Product Description
Coverage Diagram for Active Microphone 008 / US
Microphone Coverage Diagram
An active microphone with a wide pickup is required to record conversations in a room.
The 008 / US is an omnidirectional microphone that is compatible with many video surveillance systems and allows you to hear sounds coming from anywhere in the room.
The front of the 008 / US picks up sound slightly better than the back of the microphone, but this difference is negligible and practically unnoticeable by most listeners.
Microphone Directivity Diagram
A more accurate pick-up pattern of the 008 / US active surveillance microphone can be found in the Directivity Diagram. Depending on the angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the microphone, the sound amplification can vary, but within small limits. For best results when recording conversations, the 008 / US active microphone is best positioned towards the area covered by the CCTV camera.
Various types of video surveillance systems have their own characteristics for using external active microphones.
To connect to IP cameras,
1. Feed the output signal from the microphone to the camera's audio input and set to LINEIN in the camera settings,
2. Set audio encoding to MP2L2,
3. Set the sampling frequency to maximum,
4. Set the audio stream bitrate to maximum, and then
5. Turn on the noise filter.
The active microphone can be powered directly from the IP camera by connecting the PoE loop through the power supply.
If using an analog video recorder, send a signal from the microphone to the audio input of the recorder and turn on AUDIO programmatically in the DVR settings.
To obtain intelligible speech when recording conversations in large rooms and rooms with difficult acoustic environments, it is necessary to use multiple microphones for video surveillance systems.
Made of the highest quality materials, this small mic is designed for hidden surveillance cameras, so you can install it in almost any location where it will be invisible to visitors. The clear audio recording from this CCTV mic does not produce any feedback or buzzing sounds, giving you only crisp, clear audio quality. This is the perfect audio microphone for security DVR and CCTV systems.
The audio microphone easily connects to audio cables up to 500 feet long giving you plenty of length for an easy installation with no loss of quality. You can connect the audio cable 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 to your microphone generating the clearest sound with your system. You need to protect them from rain or snow and they work fine.

I was expecting same poor quality AC sounding hum. I monitoring honey bees so low frequency performance is important. I don't have to use noise reduction at all! I ordered two. I might order two more.(Update 4/7/2024 Great unit. I can not not over express how good the audio quality from this mic is. I use it to stream and record Honey Bees. A wind muff made this superb even in the wind. Every other mic I have tried has a low hum/noise in the same frequency ranges as bee hums and buzzes. However, definitely not directly weather proof. Ran for an entire year of direct exposure. I have a second unit. This would work great inside a protective compartment. I think inside a void in a camera mount housing is the intent. I am looking for a little plastic tip and then going to dip it in silicone. Thinking of an angle I can drill in entrance reducer block of wood that slips in the front of hive. I ORDERED TWO MORE! )

This review does NOT include a reasonable complaint about the microphones. They work and they work well. They have held up for over a year. I would get these again without hesitation.The first thing to consider is you will need to buy the cables that will allow you to use microphones. Some cables may come with fittings for these but many do not. I have seen BNC cables with 3 ends. The extra fitting is for microphones to use. The cost of additional cables is an additional expected expense. If you want sound then you have to buy both microphones and the cables needed to bring the sound to your recorder.Installation of the microphones confused me at first. Then I discovered that it was really simple. Unplug the power wire from your camera. Plug that power wire into the microphone power in plug. Next plug the power out end of the microphone into the power in plug of the camera use the other connector as required and you are finished. It was harder to figure out than it was to install.Why only 4 stars? At this price point we can not expect noise cancelling ability. The microphone can pick up a lot of wind noise. The solution is to make a windsock of some type that fits over the microphone designed to reduce or maybe even eliminate wind noise. This microphone is not only lacking a wind sock but no wind sock is offered as an extra cost option.I know adding a wind sock would increase the price somewhat. It would greatly improve the microphones capability if it was offered. Because a wind sock for noise reduction is neither included nor offered as an accessory I took 1 star off. If a wind sock was included or available as an extra cost option I would upgrade this to 5 stars.EDIT: These microphones have held up for over 3 years now with no issues. They are plenty sensitive. I still wish they offered a windsock to reduce or eliminate wind noise.

I bought this as a replacement microphone for the one that came with my Chinese PTZ camera and only lasted until the first rain. So far it has held up against the elements, especially heavy rain with no issues. I love its small and stealthy footprint. Sound quality and sensitivity are impressive for something in this price range. I'm using it with the G.726 codec (8kHz sampling rate) and adjusted the input level on the camera, rather than messing around with the little gain screw on the mic itself. I'll probably cover the adjustment screw with electrical tape to make sure no water and dirt are getting in over time. The noise level is low enough to clearly pick up the first crickets of the season and even things like a plastic tarp gently flapping in the wind. Environmental noises like cars and birds are crisp and clear for a CCTV system. I haven't had a chance to eavesdrop on a conversation yet, but my cats certainly approve of the authentic replication of the bird sounds on my property :)Update: After a recent rain shower it is now dead. It lasted only a little over half a year, which is why I'm knocking off two stars.
