HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. and
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LVCC, CENTRAL
HALL, BOOTH 10404/10415 – VOXX Electronics Corp (VEC), a newly
formed wholly-owned subsidiary of VOXX International Corp. (NASDAQ:
VOXX), announced that the Company is expanding its offerings in the
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) category with the
introduction of an innovative Driving Video Recorder (DVR), all new
Multi-view Camera system and affordable add–on Parking Sensors
solutions.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems are designed to provide
essential information and automate complex or repetitive tasks,
leading to an overall increase in driver situational awareness and
safety. With the push from government for greater on-the-road
safety and ever-increasing interest from automakers and consumers
to have innovative safety features, the ADAS market is considered
one of the fastest growing segments in automotive electronics.
According to recent industry reports, the global ADAS market will
grow at a CAGR of 22.59 percent over the next 2 years. And among
the major trends the market is seeing is the increasing deployment
of ADAS in lower-cost cars and add-on aftermarket systems.
Tom Malone, President of VOXX
Electronics Corp, commented, "The global market for Advanced Driver
Assistance Systems has grown significantly in recent years, as
automakers enhance the safety technologies in their vehicles based
on marketplace and governmental demands. We were one of the first
companies in the aftermarket to provide safety accessories as part
of our product offerings and we now have an aggressive roadmap to
expand the product offerings to grow our automotive business."
Malone continued, "On display at the show is our first DVR Event
Recorder as well as an expanded line of parking sensors and new
camera systems. Looking ahead to 2014 we have several product
plans in development that will expand our ADAS offerings into new
categories such as lane departure products, blind spot detection
and forward crash warning systems."
- HD Driving Video Recorder (DVR): Positioned on the
windshield just behind the rear view mirror, the VOXX DVR is always
in stand by mode ready to record non-stop any event such as an
accident or interesting, fun experiences during your travels.
Should you have an accident, the new DVR700 HD event recorder is
always recording and the built in G sensors automatically lock the
currently recorded section from 1 minute before to 3 minutes after
the incident that triggered the system. This ensures that the
event cannot be erased or recorded over. The recording lock can
also be triggered manually if the driver wants to capture something
dangerous on the road or simply wants to ensure they save that
recording for viewing at a later time. The system features a
built-in rechargeable battery and supports Micro SD Cards up to
32Gb allowing up to 16 hours of continuous recording. Included is a
cigarette lighter adapter and direct wire power cable with video
output connection. The DVR700 HD delivers 720p resolution
(1280*720) and is only 1.5" x 2.5" in size with a flat black finish
to make it very discrete.
- Parking Sensors: New lower-cost sensors have been
developed to address the needs of the entry-level market. Advanced
backup sensors feature 4 sensor systems for plastic bumper
installation. The package includes sensors, cables, module, drill
bit, and display or speaker. The Company's latest parking assist
systems also come with the options of 4 sensors, buzzer and 18.5mm
hole saw (PSB110) or 4 sensors, dual-color LED display and drill
bit (PSB120 ). Both offerings feature a 7.5ft sensor wire and black
paintable sensor. They can be used as 2-sensor systems; have a
self-test function; and detachable sensor with waterproof
connector.
- Camera Systems: VOXX's latest Multi-view Backup and
Import Style Backup Cameras provide greater versatility.
Specifically, the Multi-view Backup Camera comes with more
cutting-edge capabilities at a lower price than other offerings in
the market. It features a selectable down, behind, wide, and split
corner view. The camera also offers a digital 190-degree view and
digital image correction which translates into a crisp, clear and
straight picture at all angles. This versatile camera solution has
2 mounting systems – a VOXX patented license plate mount and
surface mounting brackets– and is the only industry offering with a
microphone and swappable mirror function. Additionally, the Import
Style Backup Camera (CAM345) features 9 selectable parking lines;
high resolution; waterproof housing; 160 degree wide view angle;
selectable image – normal/reverse; low profile OEM style mount; and
built-in microphone.
