The Security Optical Microphone has uses in machine and equipment monitoring, particularly in hostile environments, and in overt or covert security surveillance applications.

The only part of the Security Optical Microphone present in the monitored area is the tip of an inert 6mm diameter cylinder. In overt or covert security surveillance, whether used as a back-up device supporting other overt recording technology, as a covert unit or as an overt, albeit concealed device, the combination of innovative opto technology with advanced signal processing and conditioning has produced a device with many advantages over more traditional approaches.

For applications where evidence gathering is the primary objective, the high quality of the captured sound recording and the wide coverage achieved by the unit make it a very useful addition to the equipment portfolio.

Where there is no benefit in thin, transparent fiber cable, we recommend the more robust Kevlar reinforced 3mm PVC cable.
