HKS DMR universal twin video data logger now on sale!
Principal HKS distributor Torque Developments plc is delighted to announce the launch of a high performance, multi-channel universal car video data logging system at an extremely affordable price – just £335.00 plus VAT.
Called the ‘Direct Multi Recorder’ the HKS DMR is a powerful drive recorder that can keep visual records of incidents and accidents accurately, whether on your daily drive or an extended track day session.
But they key difference with the HKS DMR is that it comes supplied with a second auxiliary camera, which enables users to enhance their primary video and data logging with a second visual point of view (the driver’s feet for example.)
Versatile, yet simple to use, the HKS DMR comes complete with a comprehensive software suite and simply positions at the top of the vehicle’s windscreen, then plugs into the car’s cigarette lighter so it’s ready to use in a matter of minutes. Unlike many data loggers on the market the HKS DMR records directly to the SD card, removing the possibility of lost data.
Total recording capacity is up to 16 hours on the supplied 8 GB SD memory card.
HKS DMR Key features:- Recording
The main DMR unit camera incorporates GPS and 3D ‘G’ sensors, plus microphone to enable video and audio recording, as well as location, time and load data. An internal G sensor detects and records the speed (G) so that the DMR can calculate the XYZ amplitude for cornering G, as well as braking and acceleration.
The latest high speed CPU (Hiper DMR Engine) allows seamless recording straight to SD memory card without delay. Most data loggers on the market will have short gaps every few minutes in recording during which they save the data file to the SD memory card, making the HKS DMR far more reliable than competitor units as precious data can’t be lost.
In addition, no data is recorded onto the DMR itself – a unique feature for the new HKS system.
DMR Data analysis
Using the specially developed and supplied HKS DMR KSHSKHKSviewer software, it is possible to analyse driving more precisely. Users can then overlay this GPS information on Google maps to show speeds and track position.
Power Requirements
The principal DMR unit is powered from the car’s 12V cigarette socket. Also, there is a permanent power supply unit included in the main DMR camera, which has auto power cut out to prevent the internal battery from discharging too much.
HKS DMR – Second Camera as standard equipment
HKS’ DMR is equipped with the 2nd camera as a standard. Users can position this auxiliary camera in a choice of locations on the car to maximise a second video recorded point of view.
For example, the second DMR camera could be pointed towards the driver’s foot or the car’s meters to record the driver or engine performance during lapping.
HKS DMR Video Playback
The HKS DMR offers users a wide variety of playback option. Users can print event reports, adjust playback controls, toggle between main and sub screens, choose between displaying the camera image, Google Maps or Google Earth Images on the sub screen, allowing them to pinpoint exactly what’s occurred during a track (or fast road session) and why.
