The

DAS-3000HD

video

files

Often,

the

quality

of

vehicle

black

box

recorders

is

low,

failing

to

and

faces dearly for identification.

The

video quality

from

the

on

the market

today.

Using

either a

card,

the

DAS-3000HD

will capture

many

hours

of

continuous

video

divided

into

segmented

data

files for later retrieval

and

viewing. This

model

also

provides

extra

edited

copies of ·special evenr videos that

are

placed

into 8

log

file

system

and

cataloged

based

on

time

and

date.

These

special

avant

vidaos

are

triggered

by

the

internal

gyroscopa that

responds

to

impacts

from

car accidents,

rough

handling,

heavy

braking

and

acceleration.

The

DAS-3000HD

also

announces

status reports

through

voice

prompts

to

aid

the

driver

with

the

operation

of

the

recorder.

There

are

many car recorders on the market

today,

but there

II

only

one
