How do I switch to Voice activation mode on the Black Vox External?
All Black Vox Audio Recorders are Voice Activation Mode only, these audio recorders are tactical audio solutions.
The device is by default set to sound activation mode only, this means it only records when sound is detected.
This ensures any recorded content does not have long silent recordings.
How can I adjust the Mic Sensitivity?
Users can adjust the mic sensitivity by plugging the device into any Windows or Mac Computer, opening the Software, and adjusting the ALC – Auto Level Control function.
Adjusting this feature ensures the Microphone can operate in a variety of environments and not just optimal environments.
Can the Black Vox record whilst charging?
Black Vox Audio recorder solutions cannot record whilst charging, they are built for tactical deployments and have extra-long-life batteries which allows them to be deployed for a very long time.
The Black Vox External can record continuously for upto 288 hours providing sound is detected. The Battery on Black Vox External can work for upto 160 days on a single charge.
Is the External Suitable for Vehicle based audio recorder?
Black Vox External has been tested in a variety of vehicles, the external 1 Metre flexible microphone allows users to thread the Mic into different locations around a vehicle.
Where the recording target is close to the front of the vehicle, we recommend deploying the device under the car seat using the magnetic housing and the threading the mic behind the passenger seat for a higher audio capture vantage point.
For larger vehicles like lorries, this type of vehicle normally has a lot more mechanical noise, we therefore only recommend the Black Vox External for this type of vehicle, positioning the device in the same under passenger seat location and threading the 1 Metre cable upwards behind the back of the passenger seat so the Mic is set at a better vantage point to capture relevant audio content.
Can Black Vox External be used as a body worn audio recording?
The External is a great option for close encounter covert audio surveillance, the tiny flexible microphone can be threaded through a shirt and positioned close to the target whilst being hidden behind clothing.
How to set Time & Date Stamp?
To configure the time and date file stamping, users need to plug in the device to a Windows OS and open the software file.
Time & Date stamp can only be configured on a Windows OS.
