XCORDER Auto Video System

The Xcorder is a multi-use vehicle mounted camera which can be used to provide video footage of driving with data. The Xcorder issimple to install with easy mounting and setup. Simply mount the Xcorder, plug in the power and you are ready to go. Installation of the software is done by plugging in the SD ram card into your computer and installing the software.

Some uses for the Xcorder include auto-crossing, drag racing, changing driving habits by data analysis, parking surveillance recording, speeding ticket evidence, and accident evidence (in jurisdictions that allow it).

The Xcorder features a 640x480 resolution 122 degree diagonal wide angle lens giving you a full view video recording. The Xcorder can record 90 minutes of video with the 2 GB SD Ram card.

The Xcorder offers the following features:

Driver Monitoring. Want to loan your car to your friend but you are not sure if he will be out flogging on your car? Worried about your teenager driving recklessly? The Xcorder features a 3 axis accelerometer which shows g-force loads including braking. Combined with the built in GPS unit which registers vehicle speed you can see exactly what and where the driver has been. The Xcorder software allows you to review all of the data from driving to see if your friend or teenager is going to be buying you a tank of gas or a new set of tires.

Accident Recording. Triggered by a built in 3 axis accelerometer, the unit records a 30 second video with 15 before and after the shock load occurs. This allows you to have data recorded without thinking and gives you video footage of the event. This data can be shown to law enforcement for evidence (in jurisdictions that allow it). This can be a really helpful feature for those "I'm not sure what happened to the front bumper" statements from people borrowing your car. See the screen shot below with the red arrow showing the incident marker on the video.

Manual Recording. Press one button and the Xcorder will give you a new video start point. This is perfect for auto-cross runs, drag racing, or recording the guy in front of you on the freeway being a jack-hole. The videos make perfect youtube clips for embarrassing your friends and or people in traffic.

Built in GPS. All Videos recorded all have time, location, and speed shown in the videos. You can then review trips in the software with the map capture feature in the software.

Parking Surveillance Mode. The Xcorder takes a picture at 2 FPS (Frames per second) to record your vehicle while parked just in case that car in front of you backs into your car while pulling out of their parking spot. With the lower video capture rate the power draw from your car battery is minimized. Please note the outlet in your car needs to be powered up for this feature to work.

Load Sensing. With the built in 3 axis accelerometer videos have acceleration, braking, and cornering g-force loads recorded. For motorsports this can help you analyze runs for cornering loads, braking points, and driving lines taken on auto-cross events.

"I got the Xcorder a few weeks ago because of a recommendation from Derrick after my car was hit in a parking lot. I wanted to figure it all out and see how I liked it over a period of time before I wrote a review.

-parking surveillance mode (wish I'd had that when it got hit)
-3 axis G meter
-speed graph
-digital and analog speedo
-full time GPS video tracking
-continuous event recording for track events
-auto save for shocks (if you rearend someone, it recognizes the shock, and saves 15 seconds before through 15 seconds after the impact. This way, you have evidence if you're not at fault.)

The videos are nice quality, they have no clipping, and good night visibility in color as well. Setting the Xcorder for parking surveillance takes 2 seconds, so you can switch back and forth without inconvenience. The 3 axis G meter is very cool, it had me backroading just seeing how high I could make it spike. Full time GPS tracking shows exactly where you are while you're watching the videos, and you can even zoom in on the map and see your house.

Complaints:

-The instructions are completely unfathomable. It looks as if it is a literal translation from Korean to English. Luckily, the Xcorder is very simple.
-I wish that it had battery power. I've been thinking of running the cord behind the roofliner and hard-wiring it though, like a radar detector, then I wouldn't have any problem with that.
-I wish that it came with a detachable mount. The MS3 is the only car that I would want it in right now, but if I ever wanted to switch it, I'd have to buy a new adhesive strip and move it to the other car. I would like to be able the switch it around at will.

Overall, I love this little gadget. All you guys that want to record your track days should enjoy it with it's speed graph and G meters. All the guys that park in crowded parking lots day in and day out (me) should feel better about knowing just who the hell that was that took the fender off of your car when they backed out of that parking spot.

I highly recommend it, but I would definitely hard wire it and route the wiring instead of running the lighter plug and wire across the console."
