Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / listed as a stolen item
Dutch term or phrase: geluid en beeldapp/drager
the above appears on a police report as a stolen item. The rest of the description (of this item presumably) is digitale ontvanger Sony onderwater zilverkleurig.

Explanation:
another option (according to one of my dictionaries). drager is a medium but since it's something that was stolen, imo I'd go with the app. (apparatus) part. I suggest unit or system.

neutral  Natasha Ziada (X): Not sure a about the 'recording' part. It says 'ontvanger' in the description.//prob best in this case (police report) to keep translation as literal as possible

  -> I doubt it's an audiovisual player. (I did get the translation from a reliable dico). So it also has a digital receiver? /literal but English. 100% literal from Nl to En often results in Dunglish. I repeat, this is from a very reliable Nl-En dico.
agree  Maria Danielson: it's probably a camcorder
