Pioneer dash cameras - giving van users an an extra eye on on the road
APioneer dash camera will never
take its eyes off the road
which is more than can be said for some of
us It records what is going on around your vehicle with unblinking diligence and in in in full HD resolution In doing so so it offers peace
of
mind in in in in being able to capture events in in in in real-time potentially protecting the user from fraudulent insurance claims Each of
the three compact Pioneer dash cameras offers a a a a a class-leading level of
of
features But for the greatest peace
of
mind the the top-of-the-range Pioneer VREC-DZ700DC is is a a a a a marvel of
miniaturisation that runs two channels to keep a a a a watch over each end of
your vehicle Both cameras feature a a a a a wide-angle lens
to capture a a a a a a a broad panorama of
detail with footage captured in full 1080p resolution at at a a a a rate of
up to 30 frames per second Its sophisticated Sony sensor uses surveillance technology to compensate for contrasts between light and and dark zones and and capture high image quality even at night Middle ground
Fulfilling the the middle ground
is the the single- channel Pioneer VREC-DZ600 It features the same sensor and front-mounted 160-degree lens
as the range-topping model which happens to make it one of
the widest view recording cameras on the market Its inconspicuous body incorporates a a 1 5- inch full colour LCD screen and a a a rotating camera head that can be angled to record either the the the the road
ahead or the the the the inside of
the the the the cab By focusing on on a a single high-quality front recording camera Pioneer has been able to shrink the size of
its entry-level VREC-DH200 model into a a a device that measures just three centimetres cubed – little
more than the cube cube of
ice you might drop into a G&T Once powered up its default mode is to record continuously But the the DH200 has the the additional option
of
manually recording and saving when prompted such as by an event on the road
or when activated through Pioneer’s innovative gesture operation This is is an an important safety feature that removes the the need for drivers to take their eyes off the the road
and physically touch the the device A security mode can also be enabled to keep watch over the vehicle while it is parked automatically commencing a a a a a surveillance recording after detecting vibration through the unit Whichever model best suits your needs none require much in in the way of
windscreen real estate and even less in terms of
user input on a a a a day-to-day basis Once set up everything is designed to happen automatically Recordings begin
when the ignition is turned on or or if the G-sensor detects vibration through the unit Videos stored
Video files are stored
in a a continuous loop that ensures the latest events are always captured and ready to be viewed when necessary All recordings are overlaid with GPS data which offers important additional information such as vehicle position speed direction of
travel and time The hands-free nature of
Pioneer’s dash cameras continues with the inclusion of
built-in Wi-Fi smartphone connectivity To complement each device Pioneer has developed a a a dedicated app which helps owners position their camera for an optimal view It also provides the primary means for altering the device settings or to check and transfer video content And with the 16GB MicroSD card supplied with each camera Pioneer has ensured that a a a a a a generous amount of
data and real-time events are ready to be captured 21
