I can see these becoming the next thing in high tech ‘must have’ add-ons in luxury cars. If you think about it, if you had one of these and you knew it would be buffering images from the cameras all the time even while driving you might be a bit of a better driver. Even more so if you knew that if there were an accident that you were involved in the device would have a record of the accident and a few seconds before it. It might be a real help in pointing the finger at who did what to who. Then again, the same idea might ensure that the idea never gets off the ground, from what I have seen on the roads most of the more expensive cars and SUVs are driven by some of the worst drivers around. No, an H2 can not make a left had turn from the right lane and think that no one will notice! Maybe its just that the cars are so freaking huge that you notice them more and thus their poor driving is thrown into sharp contrast. Anyway, this is a mighty clever security system – one I’m sure that will make the main stream news any day now.
The Insight System is designed to operate in buffering mode for an average of two weeks without starting your vehicle. Thereafter it will run uninterrupted without buffering , all on a standard car battery. This ensures that the most useful images are recorded…Cameras are placed inconspicuously throughout the vehicle…a typical camera installation covers all angles of the vehicle, including events that occur both in front of and behind the vehicle.
