RoadScan Car Black Box Gets Improved

There’s nothing more annoying than getting into a car accident where the blame is being disputed. This is why a black box for your car could clear up the mess. PLK Technologies’ RoadScan is the auto industry’s equivalent to the black boxes found in commercial airplanes, and has been improved with new features such as a continuous recording function, VEDR (Video Event Data Recorder) function, and many others.

"We are proud to offer these innovative products to the customers," stated Harry Rhim, CEO of SYNET USA, a distributor of PLK products in the States. "The DIT (Digital Image Tachometer), continuous recording, dual memory and manual recording functions make the RoadScan products the most effective car black box in the market."

According to the manufacturer, there are six key features of RoadScan, including video event data recorder function, CCTV function, digital tachometer, and dual memory.

At the time of impact, the RoadScan will detect the shock automatically and record the image before and after 15 seconds of the impact. The DIT will record driving route, speed, and time. The data can be transferred to the SD card and be downloaded to the PC. It has dual memory card which allows one to save data both to internal flash memory and SD card. It comes with 1G memory card that can save images for 5 minutes with high quality or 100 minutes with medium quality.

Other highlights of the new product include high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processing) and powerful image processing algorithms that detect the lane departure in real time, called RoadScopeX. The artificial intelligent camera detects the movement of the car. If the driver crosses road lanes, RoadScopeX will detect it and make an alert sound which could prevent accidents.
