10-8 In car Video10-8 In car Video The 10-8 Video System was designed with some very important goals in mind:
Reliability: Enclosed in an all metal casing, our Digital Video Recorder (DVR) is designed specifically for mobile use. With no moving parts, it is able to withstand a much higher degree of bumps and vibrations than most of the higher priced systems on the market today. By eliminating all moving parts in the recording process, our system will still be recording during the critical times when you really need it. The older systems that used any form of video tapes would often show static or blank out at critical moments. This was due to the fact that the video tape was moving across a recording head that was spinning at a high rate of speed. Not real reliable when chasing a suspect off road or over curbs! Now in the age of digital recording, most of the products on the market today have designed their systems around hard drives. While certainly an improvement over video tape in many ways, they too are very susceptible to hard bumps and vibrations. Ask any computer technician what the last thing any computer with a hard drive does when it is turned off or put in standby: The heads inside the hard drive are parked in a location to prevent damage to your data should the computer get bumped or moved! These systems are asking a computer to keep recording during a bumpy high speed chase or off road encounter. Certainly there are ways to mount and vibration dampen the drive to help reduce the chances of losing critical evidence. But you can not eliminate it. With our no moving parts recording system our recording media has been tested to continue recording up to a 50g impact! In addition, the electronics are protected by a robust relay system with a 5 second delay to protect the electronics during vehicle start and over/under voltage conditions. Yet the DVR is designed to operate safely with voltages as high as 32v
