Sometimes the most useful and impressive devices are those that combine existing technologies to form an easy-to-use supergadget. This is exactly what has been achieved here with this one-of-a-kind, aptly titled Infrared Flashlight Video Recorder, which takes nighttime surveillance to a new level.
The Infrared Flashlight Video Recorder cleverly combines the body of a solid tactical police flashlight, with a video recording unit capable of capturing 30fps at 640 x 480 resolution. To help with shooting in low-light conditions, the 3-watt cool-white LED main light is encircled by infrared LEDs, which provide a night-vision capability so you don’t miss a thing.
Ideal for security personnel who want to collect a record of events for use as evidence, or even people who are on the hunt to prove the existence of creatures of folklore, this all-in-one device could prove very useful. The recorder will capture everything within its 66-degree field of view, which can be stored on up to 2GB mini-SD memory cards. If you go out prowling and forget your card, there’s 128 Megs built-in that’s good for up to 15-seconds of video or 500 snapshots.
After a hard night of shooting, simply connect the flashlight to your computer via the built-in USB port to download and relive your experiences. There is an LCD indicator on the body also that will communicate battery life and recording format, plus time, date and storage capacities. This 13″ (33cm) long x 3″ (7.6cm) diameter aluminum spy-gadget takes 3 C-size cells and will get you up to 3 hours of use on torch only. This is reduced to 1 hour if recording also.
The Infrared Flashlight Video Recorder is available at Hammacher Schlemmer for $399.95, but should put you ahead by millions once you sell your upcoming Bigfoot footage.
