Audio needs good amplifiers at the receiving end to make it any use. Most,
or I'd go with "all", surveillance cameras with audio are crap, to put it
bluntly, at giving decent audio, that's unless they are connected to an
amplifier with good bass tone and treble frequency control. If going for
audio facility on the camera, then try to choose one with a compressor
microphone.

Would you believe the best camera with audio I've ever used, and still
continue to use where needed, is this one:

I've just bought one of these from CPC, but for some reason, the picture
quality is really poor

Crap, even
