12 V CCTV microphone pickup
This DC 12 V microphone pickup captures audio for IP camera and DVR surveillance systems. It operates at 12 VDC with a 10 mA draw and includes red power and white audio connectors. The unit provides a listening range from 5 to 40 square meters.
Installers needing simple audio capture
Suited for security monitoring where a high-sensitivity microphone with plug-and-play setup is required. Not for users who need a longer cable run than supplied or who require a different operating voltage. Buyers wanting built-in recording storage should look elsewhere.
Plug-and-play installation
The microphone connects directly to the camera or DVR using the two colour-coded leads. No additional drivers or configuration are needed. The main issue is ensuring the 12 V supply is stable; incorrect polarity or voltage can damage the unit. Sensitivity is rated at -43 dB at 1000 Hz.

Questions about this item
Does the microphone need a separate 12 V DC power supply to operate?
Yes, it requires a 12 V DC source capable of supplying at least 10 mA; the red connector carries power and the white connector carries the audio signal.
Can I connect this pickup directly to the RCA audio input on an older analogue DVR?
The white RCA plug carries line-level audio from the microphone, so it can feed any recorder or camera with a compatible RCA audio input.
How do I verify the unit is capturing sound after wiring it up?
Monitor the recorder’s audio channel; you should hear clear pickup from anywhere within the 5 to 40 square metre listening area, with a sensitivity of –43 dB at 1000 Hz.
