We aimed to use this app for day-to-day drive easily without constraint pursuing bare and really necessary functions thoroughly as a drive recorder. This drive recorder has the following functions. a. It has two modes; the continuous recording mode and the latest recording mode that retains about 2 or 5 minutes long of the most recent recording. b. It offers three recording qualities; high quality, medium quality and low quality. c. The recording quality can correspond to the performance of each iPhone from iPhone4S to the latest. d. It marks all frames of the recording with the time and date and the longitude and latitude. e. It can record using rear camera or face camera by switching them. f.

To playback saved drive recorder video. n. Eco-mode It offers the continuous recording mode. It can keep all recording of the drive from departure to arrival in continuous recording mode.If you use it securely without worrying about recording capacity when the remaining memory capacity is small, you can select the latest recording mode. The recording quality can be automatically controlled corresponding to the CPU’s performance of each iPhone model; and beside you can also select three (low, medium, high) recording qualities. It marks all frames of recorded video with the time and date and the longitude and latitude. Since the video copied in the camera roll also has time and location information, you can reproduce and display the time and date and the longitude and latitude without depending on the playback application. iPhone is equipped with two cameras; one as rear camera(the back of LCD) and other as face camera(LCD side). You can record using rear camera or face camera by switching them. The rear camera is assumed to take an image of the front direction of the car and the face camera takes the direction of the rear car. When you shoot backward, it is usually too difficult to distinguish the image of the outside of the car because of the difference of the inside and outside brightness of the car. As this app can adjust the brightness of the rear video manually, it makes possible to distinguish the image by continuing to tap the bright part of the outside image. When the iPhone catches a strong impulse, it stops recording in one minute after the impulse. You can keep a recorded video before and after the impulse. As the recording capacity is being displayed at all times, you can monitor the capacity. The video file is made in the memory area of this app at first. When you tap the play button, it plays back the video file in the memory.The memory area of this app is overwrote every recording. This application uses following OSS.

Even if you get strong impulse, there could be some possibility not to stop recording. The operation may become unstable because the iPhone body gets very hot if it is exposed to direct sunlight.
