Have you been looking at your flashlight lately, and thinking about how great it would be if it could only do a little bit more than just shine a light? Maybe you would like it if your flashlight could also record what you were looking at? If so, then the new Swann’s Flashlight DVR may be just what you need.
I would love to get my hands on one of these…
This all-in-one portable solution combines a high-powered, working flashlight, color camera and DVR in a durable aluminium alloy case. Easy, one touch operation coupled with a robust feature set makes the portable FlashlightDVR™ an invaluable tool for covert surveillance.
The FlashlightDVR™ can record video either internally, via 128MB flash memory, or externally through an SD card (up to 2GB, sold separately). The DVR utilizes the latest MPEG4 technology which allows for increased video storage capacity. Recorded content can easily be viewed or transferred to a computer by using the flashlight’s USB port. The FlashlightDVR™ allows users to record in low light conditions with Night Vision and record audio in any situation via a built-in microphone.
