It has a built-in li-ion battery which will record and provide power to the Sony HQ1 camera for about 80mins. You can also plug any 12v supply in to it to extend record times.

This unit also supports the cameye LANC remote controller so you can keep it tucked safely out of the way and remain in full control.

Putting it simply, if you want the very best video quality available from a bullet camera and small DVR, this is the one to choose.

This recorder uses compact flash cards and is supplied with a PCMCIA adapter. Most laptops have a PCMCIA slot on them so you will be able to take the card out from the recorder and instantly view the video on your computer. If you don't have a PCMCIA slot then a CF card reader can be purchased for less than £10.00 from just about anywhere on the web.

The video processor in this recorder uses advanced algorithms to reduce the effect of interlacing articles attributed to digital video when played back on a TFT screen.

It does not come with a screen but we can supply an external 3" TFT test monitor to make it easier to set up your camera. The screen can be left plugged in during recording or removed for greater portability.

With a solid alloy case, this is the most rugged DVR suitable for use in just about any environment.
