When an object collides with the vehicle during motion, the device plays out a recording that includes GPS coordinates of where the incident occurred, which is also uploaded to the cloud for evidence purposes.
The cloud-connected services of the Acer Vision360 allow all collisions that occur when parked to be video recorded and notified to the user’s smartphone. Remote viewing and location-tracking are enabled on the Vision360, which allow a user’s device to maintain data. The price and availability of the Acer Vision360 is yet to be announced.
