3.1 גרונטלעכע רעקאָרדירונג

The ZDR025 begins recording automatically when the engine is turned ON, thanks to its high-speed startup system. It records both front and rear views in Full HD (2 million pixels).

• קעסיידערדיק רעקאָרדינג: Records continuously from engine ON to OFF. Older data is automatically overwritten when the microSD card capacity is reached.
• אימפּאַקט רעקאָרדינג: The built-in G-sensor detects impacts and automatically saves the relevant footage as protected 'Impact Recording Data'. This prevents it from being overwritten by continuous recording.
• מאַנואַל רעקאָרדינג: Press the designated button to manually initiate a recording. This footage is also saved as protected 'Manual Recording Data'.

• STARVIS טעכנאָלאָגיע: The rear camera incorporates Sony's STARVIS back-illuminated CMOS sensor, enabling bright and clear recording even in low-light conditions such as at night or inside tunnels.
• HDR/WDR Function: Equipped with High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) functions (rear camera supports HDR only), the device records clear images even in scenes with significant brightness differences, such as strong backlighting, whiteouts, or blackouts.
• LED Traffic Light Compatibility: Designed to record reliably even with different power frequencies used by LED traffic lights in various regions (Eastern/Western Japan).
• Recording Image Inversion: The built-in G-sensor automatically detects the device's orientation and inverts the recorded image, allowing flexible installation on dashboards or other surfaces.

3.3 Safety Driving Support Functions

The ZDR025 includes several features to assist with safe driving:

• Rear Vehicle Approach Notification: Detects vehicles approaching from behind and alerts you with voice or alarm. It can also automatically save this event as 'Rear Vehicle Approach Recording Data'.
• Forward Vehicle Departure Notification: Alerts you when the vehicle in front starts moving.
• Front Signal Notification: Detects and alerts you when the traffic light ahead turns green.
• Driving Support Function: Detects sudden acceleration, sudden deceleration, or sudden steering and provides alerts.
• Vehicle Speed Alarm: Notifies you if you exceed a preset speed limit.

Note: These safety driving support functions are aids and do not prevent accidents. Always pay attention to actual traffic conditions and drive safely. Some functions require active GPS reception. Performance may vary based on environmental conditions.

3.4 Parking Surveillance Function (Optional)

Requires the separately sold parking surveillance direct wiring cord [HDROP-14].

• Impact Quick Recording: Activates upon impact detection while parked, recording images. This mode conserves power for extended surveillance.
• One-Time Parking Surveillance Mode: Temporarily activates parking surveillance even if the main function is OFF. Useful for specific situations like parking in unfamiliar areas.
• Parking Surveillance Mode Pass: Temporarily disables parking surveillance mode. Useful in environments prone to vibrations (e.g., mechanical parking lots, windy days) to prevent false triggers.
• צייט-לאַפּס רעקאָרדינג: Records still images at 1-second intervals and compresses them into a short video, allowing for long-duration parking surveillance. This also applies to normal driving mode.
