LawMate PV-RC400UW 4K UHD Key-Fob

The PV-RC400UW camera is the 6^th generation device from LawMate introducing exceptional 4K Ultra HD video quality with the added benefit of P2P Wi-Fi connectivity. Once connected to a smart device, the LawMate app provides full setting control and live view allowing for real-time adjustments. The PV-RC400UW camera system is also fitted with a vibration feedback system providing silent and tactile cues for each mode change ensuring complete discretion during operation.

Discretely designed, you can put the RC400UW key fob on your own key ring and never worry about it being detected. At the touch of a button the camera will start up and be ready to record video in a couple of seconds. This key fob DVR covert camera will vibrate quickly to let you know what it is doing (this feature is switchable). Video is captured on to the supplied 128gb Micro SD card which will hold around 4+ hours of video (@ UHD resolution) and many stills photos. MicroSD cards can be used up to 256gb in size.

Unlike many other devices we have seen, the PV-RC400UW records at up to 3840×2160 4K UHD resolution (at 25/30fps) providing ultra clear and smooth video as well as excellent sound quality. Using the Wi-Fi app, you can also select 1080p or 720p resolutions at up to 120fps. As with all LawMate covert recording devices, the video can be watermarked with a time and date stamp for evidential grade recordings. To watch the video you have recorded or view the photos you have taken, you can simply connect the RC400UW to any computer using the supplied USB-C cable. The device will act as a mass storage device (card reader) allowing you to play and watch your videos. You can also review captured footage using the LawMate smart app software via a Wi-Fi connection (Android or iOS).

The benefit of Wi-Fi:

With the ability of Wi-Fi connectivity, you can instantly review the footage you have captured on a smartphone or tablet and you can live-stream the video content up to a distance of 5 metres. The Wi-Fi connectivity permits the user to download the captured content wirelessly. The Wi-Fi application also allows full control over the device, including resolution settings (4K/2.7K/1080p/720p), the ability to set and synchronise the time and date with your smart device, format the SD card and start/stop recording. Once the device is set-up, you can also ‘hide the SSID’ so no one else can find your RC400UW key fob wirelessly.

New for 2024

It goes without saying, 4K video technology is extremely detailed and high-quality when it comes to the final results. 4K means more resolution, more clarity and more editing options when it comes to post-production.

Is it better to shoot in 4k video or 1080p

From what we know about current display resolutions and the human eye, shooting 1080p will be fine for most applications. Past that, production quality is more important than resolution, but shooting in 4K will definitely give your projects more appeal on larger displays or projectors.

Is 4K really that much better than HD?

More advanced screens with 4K HDR meet these standards and have a typical resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, around four times than the traditional HD amount. Basically, 4K devices provide four times the normal pixels, improving the picture and screen quality.

Can the human eye see the difference between 1080p and 4K?

The human eye’s ability to discern the difference between 1080p and 4K largely depends on viewing distance and screen size you are viewing on. In certain situations, especially on larger screens or when sitting closer to the display, the eye can certainly perceive a difference, with 4K delivering a clearer, more detailed picture to the eye.

4K looks better

Leaving quality aside, 4K just looks better as it reduces the chance of colour banding. So your set colours will be captured in far more detail compared to 1080p resolution. Even the smallest of gradual colour changes will be captured almost as good as how you would see it in person. Skies won’t just look blue anymore, but rather a majestic spectrum of blue shades.
