The P-160 Portable 2.4GHz Wireless Receiver/Recorder is a perfect handheld DVD recorder and player that is used with a Mini Spy Camera to record both Video and Audio. It fits in the palm of your hand and is about the same size as a small portable radio. It’s great for portable on-the fly surveillance missions because it be used anywhere with up to 4 Mini Spy Cameras. The caveat is you must select 1 of 4 cameras to record at a time not all 4 cameras at once. You can plant 4 cameras where ever you need to spy on anyone or anything. The Mini Spy Camera can transmit to a range of 600ft if it in line of site directly in the path but expect less due to various factors like wall and ceilings.
While the small manual that comes with the P-DVR explains things pretty well this article will server to instruct the new user on it’s functions and operations in fair detail.
Before you use the Portable Spy Camera DVD Receiver-Recorder you must plug in the power cord charger into the side of the unit and and an AC outlet to charge for around 4 hours.

The P-DVR uses a Secure Digital memory card that is inserted at the top and only fits 1 way so you can’t get it wrong.
The are 2 modes of operation RECORD and PLAYBACK and there is a small switch at the top right labeled R for record and P for play.
