Main Features
The RoadHawk RH-2 Pro 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 acceleration-related incident, this data is marked and stored. The user can also
manually mark the video by pressing on the remote emergency button. When the system
is being used as a teaching aid for driving instructors the USB memory stick can be
removed and given to the student to allow them to analyse and review their driving skills
in the comfort of their own home.
Continuous recording
The video and audio data from the front and interior views are continuously recorded
when the camera receives power. When the capacity of the SD card or USB memory
stick has been reached, the oldest files are overwritten by the newest ones in a “round-
robin”, first in, first out fashion.
Emergency recording
When an impact or an unusual acceleration or deceleration is detected by the built-in G-
Sensor and has exceeded the preset limit the RH-2 creates an “EVENT”. An “EVENT” can
also be triggered by pressing the emergency button. At this point, the recorded video
data is locked-in and is erased only by an authorised party and by using a PC or laptop,
accessing the SD card. “EVENT” data records 1 minute before and 1 minute after the
event. (Note : The User may set the pre-event time to either 1 minute, 2 minutes or 3
minutes of pre-event recording).
Changing the settings such as the Pre-Event record time is done using the supplied
software. When you insert the card in to the camera it looks for the config file and
behaves accordingly.
GPS Location and Speed recording
Once the RH-2 has had chance to lock on to a GPS satellite signal it will start recording
GPS Data in the form of vehicle speed and location. Upon playback using the supplied
viewing software you will see this data in graphical form using Google maps.
Playback of video/audio data
The recorded data can be played back using the provided playback software supplied
on CD. This software is FREEWARE and you are allowed to send it to any person for the
purposes of replaying back video recorded by the RH-2 Pro.
With the RH-2 Pro you can also instantly playback video using the supplied IR remote
controller direct back to a connected TFT monitor inside the vehicle. This is especially
useful if you need to show a driving student an error.
Data analysis
The recorded data can be easily analysed for speed, vehicle location and direction of
travel using the software player that is supplied on the CD-ROM.
