Hmmm. A long time ago I bought one of these:

View attachment 220896

for use with my RLC-423S BeeCam, because YouTube Stream Now requires an audio track*, but I never hooked it up because it was too much trouble to extract my BeeCam wiring from the box I crammed it into, so it's sitting in a box somewhere in my junk room. I should go find it.


* I worked around that issue by adding a classical music track.

I took my camera apart, and unless the mic is hidden somewhere, it does not have an onboard mic. I would assume that if there was one, it would either be on the lens cover and would have a lead back to the main PCB, or on the PCB itself if it were meant to detect noise rather than record audio.

There does seem to be some pins left open on the header for a mic along with unpopulated pads for caps or resistors.




On the lens cover, there are 2 sets of IRs, both 850nm. Each set is driven independently by the near and far IR settings in the software. The defused one is the near.

If these were made to spec for ALPR systems, they probably left the mics out as unnecessary in order to save a few Yuan.

Maybe. I am a little surprised they would leave that out since it wouldn't offset the cost of having to manage another sku, different pcb, etc.

Now that I've seen the inside of the camera, I'm pretty impressed by the quality of it.

Didn't get a big enough picture of the PCB to find out when it was built? You could log in to the camera and go to system, Maintenace and export the data for the camera from the Export Diagnosis Info. Then would need to unpack the tz file and it would have the date when it was built but if it was still apart and could see more of the PCB could tell you lol..

The silkscreens on the PCBs have component placements, but I couldn't find a design date, only it's rev A, which is reflected on the UI screen. There nearest thing I can find to a production date is the camera module, which, if I had to guess based on the sticker, was made in 2021?
