1. Product Overview

The GDR 190 is a dashboard camera that combines GPS
functionality, a collision sensor, and an f2.0 large-aperture
lens with a horizontal viewing angle of 200 degrees—the
best in the industry. The GDR 190 not only records every­thing you see in front of you in crisp HD-quality resolution,
but also captures objects just outside your field of vision,
ensuring you have a safer drive!
