The Stack VCR Video-logger transforms your in-car video system into a powerful data logging system without the need for a PC. Real-time performance data is overlaid on the video picture along with engine parameters and driver activity channels. User-configurable alarm conditions ensure that all instances of where such conditions are exceeded, such as over-revs, low pressures or high temperatures, etc., are quickly and reliably found.

You can now see your RPM, speed, gear, throttle angle and brake pressure for every point on the track. Note your maximum speeds in the straights and minimum speeds through each corner. And our patented Performance Meter and Predicted Lap Time displays enable you to see exactly where time has been gained or lost on the track compared to the fastest lap to date. Click here for an explanation of how our predictive lap timing works. The lap number and lap time aid in navigating through the video, while the lap distance channel enables the same spot on the track to be identified, for accurate lap-to-lap comparison.
Like all Stack products, the difference is in the details. You can configure the system to start and stop the video recorder automatically*, ensuring video and data are always recorded. Alarms for temperatures and pressures can be configured to pop-up on the video display. The unique Alarm Counter display enables you to instantly check the end of the recording to determine how many alarms, if any, have occurred, and to rapidly locate each alarm using the video jog/shuttle. And when the engine stops, the display automatically changes to display the peak values for each channel e.g. maximum temperatures and minimum pressures, allowing for instant review when the car comes in.
The Stand-Alone VCR Video-logger connects between the remote mounted camera and the video recorder. It has dedicated sensor inputs for RPM, Speed, 2 temperatures, 2 pressures, throttle angle, and brake pressure (or brake switch). It also monitors lateral-G, long-G and battery volts internally. The system is easily configured using on-screen menus on the video recorder and a plug-in 3-switch box - without the requirement of a PC!

Video-Logger Expansion Systems
The Video-logger Expansion System connects between the remote mounted camera and the video recorder. The only other connection is a single 4 way connector to the CANBus network on the existing harness of a Stack display, steering wheel, or logging system. This provides both power for the system and data for RPM, Speed, 2 temperatures, 2 pressures, lateral-G, battery volts and lap times, saving on the duplication of sensors and simplifying installation. The system is easily configured using on-screen menus on the video recorder and a plug-in 3-switch box - without the requirement of a PC!

User-configurable Alarm Conditions
The User-configurable Alarm Conditions enable the driver to identify vehicle parameters which should correctly operate within specified ranges. In the event of this operational range being exceeded an alarm will be raised to alert the driver. The example displayed below of the video overlay image shows an alarm condition for a Low Oil Pressure warning.
