Covert HD video and audio in a fully functional vape. NIMBUS gives undercover officers and confidential informants a familiar, natural-looking way to document authorized in-person investigations. The vape remains operational while its concealed camera records 1080p video and audio, with the lens positioned to keep the view clear during normal use.
At a glance: 1080p or 720p recording • audio capture • motion, sound or manual recording • Wi-Fi live view • removable microSD storage • field-swappable 18650 batteries.
Before an operation, personnel can check the camera's view on a compatible iOS or Android phone or tablet over Wi-Fi. Recording can start manually or in response to motion or sound. Vibration cues confirm power and recording status, and a low-battery vibration warns the user approximately five minutes before the camera battery is depleted.
The battery compartment opens without tools for a field swap. The internal video components are concealed with dielectric potting material, helping preserve the appearance of an ordinary vape if the compartment must be accessed during an operation. Afterward, retrieve recordings over the Wi-Fi connection or remove the microSD card. Video is stored as standard AVI files with H.264 video and PCM audio.
