Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. unveiled two new dash cameras today during the 2020 International CES, taking place at the Las Vegas Convention Center from Jan. 7-10.
“Alpine recognized a new customer and need for in-vehicle safety solutions,” said Mike Anderson, Vice President and General Manager, Brand Business Unit, Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. “Our new line of dash cameras seeks to respond to the change in perception of vehicle safety and accident prevention.”
The dash camera solutions include a universal mounting bracket for versatile installation in any vehicle.
HD Video Recording
The DVR-C310R Dash Camera and DVR-C320R Stealth Dash Camera come with full HD picture quality and high dynamic range (HDR) with automatic exposure and white balance adjustment for clear video imaging. A clear image ensures the highest quality recording, which is vital for accident footage and license plate capture in the event of an accident.
Drivers have the option to choose between driving, parking and all-time recording mode based on preference. During driving mode, the camera’s sensor will record and document an impact during an accident five seconds before or after it occurs. Parking mode will record an accident, such as a rear-end, ten seconds after it occurs.
Wi-Fi and GPS Capability
GPS capability is available as an option in the DVR-C310R Dash Camera (sold separately) and is included in the DVR-C320R Stealth Dash Camera solution. The GPS will record and document proof of speed while driving in the event of an accident or traffic violation.
The Wi-Fi-enabled dash cameras can quickly adjust, view and transfer recording files from the camera database to a smartphone or PC app to avoid data loss in emergencies or to document speed in the event of an accident or traffic violation.
Rear Camera Capability
A second rear-view camera is included for various use cases. Popular for rideshare service drivers, the rear-view camera can be used to monitor and record internal cabin activity. It can also be used to record external vehicle activity and capture rear-end accidents.
Advanced Features
In addition to the shared features with the DVR-C310R Dash Camera, the DVR-C320R Stealth Dash Camera offers a sleek, “stealth” application design that mounts directly to the interior windshield glass for a factory-looking fit and finish.
The DVR-C320R Stealth Dash Camera has additional drive assist features, including lane-departure warnings, front collision warnings and front car movement warnings for added vehicle safety. It also includes a direct connection option to select Alpine AV/AVN systems with rear-seat entertainment (RSE) controls so drivers can control the dash camera functions directly from an Alpine head unit.
Alpine’s Dash Cameras will ship in July for $350 SRI for the DVR-C310R Dash Camera; $450 for the DVR-C320R Stealth Dash Camera and will be for sale at Alpine Authorized retailers or online at www.alpine-usa.com through Crutchfield.
