Transcend Information released the DrivePro 50 Car Video Recorder, which has a compact size, F/1.8 aperture, Wi-Fi connectivity, built-in battery, Full HD imaging sensor, and a G-sensor emergency recording function.
The new DrivePro 50 can be hidden behind the rearview mirror without blocking the driver’s view. The DrivePro 50 also has a large F/1.8 aperture to capture all details of an incident, including license plates, during either daytime or nighttime. The DrivePro 50’s camera integrates a wide 130° viewing angle and a Full HD imaging sensor for 1080p (30fps) video recording. In addition, the six glass lenses plus one infrared filter lens are designed to prevent fogging from heat generated during extended recordings and to ensure the whole trip is recorded in high clarity.
Thanks to its built-in Wi-Fi and the free DrivePro New App, the DrivePro 50 can be operated entirely via iOS or Android devices. When connected to the DrivePro 50’s wireless network, users can stream, playback, and download videos, and adjust DrivePro 50’s settings directly from their smartphone or tablet.
The DrivePro 50’s built-in G-Sensor instantly triggers the Emergency Recording mode when it detects an impact during recording. Alternatively, users can also activate the emergency recording mode manually by pressing the red emergency button. Video files recorded in emergency mode are protected from being overwritten.
After the DrivePro 50 is mounted on the windshield and connected to the lighter socket, so further driver involvement is not required. When the vehicle’s engine is turned on, video files are automatically recorded to the included Transcend High Endurance 16GB microSDHC MLC memory card. Moreover, with Loop Recording enabled, the oldest video files in the memory card will be overwritten by new files when memory card capacity is full, eliminating the need to purchase additional storage.
