Bad Wolf Technologies LLC offers a range of HD-SDI Military Video Recorders, available in both commercial and MILSPEC versions. Our military DVRs are qualified to MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-461F standards, ensuring they are rugged enough for both aerial and marine deployments. Our airborne military recorders are trusted by the USAF in the Middle East, while our naval version withstands the relentless pounding of the high seas with the US Navy.

The milspec recorder/DVR chassis is engineered for strength, with both the chassis and top cover milled from a single billet of aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminum alloy—the same material used in the US military’s M4 carbine. Strong? Absolutely.

Additionally, our military video recorders log GPS data with the video. This data can be overlaid onto the video stream, saved in a separate .GPX, .KML, or ASCII file, or both—providing flexibility in data management.
