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 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.

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.
