Five Featured Models
5: Junsun e26 (T9) Android
Features of the model: this is an extremely interesting device, reminiscent not so much of a registry as a navigator. Inside is a small computer.
Cost: 12,700.
The device in detail:
- video—1920x1080;
- visibility - 140 degrees;
- memory - 16 GB built-in + up to 64 GB flash memory (class - from 4th);
- 7-inch widescreen touch screen;
- sensors - shock (G-sensor, 3 sensitivity levels);
- and also: GPS navigation, joystick function (you can even find toys inside the “brains” of the device). There is no cyclic recording. Bluetooth, phone function (“hands-free”). Android operating system inside. FM transmitter (transmits music to the standard radio). Ability to download applications from the Play Market. Parking mode (turns on automatically when reverse gear is engaged along with LED lighting).
Fastening: Velcro-stand on the dashboard.
Country of origin: China.
Advantages of the model (from reviews)
By inserting a Navitel phone card into the device, the device can be used as a “dialer”. Also, through this card you can connect to the Internet using mobile Wi-Fi.
All in one - you can write the road, you can while away the time in a traffic jam.
The battery charge lasts for an hour. The device can be taken out of the salon and the footage can be viewed, say, in line at a store.
The device looks expensive in the car.
Disadvantages of the registrar
Car speakers cannot be connected to the device.
Instructions in English.
We also didn’t like that the device is difficult to buy in Russia, and there are few reviews about it.
...A review of this overseas toy (albeit purchased not in a Russian store, but in a Chinese one, with delivery personally to the buyer) was taken by this guy. The review includes unpacking the still sealed package, turning on the device for the first time, and even demonstrating a game (tanks) recorded in the recorder's memory. Examples of shooting the road during the day, simultaneously from two cameras, are also presented. True, it is clear to the naked eye that it is extremely difficult to see license plates on cars passing along the road in 100% bright sun:
4: Xiaomi 70mai Dash Cam A800
Features of the model: a rear view camera can be purchased additionally (Xiaomi 70mai Midriver RC06). But we have seen stores offering a ready-made kit - a camera + a second camera. If you have already bought a recorder, choosing a remote “eye” is not a problem; such electronics are sold freely in stores (the manager will tell you which one to choose).
Price: 8,990 “wooden”.
The device in detail:
- video - 4K (3840x2160);
- overview - 140 degrees. (7 glass lenses + IR filter);
- memory - support for cards up to 32 GB (but other stores indicate up to 128 GB);
- screen - 3 inches;
- shock, acceleration, motion sensors;
- and also: ADAS driver assistance system, built-in GPS (records mileage, route, coordinates of the car and memorable places - for example, accidents). Your own Wi-Fi helps you upload videos to social networks or YouTube.
Fastening: Velcro tape on glass, bolt on bracket. The lens is rotating.
Country of origin: China.
Advantages of the model (from reviews)
The picture is a song.
Ergonomic control.
ADAS and Wi-Fi are well made. And the device works without glitches.
The set includes 2 pairs of stickers (the second adhesive tape can be used either to transfer the device to another car, or if the driver made a mistake during the first installation and damaged the material).
The device has a compact body that also fits tightly to the window glass. Does not hang over the head and does not distract the driver's eyes.
The body is painted with ergonomic, matte paint. Thanks to this, there are no hand marks left on the walls of the device.
Disadvantages of the registrar
ADAS voice alerts are only in English (there are no Russian or other CIS languages). The menu is also not Russified, so if you don’t know English, it’s better to choose another car recorder.
No voice control.
A light indicator indicates the operation of the device. But this light bulb glows from below the camera - in an area that the eyes often do not notice. So, when the monitor is off, the driver may not know whether the reg is writing or not.
...The most sensible buyer review on xiaomi is in this video. The man shows the purchased device in the car, and also demonstrates the connection of the “brains” of the recorder and the smartphone and examples of any types of shooting of this recorder:
3: Aspiring Maxi 2 SpeedCam
Features of the model: recorder in the mirror.
Cost: 8,800 rubles.
The device in detail:
- video - 1920x1080, 30 frames;
- visibility - 170 degrees;
- memory - micro SD up to 64 GB;
- screen - 9.66 (touchscreen);
- sensors - G-sensor, motion;
- and also: WI-FI, GPS, ADAS. Print information in video - time, date, speed, route. Based on GPS, notifications are provided about radars located on the highway (there is a voice notification when approaching this device). Night vision.
Mounting: front camera - on top of the standard mirror, remote “eye” - on tape.
Country of origin: China (assembly), Ukraine (brand registration).
Advantages of the model (from reviews)
A convenient button to block valuable records from being erased.
Sound recording is disabled.
The video quality of the second camera is HD (better than most remote cameras).
It is possible to remotely control the controller via the Internet.
Russian-language menu (by the way, in the CIS this model is also sold in other language translations - for example, in Ukraine stores also offer a Ukrainianized menu).
The length of the power cable is 4 meters.
Wide functionality. The mirror will please geek users, young drivers and other high-tech fans.
The driver can choose what to broadcast on the monitor - an image from the rear or front camera.
Full-screen image (displayed to the width and length of the mirror - but not 100%, but with an internal frame).
The second camera detects parking lanes.
Disadvantages of the registrar
Autonomous work is rather symbolic. However, some reviews write that the battery can last up to 10 minutes, which is already relatively good.
It’s better not to skimp on the quality of a memory card by purchasing at least class 10.
No navigation mode. That is, the mirror does not show where you need to go. The device will simply record the route the car has taken.
The instructions may indicate the wrong Wi-Fi password.
In Russia, the device is difficult to buy (unless you order it from China or in a Ukrainian store).
...This video will help you evaluate the device 100%. The video shows: the advantages and disadvantages of the device from the point of view of an electronics store manager, the appearance of the mirror on both sides, working with a mobile application, informative examples of shooting during the day and at night (front camera), an assessment of the equipment.
2: XPX G565-STR
Features of the model: hybrid—“harvester” with radar detector. “Minced meat” type “two in one”. The second camera is not offered in every device configuration (it is even possible that such an improved configuration is a successful initiative of individual stores). So before ordering, carefully read the description of the selected device, and also ask the seller about the configuration!
Price: from 5,598 to 6,598 rubles. The first option is with one, the second is with two cameras.
The device in detail:
- video - 2304x1296, 30 frames (single-channel recording);
- visibility - 146 degrees;
- memory - micro SD cards up to 64 GB;
- screen - 2.4 inches;
- sensors - shock;
- and also: GPS (including radar warning), date and time stamp. Parking mode. Photo mode. Speedcam function. HDR technology improves picture quality day and night. Lane driving mode.
Second camera: video 1920x1080, 30 frames.
Fastening: suction cup.
Country of origin: Korea.
Advantages of the model (from reviews)
Solid build quality.
Correct operation of the anti-radar part (or rather, GPS with anti-radar maps in memory).
Successful steam mode: sensing something is wrong, the device records and takes photos.
Excellent recording both during the day and in the evening-night. The numbers are visible, the sound is not to complain about.
The device can provide voice notifications in Russian (but they started writing about this just a month or two ago - most likely, this is a fresh gift from the manufacturer to drivers from Russia and the CIS).
Disadvantages of the registrar
Not all of the “brains” of the device are Russified - where you view a recording, the device displays text in Korean or English.
Since the radar detector rests on a database stored in memory, portable tripods cannot be detected by the device a priori. And if the software is not updated, you can forget about the radar detector altogether.
It is difficult to connect the device to a PC (primarily due to the reluctance of the battery to live separately from the car with the engine running). And you need to connect the recorder to your computer regularly to update the database (software).
Over the course of its service, the plastic “leg” becomes loose, and in about six months it will need to be repaired or purchased a new one.
The battery does not last long in autonomous (parking) mode, very little.
...An honest review from a buyer of this model can be seen here. The video shows an assessment of the device’s operation, the “voice” of the recorder, and an example of radar detection:
And here is a segment of the shooting (city, twilight, the squeak of the camera warning about the camera):
1: Navitel R700 GPS DUAL
Features of the model: a classic device equipped with an external camera.
Cost: 7,490 rubles.
The device in detail:
- video - 1920x1080, 30 frames per second;
- visibility - 170 degrees (4 glass lenses, Sony sensor);
- memory - micro SD up to 64 GB;
- screen - 2.7 inches;
- shock and motion sensor (disabled by default; if sensors are needed, they must be found and turned on when setting up the device for the first time);
- and also: night vision technology. Wi-Fi module. Possibility of photo recording. Parking mode. GPS antenna.
Rear camera: 1280x720 (30 frames), 90 degree angle.
Mounting: a suction cup on the front camera for the front camera, the bracket has a rotating hinge (thanks to which the installed recorder can be rotated left-right and up-down). The rear camera can be placed either inside the car (on the rear window) using double-sided tape, or outside (on the license plate frame) using screws. Both of these mounts are included with the camera. In this case, the body can be rotated 130 degrees.
The weight of the device is 83 grams.
Country of origin: China (assembly of equipment), Czech Republic (country of brand registration).
Advantages of the model (from reviews)
Included is a gift voucher for Navitel Navigator software (maps of various countries). The duration of the license is one year.
The device and accessories look expensive - it’s not a shame to even buy it as a gift. The kit even includes a cloth for wiping the screen.
Power to the reg comes from the tripod.
Basic functionality (video, GPS, digital speedometer) works without glitches. The options for which, in fact, they take this device, do not let you down.
The length of the wire of the second chamber is enough to sew all these “hangers” under the casing.
The control buttons are located under the display, within easy reach.
Competent Russian interface language.
How to choose a DVR with two cameras in terms of price/quality ratio?
When choosing a suitable DVR, it is important to consider the following points:
- Video resolution . To ensure that the “picture” is as clear as possible and not blurry, experts recommend purchasing a device with a resolution of at least HD (1280×720). Modern devices record in modes from HD 720p to 4K.
- Viewing angle . The larger the viewing angle of both cameras, the more fully what is happening will be captured (full length and width), including accidents and minor incidents on the roads. The desired indicator is 360 degrees.
- Display size . A large screen is more convenient for viewing recordings in detail, but due to its impressive size, the device can create discomfort. Therefore, you need to choose a display slowly, based on your personal needs and requirements.
- Sound quality . This is one of the important criteria when an objective assessment of what is happening is important, for example, in order to prove the driver is right. If the microphone is weak or there is no noise reduction function, extraneous sounds may be present when playing the recording.
- Volume of information media . To record and save as much visual information as possible, the memory card capacity must be at least 32 GB.
- Additional functions . In addition to the basic options, the DVR can be equipped with a shock sensor, radar detector, parking mode, etc. The latter puts the camera into a sleeping state, but in the event of any events/incidents, “wakes up” the device and records what is happening around.
- Manufacturer . The more popular the brand (with a high rating and a large number of positive reviews), the better and more efficient the DVR will work.
These are the main criteria that you should pay attention to before purchasing.
What is such electronics?
More often this is a standard type recorder, but with two-channel recording, equipped with a second (remote) camera.
The most interesting thing is where to place the remote “eye”:
- on the roof (there are many options here - on an additional foot, a reflector, the back of the car roof, a rear window spoiler, and so on);
- on the rear window - the view will be “Hollywood”, but both snow and rain will begin to blind the eyepiece (although heating threads on the glass can help fight snow, but heating can cause recording glitches);
- on the trunk (for example, on the handle that opens this compartment);
- on the bumper - dirt from under the wheels can get in the way, so this installation can only be recommended to residents of cities who do not drive off the asphalt (and even then in winter, when sand is scattered on top of the ice, this camera will have its own share of dirt);
- on the additional brake light lamp (this option is good for both vans and cars of any model);
- within the radius of the number frame (but only if the numbers hang high and are not offset from the center - in the second case you will get a “squint” effect).
The advantages of such devices : they not only help with parking, but also protect against car accidents. In addition, stores offer a solid selection of models (both with basic, cheap functionality, and with full “minced meat” - GPS, Internet, even built-in games).
Disadvantages of this technology : it is often difficult to install a remote rear camera for a driver who is not very friendly with technology. You have to drive the iron horse to the service station, and this means additional costs and time. You can also find fault with the recording quality of the second camera (as a rule, they are lower than video from the front camera).
By the way: sometimes managers say that the best camera registry with a rear camera is a mirror. After all, on the wide screen of this device it is convenient to view both videos simultaneously. But we do not agree with this opinion. Firstly, in a small percentage of mirrors the screen is stretched to 100% of the glass, more often - only 3-5 inches. Secondly, user reviews praise classic devices rather than mirror ones. However, we still highlighted one overlay. This is not the best device in its “genre”, but it is worthy.
