In the news, we are seeing more and more images captured by drive recorders, such as the moment of a shocking accident or tailgating. I checked the latest information on drive recorders. ■ What is the installation rate of drive recorders? In Nagoya, 66% of people have a drive recorder, and we conducted a survey in the city of Nagoya to find out if they have a drive recorder and why. Nurse in her 20s (possessed): "Recently, the video of the drive recorder is often used in the news, so I thought it would be good if something happened." Clerical worker in his 30s (possessed): "When I was waiting for a traffic light, I was hit from behind, so I put it on." But I don't do it because I think it's going to be a hassle." Student in his 20s (not owned): "I won't buy it because it's expensive. If it's about 50,000 yen before and after (I want to buy it)" Office worker in his 60s (Don't have one): "I don't use it for commuting, and I don't drive long distances." In a survey of 50 people, 33 people (66%) had one. The driver "floats in the air" due to the impact... The taxi that was rear-ended by the car at a tremendous speed and the driver's "after" accident involving 5 cars in the downtown ■First drive record! Curious about the price and how to install it? We interviewed at a store in Nagoya City about questions when purchasing a drive recorder for the first time and the latest evolution of drive recorders. "Super Autobacs Nagoya Bay" in Minato Ward, Nagoya City. The store has about 30 types of drive recorders. The store sells more than 100 units a month, and sales tend to increase after major incidents. There are mainly 3 types of drive recorders, and there are ``one camera type that only shows the front,'' ``two cameras in front and behind,'' and ``360 degree camera type.'' The mainstream 2-camera type starts at about 20,000 yen, and installation costs will be charged separately. The installation cost at this shop is 5,500 yen for the front alone, and 16,500 yen for the two front and rear cameras. It takes about 1 hour to install each device, and videos are mainly saved on a micro SD card. Person in charge: "The (recording) time varies depending on the image quality of the model, but most of them can record for about 1-2 hours." Caution is required. ■The latest drive recorder which evolved! Models that store data on the Internet have also appeared. Some newer models have improved lighting correction functions, so they can take bright pictures even in dark places, and it is said that license plates and people can be seen. increase. It seems that license plates are often difficult to see due to light reflection, but the image quality has been improved so that they can be seen more clearly. In addition, there was also a function that automatically starts recording on impact, and the rearview mirror itself is a drive recorder. A product that has evolved further is Comtech's "XDR058," which was released in November. "It looks normal, but it has one big feature." Person in charge: "The model has a communication function and can transfer image data of accidents, etc." The greatest strength is that the video can be saved in the "cloud", that is, it can be saved on the Internet is. In addition to being able to check the images on a smartphone, there is no need to worry about the images disappearing even if the SD card is damaged in an accident. In addition, if it is stolen, the drive recorder will also be lost, but you can check the video and real-time location information at the time of the theft on your smartphone, and you can also track it. When I visited Comtech, there was an unexpected reason for the development. Person in charge of Commtech Planning Department: "I heard that there are a lot of people who are worried about their family's driving. I can watch it on time. There are parents who are worried about driving their children who have just obtained their license. , For those who are worried about their elderly family members driving, they can watch over them from a distance with a dedicated app." Born from the voice of wanting to watch over the driving of family members, etc., and because it has a function to notify driving, It will let you know in real time that everything has been completed successfully. Comtech's "XDR058" is priced at 58,080 yen (including tax), with communication costs of 14,000 yen a year. In "Super Autobacs Nagoya Bay", the installation cost starts from 16,500 yen.
