Examination Committee Evaluation Comments

Drive recorder is getting an item needed in unexpected scenes such as accidents in driving vehicles. Compared to the existing drive recorders, this device is valued in its well balanced and compact design of attachment, body, operation, and lens parts. The part that lens are mounted has a tubelike form to eliminate the lens directionality, and the edge of the body is also shaped like a tube to reduce a user's sense of discomfort when it is attached in a car. In addition, its shape is well thought out not to stand out to the utmost. The sizes of its indicator and of operation switch to check its running are kept down to their requisite minimum level so that they neither prevent driving nor sacrificing usability.
