ELMO Launches Pocket-Size DVR and Camera

Tool useful for covert recording, interrogations, mobile video capture

PLAINVIEW, NY–ELMO's new SUV-Cam is pocket-portable digital recording system that enables private investigators, security and law enforcement professionals to covertly record video images and audio anytime, anyplace. The compact SUV-Cam can be hand-held, worn on clothing, or attached to a dashboard, mirror or other vehicle component.

The SUV-Cam allows investigators to record anywhere without cumbersome cameras, lights and cables. Recording with traditional systems often requires vans to transport monitors, tripods and other auxiliary equipment. This, of course, severely limits where these systems can be used. The SUV-Cam eliminates these restrictions. The investigator simply points the micro camera at the subject and pushes a button to start recording. The micro camera, which is attached to the recorder/monitor by a 2.6 ft. or 4.9 ft. cable, makes it easy to record anywhere. The system's compact size makes it easy to carry from location to location while one-button recording enables hands-free operation. It can capture surveillance video, interrogations and covert images from anywhere.

The SUV-Cam provides bright, clear video images of suspects, witnesses and locations from every angle. Users can pan entire rooms or move in for detailed close-ups. Images can be viewed on the built-in monitor and easily transferred from SD cards to laptops.

The complete system--a waterproof micro camera head only 3.3“ long and 0.7“ diameter and dedicated MPEG4 DVR with a 2.2“ LCD monitor—weighs under 0.6 lbs., making it especially easy for investigators to use in areas where other recording devices would not be practical. The SUV-Cam delivers more than one hour of quality video and audio recording on an optional 2GB SD card. Sharp, clear audio is recorded by the built-in mono microphone or with an external mic. It has connections for an included AC adapter, earphone, AV output and a USB2.0 cable.

In addition to being utilized by investigators, the SUV-Cam can be used for education, documentation, security, legal and training applications. For further information, visit www.elmousa.com/cctv.
