Abstract
Mobile Device Video Recorders (MDVR) are used to track the motion, position and events on various types of vehicles ranging from cars to airplanes. The present invention uses a dual stage hybrid drive (DHD) which stores data on an HDD during conditions favorable to HDD operation and stores data on FMC or SSDs during conditions outside of optimal HDD operation thresholds. Recorded data from the SSD or FMC can be transferred to the HDD while the vehicle engine is off or during times of optimum HDD function while the vehicle is operating.
