The two full-HD in-vehicle video recorders (dash cams) enable businesses to implement real-time video evidence collection and black-box event recording.

The new RS dash cams enable business road users to prove culpability in accidents or other emergencies, and so avoid losses due to threats such as poor driving or deliberate crash insurance fraud.

The recorded video, with time, date, audio and 3D G-sensor data also included, provides the evidence that can help resolve disputes quickly and reduce legal costs.

The cameras are also ideal for personal use or for leisure activities, such as recording driving experiences to post on social media.

The additional GPS capability enables continuous geo-tagging of the vehicle, thereby providing richer event information.

Both units have a 5-Mpixel CMOS camera with 105° wide-angle view, and record data continuously at 1080p/30fps on a SDHC card up to 4GB.
