Top 5 Reasons to Buy

Fast & Hassle-Free Setup

This system is extremely user-friendly and you can have it up and running in a matter of minutes because everything is truly plug and play. Auto-start recording ensures that the PI1000 automatically begins recording video when it is powered on and resumes recording after any power loss.

Completely Wire Free Monitoring
You have the option of powering the camera with AA batteries for wireless use. Get up to 17 hours of use in standby mode or 12 hours when continuously recording (lithium batteries recommended and not included). An AC power adapter is also included for long-term use.

45 Days of Recording with Included 2GB SD Card
Capture high quality digital video and record directly onto the included 2GB SD card. The PI1000 is also SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) compatible up to 32GB (not included), offering up to almost 2 full years of continuous recording.

Easily Review and Transfer Your Video
The PI1000 offers a live-view mode. You can view video footage by connecting to your TV, or remove the SD card to view or archive all recorded video on your computer. This is also useful for submitting to law enforcement or security professionals if your video footage is needed.

Advanced Motion Activated Recording
The camera can sense movement so you will know when something suspicious occurs. You also have the option to record video only when motion is detected, which conserves SD card space.

More Features

High Quality MPEG-4 Video Compression
The PI1000 records to the included SD card in MPEG-4 compressed video. This allows for hours of recording without any sacrifice in quality, and in a format common to most computers. This makes reviewing, backing up, and archiving on your PC very easy.

24/7 Scheduled Recording to Meet Your Needs
Set up your preferred scheduled recording time throughout a 24 hour day. This gives you the ability to continuously record when your employees count cash and close your business, and then record only when motion is detected after the building is closed and locked for the evening.

Find Your Video Footage Easily with Time, Date, and Event Search
Simply choose the desired date and time range, and the requested video clips will appear. Clips are also labeled by event, which makes it easy to find footage that was captured by motion detection.

24/7 Lifetime Live Customer Support

Alternatively, you can watch it directly from the unit by connecting it to a TV/monitor with the included RCA cable. This portable DVR can be plugged into a wall outlet, but is also battery operable which allows you to place it virtually anywhere.The PI1000 has the option to record whenever motion is detected. This will save you time and ensure that only important footage is recorded. Scheduled recording allows you to choose which hours of the day the DVR will record. You can find your recorded footage quickly by searching by time and date. This device is compatible with regular and high capacity SD cards up to 32GB.

SVAT PI1000 May 6, 2008
By Rob
Covert MPEG4 DVR - Recording System with Built-in Color Pinhole Surveillance Camera Hidden in a Motion Sensor

This is a supper covert motion sensor little camera. Lots of modes, qualities and sensitivity to choose from in the menu. Stand alone with batteries or use supplied 12v adapter. I called Support to ask a couple of questions and the guy was unrushed and pleasant. You can paint or camouflage all but the lens, so concealment will be easy. The motion sensor is through the pinhole lens at the bottom. Plays on your TV or load to computer with card reader. The picture quality is very acceptable and in color. I'm tempted to spring for another one. Keep an eye on your vehicle or campsite while your off having fun.

This video recording does not work well when I put it in continuous mode.
I wanted it to record over the beginning when memory is filled.
What happened is it will record and play back properly untill the memory is filled up. After that the screen goes blank (black) every other second. This makes it very hard to view the video. It may miss some action when you need it. It is ashamed such a good product with a bad bug.

SVAT PI1000 Covert MPEG4 DVR December 19, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase
SVAT Electronics Covert MPEG4 DVR With Built-In Color Pinhole Camera in PIR Sensor This Camera was easy to set up and takes just seconds however but you need a TV with digital hold in order to set it up. Which is easy if you have a TV less than 10 yrs old. I bought an old TV to try to monitor and set up several SVAT systems but it didn't work. As soon as I hooked it up to a newer TV it worked perfectly an was set up in seconds.

Does not work as stated
This was a pain to set up. The directions were useless. Unless you are going to plug this in I would not even bother because the motion sensor doesn't work properly. Read more

No night motion detection at all
This takes crystal clear images in the daylight. At night the sensor can't detect something 1 inch in front of it even with the sensor turned all the way up.

Good so Far
Equipment seems to work just fine, easy to set up. Very difficult to plug in and hide (size and color and short power cord). Picture very good, options for set up very good. Read more

Works Great
The product was easy to set up and worked as advertised. Video quality was much better than I anticipated. I would recommend this hidden camera.

Poor camera
I have this camera plugged in on a shelf about 3 feet high facing the front door and living room area. It needs very bright light to be able to see anything. Read more

The Unit Works ok, but the picture quality in low light is poor...otherwise it works pretty good

Low quality video
Even if you set the video quality to high-res, the images are so poor that you could not recognize enough facial features to identify an intruder in your house. Read more

Great product to catch wrongdoers!
At first I debated this product due to mixed reviews, but knew I had to at least try it. The installation is not difficult at all. Read more
