Page 3: S M A R T Er
R Main Features Unlike other in‐car recording systems, your 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. Interior video helps a company enforce existing cell phone restrictions and policies. Exterior video provides protection where the driver is not at fault. 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 3 axis G‐Sensor and has exceeded the preset limit or the external emergency record button is pushed‐‐‐‐the recorded video data is locked‐in and is erased only by an authorized party and by using a PC or laptop, accessing that camera’s SD card. Event data records 1 minute before and 1 minute after it is triggered. (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. 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 camera facing the driver and passenger. 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 .
