A CAR BLACK BOX

When we hear the word black box, we always think of aircrafts. However, this is now changing with the introduction of tamper proof car black boxes.

The recent innovation involves a video drive recorder device installed in car windscreens to record video, audio and GPS data related to vehicle impact or accidents triggered by motion sensors.

Information from the device is then stored on a removable memory. The memory can be removed for analysis to know what happened to your vehicle before and after an accident.

Other features of the car black box include real-time recording, event recording and manual event recording.
The user can even manually switch it on while on the move to record what is
happening in front or behind their car.

For example, you can know how a person who borrowed your car used it by just referring to its memory via a computer. In Kampala, car black boxes can be bought in Katwe, off Entebbe Road.
