The VIO POV.T is a point of view camera system designed specifically for use within the tactical market. This now comes standard with a time/date stamp. It also includes all the relevant mounts and accessories to make this the perfect all around kit for the police force, military, fire brigade and any other tactical users.
The POV.T Action Camera is a fully integrated point-of-view (POV) video
system that's waterproof, dustproof and shock-resistant. The system
includes a mountable camera head, built-in video recorder, wireless
remote, mounts, 4Gb SD Card and software for managing your
point-of-view videos.
The POV.T can be used in every tactical market. It has adaptable
mounts included that allow you to mount the camera head to almost
anything that you can think of. Since it is waterproofed you can take it through rivers and rain storms without having to be concerned about the camera. The recorder can be taken 1m underwater and the
camera head can go down to 10m (there is a waterproof pouch available as an accessory so that the recorder can be waterproofed to 3m).
Filming is made very easy with the wireless remote which works up to 3
meters without needed line of sight. Once the camera is set up then the remote
is all you need to operate it. The POV.T was designed to work with a 8Gb SD card and this will give you 6hrs+
when recording at 720 x 480 which is the highest resolution and is
close to DVD quality.
To download the footage from the POV.T you can insert the SD card into
your computer or simply connect the POV.T directly to your computer
with the supplied USB cable.
Action Cameras is VIO's European
Partner and Master Distributor for the entire EU. Not only does this
mean that we are the experts in this field but also that every single
POV camera available in the UK and Europe has been sourced from us.
* Full waterproofing allows you to use the POV.T in almost any conditions.
* The Wireless Remote Control
is a terrific advantage when compared to other cameras available on the
market. This works with Infra-Red Technology so that it doesn't need
"line-of-sight" to operate.
* A range of adaptable mounts
for mounting the camera head to just about anything. There is a C-Clamp
that holds the camera tightly in place and the clamp is attached to one
of two mount attachments; the first is a base plate which has holes for velcro strapping or cable ties, there are adhesive pads that you can
use to stick it onto a flat surface, and there is also a 8mm thread so
that it can be screwed onto any standard camera tripod or other mount
with an 8mm thread. The second mount attachment is a pole mount that allows the camera to be mounted to any pole for looking around dangerous corners or for mounting to gun barrels.
* The POV.T records onto SD
card, up to 8Gb which will give you over 6hrs when
recording at 720 x 480 which is the highest resolution and this is
close to DVD quality.
* The video editing software included lets you cut, mix, set and upload videos very easily.
*
The menu on the unit is very user friendly and allows you to customise
the sound levels, the picture quality and all other settings very
simply.
The POV.T records in 2 modes, LOOP or CLIP. In LOOP mode,
the user TAGs and saves key video segments. In CLIP mode, video is
continuously recorded as in traditional video recording. Recording,
playback and set-up are controlled by buttons on the POV.1 Recorder.
