Hyndsight says users can enjoy all the benefits of Journey, but with the ability to record simultaneously, while still providing real-time video stream, remote on/off capability, and high definition recording quality that can be stored on a 32 MB SD card for easy removal and downloading.

The company says Capture is comprised of a custom designed camera and monitor with a sunlight readable screen, antenna set, and two mounts in a solid case. It’s rugged, water resistant and provides a real-to-life visual field. Additionally, Hyndsight says the system provides real-time recording and video stream simultaneously through a direct wire-free connection (camera to monitor) and a clear image that can transmit up to one-third of a mile with direct line of sight.

“While Journey has enjoyed tremendous popularity in the trailer industry, many of our customers have encouraged us to develop a system that also has recording capability,” says Melissa Thompson, CEO of Hyndsight. “Obstructed vision is a major problem in the trailer industry, and Capture provides trailer drivers with a constant clear field of vision, preventing unnecessary collisions while driving and changing lanes or reversing.

“The added recording capability now provides truck drivers with an option over small dash cams that do not provide the features of Hyndsight’s systems which give drivers the peace of mind of knowing everything can be recorded while providing improved visibility for overall driver safety.”

Hyndsight adds that one of the revolutionary highlights of Capture is that it can be mounted literally anywhere with the ability to pair-up to four cameras per monitor with each camera having separate recording capability. To effectively eliminate blind spots, Capture can be positioned for both rear and side viewing on tractor trailers. It has a 3- to 4-hour battery life before charging is required or can be optionally hard-wired. Three different lens angles are integrated into one camera and can be selected with a simple push of a button, offering additional flexibility and options for use in any environment, the company says.
