BMW
Drive
Recorder
Principle
The
BMW
Drive
Recorder
stores
brief
video
re#j cordings
of
the
vehicle
surroundings,
e.g.,
to
document
surrounding
traffic.
General
information
There
are
various
ways
for
storing
video
record#j
ings:'xAutomatic
storage
of
the
recording.
The
function
allows
the
documentation
of
the
event
of
an
accident.'xManual
storage
of
the
recording.
The
function
allows
the
documentation
of
traffic
situations.
The
system
records
up
to
20
seconds
before
and
after
the
activation
of
the
storage.
Cameras
of
the
assistance
systems
are
used,
for instance
Panorama
View.
Additionally,
the
following
parameters
are
stored
for
the
trip:
'xDate.'xTime.'xVehicle
speed.'xGlobal
Positioning
System
coordinates.
Data
protection
The
permissibility
of
recording
and
using
video
recordings
is
contingent
upon
the
statutory
regu#j
lations
of
the
country
in
which
the
system
is
to
be
used.
The
user
is
responsible
for
the
use
of
the
system
and
compliance
with
the
respective
regulations.
The
manufacturer
of
the
vehicle
recommends
confirming
there
are
no
statutory
or
regulatory
constraints
on
use
of
the
system
in
your
state
or country
prior
to
the
initial
use.
In
addition,
the
laws
with
respect
to
use
of
the
system
should
be
verified
in
regular
intervals,
especially
when
bor#j
ders
are
frequently
crossed.
Other
drivers
of
the
vehicle
must
be
informed
about
the
system.
In
addition,
information
about the
system
is
required
when
handing
off
the
ve#j
hicle.

To
do
this,
quickly
apply
extra
