Main Features
Unlike other in-car recording systems, the Drive Recorder is used to record both
video and audio data in a continuous loop fashion. If the vehicle is involved in
an accident such as a collision, impact, and sudden acceleration-related
incident, this data is marked and stored. One may thereafter analyze the data
to find its root cause by playing back the scenes of interest and where
acceleration, vehicle speed, direction, and location are available for review.
Added to the recording are vehicle speed and direction and GPS location.
Continuous recording
The video and audio data from the front and interior views is continuously
recorded while power on. When the capacity of the SD card has been
reached, the oldest files are overwritten by the latest ones in a “round-robin”,
first in, first out fashion.
Pre and post event recording
When impact or unusual acceleration or deceleration is detected by the built-in
G-Sensor and has exceeded the preset limit or one activates the manual
emergency record button, the recorded video data is locked-in and is erased
only by an authorized party and by using a PC or laptop, accessing the SD card.
Event data records 1 minute before and 1 minute after(Note: The User may set
the pre-event time to either 1 minute, 2 minutes or 3 minutes of pre-event
recording). The next time the SD card is read by the unit, the unit’s set up
parameters will be uploaded into the recorder. As previously mentioned, stored
event recording data in the SD card will not be erased by the unit, and where
this must be done manually by the user.
Night view recording with Infra-Red Light
The included IR (Infra-Red) Light module with adjustment used this invisible light
source to assist in recording nighttime views from the interior facing camera.
Playback of video/audio data
The recorded data can be played back using the provided playback software
which resides on the SD card. By removing the SD card and accessing the
Player folder and double clicking on the “Player.exe” line starts the playback
software.
Data analysis
The recorded data can be easily analyzed for speed, vehicle location and
direction of travel including impact by using the Player that is found on
conveniently on the supplied SD card.
