  • Mechanical shock mitigation for data storage
    Patent number: 9823859
    Abstract: A device adapted to capture vehicle data or surveillance data that includes a disk and a Non-Volatile Solid-State Memory (NVSM). The vehicle or surveillance data is received in a buffer of the device for storage on the disk, and an input is received indicating a level of mechanical shock. It is determined whether the input indicates the level of mechanical shock exceeds a first threshold indicative of an impact. If the input indicates the level of mechanical shock exceeds the first threshold, the vehicle or surveillance data is stored in the NVSM from the buffer and a status is determined for storing data on the disk.
