The device also includes various recording modes and safety features to protect recorded data, providing reliable documentation of your journeys.

2. ቁልፍ ባህሪያት

2.1 High-Quality Recording

The ZDR-022 records in Full HD (1920x1080 pixels) with a 2-megapixel image sensor, ensuring clear and detailed video footage. This high resolution is beneficial for identifying details in the event of an incident.

2.2 የተሻሻለ የሌሊት እይታ

Equipped with a 1/2.7-inch image sensor, the camera captures brighter images even in low-light conditions. The High Dynamic Range (HDR) function further improves night recording by reducing overexposure in bright areas and underexposure in dark areas, providing balanced and clear night footage. A dedicated Night Vision function is also included for recording in minimal light.

2.3 LED Traffic Light Compatibility

The ZDR-022 is designed to record LED traffic lights accurately across Japan, regardless of regional power frequencies (East Japan/West Japan). This ensures that the color of traffic lights is clearly captured in recordings, which is crucial evidence in certain situations.

2.4 Parking Surveillance System (Optional Accessory Required)

By connecting the optional parking surveillance/direct wiring cord (HDROP-09), the ZDR-022 can monitor your vehicle while parked. This function detects impacts and records footage before and after the event. It also supports continuous recording during parking surveillance.

• Impact Quick Recording: Activates recording upon detecting an impact while parked, minimizing power consumption during standby.
• One-Time Parking Surveillance Mode: Allows temporary activation of parking surveillance even if the function is normally set to OFF, useful for specific parking situations.
• Parking Surveillance Mode Pass Function: Temporarily disables parking surveillance, useful in environments prone to frequent impacts, such as mechanical parking lots or windy conditions.
• የጊዜ-መቅረጽ ቀረፃ Records still images at 1-second intervals and compresses them into a short video, enabling extended recording duration during parking surveillance.

2.5 በርካታ የመቅጃ ሁነታዎች

The device offers three primary recording modes to capture critical events:

• ተከታታይ ቀረፃ Records continuously from engine ON to OFF. Older files are automatically overwritten when the storage limit is reached.
• Impact Recording: foo በራስ-ሰር ያስቀምጣል።tage as impact data when the built-in G-sensor detects a significant impact.
• በእጅ መቅዳት፡ Allows users to manually initiate recording at any desired moment by pressing a button.

2.6 Data Protection Mechanisms

The ZDR-022 incorporates features to safeguard recorded data:

• File የጥበቃ ተግባር፡- A proprietary file system minimizes data corruption risk even if power is suddenly cut during an accident, increasing the likelihood of data recovery.
• SD Card Check Function: Upon startup, the device checks the microSDHC card for damage. If damage is detected, an LED indicator alerts the user, preventing missed recordings due to faulty storage.
• Emergency Recording Stop Function: In the event of a major impact, recording automatically stops to prevent important footage from being overwritten during subsequent vehicle movement or repairs.

2.7 የላቀ File System (No Periodic Formatting)

የፈጠራ ባለቤትነት file system significantly reduces fragmentation of the SD card, eliminating the need for frequent formatting typically required by other dash cameras. This enhances convenience and extends the lifespan of the microSD card.

2.8 የጩኸት ቅነሳ ቴክኖሎጂ

The device is designed with noise countermeasures to prevent interference with digital terrestrial television reception and GPS signals from navigation systems.

2.9 ፒሲ Viewer ሶፍትዌር

የተሰጠ viewer software, downloadable from the COMTEC homepage, allows detailed review of recorded data on a PC. Beyond video and audio, it can display G-sensor information. Recorded data can also be converted and saved as video or still image files.

2.10 Recorded Image Inversion

The built-in G-sensor automatically detects the device's orientation and inverts the recorded image if mounted upside down (e.g., on the dashboard), ensuring correct video orientation.

2.11 Drive Support Function

Detects and alerts the driver to events such as rapid acceleration, rapid deceleration, and sharp turns.
