Elmo SUV Cam 


The Elmo SUV Cam is a portable, pocket sized MPEG4 recorder.  The camera can be mounted to a helmet, bike, dashboard of your car, almost anywhere! Great for adventure sports such as skateboarding, snowboarding, dirt biking, car racing, rock climbing, in fact just about any extreme activity where you want to catch all the P.O.V. action. The Micro Waterproof CCD Camera Head is 20mm in diameter by 84.8mm in length (approx. the size of a lipstick case), is waterproof to 40m, and is made from tough stainless steel that can resist deformation forces up to 930kgf*.

 

The SUV Cam is also ideal as a spy cam for surveillance work by security or law enforcement officers. It has one-push start up; then one more push to start recording via a large record button on the front of the unit that can be easily operated while wearing gloves. The main unit weighs only 130g with battery loaded and is pocket-sized at 56mm x 102mm x 30mm. There is an internal microphone but can also be fitted with an optional external microphone (not supplied).
