Why OSHA-Compliant Audio Limiting Matters
Many low-cost surveillance kits expose users to dangerous audio levels exceeding 100-110dB, unknowingly causing permanent hearing damage over time. Our OSHA-compliant audio limiter electronically restricts maximum volume to 90dB, protecting your hearing during extended operations while still delivering clear, intelligible communications. For situations requiring higher volume (such as extremely loud environments), kits with volume control override are also available.
Piezoelectric Accelerometer Microphone Technology
Unlike traditional air-conduction microphones that pick up ambient noise, our piezoelectric accelerometer microphone detects voice vibrations directly from your throat and jaw. This advanced technology ensures:
- Crystal-clear transmission in high-noise environments (construction sites, manufacturing facilities, concerts, motorsports)
- Elimination of wind noise during outdoor operations
- Covert communication without visible microphone elements
- Consistent audio quality regardless of ambient sound levels
Ideal Applications
This 2-wire surveillance kit excels in professional environments requiring discreet, reliable communications:
- Law Enforcement: Plainclothes operations, undercover work, dignitary protection, surveillance teams
- Executive Protection: Close protection details, event security, VIP transport
- Corporate Security: Loss prevention, retail security, corporate investigations
- Event Management: Concert security, sporting events, convention coordination
- Hospitality: Hotel security, casino surveillance, resort operations
- Industrial: Manufacturing supervisors, warehouse management, facility security
