Abstract
A new low light video recording system is described which can be used to document visibility conditions at nighttime accident scenes. The system includes a means for calibrating the recording and playback equipment for the prevailing illumination conditions while on location at an accident scene. Use of a hand-held grey scale chart facilitates calibration of the equipment and provides a visual check during playback. The characteristics, use and adaptability cf the system for a variety of accident reconstruction activities is described.
