Abstract: A drive recorder attains scenic images surrounding a vehicle or images inside a vehicle chamber in a specific direction, as being useful for verifying a cause of an accident. As an impact sensor detects an occurrence of an accident, a control unit displays an image by an on-vehicle camera on a screen of a display. Accordingly, a user is able to quickly record target objects that supposedly help to verify the cause of the accident, such as the vehicle running into from behind and running away, a traffic light, a traffic marking and so forth, by simply turning a photographic direction of the on-vehicle camera toward the target objects, with a simple operation on a touch panel, even in an emergency.
