Item# 7527MC
Free shipping on orders over $200 details

Overview

  • Records and stores events on a removable memory card
  • It's like getting a VCR with external video motion detection, an external PIR and CCD camera in one
  • Works with easily-found MMC-type memory cards for up to 64MB of storage

Essential Info

Event recording has never been easier than with the MemoCam Plus, a compact, palm-size black & white CCTV system that records and stores events on a removable memory card when triggered by motion or an alarm system output. Because the memory card is removable, the MemoCam Plus is perfect for alarm-based event recording in locations where running video cable is difficult or impossible due to physical constraints. Recorded events are easily analyzed by simply removing the memory card from the unit and inserting it into a Memory Card Reader (sold separately) connected to a PC.

Flexible Recording Triggers
The MemoCam Plus recording feature can be activated by any of three methods. For example, you can use its integrated VMD (Video Motion Detection) feature to detect motion within specific areas of interest within the picture frame. It can also be triggered by the standard, heat-based PIR motion sensor integrated into the main unit. It even offers three dry contact inputs for external triggers, like door/window contacts, glassbreak sensors, etc. Recording can be activated by any one of the above methods, or a combination of them to increase reliability and reduce false alarms. In addition, you can use the included remote control to arm or disarm the event recording process, or to record events manually.

    Popular Applications
    Because of its flexibility, the MemoCam Plus can be used in many applications. At home, the MemoCam Plus can be used for nanny monitoring, visitor and intruder identification, or even as a video door phone with recording capability. Or use the MemoCam Plus at the office for entrance/exit recording, trespass verification in confidential locations, or recording of after-hours activity. It's also an ideal loss prevention system for retail locations or stock rooms.

    Two Recording Modes
    The MemoCam Plus offers two recording modes. The first is Fixed Mode, which records events until the memory card is full. The second recording mode is Cyclic Mode, which records events successively, overriding old data when the memory card is full.

    Expandable With Additional Cameras
    The MemoCam Plus has the flexibility of being expanded with up any two external surveillance cameras, including the D-Cam 500. This feature is ideal for converting the unit into a multiple camera CCTV System.

    Other features include:
    • A video output that allows you to view live video from a selected camera when connected to a CCTV monitor. This feature simplifies the camera adjustment process and provides additional monitoring capability.
    • A built-in weekly scheduler that allows you to automatically arm/disarm the system at predefined times and days.
    • Simple automatic setup on the memory card defines the: image quality mode, camera visual parameters, frame rate and number of frames per event.
    • Image integrity where each image is digitally signed and can be authenticated.
    • A fully functional PIR that can be connected to an external control panel.
    • Three color-coded LEDs indicate the status of the MemoCam Plus.

    The MemoCam Plus includes a 16MB MMC-type memory card (upgradeable to 64MB, which stores 10,000 black & white images) and a palm-sized remote for arming/disarming the event recording process or to record events manually. To review the camera images, you'll also need any standard MMC-type memory card reader, like the Flash Card Reader/Writer (#7527MCR, sold separately), which connects to a PC's USB port and acts an external hard drive that you can use to drag and drop images to and from the memory card.

    The MemoCam is also available in color.

    Note: To use this product you must have a Multi-Media Card reader. If you do not already have one, 7527MCR will be required.

    Reviews

    "The memoCam does basically what it says it does. If you are looking for an all-in-one package, there are not many choices out there, so this is the best of the bunch. Pros: 1) It's all-in-one. It's got the motion sensor, the camera, and the recorder in one package. 2) You can upgrade the memory, up to 1Gig of memory on an SD card. 3) Motion activated, so you only record what you want. 4) I got the Low-Light model, and it RULES! It can record stuff in a room, that is almost total darkness. .003 Lux. 5) Comes with a software, so you can program all the stuff you want on it. You plug in the SD card to your computer, and then you can set the fps (up to 10), the quality, how it gets activated, if you only want it to go on at certain times of the day, etc. 6) a remote for turning it on, and off. Cons: 1) The motion sensor is slow. It has a delay of about 2 seconds. I guess it's like any digital camera, but it does get a little frustrating. All someone has to do is move quickly through the recording zone, and they are not filmed. 2) The recorder works on EVENTS. When the motion sensor is tripped, and the camera starts filming, it's called an event. I have it set so it records 36 frames after an event has been triggered. I want Zero down time between events. That means, I want it to keep recording as long as there is motion, then after all the motion stops, record 36 frames. It will not do this. It will sense an event, then record 36 frames, then shut off. Wait for another event (it will have the 2 second delay), then start recording the next event. So your events have these 2 second gaps in them. 3) The software is a bit buggy. I set the name of my camera, to KITCHEN-1, but it never shows up like that on film. It will always have the default name burned into the top right. CW-BWBDD etc. 4) I set the time, the first time I used it. now it will never let me reset the time. So the time stamp is useless, unless you want to know how much time is between events. I'll stop the camera at 5:00PM, and upload the images. It will say 1:13AM CW-BWBDD 5) Playback is very slow, even on Fast. There is no way to dump the images to a movie. I grab the images off the card, and dump them onto a disk, then bring them into iMovie on my Mac (the memoCam software doesn't work on Mac, but iMovie is the quickest way to make a quicktime movie, and see it at speed. 6) Tech support is non existent. I sent them 3 different emails, and they replied to ONE. 7) You ca" - Brian D - California
