It would be a matter of repositionng the camera in a way where the wind has a less of a chance reaching it. There are covers that can possibly be used over the mic can can be researched. There are a varity of solutions as any outdoor camera is affected by wind.

@Tony I have Arlo cameras they are not affected by the wind like this. And whenever there was something loud it just comes through as distortion . The gain on the microphone seems to be too high and way too sensitive

Being able to adjust the gain would help a great deal.

@Tony it most certainly would help with  the sound problem that's kind of what I've been getting at

Have used this camera a week now and my mic audio has the same problems with wind and any loud sounds. A user variable gain setting for the mic would be most helpful, but not like the three options in the Sound Sensitivity section under Privacy and Sensitivity. A Mic Sensitivity adjustment that would work like the Motion Sensitivity would be great!
