[Introduction]
Tail boasts that he is an old driver, and his driving experience of 10 years is not short. However, with the increasing number of vehicles in the third tier small cities, he shuttles to and from work every day in the rolling traffic stream, grabs the road with bicycles and electric vehicles running in the motorway, and also avoids pedestrians crossing the road. Driving is convenient for life and tiring for both body and mind.
In the past 10 years, I have also been chased by others. Although I was lucky not to be touched by porcelain, I had the sad experience of being corrupted by illegal electric vehicles. Therefore, the DASH CAM has become the standard configuration for drivers. In fact, is this the progress of science and technology? Or the sadness of the heart?
Back to the point, Tail was lucky to experience the Polar Traveler's DASH CAM at Play 100 this time. In general, under the concept of Internet+, it is different from the traditional DASH CAM. It is not only a record, but also an unforgettable moment, which can be shared and spread at the flick of a finger.
The Polar Traveler DASH CAM is currently being crowdfunded. From the crowdfunding perspective, the price should be more than 379 yuan. The specific dimensions, hardware and technical parameters are shown in the figure below, which is convenient for more intuitive and rational reading of the following experience text. ▼
[Routine Unpacking]
At present, the packaging of digital products is popular with minimalist packaging design. Taili likes this kind of treatment very much. It is simple, with clear signs, and products and accessories are placed in different areas. What should be said and displayed is put in the instructions. In order to open the second layer of box easily, Polar travelers specially designed grab belts on both sides of the inner box. At the same time, there is also a humanistic feeling. A three-dimensional card is put in the package. I like the words "record, restore, witness and accompany your life", which is also the duty of the DASH CAM. ▼
There are a lot of accessories for Polar Passengers. The camera body, the bracket for fixing Polar Passengers, the vehicle power adapter, the power cord, the wireless remote control, the manual and other text materials, the clips for fixing the power cord, the fixed bracket and the clips, and the double-sided adhesive tape for the remote control are well considered. ▼
[Chatting]
The tail said at the beginning of the experience article that it felt that the extremely passers-by were different from the traditional tachographs. Why would they judge this way?
On the one hand, Jiluke's appearance is quite high. Most of the traditional tachographs are square shaped, which is a bit rigid and old-fashioned. The cylindrical capsule appearance adopted by Geeluke can attract eyeballs at the first sight. The big eyes on the front are the 156 degree diagonal wide angle camera, which can see the largest scene outside the A pillar. Below the camera is the security indicator light, which indicates the security status. This function requires the purchase of a battery step-down line to continuously supply power to the equipment, and vehicle monitoring is carried out through "one beat per second" during parking. The tail thinks that the security function is not very practical. After all, it can only be used to monitor in front of the car. If the car is stolen, it will be useless to take photos of it. It is more suitable for monitoring the behaviors of bad people such as rowing and stealing tires. ▼
On the side circumference of the capsule shape, there are corresponding long speaker openings on both sides, short speaker openings in the middle, green power indicator light and red recording indicator light, which display different states by constantly on and off. ▼
The wireless indicator light is on the top of Polar Passengers, and it flashes and lights constantly through blue light to indicate whether the mobile phone is connected. ▼
The strip opening at the end is the MicroSD card slot. A 16G Class10 TF card is attached with the card. It can record 1080P video for about 200 minutes, and it is a cyclic recording. Therefore, 16G is enough. However, since 1080P video files are large, it is recommended to choose TF cards with fast read/write speed. The two circular openings are the power interface and reset button. From the appearance of the capsule, we can see that the seams and openings are very neat, and the workmanship of Geeluke is relatively good. ▼
The tail quite agrees with this capsule shape. Apart from its good looks, this shape can be well hidden behind the rear-view mirror, and the dash cam can hardly be seen in the car. If the 3.5M long power line is hidden along the roof, A-pillar and glove box with the attached fixed line clip, the car will be cleaner. ▼
When it comes to installation, Polar Passengers did not use suction cups, but directly designed an annular bracket, which was glued to the windshield with 3M adhesive. It was verified that the adhesive was very solid. 360 ° rotation adjustment and positioning can be carried out by matching the bracket lock catch with the ring mounting slot on the polar passenger aircraft body. ▼
There is also a wireless remote control, which is also directly fixed to the place where you can use 3M glue, such as the steering wheel or the control panel. By pressing the button of the wireless remote control, Polar Passengers will automatically save the video images from the first 6 seconds to the next 6 seconds, and then transmit them to the mobile app through WIFI for browsing and sharing. ▼
At the same time, two USB interfaces are designed for the vehicle power adapter of Polar Passengers. Through the test, it can output 5.17V and 1.11A current, so that when using Polar Passengers, it can also charge a digital device, which is very user-friendly. ▼
The above is the part of appearance that is different from the traditional tachograph. On the other hand, Geeluke APP makes it more than just a record, giving it a shared life. Of course, thanks to the connection between APP and mobile phones, Geeluke has not designed a display screen, which also helps to achieve a high appearance. As for the display screen, the tail's point of view is that it can't be used. The display screen on the body is too low and the effect is not good. Moreover, Dulele is not as good as Zolele. After the Wifi connection, the mobile phone has a larger screen, better display effect and more joint functions. ▼
Go back to the APP. You can add the WeChat official account by scanning the QR code in the user manual, and then download the Geeluke APP from there. It is recommended to scan and download the QR code directly. It is too cumbersome now. For the first use after registration, it is necessary to establish a WIFI connection between the Polar Traveler and the mobile phone. The waiting time for the first time is a little long. Through the test by turning off the WLAN and data traffic on the mobile phone, the Wi Fi connection is that the Polar Passengers APP has turned on the hotspot function on the mobile phone. In fact, Polar Passengers connect to the Wi Fi hotspot on the mobile phone. ▼
Geeluke APP can be shared by users, and non users can also watch videos shared by users. Through the discovery button, watch the popular videos that users spread to the Internet, as well as the popular live broadcast in the square, exposure platform, porcelain talent, road scenery, casual shooting, big accident exposure, traffic jam warning, very dangerous, crazy overtaking, touching moments, positive energy transmission and other 11 columns of videos. In use, in addition to the popular live broadcast, there are many videos uploaded in the other ten columns. The "See the World" button should be designed to be similar to the live broadcast. You can find users on the map and watch their videos, but no users are found on the map. After all, it is a new product, and the user base is too small. I believe that with the continuous increase of users, the content will be more abundant. ▼
The button in the middle is the core function. After connecting to the Polar Traveler, you can preview the image, file management, video sharing and recorder settings. There are still many settings available. ▼
In file management, you can see three types of videos, and you can download, delete, and other editing operations. Cyclic video is the video recorded in TF, which is automatically divided into three minutes or less for downloading to mobile phones. However, after a test, it is still relatively smooth to use the mobile phone to connect, but to download to the mobile phone, more than 100 megabytes of video takes 3 minutes. If you want to save important videos to the computer, it is recommended to use a card reader; Wonderful videos are shared videos recorded by wireless remote control; Emergency video is a three-axis acceleration sensor built in for polar passengers, which can automatically save the video in the safety directory in case of emergency braking, collision, etc., and will not be overwritten due to cyclic recording. I hope you don't use this. Driving safety is the most important. ▼
If you like to share wonderful moments, you can use the share button to share the short video recorded by the wireless remote control or the share button in the APP. You can also directly launch webcasts and tell you the traffic that will be consumed, which is really not a small amount. You should use it carefully without large traffic packets. One more thing, I don't know whether the webcast has been used for a short time. Although the APP has displayed the correct current address in text, the map below has not been replaced correctly. ▼
[Actual video effect]
Of course, the business of tachograph is recording, and the video clarity at critical moments is very important. The tail selects video clips from night, day and evening to visually display the 1080P video recording effect of Polar Passengers. In general, the video quality is still subject to conditions, such as high-speed driving at night, direct sunlight during the day, and so on. See the video below for details.
Time: 21:11 at night, scene: National Highway ▼
Time: 11:28 noon, scene: urban ▼
Time: 17:34 p.m. Scene: urban ▼
[Last words]
Advantages: 1. High appearance; 2. Compact, can be hidden behind the rearview mirror; 3. The sharing ecology is well established and highly playable; 4. Good workmanship and details.
Suggestions: 1. The quality of APP and mobile phone transmission and video needs to be further optimized. 2. The instructions should be more user-friendly. For example, the wrong installation of the connection direction between the buckle and the fuselage will result in a 360 degree mediation effect. There is also the direction of the clip sticking to the windshield. The wrong video is installed in the opposite direction. 3. It would be better if the APP could automatically turn off the hotspot of the phone after exiting again.
