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.
Data is recorded in a continuous loop, with oldest video erased by more recent video. The
compact system can hold hours of data before any over-writing takes place. CYL-V contains a
G-force sensor, which may be configured to create a digital “event”. Events are specific driving
files containing instances when the vehicle exceeds certain G-force values, such as those
exceeded during harsh turns, panic braking, and rapid acceleration. These event files are marked
and placed in a special folder on the SD card. Additionally, the driver has the ability to mark a
standard driving file as a “Driver Event”, and have that file placed into the special event folder
as well. Some CYL-V units are also supplied with an optional internal GPS antenna which enables
capture of vehicle location, speed, and direction. In those units, files containing “Speed” events
will also be placed in the events folder. All the data is stored in 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 software is provided at no additional cost to the end-user, and
there are no follow-up fees for use or updating of the CYL-V Player by authorized users. 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 micro SD 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.
