For people with cars, the most troublesome problem for most car owners is the responsibility determination and handling after a traffic accident. The so-called public opinion and public opinion are reasonable. If there is insufficient evidence, sometimes the processing department can only rely on experience to judge, which is unfair. If you have a complete video of the incident at this time, Then the accident will be handled easily. In particular, in recent years, there have been reports of porcelain touching. If there is no perfect video recording, you may have to bite the bullet. As for the tachograph, it should be said that most car owners are no strangers, and even that most vehicles have been installed with various tachographs. Whether the tachograph is convenient to use and whether the records are timely, accurate and effective often become the key basis for car owners to choose.

In the past two years, intelligent hardware products have developed rapidly. As one of the most important aspects of vehicle driving safety, the DASH CAM has also joined the ranks of intelligent hardware. Compared with the problem of the old DASH CAM, it is troublesome to retrieve videos. The smart DASH CAM generally uses mobile APP, which can easily and quickly retrieve videos and pictures for users to use, making driving safer Convenient. The intelligent tachograph that I experienced today is the Xplore M1 intelligent tachograph from Xiangpai Technology. The product is packaged with white environment-friendly paper. There is no redundant design except for the product logo on the front, which is very simple on the whole, while the back gives the technical parameters of the product and other information.

In order to ensure the safety of transportation and effectively protect the tachograph, the product packaging adopts a customized sponge pad design. In order to facilitate the user's access, the package is reserved with an extraction hole.

In addition to the product host, M1 also provides a dual USB output vehicle charger, a Bluetooth remote control, a fixed base and the power supply line of the product.

For the convenience of users, the M1 recorder provides a wealth of documents. It is recommended to read them carefully before the first use.

The car charger adopts the current popular charger design method. The area of the three charging contact points is moderate, and the shell is designed in the way of piano like baking paint. The product can be used on 12V/24V models, that is, whether it is a family car or a bus for pulling goods, it can be used normally. In terms of output, in addition to the 1A output port for powering the tachograph, a DC5V/2.1A USB output port is also provided to facilitate users to power digital devices on the basis of using the tachograph.

The product host of this experience is the space silver version, of course, there are other versions for users to choose. The M1 intelligent tachograph is very compact, and adopts the design of metal body.

The side of the tachograph is the power supply input port and power switch of the product. The power switch adopts the design of rubber pad. Through the actual experience of the author, the power switch button has a strong rebound and good effect.

The bottom of the tachograph is the input interface of the product, which mainly provides the TF card slot for the recording space of the tachograph, and the voice output port, where the voice output port mainly reminds users of various problems in the use process by voice. M1 supports 32GB C10 high-speed TF card at most, which is enough to meet the daily use needs of users.

In terms of power line, in order to facilitate users to fix through the door baffle and rubber pad, M1 recorder provides a 3.5m long wire for users to use.

M1 intelligent tachograph adopts 1/2.7 inch industrial CMOS photosensitive element 2 megapixel camera, which can realize 1080P@30fps Video recording function. The lens adopts a 155 degree wide-angle fixed focus lens, and the F1.8 large aperture ensures the amount of light entering to achieve a clear shooting function.

In order to facilitate users to take pictures of scenery or record accidents at any time, M1 provides a dedicated Bluetooth remote control. After starting up, you can use the remote control to realize the quick photographing function of M1.

The side of the remote control is designed for power supply, and the remote control can be switched by sliding.

The Bluetooth remote control indicates the relevant functions of the Bluetooth remote control through the status of the LED light.

The M1 tachograph adopts the snap type installation method. In addition to fixing, the snap is also used to supply power for the tachograph.

M1 provides three contact points to connect with the bracket image of the tachograph.

The fixed base adopts a special magnetic support design. The power supply of the tachograph is located on the side of the magnetic support.

The magnetic support is a three part detachable design, including a base for fixing, a middle fixing ring and a magnetic terminal for fixing the tachograph.

In order to prevent falling off during use, a snap fit installation method is specially designed for the magnetic support to effectively avoid loss.

The magnetic support of the tachograph is very convenient to install. The installation function can be achieved by gently pressing both sides.

The base of the tachograph and the front windshield of the car are fixed with 3M glue, which can be pasted on the car according to the car model.

Seen from the outside of the windshield, the compact aspect of the M1 intelligent tachograph is more prominent. At the same time, due to its compact design, it will not block the driving line of sight at all, and it is safer to use. The author does not like the DASH CAM with a screen. For one thing, hanging a screen in front of me will sometimes unconsciously look past and affect traffic safety, while the compact design and scientific research of M1 completely prevent it from blocking the line of sight behind the rearview mirror.

The DASH CAM is connected to the mobile APP via wifi, so it can transmit photos and videos at a high speed for users to use online.

In addition to the video recording function, the manufacturer also provides a very rich tribal sharing function, which allows you to enjoy the beautiful scenery pictures taken by others at any time, and to share videos or pictures through a few operations.

The product APP provides the browsing function of local files and TF card files. Users can easily download videos or pictures from the DASH CAM to their mobile phones through APP. Pictures can be taken easily through the attached Bluetooth remote control.

M1 supports a 32G C10 high-speed TF card at most. The card mainly stores recorded videos, of which ordinary videos are recorded in cycles. Due to the built-in gravity sensing, the M1 intelligent tachograph has the function of automatically recording videos of accidents such as collisions. The videos of events such as collisions will be recorded permanently and need to be deleted manually, This method is mainly used to obtain video evidence when the vehicle has problems.

Since the M1 in this experience does not have the GPS positioning function, the map functions in its APP will not be repeated here. I hope the manufacturer can provide a GPS module to record the complete operation status. An important aspect of the product is the tribal sharing function. In addition to the original picture and video sharing, you can also use the filter and image processing function provided by the APP to process and release images. M1 APP provides very rich filter frame functions, which can be edited and published according to your preferences.

Similarly, the video also provides a color filter, through which specific effects can be achieved, such as a grayscale filter, making the recording of the DASH CAM look like a retro black and white style. Of course, there are more filters for users to further experience.

The author had a special experience with the use of the DASH CAM at around 5:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. respectively. The picture above shows the photos of the DASH CAM. From the picture above, the license plates in one parking space can be clearly photographed, but those beyond one parking space are slightly blurred.

Since M1 intelligent tachograph is not designed with night vision function and is not equipped with infrared filter, its performance at night can only be described as average. When the headlights are turned on, there are a lot of noise, which seriously affects the image quality. If you want to take a clear picture of the car in front, it is slightly insufficient.

The above two videos have not been modified. They are directly copied from the TF of the DASH CAM. The upper part is the driving record at about 5:30 p.m. and the lower part is the driving record at night. From the video, it can be seen that the effect of the daytime DASH CAM is relatively powerful and can fully meet the user's needs for safe driving, However, since there is no night vision function and no infrared filter is provided, the recording function at night is general, and further improvement is needed to achieve a clear and perfect presentation of night vision video and picture recording.

Summary

The Xplore M1 intelligent tachograph has a small appearance, adopts a metal body design, and is equipped with a 2 million pixel 155 degree fixed focus wide-angle F1.8 aperture camera with 1/2.7 inch industrial CMOS photosensitive elements. When the light is sufficient, 1080P full HD video recording is very powerful. It has a gravity sensing automatic video recording function to effectively ensure driving safety. However, due to the lack of night vision function, the effect of night use is slightly poor. The design of the flash button seems convenient, but it is a little inconvenient for users who are prone to lose things.
