Digital video recorder

A video recorder configured to be removable mounted on a windscreen or a glass pane, comprising:

• a housing having sidewalls, including a front side and a back side, forming an enclosed internal cavity within the housing, the housing front side being substantially flat and having a window through which only an optical radiation from outside passes into the enclosed internal cavity;
• a plate having an opening substantially coinciding in its form and arrangement with the form and arrangement of the window in the front side of the housing, and having a male locking profile for interlocking with a female locking profile on the housing for abutting the plate onto the front side of the housing, the plate having an axial fixture provided at its edge for enabling pivoting motion of the housing relative to the plate,
• a gasket for fastening by a first adhesive, applied onto a first planar surface of the gasket, to the plate and fastening by a second adhesive, applied onto a second planar surface of the gasket, to the windscreen or the glass pane, the gasket having an opening substantially coinciding in its form and arrangement with a form and arrangement of the window in the front side of the housing;
• and
• a video camera arranged within the internal enclosed cavity, wherein an optical axis of video camera lens is oriented toward the window in such way that allows the video camera to acquire external optical radiation passed into the housing solely through the window and falling onto the video camera image sensor, for obtaining an image signal from the acquired external optical radiation.
