Video VBOX Pro

A high-end in-car video system aimed primarily at motorsport professionals and driving instructors.

Video VBOX Pro is housed in an aluminium enclosure. It combines a 20Hz VBOX GPS data logger with a 4 camera video system.

• Accurate GPS logging at 10Hz/ 20Hz
• 4 video camera inputs
• 580L and 420L bullet cameras
• Up to 32 CAN channel inputs
• Logs directly to SD Card
• Robust aluminium enclosure

• Predictive Lap Timing (when used with OLED display)
• Customisable graphics
• Stereo audio recording
• Internal tank circuit for reliable recording
• Powerful driving analysis software

Instant driver feedback with the OLED display

Predictive Lap Timing gives you an invaluable insight into how your current lap time compares with your fastest lap time.

To achieve our unrivalled accuracy, we compare two different laps using GPS position rather than distance, 10 times a second. This means our lap time stays accurate, even if the driver takes a different line each lap. Read more about how it works.

The OLED display is available as an accessory or as part of a Video VBOX package. Check the online store for our attractive package deals.

Circuit Tools software is a Windows based data analysis package that comes with Video VBOX, VBOX Sport, DriftBox and PerformanceBox.

The software is designed by racing drivers, for racing drivers, with none of the complexity normally associated with analysis software.

Easy to use

To analyse your track data, simply insert the SD card with your recorded video and synchronised data into your PC and select a file.

Huge track database

The software automatically detects the country, circuit and track configuration from a database of almost 500 circuits and uses the start/finish line information to separate the laps contained in your recorded file.

The fastest lap from your latest session is automatically chosen and displayed on the graph window. The video is moved to the start of this lap. You can compare runs from this session, or from previous ones simply by clicking on the relevant lap time shown in the session window.

Lap time difference channel

Time difference or 'Delta-T' is a very useful channel that shows the lap time difference between two different laps.

Side by side video

Watch video side by side in slow motion to see the lines taken by each driver. You can move the video one sample at a time with a simple key combination.
