The High-Quality Sony Camera Recording Kit is able to achieve full DVD quality video and also has a built-in colour preview screen.
This kit records in progressive scan mode so the video looks great on any TV or computer screen without having to de-interlace the video.
The High-Quality Sony Camera Recording Kit records in either mpeg2 or mpeg4 mode making it really flexible for all users! The built-in Li-Poly battery will power itself plus the Sony bullet camera for around 5 hours. It can record at 8mb/s 720 x 576 and has the added advantage of being much smaller and much easier to setup your camera with it's full colour screen.
The on-screen menu makes it easy to use and setup. It has a built-in microphone with variable gain control. This makes it a tidy solution with only one cable running from the recorder to the camera.
The bullet cameras supplied in this package are the Sony HQ1 or HQ2 models. The HQ2 camera not only gives exceptional colour reproduction and a quick response to changing light conditions but is comparable to £600 CCTV cameras in low light performance.
The HQ2 camera is one of the smallest on the market making it comfortable to wear and easy to mount. It's waterproof down to 3m of water and extension cable runs up to 50m are available. The recorder part is not waterproof and should not be allowed to get wet.
Supplied with 1m of cable between camera and recorder; cable runs of up to 50m are possible with this kit. The connection to this recorder from the camera is a high quality push fit "lemo" connector.
This system records on to a compact flash card. At full quality it needs 4.5gb per hour of video. A 32gb CF card is the largest available at this time holding around 8 hours at full quality.
It is important to note that this system supports recording only and not playback. Video playback needs to be done on a computer. You will be able to see what the camera is pointing at and what you are recording on the built-in screen.
