Vanxse® Mini Microphone High Sensitive Pickup Audio Mic Waterproof Metal Case for CCTV Security Camera DVR System

The Vanxse Microphones I Rate as one of the Best out there for Outdoor use, Although I do have mine installed in a Plastic Box (Plastic Electrical Receptacle Boxes) to keep the Rain & Snow off of them. They are Very Sensitive, with Volume Control. I can actually hear the Deer eating Grass, Squirrels chasing each other, etc etc..! Superior Sharpness against other Microphones I have tried..! You can hook them up on the Audio Input Port on the back of your Surveillance DVR for recording Audio along with the Surveillance Video Cameras, or what I had to do, was order a Mini Hi-Fi Microphone Stereo Audio Amplifier. I believe it was around 13 bucks, and 2 Mic's can be hooked into it, then I ran a pair of old Computer Speakers off the Amplifier.. (My DVR sounded like Crap with Audio Microphones hooked into it) Vanxse Microphones seem to be getting harder to find, so I Always order Extras for Backup, Mainly because Lightening Storms here on Top of my Mountain, Close Lightening Strikes do Take them out. Over 13 Years I've had to replace mine out on my Workshop metal Building 3 times already due to Lightening Storms.. Overall, Best Bang for the Buck, Order Extras, you'll be Glad you did..!

1 star off for misleading ad or box? 4 stars for decent sound at a low price. Ad says 16000hz, Box says 6000hz. VMS software only lets you select 16khz or 32khz. But it works, so either VMS doesn't really care its 6000hz, or its really 16000hz & the box is wrong? This one makes much less humming than the "power passthrough" version. That one wouldn't work well and made a loud humming noise with the "denoise" feature on from VMS. Whether you used power passthrough or not. Much better sound with this one with "denoise" on. I made a wind sock from AC pre filter "open cell foam". I cut a length a bit wider than the mic, wrapped the mic twice, then used lo temp hot glue to keep it in place. Then glued the open sides shut like a pizza roll if that makes sense. This made it even better because we have a slight constant wind in michigan which would cut out any sound that isn't loud. Windsock pizza roll worked perfect and its very clear. Hope this helps someone.

No matter how I wired this and what filters I ran it through I still got a certain degree of static and interference. I have yet to solve the problem of why it did not work well. It appears to be made very well if I could never work out the problem why there's an interference it will be worth the money.

Is a little tricky to adjust to not get static or high pitch screeching and has way to much of an echo

Thing works great. It is cheap as hell, you have to adjust gain, slight delay in sound but, we can hear all the way up the block. Easy to install and adjust.

I wanted to add audio to my home security system and so I purchased this based on the reviews and price. I also purchased the Tonton High Sensitive Weatherproof Preamp Microphone from Amazon. This mic out performs the other mic. It is so much more sensitive. However, it is so sensitive that some noises can peak it out quickly. It also does a lot of cracking and popping. However, the price I'm giving it 5 stars. It's not perfect, but it's certainly better than the other one.

Great security microphone. When I took it out of the box, I was a little skeptical. I got it hooked up to my system and I was surprised at what I could hear with this thing. It is amazing. It has a gain screw on the under side of the unit, I adjusted mine full clockwise then backed it off a quarter turn with a small phillips head screwdriver and it picks up everything and it's not even at full gain! I recommend this product. I really don't think you'll be disappointed. I plan to get another one of these.....It is well worth the money.

This replaced a cheaper mic that had a low hum. This not only eliminated the hum, but is able to pick up voices almost twice as far away. I haven't had any experience with extremely loud noises, which may distort, but so far I have no complaints.

Very good microphone. It can pick up the sound of a hedgehog eating biscuit at 20 metres away!! and that is not even set at maximum gain!! Easy to install and wire up. Sound quality is very good for my amateur ears with my CCTV. It will even pick up conversations in the house so be warned!!!!

Performance is too bad and never recommendable.

I purchased this to provide sound on my CCTV system. It is easy to fit - just screw it onto the surface and plug the power and sound cable into the lead to your DVD. It works very well picking up the sound well with not a lot of background noise.

I bought this microphone to connect to my Hikvision DVR. Its simple to connect and easy to adjust the sensitivity using the blue screw at the bottom. After connecting i fitted it to the soffit (inside) and the microphone picks up the slightest sound. However, no matter what much i adjust the sensitivity i cannot get rid of a "hissing" sound. Turning the screw down to stop the hissing means its not sensitive enough to pick up any sound. But overall, its a very good product.
