INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the STEALTH1! This system is a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) hidden inside an imitation motion sensor, with a built-in high quality pinhole camera. This device allows you to record video footage discreetly using 3 different recording modes: MANUAL, SCHEDULED, and MOTION DETECTION. Record footage directly to the included SD card and view your captured video by connecting to a TV, computer or laptop (SD card reader required; not included). The STEALTH1 can be placed on a table or mounted on a wall to allow you the flexibility of placing it in various locations. The STEALTH1 can also be powered using four AA batteries (not included) to make the system completely wireless.

FEATURES

Covert System

The STEALTH1 is a complete recording system hidden inside an imitation motion sensor. Mount it virtually anywhere and record video to the built-in SD card. The unit's conventional appearance allows you to watch over your business, employees, or valuables completely undetected.

Up to 45 Days of Recording

Capture high quality digital video and record directly onto the included SD CARD. Install a 32GB card (not included) and get up to 2 years worth of recording.

Battery Operable Wireless Monitoring

Now you can record wirelessly by powering the camera with 4 AA batteries. Monitor for up to 17 hours in standby mode or 12 hours when continuously recording (lithium batteries recommended, not included). An AC power adapter is included for more permanent use.

Motion Activated Recording

Motion activated recording settings let you choose to record only when necessary. Simply set the sensitivity to your desired level. Using motion detection record settings will conserve SD card memory so you can monitor for longer periods of time.

Easily Review and Transfer Video

The STEALTH1 offers a live-view mode. You can view video footage by connecting to your TV, or remove the SD card to view all recorded video on your computer. This is also useful for submitting to law enforcement or security professionals if your video footage is needed.

24 Hour Scheduled Recording

Setup your preferred scheduled recording time throughout a 24 hour day. You are able to record video footage using three different types of recording modes: MANUAL, SCHEDLED, and MOTION ACTIVATION.

High Quality MPEG-4 Compression

MPEG-4 compression recording allows for hours of recording without any sacrifice in quality. MPEG-4 is a video format that is familiar to most computers so you can review, back up and archive on your PC easily.
