| I think one problem is, almost all security cameras are sold with audio these days. If the cameras have a mic, telling people "Oh, we turned the mic off in each camera" or "We don't record the audio" isn't very helpful. |

| Don't most of those dome/bubble cameras come without mics? I saw them advertised "With microphone" or something recently, which led me to assume that was a 'feature' of this model...but you know advertising |

| Just cut the cable for the microphone? |

| ▲ | 05 3 days ago | parent | next [-] | | There’s another problem with this because a camera with a mic cable cut would look from the outside exactly like a camera with mic cable intact, and maintenance is a thing, so eventually it’s bound to be replaced by a camera with a working mic either by mistake or “by mistake” on purpose. There’s a trust issue here since people who would be affected by the presence of a mic won’t be able to easily visually verify that it’s disabled. | | | |
| ▲ | wolvoleo 4 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | It's often on the board as a MEMS microphone. But yes I've done this with all my ring cameras, they were still the old type. One of them was a bitch to open up though (the indoor one IIRC) |
