I have a turret camera (IPC-T5442TM). When the wind is blowing, the audio portion of the camera feed gets pretty garbled due to the wind noise. Pretty much like someone blowing into a microphone. I have the audio settings for the camera set to enable noise filter, but I don't think wind noise is something it handles. The camera doesn't have a separate audio input, so I'm stuck with the little pin hole mic. Has anyone tried anything for pin hole microphones to reduce wind noise?

I have had great success with small bits of self-adhesive "Draught Excluder".
I apply 3 bits in a triangle surrounding the tiny microphone hole. Kills wind noise but microphone is still effective.
It comes in 5m rolls, 5mm wide, consists of many fine synthetic hairs sticking out of the adhesive back-part - image below:
