In Car CCTV Camera to record through your vehicles windows whilst your car is parked at home or at work

It's imperative that any in car security camera has decent battery life, can capture good quality low light video footage through windows at night, has motion activated recording and is reasonably small and covert.  The Z83H (upgrade on the popular Z82 model) in car security camera ticks all of those boxes and is very easy to use too.  All recorded HD video footage will be time and date stamped for evidential purposes.  Set up of this black box camera is very easy.

It's completely wireless with no cabling or installation required at all.  It's a small black box spy camera, surveillance system.  Perfect for moving from location to location, or vehicle to vehicle, as and when required.

Low Light Recording without Infrared

The Z83H in car security camera has solved the problem of recording through glass at night.  Most security cameras use infrared to capture low light or night time footage.  But using infrared through a window is not possible due to the reflection problems, which will ruin your video footage.  So you need a high quality low light sensor, which the Z83H has!  It does also have the option to switch infrared on if you were using it in a different scenario, not recording through glass.

Long Battery Life

The Z83H can record up to 9 hours continuous video and audio.  With the motion activated recording setting in use, this can equate to up to a month of battery life (dependent upon settings used).  Really, with most in car security cameras, you need the system to last a day or night as you are likely to know by then whether there is any footage you are going to need to see.  This camera comfortably covers you for that sort of time period.

The built in battery is not inter-changeable but can be easily recharged via any USB port on your computer or power bank.  A connection cable is supplied for this.

Do I need to buy anything else with the camera?

Yes, you will need a micro SD card for your Z82 in car camera.  It can take up to 256G in capacity.

Micro SD cards are available from us here if you don't already have a suitable one and must be Class 10, furthermore your card will need to be formatted in the FAT32 format before use with this covert surveillance system.

A rough guide to how much memory card capacity will be used, for each of the 3 recording resolution settings, options is as follows:

• High Quality 3G per hour
• Medium Quality 2G per hour
• Low Quality 1.5G per hour

Please note, the figures above are an approximate guide only.

Easy Set Up

Setting up your Z83H is very simple.  Simply download the camera set up program (Windows & Mac options) to your laptop or desktop computer.  Open the program and connect the camera to your computer, using the cable supplied.  You could just charge the internal battery and switch the camera on, you will just be using the default setttings and the time/date on your recorded clips will not be correct.

The menu system within the program is very self explanatory and from here you can upload your settings to the camera at the click of a button.  Synchronise the camera time and date to that of your computers and all of your recorded video footage will then have the correct information showing.  This can be very useful if you capture video evidence that needs to be shown to the police at any point.

Audio recording can be enabled or disabled and you'll also use the set up program to switch motion detection recording on and off too.

I don't have access to a computer, is it possible to set up using my mobile phone?

Yes, it is possible to set up the Z83H car camera using your mobile phone but only if your handset is very close to the camera as it's a P2P link, so around 3m max.  All instructions are supplied with the camera.  The Cam Widget app is compatible with both Apple and Android devices.

Does this camera system need WiFi?

No, it does not need any WiFi connection or to be within range of your router.  It's a completely cable-free, standalone camera system.

Where could I put this camera?

Inside your car, the obvious spots are on the dash or parcel shelf.  You can then angle the camera to cover the approach areas you think are most important.  Customers also often wedge the camera between a front seat and its' head rest, again you can then angle it accordingly.

The Z83H can also be used to view from one car to another, so you'd then be surveilling the second vehicle.  Or, you may wish to put the camera inside a car to covertly cover your front door area or another part of your property.

It can also be used inside your home, looking out through a window.  This would allow you to to cover another part of your front door area, porch or driveway perhaps.  In this way, the Z83H surveillance system can be a covert home surveillance option if you do not want to mount security cameras on your building.

Multi-use surveillance camera...

As it's small, light and portable you can use the Z83H for so many different surveillance applications.  Just put it wherever you need it!
