I have installed a drive recorder!
21 January 2022
Hi. This is Kazuhiro.
I posted an article about the accident that occurred on 19 November 2021.(Click here for blog)
In this accident, I understood the importance of drive recorders. I immediately installed a dashcam in preparation for the next car accident (hopefully nothing happens, of course).
The drive recorder I chose this time is Carrozzeria's VREC-DZ700DLC.


I chose this dashcam because it can record clearly even at night.
A smoke film with a transmittance of about 20% is attached to the rear window (rear windshield) of my car.
Therefore, the video recorded by a normal drive recorder cannot be recorded as dark and clear as a whole.
Well, I installed the drive recorder immediately. The working time was about 2 hours.

It is a front camera. Here in Japan, it was cold in January and it was snowing at the time of shooting. The white spots on the front windshield are snow.

It is a rear camera. Can you find out where it is installed? ?? ??
Yes. Of course, due to the influence of smoke film, the camera cannot be seen from the outside.
It is installed like this.

Now let's see how the rear camera is recorded.
You can see that it is recorded clearly. However. .. .. You can see the two circles at the top of Kranze's "a" on the rear window in the camera! This is my mistake when installing.
I decided not to change the position of the camera because it is difficult to remove the adhesive tape once it is attached.

It is of utmost importance that no traffic accidents occur. However, I think that a drive recorder is a necessary equipment just in case.
If you haven't installed it yet, why not consider it?
Thank you for the reading :-)
