A Complete Video Surveillance System in a Briefcase

Let's look today at a unique product, a complete, self-contained video surveillance system concealed in a briefcase! This system includes 2 professional security cameras, a self-contained portable DVR (Digital Video Recorder), and all the necessary cables, connections and power supplies to form a complete, portable video surveillance system that is concealed in a briefcase. One of the cameras is concealed in the side of the briefcase, the other concealed in the bottom. A mercury switch automatically chooses which camera is active - when the briefcase is carried it's the one on the side - if the briefcase is laid on its side, it's the one on the bottom. So this complete system can fit into any covert video surveillance situation.

Let's take a little closer look at the individual components that make up this system. There are three options available when choosing the security cameras in this system. The first is a black and white wired camera that uses a 1/3" Sony digital CCD chip, with a resolution of 400 lines and low-light operation down to .05 LUX. The second camera option is the same camera with X-Vision technology added, which allows the camera to see down to .003 LUX. The third camera option is a color camera that uses a 1/4" Sony digital CCD chip with a resolution of 380 lines and low-light operation down to 1 LUX.

If you've ever wondered what those LUX values actually mean, here's a quick comparison - 1 LUX is about the amount of light available late in the evening around dusk. .5 LUX is about the amount of light available in a well-lit parking lot at night. And a security camera that can see down to .05 LUX can actually record images in less light than unaided human eye. So the optional camera with X-Vision technology would actually allow this camera to see in near total darkness (.003 LUX).

The DVR that comes with this video surveillance system is a complete, self-contained unit with a rechargeable battery pack. It can record up to 40 hours of video. Video can be viewed with the built-in 3.5" LCD screen or you can connect it to the video input of your TV or video monitor. Video can also be transferred to a computer via a high speed USB 2.0 interface. This DVR has a built-in voice recorder as well, and can record up to 910 hours of audio.
