Core Features & Hardware Analysis
Sony IMX678 STARVIS 2 Optical Performance
The integration of the flagship Sony IMX678 STARVIS 2 image sensor on the front channel provides advanced low-light performance. Operating with increased pixel sensitivity and reduced digital image noise, the PG17 Pro captures sharp forensic details—such as vehicle license plates, registration stickers, and pedestrian facial features—in challenging low-lux environments where standard sensors struggle.
Dual-Channel HDR (High Dynamic Range)
Both the front-facing 4K camera and the rear-facing 2.5K camera utilize Dual HDR exposure balancing. This system prevents image overexposure ("whiteout") from trailing high-beams at night and underexposure ("blackout") when transitioning through tunnels or underpasses, ensuring consistent, legally viable evidence across both channels under rapid lighting transitions.
12-Inch Anti-Glare IPS Digital Mirror
The device features a high-transmittance 12-inch IPS touchscreen with an integrated anti-glare optical coating. This widescreen digital display projects a continuous, wide-angle stream of the rear-facing camera, bypassing physical vehicle obstructions like rear headrests or luggage. Drivers can instantly toggle views or access device settings using capacitive swipe controls on the screen.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
The PG17 Pro serves as an active safety assistant by running real-time optical analysis of the road. The built-in ADAS safety algorithms analyze lane markers and surrounding traffic, delivering instant audible driver alerts for Lane Departure Warnings (LDW), Forward Collision Warnings (FCW), and Pedestrian Proximity Warnings to help prevent accidents before they occur.
Advanced Connectivity & Security
-
High-Speed 5.8GHz WiFi: Operating on a dedicated 5.8GHz wireless transmission protocol, the PG17 Pro downloads recorded files to your smartphone via the AZDOME companion app up to five times faster than standard 2.4GHz legacy bands.
-
Built-in GPS Telemetry: The external GPS antenna logs real-time vehicle speed, coordinates, and routes, embedding precise telemetry data directly into the video files to support insurance claims and legal disputes.
-
Local Voice Commands: Supports hands-free voice commands—including "Take Photo," "Lock Video," and "Show Front Camera"—enabling essential controls without requiring the driver to remove their hands from the steering wheel.
-
24/7 Intelligent Parking Mode: When integrated with the optional 3-wire hardwire kit, the system monitors the vehicle's surrounding environment when the ignition is turned off. It records continuous low-bitrate time-lapse footage or triggers event recording upon G-sensor physical impact detection.
Target Applications
-
Commercial Vans & SUVs: Completely restores rear visibility by replacing a physically obstructed rearview mirror view with an uninterrupted external 2.5K digital rear stream.
-
Rideshare & Commuter Vehicles: Provides high-definition front and rear legal protection, complete with speed and location logging, to neutralize fraudulent insurance claims.
-
Night & All-Weather Drivers: Dual HDR neutralizes wet road glare, heavy fog, and headlight exposure, ensuring clear rearward visibility in adverse driving conditions.
