Automotive HD Video Recorder
Automotive HD Video Recorder
Rosco’s CYL-V allows recording of exterior video and vehicle travel data. Mounted on the
windshield, CYL-V captures a wide-angle view of the road as seen by the driver. The Recorder
is capable of capturing audio inside the vehicle, although this feature may be disabled through
software configuration.
How Video and Data is Saved:
Video and driving data is recorded in a continuous loop,
with the oldest video and data being erased by the most recent if the MicroSD card is full.
The compact system can hold hours of video and driving data before any over-writing takes
place. “Events” are specific driving files where the driver pressed the Driver Event Button or
exceeded a pre-configured speed or G-sensor value. High G-sensor events can be caused by
harsh turns, panic braking, rapid acceleration, and collisions. Event files are marked and stored
in a special folder on the MicroSD card called “EVENT.” Non-Event video is stored in a separate
folder called “VIDEO.” When the standard “VIDEO” folder fills, the oldest video is erased by
the newest. When “EVENT” folder fills, the oldest Event video is erased by the newest. When
the SD card is full in either or both folders, the CYL-V keeps recording. The cards are set up to
give priority to Event videos. Even when the EVENT folder is full, it continues to accept new
Events. At the same time, the capacity for NORMAL video will be reduced to 1 hour (16 GB card)
or 4 hours (64 GB card). CYL-V units are supplied with an internal GPS antenna that enables
capture of vehicle location, speed, and direction. CYL-V creates proprietary files located on the
removable Micro SD card which may ONLY be reviewed by using Rosco’s proprietary CYL-V
Player software on any Windows PC. The proprietary format allows vehicle speed, location, and
G-sensor data to be displayed along with the recorded video. The software comes pre-loaded
on the included MicroSD card and is provided at no additional cost. There are no follow-up
fees for use or updating of the CYL-V Player by authorized users. Using the video player, critical
videos may be converted to standard media-player formats for legal or administrative action.
Security:
CYL-V is a commercial grade product designed to be used in a variety of applications.
The Security Lock discourages unauthorized removal of the SD card. Installation via hard-wire
connection to a vehicle’s electrical system discourages tampering and provides parking mode
recording capability up to 3 hours after the ignition has been shut off. Rosco’s CYL-V Recorder
is designed to provide error-free recording. The state-of-the-art hardware components and
software programs are specifically designed for recording and storage of High Definition video.
Rosco recommends the use of high-quality MicroSD cards, and we will periodically issue a
list of recommended storage media. CYL-V is a Full HD Digital Drive Recorder with the most
advanced technology.
