Installing directly to the windshield and incorporating 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 CompactFlash card, which is included. It is capable of simultaneously recording post-event snapshots as it transfers motion video from the internal buffer onto the CompactFlash card for video storage. Video is automatically recorded when a vehicle operator is speeding or driving erratically, when the operator manually presses the event save button, or when a crash occurs. Also records and tracks GPS map coordinates, G-force data, vehicle speed, event trends and audio that can be accessed by SafeDrive MiniDVR software.
