PalmVID DVR PRO Series DIY Hide It Yourself Hidden Camera Kit with DVR

DVR PRO Series DIY Hidden Spy Camera Kit - Make almost anything into a hidden camera yourself!

All Components are separated from the Main Board
The camera, power jack, video jack, IR remote sensor, PIR motion sensor, status LED, battery, and the Micro SD Card Slot are all connected to the main board with long flexible cables. Having each component separated makes it much easier to mount the camera and each component where it is desired.

High Quality Video
1.3 MegaPixel CMOS Camera with 1280x720 Video Resolution delivers a true pro-grade image in conjunction with the built-in DVR that features H.264 video encoding for the best video quality possible.

Hide it yourself
It can be used as a normal video camera or security camera. Built-in mounting points allow you to attach it with to any surface using small screws or other mounting hardware (not included). The camera is smaller than a fingernail and attaches to the main board with a flexible ribbon cable. It has a pinhole lens with a wide field of view. Only the pinhole lens needs to be exposed. The camera could be further concealed by placing it behind other items with a just a small hole for the lens to see through.

PRO Series Built-in DVR Video Recorder
Advanced DVR recording functions with on-screen-setup menus make it easy to configure the options. The video is recorded internally to a removable Micro SD memory card (sold separately). Works with up to 512GB Micro SD cards. Video storage is approximately 2.5GB per hour of video recorded.

Never run out of recording space
When full this model can overwrite or "re-cycle". In this mode when the SD card is full the oldest video is deleted to make room for the newest recordings so you will always have the latest video available for review.

FULL-TIME POWER and/or BATTERY POWER
Includes a 5 VDC Wall Power cord that can provide full-time power and/or charge the battery. The built-in battery can be used to power the camera or as a backup battery. When the power cord is used for main camera power the battery will recharge until full and it will function as a backup battery if the main power goes out.

MOTION DETECTION RECORDING MODE
Both the Lite and Pro Series have video-based motion-activated recording mode. This type of motion detection saves some battery life when it isn't actively recording, but the battery still drains fairly quickly because the camera is always on. The camera needs to stay on to detect motion by "watching" to see if anything is moving in the video. The video recording is triggered instantly when any motion is detected in the video.

NEW! PIR MOTION MODE + SUPER LIFE BATTERY = BATTERY POWER FOR UP TO 100 DAYS!
Using PIR motion sensor mode and the (optional) Super-Life built-in battery the PRO Series model will work for up to 100 days in standby mode with the reserve power to record up to 12 hours of video when motion is detected. It works for that long because the camera/recorder remains in a powered-down state until body heat and movement is detected. This saves an incredible amount of battery power compared to video-motion mode. When using this mode is there is a a brief delay from when motion is detected until recording starts because the camera must power-up before recording can begin.

Wireless Remote Control Included
Control recording modes, start/stop recording manually, plus access on-screen menus and other functions.

Live Video Output and Playback
Includes an analog video output with a mini video jack and mini-jack to RCA cable that when connected will show the live video and on-screen feature menus or playback recorded video files on a regular TV.

Digital Video Playback
The video files are recorded as AVI (H.264) so they can be viewed on almost any PC, Mac, or other devices using popular free software like Windows Media Player or Kmplayer and they can be easily edited by most video editors. Simply remove the Micro SD Card you are using to transfer the files.
