TruScene vehicle accident camera to launch at Motor Show
14th July 2006
Vehicle Camera Systems Limited will be launching a range of cameras for recording vehicle accidents at the British Motor Show at ExCel. The TruScene Vehicle Accident Camera enables car owners, insurance companies and the police to view accidents to determine liability easily.
A compact single-lens camera unit mounted on the inside of the windscreen and powered by the vehicle’s battery and connected via the ignition, the TruScene TS-1L uses GPS to log the exact location of a recorded incident, as well as the time and date. It records journey footage on a 30-second loop, which is constantly replaced as the journey continues. When a predetermined level of g-force is reached – for example, at a point of impact with another vehicle, or obvious loss of control – a sensor is activated and the device commits the latest video image to memory. The driver can also manually record footage at any time.
Once recorded, the data is encrypted and digitally watermarked to eliminate tampering and fraud. The film record processing procedure begins when Truscene’s database receives an accident clip. A reference number is issued to the client; this number is then forwarded to the insurance company with their claim request.
