An external mic placed closer to the coverage area solves the issues with intelligibility and background noise drowning out the sounds the system needs to pick up.

If there are sounds coming from between the camera and the coverage area, those sounds can drown out the audio you actually want to hear.

The camera is probably mounted in a corner. When sound reaches a corner it echoes and reverberates, making it less intelligible.

Cameras are typically installed to optimize the field of view. This usually places them too far away for decent audio pickup.

Here are 3 reasons why an external microphone outperforms a camera's built in microphone in security systems 🧵

Video used to be silent and black & white. Today video is in color & at full volume. When cameras record, it's not just video. That's why most recorders sold today support audio. SoundSecure specializes in adding sound to security. Reach out today to #HearWhatYourCamerasSee.

Retailers can use sound in their security system to review Red Flag transactions like open drawers, manual discounts, and returns. The combination of video and audio enables the detection of theft and fraud. Add Sound to Your Security and #HearWhatYourCamerasSee.
