Video Report and demonstration

A rear mounted thumb pad allows the user to turn on and off the unit, toggle between video and still camera, playback captured video or photos, and trash unwanted material.  A pistol grip trigger either snaps a photo or starts and stops the video recording.

The Digital Blue Night Vision System records video into Windows Media Player format.  Slip out the SD card from the unit and slide it into a computer that is running   XP or Vista and you get instant remarkably clear video and sound.  We were expecting grainy jittery images but what we saw was good, very good.  When using the camera be careful not to pan fast, since it is a digital recording at it is easy to get jerky our motion blur.

Out of the box, the DBS has a range of about 40 feet in total darkness.  We added a high intensity IR LED unit to our DBS test model and got good shots at 70 feet.  The camera lens is set to infinity focal length, so close up items are a bit blurry and distance items seem far smaller. 

We were impressed with the DBS, so much so we bought three.

Anyone who is into paranormal investigation (PI)  knows that PIs use adaptive technology.  Adaptive technology is using a tool for a job that is was not necessity intended.  Take for instance the mainstay of PI the K-2 meter.  The K-2 was designed for electricians to detect live wires and circuits from a safe distance.  A good PI is always on the look out for the next greatest tool.  Perhaps we have one for you!

 

The Digital Blue night vision video and still camera was designed with kids in mind.  It has the excitement of the real night vision technology with a fully functioning video camera. When the lights are out, the Night Vision Video Camera switches automatically from daytime recording to infrared (IR) illumination.  Designed for children over the age of eight, it's safer than night vision goggles because the eyes are never covered up.

 

From our perspective the Digital Blue Night Vision System (DBS) hits all the right notes.  The DBS is lightweight, battery operated, sleek, highly functional with on-board video, photograph,  digital voice recorder, and LED flashlight .  Tweak the IR LEDs, add a 2 GB SD card, and four high-end AA batteries and you have a hand-held system that is good for up to two-hours of recording.  Fully outfitted with batteries and 2GB card the entire unit will come in at $100.00.   Oh, and it has a cool sound when you turn it on!
