The pocket-sized RedAlert contains several sophisticated security features that are housed in a sleek, compact, but striking red exterior that measures a mere 3” x 2”.The DVR can be connected to either a wireless or wired security camera, or both at the same time. Once the RedAlert™ detects movement, recording is triggered. The unit can capture either AVI videos (10 seconds each) or JPEG photos via a built-in 16MB memory and an external SD card slot. SD memory cards are sold separately from RadioShack, with a 2GB card able to store up to 28,800 images or 4,380, 10 second AVI videos.

| This product is a poor performer, and tech support admitted as much. Swann should probably save face and recall the lot. The cmos camera's image is so poor you won't recognise your mother at arm's length. Everything interferes at 2.4 GHz. The night vision range is probably about half the claimed 30'. The first unit was happily replaced by the retailer because of a fault - wouldn't register any movement, but the replacement isn't much better. You'll need a TV right next to the base unit to set up and monitor. Save your money and buy a real unit with a CCD camera, wired connection and quality components. You'll get this elsewhere in Swann's range but not with the Red Alert. |
