MIDLAND H5: FIRST OF NEW GENERATION OF ACTION CAMERAS

Recently Midland introduced the first model of a new generation of action cameras. The new H5 looks more like a GoPro, the leader in the market of action cameras.

1Midland H5 Camera with yellow cover, also a black cover is included
in the standard packing.

After the multi-year experience in this sector with the XTC models designed with a longitudinal shape, Midland presents the brand new H line, characterized by a frontal form factor, that completes the range of action cameras and covers all possible uses, such as the requirements of sportsmen or enthusiast of outdoor activities.

H5 offers a lot for very little! Its small dimensions and its ease of use make H5 the perfect solution for your leisure time or a daily use.

Its form factor allows it to be easily worn for example on your chest.
Midland H5 guarantees high performances: Full HD 30fps with a sensor able to take top quality pictures up to 12MP; the built-in Wi-Fi allows to watch and share your photos and videos, thanks to the dedicated APP iSmart DV, compatible with iOS or Android.

2The integrated 1.5 inch LCD display allows to frame or watch your videos and photos without the need of a smartphone or tablet.

The H5 is fitted with many innovative functions: self-timer (you can select the time delay to shoot a photo), Time-lapse, photo burst (to take 3/5/10 photos per second), Motion detection (the camera automatically starts recording when a movement is detected).

Besides, H5 continuously records and when the card is full, it records over the oldest videos; it is also equipped with the Slow Motion mode to watch the videos in rallenty.

H5 is supplied in a full optional packaging including 20 accessories to combine and create the best mounting solution for your requirements.

But the look was different from action camera market leader GoPro. I think that is why Midland is starting with this new look but still the better quality supplied.

The Midland H5 is available from stock at Avera-Distributing.

FULL HD DASHCAM / CAR CAMCORDER

In the recent blog about the Hong Kong Electronics Fair I already mentioned the introduction of two new dashcams/car camcorders by Midland.

There are two versions available:
Street Guardian
Street Guardian GPS

For full details you can read the ‘factory introduction’ as supplied by Midland. Both models are available now from stock.

The ‘Street Guardian’ series includes the brand new Car Camcorders with Full HD resolution developed to be a further ‘eye’ on the road while driving.
Street Guardian automatically records whatever happens while you are driving, very useful indeed in case of accidents. It is like having a witness always seating next to your seat.

Thanks to the viewing angle of 140°, Street Guardian records everything that happens in front of you; the image stabilizer ensures excellent movies.
Street Guardian has many features, amongst which we highlight:

‘Black Box’ feature: you can automatically save and store the videos in case of accident.
‘Motion detection’ feature: The camera starts recording when something is moving in front of it: don’t worry if you are temporarily away from your car, Street Guardian will still be there for you.

It can be easily installed on the windshield of your car thanks to the suction cup supplied in the box and thanks to its compact size it does not affect your driving and the view. It weights only 80 gr!

Thanks to the 2 inches display, you can see everything live, watch the recorded videos and easily surf through the settings.
Street Guardian GPS does also have a GPS receiver which indicates the exact position where you are and will be with you for the rest of your journey.

Street Guardian has an inbuilt USB socket which will allow you to download your videos on your laptop, or simply to recharge the battery.
Works with micro SD Card (optional) up to 32Gb.
