Thank You for your interest. It really depends on the volume of the subjects being monitored. Clients have used this surveillance mic in medium sized rooms like 20 x 20 to record normal volume voices. Other clients have installed this mic outdoors to monitor dogs barking 50-60 feet away. We recommend installing these mics with high quality RG59 cable for best performance.
I had this mic for a while. But I can't hook it directly to my NVR. It has to plug into the camera. However the microphone had so much white noise that I had to start looking for different solutions.
Hi Evin, I am sorry to hear that you had some trouble. We have supplied this microphone for at least 7 years now and we have not had other reports like this so something must be wrong with the Mic that you have or the application of it. Have you tried hooking the Mic up directly to another type of input source to see if the problem is perhaps with the IP camera? Connecting the Mic directly to the recording device (NVR / DVR) instead of the camera could help too if that was possible. Does the camera you are using have a native RCA / composite audio input? If you are converting it, that could be a problem too. If you need additional help, please email me at mike@cctvcamerapros.net.
I have a mic but I need to move it from its current location but the bnc cable has the audio cable built in, I need to move it to a standard bnc cable like the one in your video that's just got red and yellow connectors. I don't want to end up rewiring the entire lot. Is there a way I can add the microphone with a 3 way splitters so I can have audio and video on 1 channel?
To check if your CCTV Camera supports audio, look for a RCA or BNC audio output port. If it does not have built-in audio, the microphone in this video can be added to any camera because it is stand-alone. It does not rely on the camera at all. You simply connect it to an audio input on your DVR. You can find more information here on connecting an audio surveillance microphone to a DVR.
Yes. This audio surveillance microphone can be added on to any analog CCTV or HD-over-Coax security camera as long as your DVR has BNC or RCA inputs for audio. www.cctvcamerapros.com/Audio-Surveillance-Microphone-p/mic-cctv-02.htm
+GhettoGamerrrr thank you for the question. Yes, this audio surveillance mic can be added to any type of security camera (analog CCTV, AHD, HD-SDI, HD-TVI, HD-CVI, network IP cameras). Please take a look at this installation diagram which show how to wire to a CCTV DVR along with a camera. www.cctvcamerapros.com/Audio-Surveillance-Microphone-p/mic-cctv-02.htm#installation
shit i wish i would of bought one of these before i filled the hole up that i ran all the wires through. i didnt think i would need a mic, but now after some use a mic would be a great addon. do you have any wireless mice that run on batteries or something? also i have a video and audio output on the back of my box what are those for there not being used for anything. the only thing i can think of is to run it to a vcr or tv or something
I am sorry to say that all of the surveillance microphones that CCTV Camera Pros supplies are hard wired. We do not carry any wireless microphones. The other audio output on your DVR are for speakers. The video output is likely for a spot monitor. A spot monitor output is used to display the live video view of your camera(s), but will not display the DVR's menu system like the regular monitor output does. You may be able to find a wireless microphone system on the market, but if you have any way to run an additional coax cable, I highly recommend a hard wired mic. It is always more reliable.
Thank you for your interest. This surveillance mic is available to order online here for $24.99. The delivery time depends on where you are located. typically between 2-5 days. www.cctvcamerapros.com/Audio-Surveillance-Microphone-p/mic-cctv-02.htm
+Chainsaw Tony Depending on your DVR type, there are different ways to enable audio surveillance recording. I am not sure if you purchased your DVR from CCTV Camera Pros because I do not know your real name. Please email us at info@cctvcamerapros.net if you need help. Please include the name and email address that was used for your order.
I have called technical support apparently I had it in the wrong channel on my DVR the microphone works perfect its excellent and it picks up very well I am so pleased thank you for your quick response

How would I go about sending audio to my computer as opposed a dvr? I have a Alesis mixer usb going to my computer with audio recording software.
My dvr connects with the yellow video cable but also has an rca input for audio, how would I connect to both?
You use two separate coax cables. One for video. One for audio.
from how long can this mic record from for example 5meters.
thank you
It depends on how loud the audio that is being recorded is. For normal operations, yes at least 5 meters is good.

At what distance can you put the microphone?
If using good quality RG59 coax cable and 18/2 power cable , you can run this microphone 500 feet away from your recorder.
