firmware is V5.2.5 build 141201 here is a little clip of the audio

any ideas
 
Is the device powered via a PoE injector or NVR?

it's powered by a 12 volt, 10 amp power supply that also powers 2 other cameras and 2 other IR panels and they are fine
 
Agreed, very old.
But first check it's not a China region camera by looking at the serial number - SADP or the web GUI - and confirming it does not have the letters CCCH embedded in it or it will likely get bricked.


looks like it is chinese DS-2CD2732F-IS20150807CCCH534623548
 
Are you able to change the audio compression via the webGUI? If it's an option, try switch between G.711 / G.726.
As a last resort it may be worth trying a separate power source.
