Introduction
The PixController UndercoverEye™ Trekker LANC is a complete all-in-one groundhog video
surveillance recording system. Simply turn the internal power switch to the “on” position, close the
case, and wait the 1.5 minute motion control warm up time and the UndercoverEye™ Trekker
LANC will be ready for motion event video recording. The unit is powered by a rechargeable 12V
Li-Ion 4.5 AH battery, which under normal use can last up to 3 weeks of unattended use.
The UndercoverEye™ Trekker LANC system box can be buried into the ground for the ultimate
covert setup. Simply make sure the RF antenna is above the ground and has good line of sight to
the wireless sensors. You may use a SMA Cable extender to position the RF antenna higher if
needed. Note, you will need to supply a waterproof case for the camcorder for outdoor setups.
We suggest a Pelican case, see www.pelican.com for more information.
The UndercoverEye™ Trekker LANC is not limited to “groundhog” type setups. Because of its
small size it can be used for indoor or in-vehicle applications for covert recording operations. The
UndercoverEye™ Trekker LANC can be hidden in a false ceiling, desk drawer, or in a car trunk.
Sound can also be recorded with your UndercoverEye™ Trekker LANC which is a very important
feature. However, in situations where sound recording is not permitted you can simply unplug the
sound MIC cable from the UndercoverEye™ Trekker LANC unit.
The UndercoverEye™ Trekker LANC can accept any 12V NTSC/PAL video camera. The system
is sold with a waterproof day color/nigh IR bullet camera, but any video camera such as board
cameras, pinhole cameras, or wireless video cameras can be used.
The UndercoverEye™ Trekker LANC included one wireless PIR motion sensors which can cover
a wide sensing area. If you are recording a trail area for example simply place one PIR sensor up
the trail and one down the trail, and one in the center where UndercoverEye’s video camera is
placed. In this scenario you can pre-trigger the UndercoverEye’s recording system before the
subject walks into the video camera range.
