Car DVR DV-001

On the Internet you can find lots of amateur videos on automotive topics: from funny accidents to drunken fights with GAI officers. Almost all have mobile phones with video recording capability, but the quality of shooting at them leaves much to be desired. Manufacturers of digital technology have realized that the car DVRs demand will grow and the market there are various models of driving cameras. One of the most affordable in the line of automobile recorders - DV-001, it costs ? 2500-3500. In addition to the camera kit includes the stand, wire transfer images to a TV, cable for the cigarette lighter and instruction. Memory Card SD / MMC up to 2 GB and AAA batteries sold separately. After studying a straightforward statement it becomes clear that the appliance is simple to use. In this way he and bribes - no unnecessary bloat. In size device similar to a mobile phone, but weighs half as much. Rack mounted in the car on the dashboard, but unfortunately, only once, so it is better to determine the placement registrar. The fact that the adhesive layer, which keeps stand to lose their properties after peeling. Although you can later replace the bilateral adhesive tape, but it also leaves traces of stubborn. The camera is fixed on the stand a special holder that if necessary, unscrew it. In order to continue shooting on the street the device switches to battery power from the batteries. For convenience, the camera is mounted above the lens is a special laser light, which indicates the center of the site survey. Distance to the nearest subject is about 2 meters, one has to choose - either to see the hood of his car, but then the observation will be carried out for two or three cars in front, or to shoot at eye level, but at close range in front of half a car was parked not fall into the frame . At the rear of the device there is no special screen where you can observe the filming of "live". DV-001 can be easily connected to a TV or other display with the login «TV-Out». The quality of recording virtually no criticism: the image size of 320x240 visible environment. In case of contact lens in the shade or riding in the dark picture is obscured, but if you ride with the lights on, the registration number and dimensions of vehicles, markings and other reflective objects can be seen clearly. Sharpness of the image depends on the distance of the subject - than they are farther away, the more spread out the details. At a distance of 10 meters plates can no longer be considered. Stabilization is absent, so that filming of the cars with stiff suspension, or on rough road, you get the jumping, but the image is more smooth than when you're shooting hand. Card of 2 GB is enough for the day - it is placed about 3 hours of recording. Just enough for one and half way between home and work. Small clips weigh quite a bit, for example, a 30-second spot is 2.7 MB, so, 10-minute video will weigh slightly more than 50 MB. If the card is full, the camera automatically starts recording on top of previous files, erasing them. Information from the stick can be transferred through a card reader, copy files with the extension *. avi. No additional software and codec set is not needed. After the operation, roller ready to move in the archive or download from the Web. Video recorded without sound, the original image does not indicate the time and date of the survey. Because of this, the court will be hard to prove that the video was made just at the time of the alleged violation, and not in a day. Recording on DV-001, however, like any other recorder can not be recognized as an official argument in favor of the innocence of the driver. The exception is a professional camera, but they cost a lot more expensive: a record on them can not be faked, the device is connected to the vehicle tracking speed, direction and location of the operational vehicle. All this information is given on the screen and then stays on the record. And the size of this equipment such that home for the night it did not zaberesh. We tested the DVR DV-001 is well suited for recording what is happening on the road. But he soon becomes a good substitute for the camera on a mobile phone, but to self-enhancement still falls short. We thank the company "Proline" for providing the video recorder. Text: Olga Zabelkina.
