Security camera microphone Axis 01560-001

AXIS T8351 Mk II Microphone 3.5 mm (Axis 01560-001) is a wired, hemispherical security camera microphone designed for clear audio capture in environments with low ambient noise. It connects via a 3.5 mm input (or compatible 4‑pin audio connector) and is powered by the network device, eliminating the need for an external power supply. The microphone offers improved recording quality compared with typical internal microphones and comes with a 5 m cable for flexible placement.

Advantages

The microphone provides omnidirectional sound pickup for consistent coverage, a wide frequency response (20–20,000 Hz) for accurate audio reproduction, and a high signal-to-noise ratio (82 dB) for clear recordings. Its wired 3.5 mm interface ensures compatibility with network products that support microphone input, and the built-in power via DC 10 V from the host device simplifies installation. The unit is compact and white-colored for discreet indoor mounting.

Suitable for

• Indoor security camera installations requiring higher-quality audio than built-in microphone options
• Reception areas, offices, and retail spaces with low ambient noise
• Fixed surveillance points where a 5 m cable length is sufficient

How to use

Connect the microphone’s 3.5 mm plug (or compatible 4‑pin connector) to the camera or network device’s microphone input.

Configure the audio input settings on the host device as required and verify levels before regular operation.

Usage recommendations

The microphone performs best in rooms with low ambient noise; avoid placing it near loud HVAC outlets or machinery. For optimal results, test audio levels after installation and adjust gain settings on the host device to prevent clipping while maintaining intelligibility.
