Danny79 0 Posted December 17, 2007 I want to buy a mic where I can conceal by the front door and have it go to my dvr. Can anyone direct me to that proper website or link for that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorpion 0 Posted December 17, 2007 Check your local laws before you do. It can be a real pain in the neck, but three feet lower when you are doing audio recording. It will also depend on what you are going to do with the recording. If you are just going to keep this "information" to yourself then take it upon yourself to do so, but we "told you so". If you plan on getting a recording, and presenting it to someone with the "GOTCHA"!! Then I would highly, and I repeat highly recommend that you make up some signs forwarning people that audio recordings are in progress, and post them in a good visible spot. I see that you want to have the microphone hidden, and that is a sign of the "I got you, and here it is back in your face"! If it is to be hidden for security purposes that is fine, but hook up a visible microphone so that it can be seen, and someone cannot say they did not know that they were being recorded. If someone tried to damage it then the hidden one would be protected, and you would still have the recording. I would actually recommend buying a bullet camera with the microphone built in. http://icrealtime.com/solutions/cameras.asp?cameraid=ICR150 If you buy 20 to 30 units then I am sure they would be glad to sell direct. you will need to find a distributor near you. Just remember if you do a "bad" video recording it is misdemeanor, and if you do a bad audio recording it is a felony. You can video tape ladies in a dressing room, and you will get slapped on the wrist. If you have audio taping with it you had better run, and hide before the police get you, as they can throw the book at you. Microphones are great in businesses. If they get robbed by a crook with a hidden face then you might recognize the perp by an accent, or a lisp, or the police dept may recognize the perp by voice! If you are doing a recording from a long distance to where someone is standing then you may need a shotgun microphone. Do not forget that when you listen to the recordings that you are going to be hearing every plane, train, and automobile, and all other street noises!

Danny79 0 Posted December 17, 2007 Hummmm, Well I live in California LA. I totally forgot about that point if its illegal. I dont know to be honest with you. The mic is only intended for security purpose in front of my home. I do live near an airport and lots of cars do pass by. Now im considering not getting a mic since it will be pretty noisy and pic of a lot of crap. Eh nvm I think Ill stay mic less. lol thanks for your input I really appreciate it.

scorpion 0 Posted December 17, 2007 When you are playing back the audio you can run it through high end equalizers, and notch filters. If you are an electronics buff, then you can set up two mics. One for recording, and the other to listen to the back ground noise, and then cancel it on the main mic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
