Appendix E. Connecting Audio Devices

The camera comes with an audio jack where an audio input device, such as a microphone
with a built-in amplifier, can be connected. The audio-in jack is covered by a rubber
protection.
Do not remove this rubber protection if the audio-in jack will not be used to avoid
water or dust from entering the jack.
To connect an audio input device, do the following:
1. Pull to remove the rubber protection.
2. Connect the audio input device.
3. If the camera is installed outdoors, be sure to wrap the audio connectors with
waterproof tape (can be purchased in local hardware stores).
1. Make sure that the connected audio input device has a built-in amplifier.
Connecting an ordinary microphone will dwarf sounds and will result in
inaudible recording.
2. If the audio connectors will not be used, leave the rubber caps on to avoid
dust from entering the connectors.
