My family knows a guy who had an old CCTV system installed decades ago using analog cameras that used phone lines, signal amplifiers and such, but all the equipment is so outdated and broken that it is basically trash now.
We might replace his system with IP cams. Unlike most systems, this guy's primary concern is good audio, and the video really doesn't matter. Simpler is better. The cameras are intended to be fairly portable (connected to long cables) so compact PoE cameras with integrated microphones are ideal. I just am not sure if there are any cameras that do a significantly better job with audio compared to others. I know from experience that the old dahua 2mp starlightbullets turrets with integrated mics do a pretty decent job. But the audio was never my primary focus before.
Anyone have any suggestions?
