Audio hardware for CCTV

Jun 14, 2006 3 Replies

Hello everyone,



A customer asked if I can install a dome-type camera with a microphone. I've searched high and low, can't find anything. Does anyone know a part that would have a decent enough quality of sound and a shape of a dome, preferably as small as possible?



Also, not being able to find an all-in-one unit I am going to attempt to install a regular mini dome-type camera and, in addition to it, the Supercircuit's super high gain mic stuck in a hole drilled in the ceiling tile:

Does anyone have any real life experience working with these? Do you get a lot of background noise with these? Am I off-base with this solution?



Thanks!

Before you go any further, there is a reason you cannot readily find cameras with audio capability. Check your state and federal laws concerning recording audio without a persons permission. Everyone involved, including you, may find themselves in court if these laws are violated.

Well, latest I heard here in Pennsylvania it is not illegal to record audio but it cannot be used in court as evidence. I guess, it won't hurt to triple check that, but that's what a reputable CCTV distributor is telling us...
