FlashBack-2 Quad Pod

Based on the highly successful micro-FourSight the FlashBack-2 Quad-Pod is an ultra compact video quad, specifically designed to integrate with the FlashBack-2 range of rugged and covert DVRs.

Unlike most quads, the FlashBack-2 Quad-Pod is very compact, lightweight and power efficient. The Quad-Pod’s advanced digital video processing provides full control of each picture’s size and position together with picture cropping and overlay.

FlashBack-2 Quad Pod

For ease of use the system includes 16 pre-set display modes, which can be reconfigured via its USB / RS232 control ports and optional PC configuration utility. Quad-Pod provides excellent picture quality coupled with real-time update rate per channel. Camera ident plus date and time are shown onscreen, which again are fully configurable via the control ports. The FlashBack-2 Quad-Pod will operate with almost any composite video source, automatically configuring itself for PAL or NTSC operation.

The FlashBack-2 DVR can be plugged directly into the unit without any additional wiring. Three extra video inputs are provided (with switched camera power) along with a video monitor output to help set-up the unit.
