ID Fone Announces the Development of New Mobile-DVR, In-car DVR

BUCHEON CITY, South Korea--Dec. 4, 2003--Three hundred Mobile-DVRs are scheduled for delivery to US police departments to improve crime prevention and to preserve crucial evidence of criminal acts and arrests. ID Fone Co. Ltd. has developed the new technology, which can also function as a "black box" type device for vehicles in accidents.

Technologies are adopted to fit to highly variable high-speed moving environments such as impact resistance and protection mechanism to secure reliability from severe vibration and impact, high quality video and proof against severe cold and intense heat.

ID Fone's Mobile DVR solves the common problem of damaged recorded files in existing HDD type In-Car DVR caused by impact or cut-off of the power in accidents. ID Fone removes the problem by adopting Flash memory as a recording media instead of using HDD.

The main features of the ID Fone's new product are as follows:

    --  Synchronous recording of Video and Voice
        - Video : 2Channel
        - Voice : 3Channel

    --  Recording of external events (break, oil, air bag etc.):10
        inputs

    --  Recording of moving speed of the vehicle, time and location
        (Black box function) with built-in GPS

    --  Codec : MPEG4

    --  Recording media : Compact Flash Memory

    --  Water marking to prevent the data from alteration and increase
        the admissibility of evidence at the law court

ID Fone expects the product to be applied in various fields such as disaster recovery and rescue by installing it on helicopters and fire engines. The DVR can be equipped with wireless LAN card optionally so that the video and voice data are transmitted to headquarters from the accident scene through a wireless communication network.
