This combination has proved the most popular combination for customers wanting to observe people another room in the same building, when they are aware of when the camera needs switching on and off.

The camera is placed earlier in the day/week/month. When he/she wants to observe and record the scene, then PVR is switched on and the camera can be switched on and off with the remote.

The video/audio is transmitted up to 100 metres outdoors and 10 to 30 metres indoors depending on the construction of the walls – stud walls allow longer distances than brick walls.

The scene in the observed area can then be viewed on the screen of the PVR and all or some of it can be recorded on to the internal SD card for playback later on the PVR or a PC/laptop.

The items required are:
• ZC-Smoke-01 smoke alarm with sensitive and high quality CCD camera
• ZC-PVR-01 Personal Video Recorder with internal 1GB storage card (takes up to 4GB), rechargeable, with 2.5” colour screen and speaker
• ZC-Remote-01 allowing the camera to be switched on and off

The standby battery life of the camera is 6 to 18 months and the life with the camera on is about 16 hours. The battery in the remote control will last for well over a year. The PVR has a rechargeable battery which lasts for 1 to 2 hours.
