Questions
Is RoadEye a product I can buy?
Not yet. RoadEye will be sold as a complete device: the camera, the screen and the stand, set up and ready to mount, with nothing to assemble or install. Leave your email and you will hear when it ships.
Which signs does it read?
US regulatory signs (speed limits, stop, yield, no turns and the like), stop signs and warning signs (curves, merges, school zones, signals ahead, pedestrians, deer and more). Speed limit signs are read for their number.
Does it need the internet while driving?
No. Detection, the map, the speed limits and turn-by-turn navigation all run on the device. It goes online, when it can, only to check for updates and to fetch map tiles it has not seen.
Does it work at night?
Yes. A night model takes over when the light goes, and the screen has a night look so it does not glare.
Does it send my data anywhere?
No. Sign photos, dash camera clips and logs stay on the device. There is no account and no cloud. Searching for a destination is sent from your phone to a public map search, never from the device.
Can it tell me about police?
It can give a heads-up when a marked police vehicle is in front of you and near enough to show its markings. It cannot know an unmarked car, so it is never an all-clear.
Where does it work?
The signs are US signs, and the map speed limits and offline routing are set up for a region at a time (Texas today, another state after a while there). Other regions are a matter of data, not code.
What power does it need in the car?
A 5 V, 5 A supply. Most USB-C car chargers give 3 A, and the camera stops or the device restarts on those, so use a 12 V to 5 V 5 A converter with a USB-C output.
