iPhone Black Box crash recorder
14 October 2009
- Stores video evidence before and after accident
- Built-in sensor detects impacts
- Records speed, location and time/date
An application that turns your iPhone into a 'black box' data recorder in the event of an accident, has been revealed at the Hong Kong Electronics fair.
The IBB-01 iPhone Black Box is mounted on the windscreen and comes with a built-in wide-angle camera, an SD card slot with 4GB of memory included, and an internal g-force sensor. It is compatible with the 3GS iPhone.
The device records continuously until the G-sensor detects a sudden deceleration or impact, at which point it will store what happened 20 seconds before the event and 15 seconds after – providing vital evidence for police and insurance investigations.
The unit will also store the vehicle's speed and location, using the iPhone's built-in GPS satellite-navigation.
The 'black box' can even export the location of the incident to Google Earth or provide a printable accident report.
