If you hear a steady hum or buzz in your game audio that you don't notice while standing on the field, it's almost certainly your camera's internal cooling fan being picked up by the microphone.

Reeplayer cameras use active cooling to keep the internals at a safe operating temperature during recording and live streaming. When the unit warms up, especially in direct sun or warm conditions, the fan spins faster to manage heat. The microphone is mounted close enough to the fan housing that some of that mechanical vibration ends up in the recording, even though the noise sounds quiet to a human standing nearby.

This is a known limitation of the current hardware and not a defect with your specific unit. Our engineering team is actively looking at ways to reduce how much fan noise reaches the mic in future hardware and firmware revisions.

The cleanest workaround is to plug an external mic into the camera's USB-C port. This bypasses the internal mic entirely, so no fan noise gets into your audio.

The setup our team recommends:

Watch the full setup walkthrough here: How to add an external mic to your Reeplayer camera.

Once it's mounted, the camera will capture audio from the external mic instead of the internal one, so your recordings will sound clean.

If the fan noise is severe even in mild weather, or if it sounds different from the steady hum described above (for example, grinding, rattling, or intermittent clicking), let our team know. That can indicate a hardware issue with your specific unit and we'll take a closer look. Reply with a short audio sample if you can, so we can compare it against what's expected.
