FEATURES

Designed for recording vehicle journeys and providing evidence in the event of an accident or incident.
 
The unit records from the built in CCTV Camera in high quality 640x480 resolution and in Real Time (25 fps) on to the built in Digital Video Recorder, there is no loss of image quality as the recordings are made digitally.
The camera will operate in light levels down to 1.0 lux, it will record good quality images during the day and night, at night the camera will make use of the vehicles headlights to provide a good quality image. The camera is fitted with a high quality lens. The viewing angle is 170°, this will provide a very wide angle view from A pillar to A pillar in a vehicle.
The camera features a Standard DSP (Digital Signal Processing) chip which optimised for road use and offers the following functions to increase the image sensors performance: Automatic Electronic Iris - This feature automatically adjusts the brightness of the camera image to match the amount of available light.
Automatic White Balance - This feature automatically adjusts the colour temperature of the camera image to match the type of light available, so that white and other colours appear as natural as possible.
The unit is very small and designed to be mounted in the front or rear windscreen of a vehicle or on the dashboard or rear shelf. When mounted on the front windscreen behind the rear view mirror it is almost hidden from view, ensuring that it does not look out of place in any vehicle.
 
The built in 3G shock sensor is designed to both trigger recording in the event of an accident (the unit can be also be set to record continuously if required) and to provide data about the braking force, acceleration force and general quality of driving.
 
The GPS version has a GPS Receiver built in to it, this allows the unit to record the speed, direction of travel and location (which can be reviewed using the free software supplied and Google Earth)
 
Acts like a black box for motorists allowing them to supply evidence in the event of a car accident or other event on the road.
 
Records continuously or when the G-Sensor measures a pre-determined amount of G-force.
 
To ensure that no vital evidence is lost the unit features a buffer which records 15 seconds prior to the G-Sensor being triggered and 5 seconds after, the unit also has a 30 second battery back up so it will always finish recording an event even if the power is disconnected.
 
Supplied with a 2GB SD Card and will operate with compatible cards up to 32GB, allowing a continuous recording time of around 40 hours, when the memory is full the unit will overwrite or alert the user. SD card can be easily removed and will connect to a Windows PC via USB (using the USB SD Card Reader supplied).
 
Smart Witness Analysis Software provided will playback recordings and show the 3g force. Allows searching of the data by time/date, speed, location or amount of G-force. The software is further enhanced with one touch reporting which will show report title, subject, speed, location, map and snapshot image of the accident or incident. The software also allows easy exporting of required video footage as an AVI file which will play in standard media players.
