This camera will record 4 minutes of motion picture in Motion JPEG format in a 256MB of DRAM. User can choose VGA or QVGA resolution and change frame rate from to 1 up to 15 frames per second, or 30sec a frame to maximize the recording time.

A total of 3840 frame of high compression QVGA picture or 480 frame of low compression high quality VGA image can be recorded. The camera will last for 32 hours if running under slowest mode (1 frame/30sec.) in QVGA format.

A local control box can be connected up to the camera for review or retrieving of the image stored inside the memory, and modify the setting condition of the unit, such as day time, frame rate compression rate, through a convenient I-OSD (interactive on screen display) interface.

The camera can be programmed to stop 2 minutes after receive a event trigger signal, such as air bag signal from a car crush or micro switch signal from seat belt. A stream of motion picture for 2 min. before and 2 min. after events will be recorded to serve as evidence for investigation.

Another typical application can be done by programming the camera to record in shorter intervals such as 4 sec. in a session, and trigger by a motion detector (such as a PIR or reed relay). Images 2 sec. before and 2 sec. after trigger can then be recorded and them ready and wait for next trigger. These picture were then be accumulated till all 4 minutes of memory used up, resulting in a time-lapse composite. The recording time for each trigger an later is fully adjustable.

This camera runs on 12V DV supplied by a car battery or an AC adapter. In case main power is interrupted due to a power blackout, the images stored in memory will remain for twenty four hours or more (depending on the size of the backup battery installed in the camera).
