The Snooper DVR-3HD is a full 1080p HD in-car camera for recording incidents in the road ahead that also doubles as a GPS speed camera detector.

You can also view recordings and playback video on the built-in 2.4-inch LCD colour screen. The built-in lens is 3 megapixels providing great quality videos and the angle of the camera-view is 130 degrees meaning you will get a great video-viewing-angle.

In-car camera

The Snooper DVR 3HD records with a wide-angle capturing events in the road ahead. It can record in full HD 1080P (1920 x 1080 @30fps) or optionally at 720P (1280x720) to offer longer recording times. The Snooper DVR 3HD also has a 2.4 inch screen so you can playback videos on the screen at any time. You can optionally set the Snooper in-car camera to automatically start recording when the car engine is turned on and turn off when you turn your engine off.

There are 4 recording modes:

‣ Continuous recording - continually records and overwrites old videos when recording capacity is reached. You can choose to protect videos from being overwritten.

‣ Emergency recording - when recording in continuous recording mode usually videos are overwritten when the memory card is full but you can protect recorded files using the emergency recording mode. When you select emergency recording mode these videos will not be overwritten. You can save up to 10 emergency videos on an 8GB memory card. You can set the emergency video recording for either 3 minutes or 5 minutes.

‣ Collision detection - The DVR 3HD has a built-in G-sensor so that it can detect collisions from 3 separate directions. When a collision/impact is detected the in-car camera automatically starts recording in emergency mode meaning the video will not be erased when continuous recording is in progress. You can set the collision video recording for either 3 minutes or 5 minutes.

‣ Motion detection when parked means you can start recording when motion is detected so you will be able to record events whilst your vehicle is parked. You can set the motion detection recording for either 3 minutes or 5 minutes.

FREE speed camera alerts

The Snooper DVR-3HD includes a built-in speed camera detector that will warn you via GPS to "fixed" and "mobile" speed camera locations via the Snooper AURA database. When in speed camera mode the DVR 3HD will display your vehicles speed and when you approach a speed camera location the screen will change to tell you which type of camera is in the road ahead. The unit will also beep when approaching speed cameras. The speed camera alerts can be turned off. You can also set a speed limit alert whereby when you drive over a pre-set speed you receive a warning.

Built-in microphone

The Snooper video camera has a built-in microphone for recording sound/voice within your vehicle so you can provide a commentary or make voice notes or record the sound resulting from collisions, etc.

Playback recorded video

You can playback video recorded on the Snooper DVR on the device itself, on a computer or on a TV. When watching videos on your computer you can also see your routes on Google Maps, speed, compass heading and more.

The Snooper car camera will work with NTSC and PAL TV types.

You should use class 6 memory card of at least 8GB capacity. Maximum capacity cards that can be used should be no more than 32GB.
