SafeDrive camera installs in windshield
safedriveprpic
 
Oct. 5, 2009 - The SafeDrive MiniDVRT mobile digital video recorder (MDVR) system installs directly to the windshield and incorporates both a forward-facing road-view camera and a rear-facing cabin-view camera. The SafeDrive MiniDVR records video, audio, and metadata to a removable, high capacity, and economical CompactFlash card, included behind lock and key within each unit.

Video is automatically recorded when a vehicle operator is speeding or driving erratically, when the driver/operator manually presses the eventsave button, or when a crash occurs. Also recorded and tracked are GPS map coordinates, G-force data, vehicle speed, event trends, and audio that can be accessed by SafeDrive MiniDVR software. Serving as a data management portal, SafeDrive MiniDVR software provides advanced and powerful playback, search, and export features. Providing inclusive data control, the mobile surveillance system software offers quantifiable tools for event trends and event location plotted in Google Map views if the computer viewing the video is connected to the Internet.

The compact SafeDrive MiniDVR has an internal battery backup feature that enables recording to continue in instances of sudden power loss, for example, vehicle battery ejection or destruction during a crash. The
in-vehicle video system can be installed easily and permanently to a windshield with an included bracket, or for temporary use with an optional high-vacuum suction cup and quick-detach power cord. Other features include infrared illuminators for low-light recording in the vehicle cabin, optional remote contact switch for event saves via push button or contact closure switches, and four programmable sensors for metadata capture that
can be renamed.
