Pioneer India presents a cutting-edge line of Dash Cameras from its Mobility AI portfolio that are especially made for the country of India. Pioneer’s new smart dash cameras, equipped with cutting-edge capabilities like AI Night Vision, ADAS Alerts, and Enhanced Parking Monitoring, will improve automobile safety, security, and simplicity for every car on the road through a mobile app.
Each and every Indian car owner and driver would feel more at ease with these dash cams, which were specifically built and adjusted for Indian road conditions in India, claims its official release.
A press conference was held at Hotel Lalit in New Delhi to unveil the new VREC Dash Camera series, which consists of four models: VREC-H120SC, VREC-H320SC, VREC-H520DC, and VREC-Z820DC.
The event featured live demonstrations and discussions with executives and technology leaders from Pioneer India’s new Advanced R&D center, which was established just last year.
The latest smart dash cameras from Pioneer help capture sharp, wide-angle video of the road in front of and behind you. They also offer 24/7 safety whether you’re driving or parked and provide vital evidence in case of collisions or accidents. Additionally, by monitoring driving behavior through post-analysis of the recorded film, they help prevent insurance fraud.
They not only offer comfort when driving and parking, but they also make driving more enjoyable by preserving special memories. Features including parking monitoring, continuous loop recording, and automatic recording of impact events like abrupt strong vibrations or sudden jolts are supported by all models.
A high-end dual-channel variant featuring ADAS features, broad display, AI-based night vision, and 4K video resolution is the VREC-Z820DC. It has a GPS tracker, a back camera, and the ability to record videos continuously and again.
The VREC-H520DC is a high-end variant featuring a Sony Starvis-2 image sensor, 7.6 cm IPS LCD, and 2K recording capability. It includes a 360-degree rotation for monitoring roads and can capture crisp footage in low light.
While the VREC-H120SC is an incredibly small and reasonably priced product with crystal-clear recording in 1296p, the VREC-H320SC is a mid-range model with a 7.6 cm IPS display and Full HD recording capability. 128 GB of external storage is supported.
The prices for Pioneer’s VREC-H120SC, VREC-H320SC, VREC-H520DC, and VREC-Z820DC are INR 5,399, INR 11,399, INR 18,499, and INR 23,499, respectively.
Pioneer offers an easy-to-use mobile app that makes it simple to view dash cams and offers a full user experience. Through the app, users may browse and watch recorded videos, connect the dash camera over the camera’s Wi-Fi network, and make travelogues. Through the app, users may also adjust the dash camera’s settings.
