how do you make the 'moustache' to cut the wind noise down ? :)
ChrisB:
I like it! Works for me in Edge.
Totally beyond my ability to do the same for my website but thanks for the inspiration nonetheless!

These shots are 'experimental', but have worked well... In this case, that 'SW' view does NOT have a wind muff, as yet. I used some a friend had extra, similar to https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T6Y76M1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
Whatever, they should be a wool, fur, or similar synthetic, tuft of weatherproof 'hair' that won't hold water and dries quickly. Foam type, or plastic won't be acceptable in long run., maybe an inch diameter, no more than 3/4" or so 'depth'.
Now, I experimented with several 'attaching' modes. Using an RTV or similar sealing/adhesive is the best, trust me. It ALSO does allow removal and replacement if necessary, and has held up very well for a year of weather extremes.
These specific muffs have self-adhesive on back. Worthless for our purpose. Won't stay stuck. :lol:
There is a cutout on the 'backing' which MUST center over the tiny mic air port on the camera, or the backing will 'mute' the mic.
Sort of 'destroy' the adhesive, gently, with alcohol, and let dry...some of the 'fiber' tufts may come loose... don't sweat it too much.
Clean the area around the mic 'wind port' hole. Alcohol.
Apply a very thin narrow surface layer RTV (similar) sealant/adhesive around the mic port, about an 1/8 from the port opening, area size of 'muff'.
On the 'muff', cover the backing with a thin layer RTV, ensuring you DO NOT get any in the cutout for the mic port, but try to cover any loose tuft ends with the adhesive sealant.
The tricky part is to center that muff' porthole directly over the mic port. Enjoy the experience.
Whatever, DON'T smear any RTV into that mic port gap!
Let 'er dry several hours, or overnight...
These cut noise down, but also cut overall audio some, so expect that. If it's really muted, see if you've got the muff centered, and no sealant in the port hole area!
NETCAM STUDIO can serve both the audio (as 'mp3'), and the video from a camera source. However how to access the audio stream directly for website might be tricky. The Audio mp3 Stream Access address for the Reolink cams shown, and served out of properly configured NetCam Studio, with SSL installed, Port Forwarded, DNS service static IP, (Install SSL so browsers wont fail as 'non-secure'.)
will be similar to:
https://STATICDNSdomain:EXTERNALforwardedPortNumber/Audio/cam#.mp3?authToken=something-something&uniq=2.222"
This is the authToken and camera number from the html code generated by NCS for the video...
serverUrl"/Jpeg/id?authToken=token&"new Date().getTime();
becomes
serverUrl"/Audio/id?authToken=token&uniq=somenumber;

Thanks for the details, I'll go hunt them down. :)
