It "eliminates the time consuming and tedious task of digitizing video footage," the company said.
The battery-powered device is expected to come out during the second half the year and will cost under $300. It will work with almost any USB drive, and also offers time-lapse and remote trigger-based recording, and pre- and post-record functionality, the company said.
