Familiar with the hardware keylogger concept? Why not take this to the next level and log entire screenshots instead of only keystrokes? That's precisely what this tiny hardware video-logger does: silently records screenshots and stores them as JPEGs to an internal 2GB flash disk. Simply connect the video-logger to the computers DVI, VGA, or HDMI port, and it will automatically take a snapshot every few seconds. To view the recorded images, simply switch the device to flash drive mode, and it'll pop-up as a removable disk containing recorded JPEGs. This tiny patent-pending frame-grabber is the first of its kind available on the market!

How does it work?

The Video logger is an innovative tiny frame-grabber, hidden inside a standard video cable. It may capture the video signal of a computer or laptop. The built-in powerful FPGA chip and microprocessor enable it to convert the captured video signal to a JPEG image, and store it to the internal 2 Gigabyte flash drive. The Video logger is a purely electronic device, meaning it requires no software or drivers, and does not interfere with the standard video transmission to the monitor or TV.

Getting the device running is very simple: just plug the video-logger in-between the video output socket and monitor or TV. Then connect the USB cable to a free USB socket (this is for powering the device only).

How do I view the recorded screenshots?

Retrieving screenshots is very similar to using a digital camera. Use the personal USB key, delivered with the device, and connect it to a computers USB port. The video-logger will pop-up as a removable drive, containing captured screenshots as JPEG files. The files will contain embedded time and date information.

Which version do I need?

This depends on the output video interface of the device you would like to monitor. This may be DVI (white rectangular socket), VGA (old-style 15-pin blue socket), or HDMI (small black/gray socket).
