Security camera microphone Axiom 01560-001 — wired 3.5 mm, sensitivity -22 dB, 20–20000 Hz, 5 m cable, white

Axiom 01560-001 is a wired security camera microphone designed for audio capture in surveillance systems. The electret microphone offers a sensitivity of −22 dB, a frequency response of 20–20,000 Hz and a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 82 dB. It connects to recording devices via a 3.5 mm (1/8") jack, uses DC power with an operating voltage of 10 V, and comes in a white plastic housing with an attached 5 m cable, making it suitable for indoor camera setups and monitoring.

Advantages

The Axiom 01560-001 provides a compact and easily installed wired audio input for surveillance cameras and recorders that accept a 3.5 mm connection. With wide frequency response and a relatively high SNR, it captures speech and ambient sounds with clarity appropriate for indoor monitoring. The 5 m integrated cable and white plastic housing simplify placement and concealment in typical interior environments. Its DC-powered design aligns with common camera power arrangements where a 10 V supply is available.

How to use

Connect the Axiom 01560-001 microphone to the camera or recorder microphone input using the 3.5 mm jack. Ensure the recording device provides the required DC supply (operating voltage 10 V) or otherwise supports powering the electret microphone according to the device documentation. Position the microphone housing in the indoor area to be monitored, avoiding close proximity to loud noise sources or HVAC vents to reduce unwanted noise. Route and secure the 5 m cable to prevent strain and accidental disconnection.

Usage recommendations

For optimal speech intelligibility, place the microphone within a few meters of the primary sound source and orient it away from direct airflow. Verify the camera or recorder input level and adjust gain in the recording device if available to avoid clipping. Use the white housing to blend the microphone into light-coloured interiors and protect the unit from direct exposure to moisture or strong drafts.
