2077 Digital Ally has begun production of its new DVM-250 Digital Event Recorders, and has also won its first order for 65 of the units from one of the largest ambulance service providers in the United States.

The device automatically records and stores video and audio from inside and outside vehicles. Thus, in the case of an abrupt change in acceleration/deceleration, such as during a vehicle accident, sudden stop or other violent manoeuvre, the event is automatically recorded, including one minute prior to the event. Other possible triggers for automatic recording include specific speeds and GPS coordinates, and an optional Interface Box can provide additional possibilities, including shifting the vehicle into reverse, emergency lights, door sensors and more. Users may also start recordings manually, for instance to record the criminal actions of passengers.

    In an effort to help improve vehicle safety, the US Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has proposed a new standard that would capture valuable safety-related data in the seconds before and during a motor vehicle crash. The proposed rule would require automakers to install event data recorders (EDRs), devices that collect specific safety related data, in all light passenger vehicles beginning in September 2014. “By understanding how drivers respond in a cras
