Rosco has been an innovator in mirror and rear vision systems for over 100 years. Dual-Vision™ represents an economical alternative to full-scale mobile DVR systems, providing thorough coverage of the driver and loading/unloading area, external events and conditions, traffic signals, and passenger actions, at a fraction of the cost of traditional technologies such as DVR recording and stand alone internal camera equipment. Also, installation is reduced dramatically, thus allowing for the simple transfer of Dual-Vision™ to any vehicle at any time with no monthly maintenance and no recurring fees. This expands the use of the device to many more applications previously untouched. Unlike all other self-contained drive-recorders on the market, the Dual-Vision™ concept provides continuous recording rather than spot recording of only “events”. This means that fleets now can have a record of all activity, incidents, altercations inside and surrounding the vehicle, rather than just those which are selectively “marked” based on driver input or due to significant G-shock events.
A major distinction of the Dual-Vision™ system is its continuous loop recording function: unlike other windshield-mounted recorders which only record for a few seconds before and after a pre-defined “event”, Dual-Vision™ sees and records everything! Additionally, when the Dual-Vision™ recorder notes an event (ex: pre-set G-shock setting or driver-actuated marker button), a separate event file is created with 1-3 minutes of data captured before and after the event. Event data is protected, and cannot be overwritten by the continuous record mode.
The handling of the data with Dual-Vision™ is completely in the fleet-owner’s hands. No subscription is required, in contrast to other services that interpret the data and then charge a fee to send the owner a video record of events or driver activity. Data can be easily downloaded from the SD card to a computer, where it can be reviewed, then discarded or archived at the owner’s discretion.
