Sony SCA-M30

Microphones are a powerful addition to IP camera surveillance systems, adding an audio layer to the information captured by a security system. They can help draw an operator's attention to incidents or add meaning to an otherwise unintelligible scene. In monitored meetings or interrogations, a ceiling-mounted microphone adds an essential soundtrack to the video recording.

The SCA-M30 is an unobtrusive, indoor microphone which is optimised for capturing clear, high quality sound. Its high sensitivity is enhanced by physical protection against vibration and a filter to reject unwanted low-frequency noise.

Installation is easy, with a range of ceiling mounting options. It connects directly to Sony's IP cameras, which also supply the microphone's operating power.

• Highly Sensitive
Capture even the quietest sounds with an extremely sensitive electret transducer.

• High Pass Filter to remove low frequency environmental noise
A high pass filter blocks low frequency noise from fans, air conditioning, traffic, etc. improving the clarity of acquired audio.

• Housing minimises unwanted noise
Acoustic shielding suppresses noise from the sides and back of the microphone allowing effective pickup from the front.

• Simple to set audio pickup direction
Set the direction of maximum pickup by simply rotating the microphone protective grill.

• Scalable input sensitivity
The input sensitivity of the microphone is easily adjusted to the optimum level for specific installations.

• Easy to install
The microphone is easily installed recessed or projecting from a ceiling using only standard tools.

• Robust protective housing
The SCA-M30 is encased in a rubber protective shell which is also spring-mounted to minimise the effects of vibration.
