DVRs rating of the 5 best models of 2017
In Russia, a DVR is a very popular thing, not a mobile phone, of course, but in no other country there is simply so much video recording on the road. It is not an easy task to figure out which DVR to buy for a car. Of course, having bought in general any over 5000 rubles, you will already have something to shoot what is happening. The idea is actually true, but you can approach this matter wisely. And so, our rating of video recorders for 2017.
Initially, we chose the 5 best models, but then we decided to keep only 3, which compete on equal terms with each other.
Data comb G5
Datakam G5 is the first on our list of registrars. This model is from the premium category. The brand is accordingly Russian, and even the device is being developed and assembled in Russia. Of the advantages of this particular camera, several points can be distinguished at once.
There are 7 high-quality lenses here instead of 5-6, as is usually the case. The video is recorded in Full HD format, the picture is very high quality - small details are clearly distinguishable, and the numbers are visible from a distance of 20 meters. The bitrate of the source is 20 megabits. In the DVR market, the Datakam G5 has the highest score in this regard.
There is also a unique filter here. It protects against glare from the sun and glare on the windshield. The lens can be easily adjusted and rotated to the desired direction.
Another point - the registrar has support for 2 Micro SD cards. For example, when one runs out of space, the video will be automatically saved to the second flash drive. The advantage will also be that you can quickly make a backup copy of one card to another, if, for example, you give one to the inspector, keep the second for yourself.
And videos can be encrypted by restricting access with a password. Plus there is a hidden shooting mode, when the gadget does not show signs of the shooting itself.
Convenient holder - its advantage is that the camera can be easily adjusted on the spot, removed and put in place. The holder is made using neodymium magnets and, in fact, there are no analogues of such a mount in the world of registrars at all. Well, indeed, a very convenient thing.
Among the other advantages, one can single out built-in navigation with all cities in the world, support not only for GPS, but also for GLONASS, and there is also a radar detector with warnings about road traffic and arrows-ST.
In general, Datakam turns out to be a kind of iPhone among registrars, that is, a model with a whole heap of various proprietary features. And by the way, the gadget is definitely for Yabloko, since only here there is a built-in player for Macs.
The cost of the registrar is about 14000 rubles. Expensive, but the solution is top-notch.
AdvoCam fd8 Gold GPS
The next in the rating of DVRs is AdvoCam fd8 Gold GPS, the name of which is difficult to remember. This is a more affordable registrar, but it is also being developed in Russia, in the Vladimir region.
This registrar stands out from the rest with a recording resolution of 2304 by 1296 pixels, which is one and a half times more than Full HD, and the maximum recording resolution from registrars today. In addition, you can write Full HD video at 60 frames per second. For example, if you need to watch such and such an object that cuts the car, then the video can be slowed down by half - we get a clearer picture.
Another good thing is that the backup is not saved on a USB flash drive, but on the internal memory of the DVR, although the memory is only 256 MB, but even this is enough for a copy.
And the last feature is LDWS technology. If the driver suddenly fell asleep at the wheel and drove off the lane, the registrar will give a loud signal.
This model costs about 10000 rubles. Although she has analogues for 7000 rubles.
Trend Vision mr-710gp
Last on our list is the Trend Vision mr-710gp. This is a new type of registrars, relatively recently they appeared on the market. It is made in the form of a conventional rear-view mirror and fits into the overall picture of the cabin. It replaces the rear-view mirror, performing its function. On the one hand, it is convenient, on the other hand, it cannot be sharply removed and turned.
So what does Trend Vision have to offer?
- First, the ability to write at 2304 x 1296 pixels and Full HD 60 frames.
- Secondly, the engineers installed here a lens of their own design with an aperture of 1.6, which means that the camera shoots well in the dark, and in strong sun it will be necessary to put on a special polarizing filter against glare, it is included in the kit.
The most important thing in Trend Vision is one of the best picture quality in the top segment. And yes, the camera eye itself can be rotated at different angles.
A useful thing is a slot for micro SD and ordinary SD cards. A large card is harder to lose or break, plus the recorder supports the exfat file system, which means even 256GB or 512GB cards will work. In this case, it will be possible to shoot forever without re-recording clips .. A couple of months for sure.
The recorder has a lot of inputs and connectors and they are recessed into the body, you can display the picture on an external monitor like in other models, and also connect an analog camera for parking.
Perhaps the only controversial point of Trend Vision is an external gps receiver, even according to this plan, the cable from the recorder to the GPS receiver from it to the cigarette lighter is not the most convenient way, but it is worth noting that the quality of signal reception is better, since the receiver is outside, so all this moment and controversial.
Well, the price - this DVR costs almost 13000 rubles.
We've picked 3 great options:
- Trend Vision for those who are satisfied with the GPS situation. And of course, on the side of this brand, there is simply excellent picture quality - one of the best on the market.
- AdvoCam is suitable for those who need a good recorder for an inexpensive and maximum resolution. Also in the brand's line there are options from 5000 rubles. up to RUB 10000
- DATAKAM is the most expensive of the three options, but that is why it is also the highest quality in terms of assembly and hardware - good optics, GLONASS, a very convenient menu and a picture with the highest bitrate to date. Plus, you can work with it on both Windows and Mac. In general, both expensive and stuffed.
