DVR / NVR) for supervising the driver and passenger behavior, such as 
denying passengers, over speed, refuse to charge and careless driving

also the passengers are scared of the drivers.” obviously their worries

deaths, along with motor vehicle crashes. Whether the result of alcohol,

security cameras can provide valuable video evidence for criminal 
investigations.
