the amazing Mini DV Camcorder

Measuring just 55 x 28 x 20mm and weighing in at just 50g, its hardly surprising that the fabulous VCC-003 Mini DVR camera has already established itself as a "must have" accessory for mountain bikers, skiers and a wide range of other sports participants ...and it's also great for capturing some of those fun moments from your stag or hen night!

Don't be fooled by the low price or miniscule dimensions of this the unit however, as this versatile camera produces amazingly high quality video recordings (with audio), which is also why it has already become a favourite with anyone needing a camera for covert surveillance use.

Build quality is excellent and the metal housing is tough enough to take the knocks it will get even when used in some of the more extreme sports. The unit will operate at temperatures down to -10 degrees or as high as +60 degrees C and will record in light conditions right down to 1 LUX.

The technical bit:   2,000,000 pixels, CMOS colour camera, motion JPEG for AVI recording, VGA (640 x 48 pixels)

What does that mean? - well in practice (and in simple terms) it means it will good quality images with sound in a format that is easy to watch on your PC (or TV) and which can easily be uploaded to "YouTube" for sharing with your friends!

Using the camera couldn't be easier, there's a "power on/off" button, a "start/stop button" and a "Voice activated recording button". In normal use, you will only need to use the Power on/off and Start/Stop buttons, but the Voice Activation Button allows you to set the unit up for covert recording.

In covert "voice activated" recording mode, the camera will happily remain in standby mode for up to 10 days and only start recording when it detects sound over 65 db (i.e. voices, doors opening, etc). In voice activation mode the unit automatically stops recording when it has not detected sound for 2 minutes, and drops back into standby mode until it detects sound again.

The rechargeable internal Lithium battery means that you won't be spending a fortune on disposable alkaline batteries when you use this camera. A fully charged battery provide enough power to allow up to 2 hours of continuous recording or around 260 hours in standby mode. The battery is recharged by use of the supplied mains adaptor, or by connecting the camera to your PC or MAC via the USB connection.

Images are recorded onto a Micro SD card on which around 40minutes of video can be recorded per 1gb of storage capacity. The camera is supplied with a 2gb card (max card size supported is 8gb). Images can be transferred to your computer either by directly connecting the camera using the USB cable supplied, or by removing the SD card and inserting it into your computer using a suitable SD card reader.

This versatile little unit comes with everything in the box that you will need to start filming, but for the sportier among you, you may want to consider the optional "extreme sports pack" which includes a silicon weather sleeve for the camera, as well as several brackets, clips, straps, etc, which allow the camera to be securely fixed to helmets, clothing or items such as skis, etc.

A great Christmas gift for him or her, this super unit will provide year round fun!
