The HC-V720 has NO headphone jack. I wish it did. The camcorder has a good built-in mic. But if you're shooting in windy conditions, the built-in mic will pick up nasty wind noise. You'll get better-quality audio by plugging in an external microphone, like a Rode Videomic with a dead cat wind muff. But you can't monitor real-time audio. If you need to use a pro-quality external XLR mic, buy something like a BeachTek audio adapter with built-in preamps -- it has a headphone jack.

Apparently it only has a headphone jack. Technically this can be connected to the line input on a computer, where you then play back the recordings at normal speed and record them on your computer. This would be tedious to do regularly.

It does not, unfortunately. Nor does it have a headphone jack. I am a professional videographer and have found it is a great 2nd/3rd camera for multi camera shoots. For casual single cam shoots, the built in mic does a good enough job. It has a setting so that the mic "zooms in". The camera also has manual iris and manual focus adjustability, although those are all via the menu system (not a separate button) so a little clumsy that way. For the price a great little camera.

There is no audio on this unit. Here in PA it is illegal to record audio without someone's knowledge. There are audio jacks on the DVR but you would have to buy the microphones. As for monitoring it with a smart phone I'm not positive but if you can link your phone to the DVR for the video you should also be able to listen to the audio since the recorded feed would be both audio and video.

From what I understand, there is no microphone input jack for this camera. I've had the camera for a while now and I've wondered if it had this feature. What kind of microphone do you use for your other cameras?

yes there is. Red port is where the jack goes from Mic to Camera.... another port colored Black is where you plug your headphone for monitoring audio.

I have not used that feature except to test the video. I do not know if it can record sound. I don't recognize a microphone anywhere. I am not sure it can connect live with the internet, either. If you seek that, you might want to contract Olympus about that. Sorry I could not be of more help. I have not looked into the manual in a big way. I just take pictures and its wonderful for that.

It's hard to find out, isn't it? I believe we are talking about the same camera. It appears the external microphone jack is an accessory that somehow fits into the shoe on the top of the camera.

There is no microphone jack. The camera has a very useful microphone built in however.I have 3 of these cameras.

I LOVE my Olympus recorder. There is a jack for headphones, but I have not used it. it is EASY to use and I am very happy with the quality.

I also use this as a baby monitor, and would definitely recommend it. I use the app "Baby Monitor" by SunshineApps on my iPad and iPhone and yes, the audio is transmitted along with the video. There are similar apps for Android as well. If you punch a hole in your home firewall, you can monitor your camera from anywhere you have an internet connection.

No, there is not a headphone jack. The jack others are thinking of is an Audio In jack.

Yes - you need to use a recording app with high quality recording settings and If you want to hear what's happening on your headphones the app has to have a monitoring option built in as well. I use Fire 2, but I don't think that's in the App Store anymore so look for the best recording program available.

I've spent hours on google trying to figure out whether various camcorder models have microphone jacks. It is never in the description. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can Google "(model number brand) microphone jack" and find a review which specifies. I'm pissed off. It shouldn't take this long to shop for a camera.

Yes, I have two cables that connect my camcorder to my computer. One is short and one is long; however, you will need to ask the company or the person you are buying your camcorder from if this cable is included with your purchase. Don't forget to get a camcorder with an external mic jack (for quality audio recording) since many of the newer camcorders I've seen don't have this feature.
