LTS LT-MIC High-Fidelity Audio Pickup Microphone for CCTV Systems

LTS LT-MIC High-Fidelity Audio Pickup Microphone

The LTS LT-MIC is a compact, high-fidelity audio pickup microphone designed to add clear sound monitoring to any CCTV or video surveillance installation. Built for use with analog cameras, DVRs, NVRs, or any recording device with a dedicated audio input, this low-voltage microphone captures ambient sound with adjustable sensitivity, making it a practical accessory for sites that need synchronised audio-video evidence such as offices, retail stores, reception areas, and warehouses.

Key Features

• High-fidelity capsule designed specifically for security and surveillance audio pickup rather than general consumer use.
• Adjustable pickup range from approximately 10 to 100 square metres, allowing installers to tune coverage to the room or zone size.
• Low-voltage operation at DC 12V with a minimal current draw of around 20mA, making it easy to power from an existing camera or DVR supply.
• Sensitivity rating of -35dB, tuned to pick up normal conversation and ambient noise without excessive gain.
• Signal-to-noise ratio of 70dB, helping keep recorded audio clear and free of excess background hiss.
• Compact, discreet housing suited to covert or semi-covert placement near counters, doorways, or entry points.
• Simple wired connection compatible with standard CCTV audio inputs on compatible LTS Platinum, PRO-X, and NDAA-compliant recorders and cameras.
• Cost-effective way to add audio evidence capability to an existing analog or hybrid surveillance system without replacing cameras.

Typical Use Cases

The LT-MIC is ideal for businesses wanting to capture audio alongside video for incident review, customer service quality checks, or point-of-sale verification. It pairs well with LTS Platinum and PRO-X NVR and DVR systems that support an audio-in channel, letting installers retrofit sound capture onto existing camera runs. Because the pickup distance is adjustable, the same microphone can be tuned for a small office, a retail counter, or a larger open-plan area, giving integrators flexibility during installation without needing multiple SKUs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the LT-MIC need its own power supply?
It runs on DC 12V at approximately 20mA, so it can typically be powered from a shared 12V supply already used for cameras or DVR/NVR equipment, provided a separate power and audio cable is run to the recording device.

Can I connect this microphone directly to an IP camera?
It can only be used with an IP camera if that camera has a dedicated audio input; otherwise it should be wired to a DVR, NVR, or amplifier with an audio-in port.

How do I adjust the pickup range?
The LT-MIC includes an adjustable sensitivity setting that lets installers tune the effective pickup area between roughly 10 and 100 square metres to suit the installation environment.
