THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING THE CAMSTICK WITH NIGHT VISION

Please read this manual before operating the camstick with night vision and keep it handy.

The CamstickNV looks and functions like an ordinary flash drive. Yet

this storage camstick conceals a DVR capable of recording both audio and quality color video. The flash drive needs no cables or batteries, making perfect for the covert operative on the go. It doesn't need to be plugged in. Recording is as simple as a touch of the button.

This model records 1280*960 resolution video to a MicroSD card that can range from 2GB–128GB. You can choose between continuous recording, taking photographs, and using night vision. The built-in battery can last up to 1.5 hours.
