For covert operation, the Video TRAKR camera rolls close to
the ground on four wheels that have special stealth treads.
Equipped with an antenna, microphone, adjustable video lens, and
speaker, TRAKR makes it easy to observe your suspects.
While the TRAKR is equipped with stealth treads for easy
mobility, it is not designed for travel through sand, water, or
snow. Avoid puddles and stick to paved or clean surfaces to
ensure lasting operation.

internal processor, SD Card slot, integrated speaker and
microphone (equipping the vehicle to relay audio messages from
afar with the push of a button), and online development kit
