Nowadays, the risk of driving people seems to be increasing gradually. Without mentioning the blackmail tactics of the porcelain bumping people, the road killer drivers alone are a headache. Therefore, a suitable tachograph has become a rigid demand of people with cars, and the products of the tachograph on the market are also flourishing, How to choose a practical product that you like has become an essential lesson for people with cars.

Recently, the author also had the honor to experience an intelligent tachograph called Xplore M1. As an upgraded product, Xplore M1 Smart has not only added high-definition video imaging components in hardware, making the porcelain evidence perfectly reappear, but also added the function of quick and convenient shooting short videos and uploading and sharing on the basis of traditional tachographs, Thus, while ensuring the quality of video recording, the DASH CAM will have more interesting video sharing methods. Next, we will experience this "Internet Red" DASH CAM in detail with the author.

The products for this evaluation are from Leifeng. com. Thank you for the evaluation opportunity. The packaging of the Xplore M1 intelligent tachograph for enjoying photography is a relatively simple type, but it is equipped with gold elements, which also conforms to its advertising slogan "gilt and colorful, beautiful and perfect". The author himself is not very impressed with this color, but a sentence in the box "Slogan" is more surprising, "idols in the intelligent DASH CAM". Having enough self-confidence is one of the elements of a good product.

In terms of accessories, the Xplore M1 is not only equipped with a car power adapter, USB data cable, but also a magnetic holder and a flash button that are not common on traditional driving recorders.

In terms of accessories, the author was most impressed by the Bluetooth flash button, because its appearance can not only quickly record the beautiful scenery or interesting events encountered during driving, but also increase the safety of the whole driving process. However, the small size of the flash button needs to be fixed through corresponding stickers to prevent loss. But whether the pasting method is the best way to deal with it deserves our deep consideration. However, in general, micro innovations such as the Bluetooth flash button make the whole user experience of the DASH CAM more perfect, and multiple such micro innovations will certainly make the product change qualitatively, making the product ecology more complete. This will take time, but we are more looking forward to it.

As mentioned above, the Xplore M1 intelligent DASH CAM has a magnetic bracket, so the host and bracket are connected by magnetic suction, and the contact points are three metal contacts. However, in addition to the magnetic suction, there are buckles on both sides of the bracket for connection, and the connection between the two is relatively firm. After connection, the magnet bracket can rotate, and the USB power cable is connected to the right side of the bracket.

Enjoy The host of the Xplore M1 intelligent tachograph is extremely small, with only a 35.5mm cube shape, which can be understood as a large sugar cube. The metal color makes the surface feel very good, and the arc chamfers around make the transition more natural. The only side that is not flat is the camera. There is a power switch key on the right side and no key on the left side.

It is the back of the camera that has the most content, that is, the face of the car owner. Obviously, this design is also the most reasonable. The work light on the left and the power light on the right have different flashing and color schemes to express different states. The card slot on the top supports a 32GB TF card at most, the microphone on the bottom left, and the reset button on the bottom right.

In terms of structural design, the only thing that needs to be said is that the power input interface is not directly connected to the host, but connected to the magnetic bracket, and then transmitted power through the contact between the magnetic bracket and the host. First of all, there must be power loss in such transmission. Second, if the magnetic suction bracket is lost, it may bring inconvenience to users. The host has a 180mAh battery, but it can only last about 20 minutes, which is not enough. However, the detachable lens is not useless. Once it is disassembled, the direction can be changed at any time to shoot content in other locations, which will be a huge advantage for temporary shooting.

Finally, let's take a look at the power adapter. The combination of two USB ports, 2.1A and 1.0A, is good for temporarily charging electronic products.

The installation of the Xplore M1 intelligent tachograph is actually very convenient. The 3M tape on the magnetic support is used to bond with the front windshield of the car, but the contact area needs to be cleaned with a cloth in advance. Then connect the host to the magnetic suction bracket, and finally connect the power supply. The Xplore M1 intelligent tachograph will automatically start to work. After a period of struggle, the author found that the rack base is divided into two layers, which are fastened in the form of buckles. When the whole machine needs to be taken down with the support, the base buckle can be pulled out from the base patch, but this function is hidden deeply and is not easy to find.

It is recommended to place the tachograph under the rearview mirror to reduce the obstruction to the driver's vision. The Xplore M1 intelligent tachograph does not have a display screen, which can be said to be a weakness, but also an advantage. Because the display screen does not play an obvious role in the driving process, even staring at the image of the tachograph will bring safety hazards to driving. From the perspective of cost performance, abandoning the display screen will make the product more affordable, But if you are an obsessive-compulsive user, the lack of a display screen is indeed a disadvantage. It can be seen from this that the manufacturer has made a choice on the practicability and integrity of the product.

The lens angle of the Xplore M1 intelligent DASH CAM is 155 ° for the real diagonal and 123 ° for the horizontal wide-angle, which can easily cover three lanes. In addition, the recording quality in the daytime is also good.

According to the actual test results, the Xplore M1 intelligent tachograph can clearly display the license plate of the front car within 3 meters under sufficient light.

Weak light environment is a great challenge for the tachograph. However, the Xplore M1 intelligent tachograph has a large aperture of F1.8, which can easily complete the shooting even when the light is not so sufficient. The actual measurement can also obtain clearer pictures in the underground garage.

Finally, there is an extremely bad condition. It rains at night. In addition, the wipers of the tested model have been out of repair for a long time, and the wiping effect of the wipers is not good. However, from the final imaging effect, in addition to the unfriendly display of complex light sources, the position and content of the car in front can still be properly displayed, which is a good result.

On site evidence collection is a relatively important measure of the tachograph. The Xplore M1 intelligent tachograph has its own WiFi, which can realize quick links with mobile phones, and view relevant video records without affecting the mobile phone Internet access. Of course, all operations are based on the mobile phone APP sharing tribe.

The Xplore M1 Smart DASH CAM can be connected to a mobile phone using WiFi to view videos with zero traffic. But in fact, at present, the stability of the app is not perfect. When I first used it, it took me a long time to connect my mobile phone to the Xplore M1 Smart DASH CAM. However, when reading, the app will still be stuck or even disconnected. However, the Xplore M1 intelligent tachograph I got this time is an engineering version, so the probability of disconnection and other events should be higher. The same problem occurs in the file service option. If you view the local file, you will be prompted that you cannot find the web page. These problems are not caused by hardware. I hope manufacturers can solve these problems through firmware update and APP optimization.

In fact, the interface of Xiang Tribe is very simple. The three keys in the main interface are file, flash and memory card. The functions of the left and right keys are similar, but in fact, "file" corresponds to video and picture files transferred to the mobile phone, and "memory card" corresponds to files stored on the TF card of the machine.. The middle button can record a 12 second short video when real-time is turned on. It is good to use it as a fun video for temporary recording.

You can make relevant selections in the device settings, but the video resolution cannot be modified by yourself. There is only the 1920x1080 option, and the firmware update of the host can be uploaded from here. The transmission speed under WiFi is quite fast. However, the overall design language of the app is slightly confused. Some common settings are not neat and perfect, and it will be slightly difficult to find. We look forward to the optimization and improvement in the future.

Sharing blog has a distinctive social function. In this part, you can view the shares of other users, the recommended content in the channel, and even browse the latest netizen shares. However, in today's hot live broadcast, enjoy shooting has also followed the trend and added the video editing function. Clicking the button in the upper right corner of the memory card option will show various options for selecting video and performing various operations on the lower part of the video. Clicking the "magic wand" can clip the video, adding filters, titles, music, etc., making the entire product more playable.

Finally, let's talk about the price. The current price of Xplore M1 intelligent tachograph is 499 yuan. Frankly, this price does not have great advantages. There are many products with similar functions and prices on the market. However, the Xplore M1 intelligent DASH CAM still has a lot of features in terms of functions, such as the separation design of the host and the magnet, good video recording ability, and quite a number of functions of the APP. These are highlights that attract users. However, we must admit that there are still some imperfections in the current Xplore M1 intelligent tachograph. If we can straighten out these imperfections, together with good video recording capabilities and features, we may be able to occupy a world in the market.
