ADAS Recorder & HD ADAS DVR Guide: Uses and Installation

ADAS Recorder & HD ADAS DVR Guide

With the continuous upgrading of intelligent automotive technology, the integration of on-board ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and DVR has become a new industry trend. Such devices not only record driving footage but also provide real-time danger warnings through AI algorithms, safeguarding commercial fleet management, special vehicle safety, and ordinary car owners.

Is ADAS in Dashcam Useful?

For ordinary car owners, the practical value of ADAS functions is often questioned—"Can they really prevent accidents?" In fact, their value is particularly prominent in specific scenarios:

①　High-risk scenario defense: According to NHTSA data, 90% of traffic accidents stem from human error. ADAS's Forward Collision Warning (FCW) can trigger an alert 2.7 seconds before a collision (at speeds ≥30km/h), significantly improving the accident avoidance success rate compared to human reaction speed (approximately 1.5 seconds);

②　Special industry rigid demand: Logistics company data shows that the accident rate of trucks equipped with ADAS has decreased by 43%, among which Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Blind Spot Detection (BSD) are highly effective in preventing lane-changing scratches;

③　Nighttime performance enhancement: Devices equipped with infrared sensors (such as the DSM camera of YUWEI F6) can penetrate dark environments to accurately identify drowsy driving behaviors (e.g., an alert is triggered if eyes are closed for more than 2 seconds).

Target Users:

①　Freight/ride-hailing drivers (reducing the risk of accident-related compensation);

②　New drivers (minimizing scratches caused by lack of experience);

③　Special vehicle managers (e.g., engineering vehicles and mining trucks need to meet regulatory compliance requirements).

What is a HD ADAS DVR?

An excellent ADAS DVR must balance functionality and reliability, with its core technologies reflected in three key dimensions:

1. Image Acquisition: See Clearly and Understand Accurately

①　Multi-channel HD input: Supports 6-channel 1080P analog video access (compatible with AHD/CVBS), and achieves a 50% improvement in storage compression ratio through H.265+ encoding—an industry-standard 128GB card can record up to 24 hours of 4K footage;

②　Dynamic capture capability: The DSM camera adopts 940nm infrared fill light technology, enabling recognition of the driver's facial expressions (e.g., yawning, smoking) even in complete darkness with a false alarm rate of less than 3%;

③　AI algorithm iteration: Supports identification of over 20 dangerous behaviors, including looking down at mobile phones (recognition distance of 2 meters) and hands off the steering wheel (an alert is triggered after 3 consecutive seconds).

2. Data Security: Preserve Irrefutable Evidence and Ensure Compliance

①　Tamper-proof design: Utilizes a proprietary streaming media file system that prevents data modification after writing, meeting judicial forensics standards;

②　Dual backup mechanism: Supports dual storage (SD card + built-in SSD) combined with UPR power-off continuous recording function, which automatically saves the last 10 seconds of critical footage in case of unexpected power failure;

③　Remote retrieval: Enables real-time video transmission via 4G network, allowing fleet managers to check vehicle status (e.g., speeding, drowsy driving alerts) at any time.

3. Environmental Adaptability: Stable Operation in All Scenarios

①　Industrial-grade protection: The entire device features IP67 protection (waterproof and dustproof) and can withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -30℃ to 70℃, adapting to harsh environments such as high/low temperatures, high humidity, and salt spray;

②　Low-power design: With an average power consumption of only 24W, it supports zero-power sleep mode. After the vehicle is turned off, only the GPS + ADAS monitoring functions are retained to extend battery life;

③　Anti-interference technology: The distance between the communication antenna and the positioning antenna is ≥50cm to avoid signal crosstalk, ensuring normal operation even in weak signal areas (e.g., underground garages).

Can I Install ADAS in My Car?

Step 1: Confirm the Vehicle Power Supply System

①　Voltage range: Must be compatible with 9-32V wide-voltage input (12V vehicles require additional fuses, and 24V vehicles need voltage reduction modules);

②　Power stability: It is recommended to install Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes to prevent device damage caused by voltage fluctuations.

Step 2: Evaluate Installation Space and Viewing Angle

(1) Camera layout:

①　Front-facing ADAS camera: Install directly above the windshield (3-5cm away from the roof) with a horizontal viewing angle covering more than 50 meters ahead;

②　DSM camera: Install hidden inside the rearview mirror to avoid reflection interference;

(2) Antenna deployment: The GPS/Beidou antenna must face upward without obstruction (it is recommended to attach it to the top of the windshield), and the 4G antenna should be kept away from metal shielding areas (e.g., spare tire compartment).

Step 3: Function Adaptation and Debugging

①　Calibration: The camera must be calibrated with a 3D calibration tool (such as the dedicated calibration bracket provided by YUWEI) during initial installation;

②　Rule customization: Parameters such as drowsy driving thresholds (e.g., continuous eye-closing duration) and lane departure warning sensitivity can be set;

③　OTA upgrade: Regularly update the algorithm library via the cloud to adapt to new regulations (e.g., adding electric vehicle cross-traffic warning functions).

Ultimate Recommendation: YUWEI F6 HD ADAS DVR
