PROOF FR400 Premium Dashboard Camera
About the System
- A vehicle security camera in a minimalistic design, that poses no disruption to the driver’s field of vision. PROOF takes vehicle security technology to the next level, continuously recording while driving or watching. In contrast whether the vehicle is parked, has clear, unobstructed night vision, identifies damage to the vehicle, provides real-time alerts to a dedicated smartphone app, and consistent peace of mind.
- The PROOF system is intended for constant filming from your vehicle throughout your entire road trip and selective recording while parked (if damage to the vehicle has been identified.) The system contains two cameras – a forward-facing camera that films the roadway in front of the vehicle and a secondary camera used for filming the rear of the vehicle. A built-in G Sensor (Accelerometer in the camera) will document and lock to prevent any erasure of film clips in which damage to the vehicle has been identified. This sensor is also active whenever the vehicle is struck while parked.
- PROOF system is equipped with a cellular modem and GPS receiver that enabling realtime video streaming from the vehicle’s current geo-position from anywhere in the world . Furthermore, the system features a Wi-Fi receiver that allows for direct connection between the camera and your cell phone enabling fast transfer of recorded footage without requiring internet connectivity.
- The PROOF system records at an exceptionally high quality of l080p to ensure optimal visibility of recorded incidents. You can review back at the saved footage and track your vehicle’s geo-tracking history for approximately 40 hours of recording (40 hours of travel). Additionally, the system can perform 24 hours of continuous recording while the vehicle is parked
- Geofence zones can be designated in the system where real-time alerts can be received whenever the vehicle enters or exits them.
- The system summarizes all the trips as part of the reports that can be viewed through the application. It presents a detailed report of the trip’s point of origin, its final destination, average speed, and overall duration.
