Microphone Activation Sensor

Please note the cable must be ordered separately (part number 4500-01).

Designed to indicate the presence of an active recording system the Storm ATP Microphone Activation Sensor incorporates a highly visible and tactile microphone icon.
The device also includes an infrared (IR) proximity sensor that can be used to activate a microphone for Speech Recording or Voice Commanded applications.

Self Service Terminals equipped with voice recording, voice recognition or voice command are being increasingly deployed in public. However, this has raised concerns about privacy among members of the public and has prompted government agencies to review privacy regulations.

It is important that members of the public in the immediate vicinity of those terminals are made aware that voice capture technology is available at that location and may be active or in use. It may also be required that microphones situated in public spaces are, by default, maintained in a muted (or closed) condition until required for use.
The status of any microphone must be immediately obvious to anyone within recording range. These features are essential to maintain personal privacy and meet mandated requirements for personal data protection.

The Storm ATP Microphone Activation Sensor is a USB peripheral device that includes an internationally recognised microphone icon to indicate the presence of a voice recording device. The illuminated microphone icon is both highly visible and tactilely discernible.

The Microphone Activation Sensor is part of the Storm Assistive Technology Products range and is designed for use with the Storm ATP Microphone Array Module (part number AT00-15001), or other sound recording devices.
