T-Eye Accident Camera System

[geekmedic]

Does anyone know of a US retailer that carries the T-Eye ADR3000 accident camera?

All I can find are UK retailers that carry it. Not sure if it's cleared by Uncle Sam for use in the US.

Here's the link: T-Eye ADR3000 (http://www.joutec.com/eng/product/teye.html)

This differs from most safety cameras because it's smaller, and it has a button you can push to manually record 1-2 minutes before and 1-2 minutes after you hit the record button. If you get nailed running 70 in a 65, or if the LEO is running radar illegally, would be a great way to save yourself. Especially if they add a few mph to your actual speed.

Very interesting, price is not as bad as I originally thought. Only problem would be warranty.

I looked at that one through Brickhouse Security's website. It doesn't record the inside of the cabin (not a big deal). The reason I didn't want that one is because when you press the emergency button, it starts recording from that point forward. With the T-eye system, if you press the button, it records 2-3 minutes before the time you press the button and 2-3 minutes after. It continuously records like the one on eBay, but it actually stores that data when you press the button.

Actually it records 5 seconds before and 30 seconds after. This one is the PRO model vs Briskhouses normal model. The only difference is the Pro model allows you to use up to a 16gb SD card vs up to 2gb model that Brickhouse offers. Better yet the Pro model is $270 vs $400 that Brickhouse sells it for

Sounds like a good deal for the money. The T-eye is nearly $700. Part of the reason I wanted recording so far back when you hit the button is in case I'm clocked. If the officer tries to cite me for faster than I was going, if he wasn't playing the rules (Georgia has a lot of them), etc., then I can use it against him. Also, if involved in an accident and it's not my fault, then it would be nice to have that documented.

I should've posted for everyone to wait before buying... just got word that they are coming out with H.264 compression, which should give better images/audio. Should be released in June and Rosco should have it in July (according to Joutec, the manufacturer).

Excellent safety cam though!

[tactical22]

it will be a firmware update, so dont worry, it is easy to update.

The new model is the 3500, it will also have GPRS sim cards where it can send an image back to a receiver in the office or at home etc...if it detects an incident it will send back to the base.

But it will be later than June.

From what Joutec said, it's a hardware update.

yeah thats what he said

yeah I got one of these from a local supplier here..nice unit..but u need a fast SD card or it will have crap video.

[Tambourine-Man]

How wide angle is the lens? That is will it cover from one side of the road to the other if it is placed reasonably close to the windshield?

What is the lux rating (that is, what kind of video can you expect with just light from the headlights?

Alternately how good is the bright sunlight compensation so the video does not get washed out?

[tactical22]

The camera is mega wide...i mean it will easily cover from one side to the other!

Low light is ok, i can see all the footage at night with the headlights.

It reacts to sun like any camera...the iris is ok, still viewable.
