Swann Security (http://www.swannsecurity.com) has debuted the SportsCam Waterproof Mini Video Camera. The US$99 mini camera/DVR combo is housed in a waterproof case and comes with a myriad of mounting options.
At the core of SportsCam is a color camera that can record 640 x 480 high resolution video or still images. The device stores recordings on a removable MicroSD card (up to 16GB), so users can swap out cards while on the go.
A 16GB MicroSD card will capture approximately five hours of video. SportsCam is powered by a Lithium-ion battery that recharges via USB and gives the user 2.5 hours of life per charge.
Not only is the SportsCam’s case shockproof, but it’s also waterproof up to 65 feet, according to the folks at Swann Security. With no dials, gauges knobs or any preferences to configure, users simply turn it on, strap it on and hit record, they add. Swann’s SportsCam will go on sale next month.
