Reading the Owner's Manual reveals, "Talk through your computer’s microphone which will transmit your voice to the camera’s speaker. You will be heard through the camera."

There's a Firefox plug-in available. Select audio from the Live Video menu for instructions. If you have a 64-bit OS, then change from the default 32-bit download.

In Safari (iPad) there is supposed to be plugin for audio but the link takes you to the VLC site with no idea of what is needed. I can't seem to find any instructions on how to get any audio working on the iPad. Anyone got audio working on an iPad and if so how?
The IP Cam Viewer Pro app works great: https://appsto.re/us/GYaay.i I use the Foscam 8918W as the camera type for the Insteon standard definition camera.

The VLC plug-in depends on your OS, not the browser. An iOS plug-in is available at the VLC site. I have VLC running on an iPad and a Windows computer. I do get audio on both using Safari.
Select "other systems" under the download icon.
