Adaptive Digital Systems manufactures and is the only distributor of wearable covert surveillance equipment that is compatible with our existing fleet of digital video recorders. This purchase is for items that will only function with our Nano-Raven recorders which is manufactured and sold only by Adaptive Digital Systems.
