a living room/kitchen/dining room combo open area and two bathrooms and two bedrooms - the bathrooms could be omitted. The need is strictly for audio surveillance. Could you please give me a guesstimate as to cost? Is it something that your people could come and install relatively inexpensively? I have very limited funds, but this is becoming a high priority to get done and I am not a tech person.</p> <p>We answered these questions as follows:</p> <p>Although CCTV Camera Pros' specialty is video surveillance, we are also suppliers of <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Audio-Surveillance-Microphones-s/243.htm">surveillance microphones</a>. You can find the one that may be a good fit for the situation that you described here: stand alone <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Audio-Surveillance-Microphone-p/mic-cctv-02.htm">audio surveillance microphone</a>.</p> <p>The simplest solution that we have to offer is to use these microphones with an inexpensive DVR card that supports the number of channels of audio that you require. Our DVR cards can be found here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/NUUO-DVR-Cards-s/298.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/NUUO-DVR-Cards-s/298.htm</a></p> <p>The cabling that you would use for this can be found here:<br /> <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/RG59-Siamese-CCTV-Cable-s/259.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/RG59-Siamese-CCTV-Cable-s/259.htm</a></p> <p>All that being said, I am not sure if a surveillance system is the best fit for what you are trying to accomplish. You may be better off with a home intercom system that has a feature to let you activate or leave certain rooms on (the ones that you want to hear) or be able to select the room from the remote speaker location.</p> <p>I would actually recommend looking into that first, especially for a residential install. If what you are seeking is more hidden/covert, then you should consider our audio surveillance equipment. </p> <p>Please post any follow up questions to this forum post.</p> <p>Thank You.<br /> -Mike </p></div> <div class="poststuff">Posted 6 months ago <a href="#post-83">#</a> </div> </div> </li> <li id="post-90" class="alt"> <div class="threadauthor"> <img alt="" src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/e676d9f71a5d6d867e9606da85c8a452?s=48&d=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D48&r=g" class="photo avatar avatar-48" style="height:48px; width:48px;" /> <p> <strong>Mountainjayhawk</strong><br /> <small>Member</small> </p> </div> <div class="threadpost"> <div class="post"><p>I just need audio and I need it hidden so that we can record what happens when we are out of the house. </p></div> <div class="poststuff">Posted 6 months ago <a href="#post-90">#</a> </div> </div> </li> <li id="post-91"> <div class="threadauthor"> <img alt="" src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/e1c6b12590984b9dae5f153548d156df?s=48&d=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D48&r=g" class="photo avatar avatar-48" style="height:48px; width:48px;" /> <p> <strong>Mike</strong><br /> <small>Support Engineer</small> </p> </div> <div class="threadpost"> <div class="post"><p>Mountainjayhawk,</p> <p>Again, CCTV Camera Pros way more specializes in video surveillance and offers audio as an add-on so any system we have is more centered around video surveillance. That being said, the simplest and most affordable solution that we have to offer is the following:</p> <p><ol type="1"><li>One <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/4-Channel-DVR-PCI-Card-p/nuuo-scb-3004.htm">NUUO DVR PCI card with 4 channel video / 4 channel audio</a></li><li>This <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Audio-Surveillance-Microphone-p/mic-cctv-02.htm">stand alone audio surveillance microphone</a></li><li>You can either choose a <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-Security-Camera-Cables-s/258.htm">premade audio/ video surveillance cables</a> that runs both the audio and video to use with the mic or you can use a spool of <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/RG59-Siamese-CCTV-Cable-s/259.htm">RG59 siamese cable</a> with BNC and RCA ends that you put on your self like these:<br /> <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-BNC-Crimp-p/bncmalecrim.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/CCTV-BNC-Crimp-p/bncmalecrim.htm</a><br /> <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/RCA-Connect-Tight-Connector-p/rca-male-compression.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/RCA-Connect-Tight-Connector-p/rca-male-compression.htm</a></li><br /> </ol></p> <p>As much as I do not like to turn down business, we are honest here and recommend that if you are implementing an audio surveillance only solution that you may want to see if there are better audio only solution available on the market.</p> <p>Please let us know if you have any further questions.</p> <p>Sincerely.<br /> -Mike </p></div> <div class="poststuff">Posted 6 months ago <a href="#post-91">#</a> </div> </div> </li> </ol> <div class="clearit"><br style=" clear: both;" /></div> <p>  <script type="text/javascript"> addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; addthis_pub = 'cctvcamerapros'; </script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/addthis_widget.php?v=12"></script> please bookmark or share this page for future reference  </p> <p><a href="http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/support/rss/topic/audio-surveillance-system" class="rss-link">RSS feed for this topic</a></p> <div class="nav"> </div> <h2 class="post-form">Reply</h2> <p>You must <a href="http://videos.cctvcamerapros.com/support/bb-login.php">log in</a> to post.</p></div>  </div>  <div id="footer"> <p>© 2010 <a href="http://www.cctvcamerapros.com">CCTV Camera Pros</a> | <a href="http://www.mammothinternet.com">Website Design by Mammoth Internet Marketing Services</a></p> </div> <script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct = "UA-470582-3"; urchinTracker(); </script> </body> </html>
