Dear Customer
Thank you for purchasing the HD Car Black Box. In order to help you
operate it correctly, please read these instructions carefully before using.
Suction-mounted to your windscreen the Car Black Box records
high-denition video and audio as you drive. In an accident
it’s incontrovertible evidence, admissible in court, of who’s to
blame and who’s liable. One insurance company is offering some
drivers a 10% premium discount. This averages out at £33 pa
and depending on your age and where you live could be a much
larger sum. Easy to use, the Car Black Box switches on and off
with the ignition, lms in user dened timed loops and stores
time/date-marked recordings. And with night vision mode and
motion detection, it provides protection day and night. Supplied
with a USB cable to transfer video and photos to your computer
for archiving or can be connected direct to your TV by HDMI
cable (not included). Powered with Lithium battery that recharges
via your lighter socket or USB. The Car Black Box could pay for
itself in a year on insurance costs alone. If you’re involved in an
accident - it could save you much more.
