ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an impact triggering mechanism for a camera mounted on a rear-view mirror of a vehicle. The impact triggering mechanism provides a unidirectional mechanical output in response to inertial forces from any horizontal direction. Upon sudden impact or deceleration an inertia member connected to the camera depresses the shutter release button on the camera, which the button actuates the shutter in the camera and takes a photographic picture.
