INTRODUCTION

Our popular E-M5VDR has received a major face lift and has been renamed the E-M5DVR-2. This new model is similar in size to the old model but with the addition of a touchscreen LCD, digital camera connection and support for upto 720P HD recording resolution.

MICRO SIZE

Extremely small in size, the E-M5DVR-2 has an aluminium-mag-alloy metal case and has been built to withstand the ruggedness required by investigators and/or users of such recorders. Ideal for body-worn applications, the E-M5DVR-2 with battery, SD card and screen is slightly smaller than a standard packet of cigarettes.

RECORDING

The unit is configured by an on-screen-display touchscreen interface and has a single button for easy recording activation. With the single button activation, use of the recorder by non-technical operators is made easier. The E-M5DVR-2 now also features internal software motion detection. When used in this mode, the DVR only records when there is movement in front of the camera. Configurable in the menu, the user can also configure the DVR for schedule activated recording, or continuous recording. LED indicators notify the operator of recording having started. On a 1 GB SD card, the E-M5DVR-2 can record for ±60 minutes. Support is provided for SDHC cards upto 32GB.

PLAYBACK

Recordings can be played back via the AV output to a compatible display. Alternatively video clips can be exported to a PC via the USB port or simply by removing the card and inserting into a flash drive. These files are in a standard .AVI format and can be played back using standard video for windows players. Unlike other PVRs, this unit has a time/date stamp which is overlayed onto the video. Time/Date is essential for investigators and law enforcement officials. A special new feature is the insertion of a digital counter onto the video.
This is useful for evidence purposes to prove a frame or frames have not been removed or added.

BATTERY

An upgraded function of the unit is the new clip-on battery. The battery is now a 1/3 of the size of the recorder and can easily be replaced during operations. With the E-M5VDR-2, the unit shuts down and saves the file before the battery is depleted. When a fresh battery is attached and the unit is switched on again, it resumes from the mode it was in when switched off. Another important feature is that of the voltage output for a covert camera. With the E-M5DVR-2, one can power our 5VDC covert E-HEADCAM2 or the new digital E-HEADCAM-MEGAPIXEL (http://www.eaglecctv.co.za/display_prod.php?product_id=3891) with the recorder for ±200 minutes.
