[Trial Guide]

Before I begin, I want to talk about why my car should be equipped with this tachograph, because now, the tachograph has become popular. We should not only protect our safety interests when it is urgent, but also give us a deeper experience. So the manufacturer needs to improve the function of the tachograph and stare at this type of tachograph, You can not only record, but also capture instantaneously. You can also publish photos taken by recording, social sharing function, driving trajectory, reporting violations and other functions through mobile APP. It will bring more meaning to our driving.

[Unpacking]

When the recorder was obtained, it was a very neat box with white packaging, detailed parameters on the back of the box, some highlights of the product and some highlights of the recorder.

When I opened the packing box, I thought I would see the accessories inside, but I didn't expect that staring at the camera would put everything in order. The manual is packed in one box, and the USB cable and tools are packed in one box. The inside is really exquisite. The product is very stylish.

Next is the part of all accessories. The whole package contains a recorder host, a data cable, a charging head, a shutter, and a small kit containing 3M glue and tools for installation. Finally, there are some manuals and warranty cards.

Next, let's introduce our main character's staring and shooting mini2.

Product details: The high appearance of exquisite workmanship, according to the official statement, mini2 is F1.8 large aperture equipped with the high resolution 400 pixel OV4689 image sensor of the tachograph industry. This is a recorder without a display screen, but its video screen is also very excellent when viewed on a mobile phone. This will be discussed later.

The right side is where the TF card slot is inserted. There is also a reset button. It supports expansion of 64G. My mini is equipped with 32G.

Near the left side of the camera is a loudspeaker, from which the sound of staring and shooting usually comes out.

[Product Installation]

The next step is the installation of the product. I chose the best installation position as indicated in the manual to route the wires, along the upper edge of the windshield, along the plastic next to the door, and then power up the central control cigarette lighter. When installing, if you are afraid of the wires, you can use a holder in the tool kit that can fix the wires.

(Note) The 3M glue is used for staring and shooting, so we need to pay attention to the position when fixing to avoid changing the position, because the 3M glue is firmly stuck.

[Function Experience]

Because I use the iPhone and the Android phone intermittently (so some screenshots below are also the mixed use of the Android phone and the iPhone), because the two systems are different, there will be some differences when using them. It will be listed later.

1. Install the program first

Android can be downloaded and installed by scanning the code directly, and iPhone can be downloaded from Apple Store.

2. Add device

After installation, open the Add Device. First, click the camera in the navigation bar ->the plus sign in the upper right corner.

Note that if it is an Android phone, the system will directly help you find the wifi with staring, staring and shooting. However, if it is an iPhone, you need to manually connect the wifi and then come back to the program to add devices. It is probably the permission control of the iPhone.

3. Social sharing function

The social element of staring, staring and photographing is excellent. It provides a platform for people to share what they have seen and heard on the road with their friends. In the navigation bar on the road, there are three functional modules: square, dynamic and latest.

The plaza is a variety of interesting videos uploaded and shared by friends. There are some violations and some interesting driving problems, but the best thing is that some friends send the most beautiful moments they encounter on the road. These functions make the function of staring, staring and shooting more diversified. It is not only a recorder, but also a recording wizard for everyone's driving, recording every wonderful moment. However, it is very convenient. You can share pictures or videos directly from your mobile phone. You don't have to read out the memory card. This is really fast and accurate! I really like this feature.

Dynamic refers to some messages sent by people who follow. They can follow some experts, and they will often send some interesting things.

The latest, as its name implies, is the fresh and hot news that has just been posted by friends.

4. Daily use

Because the mini2 does not have a screen, if I want to see the current running video status, I must be connected to watch it

The following is a real-time video, but we don't have to look at it like this all the time. If something really happens, you can watch it when you park

Vertical screen interface

Horizontal screen interface

Features: It will automatically download the pictures and videos in it every time it is connected, which is very convenient (you can turn off the unnecessary ones)

This is very good.

Introduction to other software settings.

Other functions are how to publish information. You can see these pictures and videos in the software album. In my options, you can see some settings help information, including camera parameter settings, or see some information about the system memory. I won't introduce it in detail here. You can feel it when you use it.

5. The photographing function of staring and shooting

There is a remote control photo button in this mini2. This button can be placed anywhere in the mini2. When you feel a moment is beautiful, you can press it, and the beautiful moment will be recorded. But to my surprise, staring at shooting also intercepted a video of about 11s, which is about 5s before and after the moment, It makes people feel that it is very considerate to stare at the pictures and these pictures are really good! In this way, some extra good moments will be retained during the driving journey.

After uploading Youku, the compression is very powerful, not as clear as the original.

Finally, the comparison of recorded videos

Each video recorded by the memory card can be divided into three minutes. The shooting can also be divided into several kinds of resolutions: 1440P, which is high definition 1080P (this is the typical tachograph) and 720P. My car also has a built-in tachograph, which is also 1080P. Next, let's compare the quality of the video screen.

First, the video of my own recorder,

At first glance, this built-in camera called 1080P doesn't work very well. First of all, you can see the watermark in the upper left corner, including the time. The main reason is that the style of the whole picture is a bit dark, and the content captured by the camera is obviously not clear enough. Even when it is sent to Youku, it doesn't display high-definition characters. After transcoding, the video captured by staring is displayed in ultra clear, The video quality can be explained here

The following are the recorded videos:

From the definition of the staring video, it can be seen that this video camera supporting 140 ° wide-angle 1440P video shooting, that is, 2560 × 1440 pixels video shooting is indispensable. This scene happens after rain, and it is also at night. This lens has enough analytical power, and it can fully collect all things seen on the road into the lens. If your car is not very fast, you can basically see the important information such as the license plate, which is much better than my car. The other video is 3 minutes long, so it is much more convenient to find videos for us.

There is also a video attached below (compressed and uploaded):

Finally, bring a piece of time shift work in staring and shooting:

[Summary 】

The camera of the mini2 is good. It supports high-definition. Although there is no screen, it has a mobile phone app that supports real-time video viewing. It makes a complement. It can also view pictures in real time. It can also share some interesting pictures and videos to the Internet. It can also be used as an anonymous policeman on the road, You can report the cases of road violations. So in this era of social interaction as the king, the social element of stare, stare, and shoot is played to the fullest. In addition, one of my favorite functions of stare, stare, and shoot is one click, which simply catches our pain points, because sometimes we meet some moments in the process of driving, and want to record them, but it is impossible to shoot them with a mobile phone while driving, At this time, one click shooting gives us great convenience. So staring at the camera makes you meet a beautiful moment on the road!
