Because I park my car in the garage several times longer than I drive it out, every time I drive in the garage, I always find many scars, even dents, on the car. The chaotic garage management made me have to consider adding a tachograph, and it must be the kind that continues to record after the flameout.
I bought a recorder with cameras at the front and back. A week later, I found that the thief was not caught and the battery was out of power, so the driving record was basically a chicken bone display. Until recently, I found that the driving record has become a USB interface, which can make the large capacity mobile power come into use, and no longer have to worry about the battery power loss.
Today, I want to introduce the staring, staring and shooting mini2 to you. It is an intelligent tachograph with USB interface. How about its use? Please continue to browse.
1. Unpacking
In addition to the main body, remote control button and instructions, there is also a bundle of extra long USB connection cables, a one driven two cigarette lighter USB plug and some fasteners, adhesives and embedding tools.
2. Appearance
From the perspective of the main body, the plastic feeling is strong. If the shell is drawn with aluminum alloy, the texture is much better. Of course, if the plastic shell is used, it is light in texture and firm on the glass, so it is not easy to fall off.
Another problem is that the shape of the cylinder discards the display screen. Yes, you can't see the images directly on the DASH CAM.
The remote control button can be placed in the most convenient place for you. If there are any pictures that cannot be missed, they can be taken at the first time.
Please see the following picture for the effect after getting on the bus (sorry, the bus is messy!)
Because ETC is installed on the right side of the glass, the DASH CAM can only be installed on the left side. The trouble is that you need to use tweezers to plug in and out the tf card. If you haven't installed it yet, try to install it on the right front windshield to make it easier to insert and remove the card, and also make the lens more centered.
3. Installation
Is it convenient to install?
It is very convenient to stick mini2 onto the window glass, which is simple enough to explode: tear the backing adhesive in one second, stick it in one second, and press and hold it to fix it in one second. It's not easy to say that it's inconvenient, how to route the wires and how to hide the wires deeply. Anyway, I get sweaty. Originally, I wanted to upload a beautiful silhouette for everyone to see. Later, I found that the beauty was gone, leaving only sweat, so I had to stop.
Select the cable to go into the glove box, use the power of the cigarette lighter when driving, and use the power bank when parking.
In general, the line is long enough, but the number of clips for fixed line is small, and the viscosity is slightly weak.
4. Use
After talking about the appearance, let's take a look at the usage. This is more practical, and it is more concerned by everyone.
All smart products are pulled in this way. The first step is always to scan the QR code to install the APP.
Install the staring APP, insert the memory card into the staring APP, and then connect the power. Why insert a memory card? Because if it doesn't intervene, it will "ding" all the time until you explode.
After the installation, we open the network settings of the phone, find a Wi Fi named vYou_DDPai_Mini2, and connect it. The password is 1234567890 (I have modified it!)
Then return to the APP, click the "camera" button, and the current picture will be displayed. If you always want to view the picture during driving, you will always be connected in this way. Just on the way, you can't listen to the voice of Sister Li Zhilin in the navigation system. Because you have been connected to Wi Fi, you can't get online. I think at the beginning, check that the camera position is correct and the video is normally turned on. Don't look at the screen again. The design of no screen may also consider that you don't want to see it, so the driving process will be safer.
The APP has quite a lot of functions, including video recording, photographing, editing, downloading and sharing.
Get to know the people around you through staring and photographing, and share the interesting and troublesome things in the driving process.
Double click the camera screen to enter full screen mode. If you need to call the video of a certain time period, drag the first timeline back and forth below. If you want to download videos of a certain period of time to your mobile phone, select the start and end time on the bottom timeline, click the download button, and you can transfer them to your mobile phone via Wi Fi for sharing or proof.
Camera settings can only be set when staring at Wi Fi is connected. After formatting the tf card through the app, the annoying jingle will not sound.
So what kind of actual picture can a 140 degree wide-angle, f1.8 aperture lens, which is said to be composed of six sets of glass lenses, bring us?
Daytime effect
Night effect
Differences under different resolutions at night
The effect in the daytime does not need to be compared. 1080p is enough. There is not much difference between 1440 and 1080 at night. In general, the picture is not clear enough and the graininess is serious in the case of night vision.
Day time and night time comparison of driving process records:
Of course, my requirement for the DASH CAM is to record it when parking, and use a power bank instead of a car battery. A small test was carried out. The car stopped at about 3:30 p.m. and stopped at 6:50 p.m. The record lasted three hours. The 10800 mA power supply did not consume a grid of electricity. Low power consumption was indeed achieved. After a night of testing, the recording started at more than 3 p.m. the previous day and stopped at more than 6 p.m. this afternoon, which means that a 10800 mA mobile power supply can record for 27 hours. If you drive every day, a charging bank is enough to keep monitoring all night.
5. Summary
advantage:
1. Light and compact;
2. Powerful APP functions
3. High definition, large wide-angle and large aperture.
Disadvantages:
1. Strong sense of plastic;
2. Without a display screen, you may be unaccustomed to it;
3. There is no way to navigate on the Internet when the staring Wi Fi is connected.
4. Weak night vision
The appearance is quite unique. Compared with ordinary rectangular blocks, the LCD screen is abandoned. The advantage of this is to reduce power consumption, but at the same time, some people may feel unaccustomed to not seeing real-time images. The APP features are complete and practical, and the Wi Fi transmission rate is OK. However, to copy the video data to the mobile phone, you need to sit in the car and wait for a while. It cannot be set to synchronize the video data to the mobile phone when the mobile phone is connected to the mini2. After all, there are many record sharing activities on APP, which are always done at home or in the office after parking. I don't recommend that you share your records online while driving. Even though the traffic police never caught you driving with your mobile phone, this will pose a very big safety hazard to you, the cars and pedestrians on the road. In terms of shooting effect, there is no pressure during the day, but the night vision can only be described as ordinary. After all, I can't even see the license plate number of the car parked opposite. The angle is wide enough to see more than 3 parking spaces on the left and right, and it is enough to record the road conditions ahead.
If you are used to not looking at the DASH CAM, it is a good choice to stare at the mini 2, a small DASH CAM without a display screen.
