LawMate RC200 HD2(KR) Keyfob Covert Camera
- CCTV Lens Guide
- Hard Drive Size Guide
Unless selecting a vari-focal camera (with an adjustable lens) It is important to select the correct camera lens option for where the camera is to be positioned. A smaller lens will give you a wider angle but will be "zoomed out more", while a bigger lens will narrow the angle down and "zoom in more". See below to give you some idea on angles of Megapixel HD Cameras:
| Lens in mm | Approx Viewing Angle (degrees) | Ideal Distance (metres) | Typical usage/notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.8 | 106 | <6 | For seeing as much of the immediate area as possible such as above a doorway/low down/garage soffits (edges can appear slightly warped/distorted) - clearly "zoomed out" |
| 3.6/4 | 83-90 | <12 | A great general purpose option giving great coverage still in the corner of a room or higher up on second floor soffits with less distortion - more of a natural "zoom" |
| 6 | 56 | 6-20 | Narrows down the angle and zooms in to look past the immediate area a little to gain more detail - down a driveway for example from higher up |
| 12 | 24 | 20+ | Zooms in significantly more to look at a gate, entrance or adjascent building |
| 16 | 19 | 24+ | As above but more so |
The amount of hard drive space you require is dictated by how many cameras, as well as their resolution, frame rate settings, and whether you have H.265 encoding enabled or not to save space (We advise turning it on to double the capacity shown below with ease).
Finally, you can often make your storage space last a lot longer by enabling motion-detected recording rather than continuous, especially if there are long periods of no activity (to perhaps double or more these figures again).

Resolution (Megapixels) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per camera (continuous - full 25 frames per second) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per 4 cameras (continuous - full 25 frames per second) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per 4 cameras (50% motion- 15 frames per second) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 44 | 11 | 36 |
| 2 | 22 | 5 | 18 |
| 3 | 17 | 4 | 14 |
| 4 | 11 | 3 | 9 |
| 5 | 9 | 2 | 8 |
| 6 | 8 | 2 | 6 |
| 8 (4K) | 5 | 1 | 4 |
| 12 | 4 | 0.5 | 3 |
As a rule of thumb, we recommend 2 Terabytes for a 4 x 4/5MP HD camera setup, as this should give you approx 2 weeks using H.265 @ 20fps and that is on continuous, not motion-detected recording.
(You may only require the full 25 frames per second on certain cameras if things are fast-moving - ie above a till)

This is the new LawMate RC200HD2(KR) Camera System, a 1080p high definition key-fob and high quality 5 mega pixel HD sensor.
This is the 4th generation key fob from LawMate offering 1080p high definition capture in addition to 5-megapixel snap-shots and a new Wide Dynamic Range sensor (WDR). This latest edition offers the new ‘classy look’ outer shell providing a high-quality executive feel to one of our best-selling cameras, the RC200HD2.
Inside the key fob DVR is a high-resolution CMOS sensor connected to a digital video recorder.
The really great thing about this device is that you can put it on your own key ring and never worry about it being detected. At the touch of a button, the remote DVR will start up and be ready to record video or take stills photos in just 2 - 3 seconds. This key fob DVR covert camera will vibrate quickly to let you know what it is doing (this feature is switchable).
The video is captured on to the supplied 16gb Micro SD card which will hold around 4 hours of video and several thousand stills photos. Micro SD cards can be used up to 32gb in size.
Unlike a lot of other devices we have seen, the RC200HD2(KR) records at full 1920 x 1080 resolution and at 30fps providing very clear and smooth video as well as excellent sound quality. As with all LawMate covert recording devices, the video is watermarked with a time and date stamp.
To watch the video you have recorded or view the photos you have taken, simply connect the RC200HD2(KR) to any computer using the supplied USB cable. The device will act as a mass storage device (card reader) allowing you to play and watch your videos.
