It's exciting to watch
the constant advances in the 'in car video' police dash cam
arena.
The next generation of
digital tape in-car video systems has been released by Decatur
Electronics to provide a cost-effective alternative for law
enforcement agencies demanding high quality but not high price.
The company’s Gemini
Plus II™ in-car video system uses the SONY Digital 8™ recorder to
produce from 90 to 135 minutes of high-resolution recordings. The
Gemini Plus II combines this improved tape clarity with enhanced
audio quality for an industry benchmark in evidentiary documenting
recordings. The system can be mounted in vehicles either overhead or
in a two-piece console mounting and is easily installed in under 45
minutes.
Decatur introduced the
Gemini Plus™ line of in-car video tape record systems in 2002 and
has placed more than 7,500 units in small and large police
departments across the United States. In addition to its newest
Gemini Plus II system, the company offers true hard drive digital
with its Gemini Digital line of in-car video.
“Our Gemini Plus II
meets the needs of departments wanting high quality video without
the expense of moving to the next tier of true digital,” said Greg
Roberts, Decatur’s sales manager. “This allows departments to easily
upgrade and improve their Gemini Plus systems or to move to a cost
effective but high-quality system.”
Decatur Electronics has
served the public safety sector for more than 50 years and was the
first manufacturer of law enforcement radars. It also carries a full
line of speed measurement, message trailers and a complete line of
in-car video systems.
In addition to the
trusted quality and service programs of Decatur Electronics, the
Gemini Plus II™ system features:
-
· Light Indicator –
initiates recording when emergency lights are engaged

· Brake Indicator –
records BRK on video, offering brake history

allows the Gemini Plus II to interface seamlessly with the
