IP8M-2454E Microphone

[Shaggy D]

Is just a standard condensor mic enough for the MIC input source for this model of camera?

I tried a standard CIRCA 2001 pink-plug PC Mic and it doesn't seem to do anything.

However, if I plug in a pre-amplified audio source, like my phone's audio output whilst playing Spotify, I can hear that just fine.

Here because I'm just wondering if I'm doing something wrong .

You need an electret condensor mike which is powered and amplified so it can output enough audio to be used with the cam.

I tried a standard CIRCA 2001 pink-plug PC Mic and it doesn't seem to do anything.

That's because it's not powered and amplified.

However, if I plug in a pre-amplified audio source, like my phone's audio output whilst playing Spotify, I can hear that just fine.

As above, because it's pre-amplified.
