Operation
The camera scans the environment continuously
and depending on the active mode, switches
either to a night vision mode, day vision mode,
begins or stops recording.
The camera features six infrared LEDs (2). As a
result it is possible to perform recordings in dark
environments (night vision). Recordings with
night vision are performed in black/white and are
possible up to a distance of 5-8 meters. If there
is sufficient light available, the recordings are
performed in colour.

should not be less than 8 GB.
