Starr Computer yesterday launched its revolutionary Vehicle Video Surveillance System – the Starr Xfinity VVR.
The appeal of the Starr Xfinity VVR is that from its two high resolution cameras, it is able to capture and record all front images from the car’s dashboard as well as activities inside the vehicle in real time. In addition, it tracks the vehicle’s speed and movement via Google GPS.
At a demonstration yesterday at Starr’s 59 Brickdam office, the device was showcased and an onscreen illustration was done.
Michael Mohan, President of Starr Computers, conducted yesterday’s demonstration and stated that there are other high-end products similar to the Xfinity VVR, but the company wanted to provide an affordable device. The price tag attached to this product is $89,000.
Mohan said the device is the perfect solution for law enforcers, journalists, taxi services, ambulances, fire engines, mining vehicles, school buses or any law abiding citizen.
The Starr Xfinity VVR has a digital video recorder, two powerful high definition cameras, wide angle video coverage- in real time, IR for night vision, GPS tracking to view routes, ability to record vehicle speed (Kw/hr), G-sensor to adjust for road condition, voice recording and more. Mohan explained that the front view camera records 20 frames per second and the back view, 15 frames per second. He also explained that this piece of equipment has no internal memory but instead works with a SD memory card which can be read on a computer only if specific software, which is included in the package, is downloaded onto the system. This serves as a security measure, since only the owner would be able to access files attached to the memory card. A 16GB memory card is able to capture 8 hours record time.
Mohan also stated that this device can be used in any vehicle at just about any location and also can be operated manually although made to be used in vehicles. However, a battery pack would have to be available to power the device if used elsewhere.
