Overview
Congratulations on your purchase of the OutbackCam - Outdoor Motion
Camera from Swann! A terrific short-to-medium-term surveillance solution, the
OutbackCam can be used for as many purposes as you can imagine, and then
some more that you probably can’t!
Waterproof
A high-quality hard plastic case with an inner seal provides the OutbackCam with
a high degree of waterproofing. Thus, you can deploy it just about anywhere with
ample confidence that it will survive almost any weather conditions it’s subjected
to. By the way, when we say “waterproof” we mean it’ll be fine if exposed to rain
or mist - we don’t mean that it’ll actually work underwater - the added pressure of
being submerged could damage the fragile lens or the PIR sensor.
Passive Infrared (PIR) Sensor
PIR sensors are popular in home security systems, and are the same technology
used in sensor lights (the type which automatically turn on when you come home
in the evenings). Basically, this lets the OutbackCam be practically autonomous - it’ll
detect anything moving about that is a different temperature to it’s environment. It
makes the OutbackCam a truly fire-and-forget solution to monitoring!
Active Infrared Night Vision
Something happening in the dark that you need to know about? Well, worry not!
With 15 infrared LEDs mounted in the front of the OutbackCam, it can see up to
32ft/10m in the dark!
Exceptional Battery Life
By using an ultra energy efficient design, the OutbackCam can provide weeks
or months of autonomous operation at a time. Of course, the actual battery life
depends on what kind of batteries you use (specifically their mAh or milliamperehour rating, which is a measurement of how much energy the batteries contain)
and how often the unit is capturing photographs/video. More about this later.
Multiple Recording Modes
Many units which claim to operate in a similar manner to the OutbackCam only
offer still image recording. The OutbackCam also features video recording, boasting
an impressive resolution of 640 x 480.
SD Card Recording
Forget annoying tapes or limited built-in memory. The OutbackCam uses SD card
recording technology - giving you the flexibility of using any amount of storage
you want up to a massive 32GB!
