The Mini DVR has a really high quality 2.0" TFT screen built-in for previewing the image from any camera or for playing back the video you have recorded. It uses MiniSD cards up to 4gb in size which will hold just under 4 hours of high quality digital video. This unit is now supplied with a mini spy button camera.
You can connect this recorder to your computer using the supplied USB cable and watch your videos on your PC or Mac. It's also supplied with cables for instant playback to your tv.
The menu system is an absolute joy to use. It's so simple...it puts Archos recorders to shame. Recording is started by the touch of a button and you can choose to enable time/date stamping.
The changeable battery will power the recorder for over 2 hours. Changing the battery is as easy as most mobile phones. The Mini DVR records in mpeg4 format at 640 x 480 resolution. This looks great on a PC screen but if you play back the video on a very large screen then you may notice the limitations of this device. We find that most customers are more than happy with this kind of video quality and it's absolutely perfect for things like video analysis of your track day.
Editing Mpeg4 video of any type very much depends on the software you are using and the video codecs installed on your computer. You can save yourself a whole lot of hassle by converting the mpeg4 files before you try to edit them.
We see this device as a great solution for in car or on bike recording.
Have a look what the system looks like neatly mounted to a car dash here.
Beware of devices of a similar price which only support 320 x 240 resolution. These days, you should not settle for anything less than 640 x 480.
Unlike a lot of other digital video recorders in this price range, this unit does 25fps so the video will look much better on your TV.
Don't get caught out, check the spec! |
