Automated Drive Recorder

Unlike other in-car recording systems, the Drive Recorder is used to record
both video and audio data in a continuous loop fashion. If the vehicle is
involved in an accident such as a collision, impact, and sudden acceleraon-
related incident, this data is marked and stored. One may thereaer analyze
the data to find its root cause by playing back the scenes of interest and
where acceleraon, vehicle speed, direcon, and locaon are available for
review. Added to the recording are vehicle speed and direction and GPS
locaon.
Main Features
Connuous recording
The video and audio data from the front and interior views is connuously recorded while power
on. When the capacity of the SD card has been reached, the oldest files are overwrien by the
latest ones in a “round-robin”, first in, first out fashion.
Pre and post event recording
When impact or unusual acceleraon or deceleraon is detected by the built-in G-Sensor and has
exceeded the preset limit or one acvates the manual emergency record buon, the recorded
video data is locked-in and is erased only by an authorized party and by using a PC or laptop,
accessing the SD card. Event data records 1 minute before and 1 minute aer(Note: The User may
set the pre-event me to either 1 minute, 2 minutes or 3 minutes of pre-event recording). The
next me the SD card is read by the unit, the unit’s set up parameters will be uploaded into the
recorder. As previously menoned, stored event recording data in the SD card will not be erased
by the unit, and where this must be done manually by the user.
Night view recording with Infra-Red Light
The included IR (Infra-Red) Light module with adjustment used this invisible light source to assist
in recording nighme views from the interior facing camera.
Playback of video/audio data
The recorded data can be played back using the provided playback soware which resides on the
SD card. By removing the SD card and accessing the Player folder and double clicking on the “Player.
exe” line starts the playback soware.
Data analysis
The recorded data can be easily analyzed for speed, vehicle location and direction of travel
including impact by using the Player that is found on conveniently on the supplied SD card.

Tips before Using the Product
Take the SD card out of the Drive recorder. Access the Player.exe menu and enetr the set
up mode, setting time zone, daylight savings time and other settings (as noted in the
programming section of the manual). Re-insert the SD card in the recorder. Following the
installaon instrucons. When you connect the unit to power, or turn the engine on, “dR Init”
appears on the LED display on the unit, indicang that the video recorder is inializing. The LED
display window will show a series of numbers, this indicates that GPS satellites are beginning
acquired.
In about 25 seconds aer power on, longer if one has not set the local me zone on the SD
card, the unit completes inializing and a “ding dong” chime is heard along with the words
“Hello”. The unit may sll show a series of numbers followed by and “GPS FINE” will appears.
This adjusts the unit further for increased accuracy.
Aer the chime, the Drive Recorder starts connuous recording without GPS data. The unit is
recording video and audio as well as vehicle speed, direcon and locaon, when: a) when the
vehicle is stopped, the unit shows local me; b) when the vehicle is in moon, it displays the

When the capacity of the SD card has been reached, the oldest files are overwritten for
connuous recording. The data recorded by either the unit’s internal G-Sensor or external
manual record buon are not overwrien. (This alarm data must be erased by the User with
the SD card inserted in the computer, erasing event data in the DATA folder.)
When you stop the engine or remove the power cable from the cigaree lighter plug, T-eye
stops recording.

SD card related informaon
Warning
Do Not use this SD card for any other purpose.
To use this SD card for any other purpose or copy unrelated files can cause a fatal error.
Aer formang the SD card set the me zone in T-eye configuraon.
If you do not configure the sengs, system inializaon may take up to 10 minutes
and where the me and me zone may not match.
In case of formang the SD card, the exisng recorded video files are all deleted, so be
sure to perform a backup for any important video files.
Use only the provided SD card with the unit to ensure proper operaon. Consult your Reseller or
the Company website for SD card compability. In case where the computer used to mplayback
the video does not support the SD card and the SD SDHC2.0 memory card standard, use a
separate SDHC2.0 USB reader. (SD to USB adapter). Periodically format the SD card so as to
prevent SD card errors over a long period of me.
To playback video, use the T-eye exclusive viewer that is located on the SD card. With the SD card
inserted in your computer, explore the SD card, locate the “player .exe” file which is located on the
SD card. Then explore the “DATA” folder and select the file that you wish to playback.

Forward facing and rear facing/interior view camera
The camera must be horizontal and vercal. When the lens of the camera is
obstructed or is dirty, clear images may not be captured. Periodic cleaning is
required. To clean the lens, use a socamera lens cloth to prevent damage.
Emergency record buon (Video image removal protecon)
In order to record diver detected scenes of interest, press the emergency
record (E) buon to record. This data records 1 minute before and 1 minute
after. (User may set pre-event time 1 minute, 2 minutes or 3 minutes).
Stored event recording data in SD card will not be erased unless user cancels
(A remote buon is also provided for this funcon for covert recording) The
recording me is determined in prerecording me.
