[Preface]
since In recent years, the hot topic of porcelain bumping in the news has started frequently. Every day, you drive carefully on the road. Whether you drive in the crowded downtown or the outer ring road with few traffic, you drive on the road with the spirit of watching and hearing from all directions, fearing that a porcelain bumping will rush out in any direction when you are not careful. Although we can call the police when we encounter porcelain bumps, and now there are surveillance cameras everywhere on the roads in the city, our time is still precious. It's always a shame to waste time entangled with such people and things. So it has been a long time since I wanted to install a DASH CAM on my car, but I couldn't find a suitable one after I chose it. Either the appearance is too low or the function is too poor. In short, a lot of DASH CAM have been eliminated. In the end, there was nothing I could do. In a flash of inspiration, I installed the sports camera at the bottom of the box for a long time to make do with the facade. Otherwise, I would not dare to drive on the road without installing a tachograph. Although the shooting quality of the sports camera is very good, it can't be started with the car, can't be turned off, and it is a test of the length of your arm to use. Every day when you get on the car, you have to stretch your arm to switch the camera, which is crazy. The most painful thing is the static electricity in winter. Every time you turn on or off, the sparks can be seen with your eyes. It's painful to use it for a long time, but I have to use it, alas.. Don't talk about it, let's start to experience it.
[Unpacking]
first With a happy heart, I started this experience.

The packaging box is the most commonly used paper hard box for digital products at the moment. The color is all black, and the design idea is minimalist. The logo of ROCK is printed on the top of the box cover with hot silver, and the same logo on the side is marked with "Tianyan Intelligent DASH CAM" in Chinese. No other decoration, clean and simple. At the bottom of the back is a sticker, the same black, which indicates some parameters of the product. The package also included a 16GTF card with the speed of CLASS ⑩. The description said that the video recording in HD 1080P format requires a card with the speed of CLASS ⑩ or above to ensure smoothness and clarity. Buy a machine and send a card, do it conscientiously!

It is very simple to open the box cover. The three components, from left to right, are the recorder camera body, the AutoBot smart magic wand (that is, the vehicle USB interface), and the rotating magnetic bracket (also the power interface). The AutoBot smart magic wand is not simply a USB power supply device inserted in the cigarette lighter slot. It is much more useful. The great use of this magic wand will be described in detail later. With this magic wand, the DASH CAM can play its greatest role.
Appearance
rose gold It can be said that the metal shell is full of texture. The frosted metal surface adopts aluminum alloy anodizing process, which is very similar to the new fruit mobile phone. This small recorder meets my aesthetic requirements very much. The camera of the main recorder is square design, with plastic material at the front and back, but the touch is not hard plastic, so it has skin like treatment, The texture is not reduced but increased. The side is an integrated rose gold metal shell. The connection frame is designed to be round and can be bent 360 degrees. The elevation angle and depression angle can be adjusted at will. The design of metal paint spraying is adopted, which is integrated with the appearance of the host. The design technology of a circle is full. The camera used in the host is an imported Sony CMOS photosensitive chip, which supports the recording of high-definition 1080P video. It is easy to see the license plate number clearly.
The AutoBot smart magic wand is a black skin like plastic shell with a silver metal ring on the top and LOGO printed on it. The metal ring is also sanded. The AutoBot smart magic wand also provides 2 and USB output interfaces, one for Android phones and the other for IOS phones. Cooperate with the host to connect the mobile phone Bluetooth APP to realize rich functions such as electronic dog, track recording, parking time reminder, overspeed alarm, parking photos, etc.
The connection between the bottom of the host and the bracket is magnetic suction type, and the host can be removed for storage when it is not needed. Four metals at the connection are electrocuted, and the buckles are all made of metal to ensure no wear and deformation after multiple removal and installation.
  The left side of the host is the LOGO of ROCK, and the right side is the slot of TF card. The slot is designed to be locked by pressing. TF card insertion is automatically locked at the bottom. The tail of the card does not protrude, and it is just on the same horizontal line with the shell, ensuring the beauty and integrity of the inserted card.
A switch button is designed on the back of the host to manually turn off the recorder when the recorder is not in use. Below the button is the speaker. Three indicators are designed on the top, which are normally on, flashing and off according to different states after power on. From left to right are WIFI signal indicator, power indicator and video status indicator. On the left side of the three indicators, a RESET restore key is designed to facilitate one key restore.
The support also has 4 electric shocks corresponding to the host connection, and the clips are made of steel. The workmanship is very meticulous, and no flaws or stubbles can be found. It can be said that the quality control did a good job.
The mainframe and the bracket are connected together, and the square and round design seems to have no sense of disharmony. People who do not know why would think it is an integrated design.
Installation
That's it Start installing the appearance. It may be difficult for many people to install it. The most troublesome thing about the DASH CAM is its wiring. If the wiring is not good, it will not be beautiful and convenient to use. I belong to the camp with strong hands-on ability, so I started to install after doing some homework in advance. The materials to be purchased separately are interior wiring buckle sets with a little 3M glue. I bought the wiring kit directly on the Internet. A crowbar used for wiring prying is attached with 8 clips. Before installing Locke, it is necessary to remove the previous position of the sports camera. It was not intended to use it before, so a quick release buckle was hastily installed on the sports camera. The base was directly pasted to the dashboard with 3M glue. When not in use, the quick release can be removed once. The only thing is that the sports camera cannot be started or turned off with the car. Every day when getting on and off the car, the camera must be turned on and off, and the recorded video has no date and time tag. This is not very convincing when video data is used as evidence. Moreover, it is not very beautiful to stick it on the dashboard in this way. The wiring is also a problem. It is stuck on the surface of the dashboard without hidden wiring, which affects the beauty. So without saying a word, dismantle!
When you say "do it", you can do it. When you take apart a pile of accessories and tools, the car is in a mess. If it's a little messy, it's better. People who make great achievements don't stick to small details. After installation, they will be comfortable. The removed sports camera lies there quietly. It wants to be quiet...
  First, connect the host and bracket of the recorder.
After the mainframe is connected to the bracket, find a suitable installation position to stick the bracket. To find a position that does not block the line of sight and allows the recorder to obtain the best angle of view, also consider the position that is convenient for wiring. It's about the right place to swing around. Tear off the protective film of 3M adhesive on the base and press it hard. The location is determined.
First, power up to see how the position is. I slightly adjusted the angle. It's good. The position is just right. The left and right wide angles are very good. The pitch angle has also been properly adjusted. Here's the key point. Route!
You won't experience the integration of strength and beauty in the car wiring without crossing the line. It takes a lot of strength and endurance to hide all the wires into the cracks of the windshield. Although it's not dirty and tiresome, the force required by your fingers can make you cramp, but you can't use brute force. This is behind the windshield, It was too late to cry when the seams of the windshield were damaged by careless efforts. Therefore, the wiring process is a test of strength and patience. I was sweating when it was 20 degrees below zero outside the car. However, after about 20 minutes of fighting, the wiring was completed perfectly. The drawback is that if the additional power cord is longer than 20cm, the end can be more generous. The current state is that when the line goes to the central armrest box, the line will rise a little. If the front cigarette lighter is in the right position, there is still room for the line.
After installation, the instrument panel is clean from the outside or the inside, and there is no trace of wiring. Now that the installation is over, download a mobile app and connect it, and go for a ride.
[Usage]
Android Or the IOS system mobile phone can go to the application market to find AutoBot. After downloading, enter the system. First select the device to be set. Start with the host recorder, plug in the smart magic wand, turn on the mobile phone's Bluetooth, search for matching, and at the same time, the mobile phone's WIFI also needs to be turned on. The initial WIFI password of AUTOBOT searched is 12345678, and the connection is successful. Enter the system.

The special track recording function can recall many beautiful places you have been to.
It supports the review of WIFI videos that need not be downloaded, or you can choose to download and save them to your mobile phone. There is also the function of driving status display, such as current altitude, average speed, journey traveled, elapsed time, etc... The shock start function can also be set when parking to ensure the safety of your car when parking outdoors. Functions can be said to be very rich and considerate.
After the mobile phone is connected to the host's WIFI, you can watch the picture in real time, pause the recording with the mobile phone, modify the recording resolution, and take real-time screenshots.
Take a screenshot of the night vision function to see the clarity of the record in the night vision situation. The details of the picture record are very rich. It can be seen that the high sense performance of Sony's CMOS sensor chip is good. There is no noise on the picture, but a sharp and clear picture. The performance in the 720P format can be described as strong, and the frame rate is very strong, without frame skipping, Anti shake support is also very powerful. Not afraid of not recording the details ahead, all the pictures can be seen.
[Conclusion]
Locke (ROCK) The appearance of the on-board DASH CAM is not as beautiful as that of the DASH CAM, and there are three colors to choose from. In addition to the rose gold color in this trial, there are champagne gold and dark space gray. The fashionable appearance matches the fashionable color, and it can be installed on ordinary household nanny cars or fashionable sports cars. Its powerful and rich functions make it playable. The imported Sony CMOS photosensitive sensor chip supports strong resolution, and also ensures the clear and smooth recording at night. The performance at night can even kill many flagship mobile phones. Small partners with strong wiring skills are also very helpful. In short, once you have a ROCK in your car, you will never be afraid to touch porcelain! If you really encounter an unfortunate porcelain touch, press the window and say, "Aunt! I have a recorder! Don't lie down!
