Audio issues with the DS-2DE2A404IW-DE3, no specific references for the LineIn. Is it Mic level or line level audio? External Louroe Verifact mic

I had been assuming that this was mic level audio, so I picked up a Louroe A-ML. But, I'm not getting anything from the Mic when connected to the camera's AudioIn and AudioGround. If I hook up a cheap Watashi mic that has a 12vdc input from a PoE splitter though, I am able to get audio into the camera. I've tried wiring the mic to the camera in every way possible, but I am not having any results.

I didn't realize it at the time of ordering the Mic, but the camera does have 12v output, but this particular mic isn't rated for 12vdc, but the Verifact A is.

Am I a moron and ordered the wrong mic? LineIn to me meant that it would take an external microphone, and that it wasn't necessarily Line level audio that it wanted.
