PV-RC200HDW Keyfob DVR Feature Focus:
Remote device set-up
In the past, it was fairly difficult especially for a less experienced user to set up firmware or change the time/date stamp on a Mini DVR that does not have an LCD screen with a user interface due to its covert design. (such as key fobs/cell phone extended battery/pens etc.)
Now with the Wi-Fi connection and app interface, it is very easy to update the firmware, modify/synchronize the time/date stamp or remove the time/date stamp altogether.
Automatic OFF mode
Once the SD card is removed from the device, PV-RC200HDW same as other 2016-year Wi-Fi releases of Lawmate products cannot get turned ON. This feature prevents accidental battery drainage which can happen easily if the PV-RC200HDW covert recorder is carried inside a pocket like a regular key fob.
