General Description
The Covert Extreme is a digital infrared surveillance camera, triggered by any
movement of humans or animals monitored by a high sensitive Passive Infrared (PIR)
motion sensor, and then automatically captures high quality pictures (up to 5M
pixels) or records video clips (VGA) according to default settings or preset customer
settings.
It also can be triggered by timer which means the camera can capture pictures
or video clips at specified time intervals regardless of if there is a motion of human
or animals. (This is only for the TLV version if equipped.)
It takes color pictures or videos under sufficient daylight. During the night, the
built-in infrared LEDs function as the flash. The camera then takes clear black and
white pictures or videos (monochrome).
The camera consumes very little power in the surveillance mode. Powered by
Eight new AA alkaline batteries, the camera will stand-by for approximately 6
months. Once a motion by human or animals is detected, the digital camera unit will
automatically take pictures or videos according to previously programmed settings.
The device is designed for outdoor use and is resistant against water and snow.
Furthermore, the camera can be used as a portable digital camera. Pictures or videos
can be taken manually by pressing
on the operation panel.

recording unexpected intrusion to homes, shops, schools, offices, cabins, private

animals by recording the traces of wild animals. It can be left alone for weeks and
months and it will deliver event records automatically in digital format to the SD card.
