Body-worn digital video and audio recorder

July 2004 Surveillance

The E-M3DVR is an extremely compact digital video and audio recorder. Completely embedded the recorder features an integrated LCD display, 20 GB 2,5" HDD and battery pack.

It is compatible with any standard composite video signal and can be used to record video from covert cameras, wireless video receivers or any other PAL/NTSC source. Video is inputted via a 3,5 mm CVBS socket for which RCA adapter cables are provided. The video signal is encoded in realtime into MPEG-4 format. Users can record video clips in various lengths including 30 min, 1 hour, 20 hour and 30 hour modes. Synchronised audio can also be recorded simultaneously with the video, which is compressed in G.726 compression format.

Playback can be done on the unit using the built-in LCD display, via a PC using the USB interface or through the analog video/audio output. On the unit, the user selects the play function in the menu and then the clip recorded. Clips can be given a title and selected from a list. For PC playback, one simply connects the unit via the USB interface and the PC recognises it as a removable HDD. One can then use Video For Windows to playback clips. The video/audio output can be connected to a standard video monitor or to an analog CVCR for storage onto a standard VHS cassette.

Control of the unit is via the on-screen graphical menu or via an IR remote control which is provided. Power for the unit is provided by an internal lithium ion battery or by an external 12 V d.c. supply. The battery is removable and can be swapped out with a fresh one when depleted.

Due to its extremely compact size the E-M3DVR is ideal for body-worn use.

Included with the unit are 2 x 3,5 mm CVBS to RCA cables, a USB cable, an AC adapter, IR remote, earphones, as well as a driver CD and user manual.
