Great Feature Set for the Price, but Audio is Terrible

It is true you get what you pay for and this is a budget camera, but packing features of cameras well above its price point. There are some nice settings enabling how long you want to capture video as well as audio and you can adjust sensitivity and PIR settings to get the camera to trigger best in your application. Biggest complaint must be the audio. It is muffled and virtually inaudible with the case door closed. Testing it with the door open illustrates it is not a flaw of electronics, but an artifact of the waterproof housing. I improved the audio quality considerably by simply drilling a hole in the bottom of the cover swing door. Yes, it diminishes the true watertight design, but with the camera mounted vertically and the hole at bottom, rain will find it hard to get in. Time will tell, but audio was important to me in my purchase decision. Next step will be to use some goretex material to cover the hole to see if audio can permeate through the membrane yet keep water out.
