GunCam Video recorder
Macroswiss / Switzerland
Macroswiss has developed the Guncam recorder unit for use by Police
Forces and Armies that need to record firefights from the users
perspective for accountability purposes. These miniature DVR units can
be attached to a weapon or be kept on a belt or in the pouch of a vest.
When not mounted directly on the weapon the camera and the recorder are
connected to the weapon mounted camera by a coil-cable. The camera can
be set to record video only when the weapon’s safety is released, in
user-switchable recording mode where the user decides when to record, or
in continuous recording mode. Data is recorded on a compact flash card.
The GunCam DVR records high-definition 640x480 pixel images, which can
be viewed as a video or exported as single high definition frames. Every
frame has its unique timestamp, which is recorded in a tamper-proof
format. The system is powered by Lithium-Polymer batteries that can
provide up to 14 hours of standby time and up to 8 of hours recording.
Approximately 4 hours can be recorded on a single 4 Gb C ompact Flash
Card. For extended use, the system employs a 'Circular Buffer' recording
method, where new files record over the oldest files. The camera records
video in a proprietary SYAC™ FLM™ format. After a mission, the images
are downloaded and displayed using a PC and SYAC™ DigiEye PC Player
software. |
