It also allows playback of the recorded video from the SD card directly, allowing a user to show the previous night's observation when cloudy or rainy condition exist at your site.

3D Noise Reduction with up to seven times sampling (averaged stacking) is included. Increase of the exposure time increases the image noise. But the integrated fully adjustable 3D noise reduction function keeps the MallinCam HD-10 image always clean and sharp. The Built-in Mouse control is the significant innovation of the MallinCam HD-10 embedding the application software inside the camera. The user can control the camera with just a mouse. There is no need for a PC.

A series of image-operation buttons on the right side of the screen allows the image to be flipped, rotated or a Region of Interest (ROI) to be selected. This ROI function can provide more image details through the magnification mode. The MallinCam HD-10 embedded software is designed for ease of use. There are only two icons on the software starting screen, one for image capture and the other for the settings menu. It’s as intuitive to use this camera as your smartphone.
