Driving is not easy these days. Not only is the traffic getting more and more congested, but also those unscrupulous drivers who change lanes in violation of regulations, electric cars turn sharply, illegally touch porcelain, and even road killers who use the brake as the accelerator should always be on guard. It used to be said that caution makes the ship last forever. However, the old drivers with good technology now also prefer to install the DASH CAM on their cars. After all, just because you don't bump into others doesn't mean they won't bump into you. With the DASH CAM, we can read it on the spot and distinguish responsibilities, saving a lot of words and trouble. What's more, after the "Internet", the DASH CAM has more extensive functions and richer scenes, which has incomparable advantages over traditional recorders.

get down to business. What impressed me most about the brand is that they said on Lei Feng's website that they should make the tachograph more fun, and the colorful shell of its old mini. The M6 Plus in this experience is the flagship product in the M series and Mini series. Let's see if it is fun enough.

Staring at M6 Plus, the wrapping paper shell was treated into a metallic texture, and there was an illusion of metallic paint in the sun. Unfortunately, the photo did not produce the effect. In addition, there is no drag and complex elements on the outer package, and the simple style feels refreshing. Because the tachograph involves many components, the small paper box is used for classification and protection, and sponge is placed in the interlayer as a buffer layer. In fact, I am more sure that another small detail is the red handle on the inner box. With a small design, it solves the problem that the vacuum is not easy to open the pull-out packaging.

Let's look at each component again. The M6 Plus camera is a well deserved core hardware, integrating six sets of glass lenses, 1440P encoding processor, OV4689 image sensor, 250mAh lithium battery, wireless module, 256 storage GPS、 The three-axis acceleration sensor, loudspeaker and many other components are still controlled in a volume of about 6cm at the longest and widest, and about 2.5cm at the thickest. They are oblate, delicate and compact. This is really valuable. After all, the smaller the DASH CAM is, the less it will block the view after installation.

I have also experienced several major compact tachographs before, but almost all of them separate the GPS module and battery module from the host, and do not achieve a high degree of integration in the line and car charging layout. Of course, whether the highly integrated M6 Plus works stably will be introduced in the follow-up experience.

The surface of the M6 Plus camera has also been treated with metallic paint texture, and the material and workmanship of the whole machine meet the high-end positioning. The front staring and taking photos of the LOGO is more about the oath of the product. After all, it is downward after installation, and it is usually invisible. The three GPS, power supply, work and LED indicators below are clearly lit, which can help judge the working status.

There are speakers and microphone openings on both sides of the "bottom" of the camera. From the welcome words of switching on and off, taking pictures, and electronic dog prompts, you can clearly hear the content played. The protective cover of the TF card slot in the middle is hard, so it needs to be slightly opened with a little force. The reset hole is hidden here for emergencies. Because the staring M6 Plus supports recording 2K ultra-high definition video, the 3-minute video will be 230 megabytes in size. It is better to use the high-speed and high-capacity card of Class10 to ensure the speed. Although the recording can be repeated, it is recommended to use a large capacity high-speed card to save as many driving videos as possible.

The camera that stares at M6 Plus is marked with red circle, which is conspicuous. In terms of parameters, the 4 million image 1/3 inch CMOS image sensor with 140 wide-angle diagonal and aperture of F1.8 is used. The data performance is good, and the actual imaging ability is shown in screenshots in the follow-up experience.

The M6 Plus camera uses a patented magnet interface with the bracket, which gives four feelings in use. First, it is simple, that is, put it and suck it. Second, it is optional. The camera has a built-in battery, which can be taken down for a different perspective when necessary. The third is anti sloughing. There are buckles and slots on the magnet interface to prevent the wrong installation direction. Fourth, it is strong. The magnet has great attraction, and it can only be separated with greater force.

The magnetic snap can be seen more clearly on the M6 Plus bracket. The bracket supports up, down, left and right adjustment. After the adjustment is in place, it is fixed with knob screws. The structure is simple and practical. The power line interface adopts a hidden design. On the display of the installed finished products, it can be seen that the location design can effectively shorten the exposure of the power line.

The support buckle of M6 Plus was glued to the front windshield with 3M glue. I used a suction cup type recorder, but it fell off under the high temperature steaming in summer. Finally, I felt that the 3M glue was more secure. After all, the position was rarely adjusted after being fixed. Of course, it would be better if a spare part of 3M glue was attached to the camera, which is convenient for users with replacement needs.

This oblate object is the remote control photographing button for staring at the M6 Plus. It can manually capture photos and record videos for 5 seconds before and after recording, which is convenient for sharing. The remote control camera button is matched with the camera when it leaves the factory, and can be used directly. The button has obvious feedback force, and the interconnection response is fast, without losing the capture moment.

Other components include the data cable and the car charger. The car charger supports one driving two. The 2.1 A interface marked on the car charger supplies power to the camera. The other 1A interface can supply power to other equipment on the car. It is recommended to change it to 2.1A for both. After all, 1A charging efficiency is too slow. Here is a detail that is also worth affirming. A plastic crowbar and a data line fixing buckle are included in staring and shooting. Especially when the crowbar hides the data line into the vehicle interior, professional tools have played a great role in helping.

The installation of the DASH CAM is a fixed pattern, there is nothing to say. The outstanding thing is that the professional tools for staring and shooting are more convenient for wiring, the power interface design is more concealed, and the flat and compact appearance can be perfectly hidden behind the rear-view mirror. The M6 Plus can hardly be seen in the driver's seat, and will not block the line of sight.

The remote control photo button of M6 Plus is pasted with silica gel, which has good adhesion. Moreover, the silica gel is different from 3M glue, and the replacement position will not leave traces. It is more targeted for such small objects that need to be moved. I tend to stick it on the center console next to the steering wheel, which can be photographed with a move of my hand, and will not affect driving safety.

The high-end configuration of hardware is just the foundation. The fun tachograph is more important than the function development, atmosphere creation and stickiness attraction of the APP. The staring APP is mainly divided into four modules: "On the Road, Camera, Album, My". On the road, users mainly share the wonderful clips of driving, travel scenery, funny stories and illegal videos. The government also released various activities here, such as online and offline activities such as uploading illegal JD shopping cards, self driving tours, clubs, etc. The reading and comments shared on the road are good, and it can be seen that the community has a certain popularity.

The violation query function is connected to the traffic information network. After adding the vehicle information, you can view the violation handling, points deduction and fines. It also supports adding multiple vehicles, which is really practical for drivers.

The view nearby function is similar to that of people near WeChat. Staring at and taking photos is to view the nearby DASH CAM. You can watch videos shared by people around you, and add friends, comments, etc. The same is true for other dynamic and latest tabs, which are all designed to create a more fun environment for sharing and communication.

At present, the most obvious difference between the "Internet" based tachograph and the traditional recorder in appearance is that it does not have its own screen. The camera function module of the staring and shooting APP is to expand the mobile phone into the screen of the DASH CAM through WiFi, which is larger and clearer. In addition, the vertical screen and horizontal screen of the mobile phone will automatically switch the display of functions, such as driving map, direction, speed, and download file management, camera parameter settings. At the same time, in horizontal screen status, you can directly drag the video to any time before cutting, editing and sharing. The functions are very rich and easy to use.

Sharing is an important part of staring and patting. The photo album function module can query and read the driving videos on the dash cam by category, capture pictures, beautify, edit and share pictures and videos. The map tab provides options for querying pictures by location, which are actually designed around fun.

My module function is not just a daily camera APP、 Storage and other setting options. It also provides travel records and scores according to driving habits to increase interest. The journey record is very detailed. According to the time node, the driving route map, mileage, duration and average speed are recorded. Strangely, the acceleration and braking performance are not calculated. The function of driving record is absolutely practical. It can clearly grasp all the information of driving. It is a magic weapon for guarding against the likes of Ma and Song. Where is it? How long did you stay? Everyone knows!!

Another point is that staring at the M6 Plus can choose to turn on the electronic dog function, and the video monitoring and overspeed monitoring on the road can basically remind people. But one thing is that there are too many video surveillance on urban roads. It would be great if we could distinguish video surveillance, overspeed surveillance, and red light running photography in subsequent updates. You can select and turn on the corresponding alerts as needed.

Although it's fun to stare at M6 Plus, we still need to see its imaging ability. Because the ultra-high definition chip Hi3516D platform of Huawei HiSilicon is used, it has 2K video recording and decoding capability. F1.8 aperture and 140 degree wide-angle lens give consideration to both wide-angle and focal length. Let's take a look at the road tests in different weather conditions. Because they are all in motion, and the screenshots cause damage to the image quality, the actual image quality played on mobile phones and computers is better.

The above picture is a screenshot of the video in motion during the day. The color restoration is relatively accurate. The distortion control of the wide-angle close range is good, and the distant view is no problem. The license plate can also be recognized tens of meters away.

The above picture is a screenshot of the moving video in backlight. Because it is facing the sun directly, the video quality is affected. The distance of license plate recognition is shortened, so it is still possible to see objects and people clearly. It is also seen that the wide-angle is enough to maximize the capture of objects and people on both sides of the car.

The above picture is a screenshot of the sports video when the light is not good in rainy days.

The above picture is a screenshot of the motion video when driving at night.

I also feel the stability of the M6 Plus. First, let's talk about the daily environment. After going to work in the morning, the car stopped in the outdoor parking lot. At noon, the temperature of the M6 Plus surface in the car reached 76.8 degrees with a thermometer, which was really scary. You can imagine how high the temperature inside the car is in summer. When going out, after driving for a long time, use a thermometer to test the temperature of M6 Plus surface in the car to be about 40 degrees. After two weeks of operation, the plastic disc of M6 Plus has not fallen off the front windshield (I am always angry that the former suction cup fell down to frighten me when driving). Everything is normal and there is no bad phenomenon. The hot start GPS positioning is about 3-5 seconds, and the cold start GPS positioning is about 10-15 seconds. I am relatively satisfied.

In a word, when we select the DASH CAM, the difficulty lies in the price of the same level, appearance, configuration, imaging, function and other aspects. Under the experience, staring at M6 Plus has its own advantages. In appearance, the M6 Plus has a highly integrated flat appearance, which will not block the driving sight after actual installation; In terms of configuration, M6 Plus hardware supports 2K video recording and is equipped with GPS positioning module, which provides a basis for subsequent function development and expansion; In terms of imaging, thanks to the excellent chip platform, the measured imaging tolerance of M6 Plus in different light is at a good level; In terms of functions, it can wirelessly view, edit, download, share, interact with driving videos and photos, check complete driving records, sports data, and the wireless picture in picture function of front and rear dual tachographs that are not experienced by conditions. At the same time, coupled with good workmanship and reputation of various series of products, it is really a product worth recommending.

Well, that's all for the experience of staring at M6 Plus. Old driver, take me, take me to Kunming
