New pocket-sized video and audio recording system utilizing solid state recording media combines ELMO microcamera technology, an MPEG4 digital recorder and a built-in color TFT 2.2-inch LCD monitor. The compact camera head (3.3"long by .7" dia.) and recorder/monitor body (3.54" x 2.2" x .9") and 0.6lb weight make it usable as a handheld or body-worn surveillance, evidence-gathering and school bus security device. Law enforcement and security personnel can operate the unit while on foot patrol, riding a motorcycle or bicycle, or in a vehicle.

The heart of the system is a microcamera head with a high quality 3.8 mm, F2.0 lens. The ¼-inch color CCD has 2:1 interlaced scanning system with an effective pixel number of 752 x 582. With 480 TVL (H) and 350 TVL (V) resolution and a S/N ratio of >48dB, it provides detailed images on the high-resolution monitor screen or for recording in illumination as low as 2 lx. The lightweight camera can be positioned to capture a variety of P.O.V. images. User-selected adjustments through the recorder's on-screen menus manage such functions as frame rate, resolution, camera and display brightness, contrast and playback speed. One-touch simplified recording permits hands-free operation. The fully immersible camera head is waterproof up to 130ft. and is connected to the monitor/recorder by cable available in 2.53 ft. or 4.92 ft. lengths.

MPEG4 encoding delivers fully synchronized audio and video recording with video resolution up to DVD quality (D1 resolution) at 30fps, storing files of up to 4GB on optional SDHC cards. This eliminates the problem of hard-drive storage media in handheld and body-worn video recorders. Audio is captured by the built-in mono microphone or a user supplied external mic. The unit has connections for an AC adapter, earphone, AV output and a USB2.0 port. Its battery capacity provides 2 hours of recording at 30fps and 3 hours of playback of clear, detailed images recorded at speeds of 25, 15, 5, 3 or 1fps. Resolution settings from 704x480, 640 x 480, 320 x 240 or 160 x 128 can be selected. Offers both NTSC or PAL compatible video outputs.

Key Features

• Weatherproof Camera
Not only is the camera ultra small, but it is also weatherproof and can be used in water depths down to 132 feet (40m) with no housing required. 1 closePlease Note:The recorder part of this system is not waterproof

• Records to SDHC Flash Memory Card
Video is recorded in the MPEG4 compression format and is stored to an SDHC memory card up to 4GB in capacity. Recorded video can be viewed right on the recorder's 2.2" high resolution LCD display or on any PC running Windows Media Player. MPEG4, with its ability to keep file sizes to a minimum while retaining high video resolution is the preferred compression method for DVRs and related devices.

• Adjustable Video Quality
A user can choose between three picture quality levels and three recording speeds in order to prioritize quantity over quality or vice versa, depending on a particular application.

• Fixed White Balance Function
Along with the Auto white balance function, we have added a one-push fixed white balance function that compensates the color to precisely match the recording environment. Under difficult light conditions, the SUV-Cam's fixed white balance function allows faithful reproduction of your images.
