5.2 AI-Triple Noise Reduction and Voice Activated Recording (AVR)
The recorder utilizes AI intelligence and a triple noise reduction system with a DSP chip to filter out background noise, ensuring clearer sound quality. It supports Voice Activated Recording (AVR), which automatically starts recording when sound is detected (e.g., above 40dB) and pauses when sound stops, optimizing storage space.
