  • Publication number: 20250131737
    Abstract: According to the present disclosure, a G value equal to or higher than threshold, which is a reference point of recording an impact event, may be bypassed at the time when a vehicle passes over a speed bump ahead on the path on which the vehicle is driving to prevent recording of impact events, so that the impact event resulting from an impact caused by the speed bump may be disregarded at the time when the vehicle passes over the speed bump after the speed bump has been perceived, thereby preventing unnecessary videos from being stored in a memory.
