SPYTEC Z12 INTELLIGENT SECURITY

CAMCORDER USER GUIDE

Thank you for choosing the SpyTec Z12 Intelligent Security Camcorder. The soap-
bar-size video camera weighs only 1.6 ounces and is easily hidden. The multi-trigger,
time-programmed recording device captures video at one of two resolutions and
can be set for loop recording. Recordings can be triggered automatically by motion,
vibration or voice, and videos are date-time stamped. The camera’s microSD slot
accommodates a card containing up to 200GB of memory. With a vibration standby
time of up to 90 days and the capability to power recordings for up to 8 hours from its
internal battery, the camera is extremely flexible to place and operate. It can also be
powered indefinitely from its included AC or car adapters.
