Preface: On Self cultivation of DASH CAM

What conditions should a qualified and excellent tachograph meet?

one . It can be seen clearly: From 1080P, 2K is better (4K is too large)

2. Captured: No frame leakage, large viewing angle, long capture distance, anti glare at night

2. Simple installation: Installation and wiring must be convenient

3. Functional foot: Cyclic recording, collision recording, parking monitoring, built-in electronic dog broadcasting, etc

Most of the middle and low-end monitoring on the market is 1080P, and the shooting pixels are all about 200W. Generally, there is no GPS positioning and electronic dog broadcasting function. Of course, the price of these products is about 300-500. As a professional manufacturer of tachographs, the new flagship launched this time: Staring at M6 Plus (999 yuan), let's have a look.

One sentence introduction: M6 Plus hardware belongs to the high-end. It has the basic functions of cycle recording and parking monitoring, as well as built-in GPS, front and rear wireless two-way and other high-end functions. The text begins with just saying and not practicing fake tricks.

Unpacking&installation: 2K image quality, divided into gymnastics control

Below is“ Love to play computer games ”The red pattern on the package box of the M6 Plus is the outline of the M6 Plus.

‍

With the drawer type packaging design, you can see the two components of the M6 Plus, the M6 Plus host and the Bluetooth remote control. The remote control capture below has always been the feature of staring.

‍

Family photo: Stare at the M6 Plus base and camera, Bluetooth remote control, car charger and charging line, as well as the instructions and installation crowbar tools. It's a pity that no TF card and step-down line were given away.

One set of wiring: Staring at the camera also customizes a dual port USB car charger, which supports 2.1A/1A. In addition, a set of plastic crowbars (to go through the hidden line) and wiring clips (to go through the open line) are presented, which is considerate. ‍

The Bluetooth remote control has a feature of staring and taking photos. It is made of ABS plastic frosted material. The sensitivity of a click is relatively easy. A click can capture photos with one button. Photos and videos can be generated on the mobile phone to record emergencies or landscapes.

In installation, the staring and shooting M6 Plus adopts a camera and bracket separation design, and the interface is connected by rubidium magnetic suction, so the adsorption is very firm, and there is no need to worry about vibration and falling. Because the M6 Plus has a built-in 250mA battery, the camera can be turned back and forth to take a short self portrait in the car. ‍

‍

The staring M6 Plus charging base uses USB port for power supply (2A/1A can be measured). In order to facilitate quick removal, there is also a plastic snap between the base and the 3M glue. It can be seen that the M6 Plus pays attention to details.

Staring at the connection of M6 Plus, we can see that the power supply input supports 5V/2A, but the measured 5V/1A of double charging by messi can also drive the operation.

There is LED status indicator at the bottom of the staring M6 Plus. The three colors indicate normal power supply, and the single color indicates power failure and endurance.

The lens structure of M6 Plus adopts the form of 6 groups of glass lenses+1 infrared filter, which is not available in many middle and low end computers (including their mini2). Natural night imaging has an impact.

‍

The openings on the left and right sides behind the M6 Plus are loudspeakers (loud). TF cards can be placed when opened in the middle. The maximum support is 64G. Since the official does not present a TF card, considering that the machine has automatic circulation function combined with transmission efficiency, messi recommends purchasing C10 16G TF card is enough.

Installation: two pasting, convenient

The Bluetooth remote control is pasted with 3M glue. Due to the moderate temperature at present, it is impossible to explore whether the 3M glue will melt or crack in the extreme heat and cold winter. As far as it is used for 2 weeks, it is still firm.

‍

Messi would like to remind me about the location of the pasting. You must first open the M6 Plus to show the image, and then find the angle. The installation location should be as far as possible in front of the mirror so as not to block the line of sight. At the same time, you should not place it in the blind area that cannot be scratched by the wiper, so as to avoid dust affecting the shooting effect.

‍ ‍

Summary:

The staring M6 Plus is excellent in workmanship, small in size and unobstructed in sight. The split design is easy to assemble and disassemble, and the magnetic buckle has strong suction. The accessories are respectively the fixing tools for light and dark wiring. The design of Bluetooth remote control+host continues the classic of staring and sharing. However, the absence of a TF card and step-down line does bring inconvenience to customers, and it is recommended to increase them later.

Actual shooting effect: There are both highlights and shortcomings

‍ High picture definition, wide viewing angle and continuous recording (no missing seconds) are the basic qualities of a tachograph. How is M6 Plus doing?

1、 M6 Plus viewing angle: wide

The camera parameters of M6 Plus are the same as those of mini2, both of which are 140 ° wide-angle. Many people mistakenly believe that the larger the wide-angle, the better. In fact, the larger the wide-angle, the stronger the distortion of the image, and the lower the definition of both sides and front. 140 ° is currently a value that better balances visual angle and image distortion, so it is also widely used.

Daytime: excellent static

In the following figure, you can see the four lane road, the license plates can be easily seen on the left and right sides, and even the right bus separated by two lanes can vaguely see the license plates. The visual angle of M6 Plus is really good.

‍

Night: excellent static

It can be seen that the M6 Plus still keeps a good visual angle at night.

‍

2、 Clarity: some highlights and some shortcomings

Day time: excellent performance

Backlight: clear static distance

Night: high purity, clear in the distance

Highlight: 2K+infrared coated filter (at night)

The clarity of M6 Plus is very good no matter in the day or at night. Especially at night, there are more details and less noise in the picture. When driving, you can clearly see the trees in the night, and even the light signs on the distant buildings.

Parking lot: static, acceptable

Inadequate: the license plate of medium and high speed vehicles is not clear

Perhaps because of 30 frames, the license plates on both sides of the left and right corners begin to blur after the car's speed exceeds 70km/h, and the clarity improves when driving to the front. This also happens at night. When the ambient light is very dark, the visibility angle of M6 Plus is small, and it starts to improve slowly at 90 °.

Parking lot environment: poor dynamic capture

When encountering poor light environment and driving at low speed, M6 Plus performs poorly. The license plates of the left and right cars cannot be seen clearly and are pasted together. Maybe the noise reduction algorithm of M6 Plus needs to be improved.

  Capture distance: 10-15m

Messi has measured the capture distance of the staring and shooting mini2, which is about 5m in fact. The performance is average and standard; This time, the M6 Plus is indeed improved compared with the mini2, and the license plate can be seen at a maximum distance of 15m under relatively static conditions.

Summary:

It can be seen that in static or low-speed scenes, staring at the M6 Plus is excellent, especially at night, but in dynamic or high-speed situations, the performance is relatively ordinary.

| Staring at APP: rich functions, shared by the whole people

Different from the previous APP, the staring and photographing APP is not only a platform for setting camera parameters, but also a platform for peering and photographing car friends to communicate, share and report violations, which belongs to the category of social APP.

The peering M6 Plus is also connected via wifi, which does not consume traffic for downloading and viewing. It is more practical to have the function of checking violations on the top of the main interface, which also has the driving video shared by peering netizens.

‍

The reason why it is called a social APP is that, in addition to the basic setting function, it can also share the journey and expose violations, which is very useful.

‍

Astounding“ Wuling Zhiguang Farewell Event ”, which is also from the staring, staring and shooting community (staring, staring and shooting mini2):

Features: 2K (1440P) resolution, built-in GPS, electronic dog

After power on, press the Bluetooth remote control to realize paired connection, which supports up to 2K (1440P) output. You can see that M6 Plus has very rich functions. In addition to conventional "cycle recording", "parking monitoring" and "collision sensing", It also has built-in GPS and electronic dog functions These are not available in low-end tachographs (including mini2). ps： The "Display Speed" function is not enabled by default, which is a bit inhumane.

‍

M6 Plus function:

① One click capture: save your phone and view it directly

Like the staring and shooting mini2, the M6 Plus can still capture with one button via Bluetooth remote control, and save an 11 second MP4 video and a JPG photo on the mobile phone. Since it is not MOV video format, the mobile phone can directly watch the video. Format,. Video, due to, PGP and screenshots ‍

‍

② Parking monitoring: because no "step-down line" has been received, messi has no way to actually demonstrate, but according to netizens' feedback, this function is relatively simple to implement.

③ Collision record: Because collision is not common, messi simulates collision shaking, which is actually useful as mini2. It will generate an "alarm" folder and record video.

‍

④ Inside GPS setting: fast star searching, with an accuracy of about 10m

The advantage of built-in GPS is that it can locate and record the driving speed and track. The cold start speed of M6 Plus is fast within 10 seconds, the positioning accuracy is about 10m mainstream but not brilliant, the driving speed is accurate, and the difference between the measured mileage and the instrument panel mileage is 3km/h.

‍

‍ Because of the GPS track function, you can view the recent driving situation and improve the driving mode to a certain extent.

‍

⑤ Power off endurance: 250 mA is good or bad?

Because of the built-in 250mA battery, it can also be recorded for a period after power failure. The measured endurance is about 4 minutes, which should be used to Keep records in case of emergencies. However, the risk of lithium batteries is that they are not resistant to high temperatures. In summer, the temperature inside the car is very high, There is a certain risk of bursting Attention should be paid to using cars in summer. Messi personally thinks it is more appropriate to use super capacitor.

‍

⑥ , wireless front and rear two-way: not connected successfully?

One of the features officially announced is that the staring M6 Plus can be used with other staring products to form front and rear wireless dual recording, and the picture in picture mode can be enabled to cover the whole vehicle during parking monitoring. However, it is regrettable that MESSI has measured many times, and can only go to the Internet, but it is not successful, which makes MESSI slightly disappointed.

APP features: violation report, travel sharing

One click violation report, low learning cost

Many times, people want to protect their rights and report, but the cost is too high and the operation is complex, so they can't settle it. The report system of staring at the camera is relatively perfect and the operation is also very convenient, so more people can stand up to protect their rights, which is a very good thing.

‍

Video editing at any time, one click sharing journey

If you go out for fun and share the beautiful scenery on the way with friends, this video editing function will be easier to use.

‍

Summary: Rich functions, but still need to be improved

On the basis of continuous 2K resolution, the M6 Plus has built-in GPS functions, such as "cycle recording", "parking monitoring", and other basic functions. It can realize speed measurement and electronic dog functions, and record the driving track at the same time. However, it is a pity that the feature of front and back two-way has not yet been successful. The functions of the staring and shooting APP are perfect. It is convenient to check videos directly on the mobile phone. One click reporting and sharing travel operations are very unique and practical. There are small problems. The built-in lithium battery needs to be used in summer. The APP should turn on "speed display" by default, and wireless dual recording needs to be improved.

| Messi Summary ‍

advantage:

2K (1440P) resolution, high definition at medium and low speed

140 ° wide angle, large viewing angle, long capture distance

Infrared filter, high definition at night

Built in GPS, electronic dog, path planning

Built in 250mA lithium battery, power-off and endurance

The APP is featured with rich functions, reporting and sharing

Disadvantages:

At high speed, the license plates on both sides have poor clarity

Wireless front and rear dual channels cannot be connected

Built in lithium battery, pay attention to protection in high temperature days

Admittedly, the price of 999 yuan belongs to the middle and high end among tachographs, and the 2k resolution tachographs are generally more than 499 yuan. Compared with low-end products, the staring M6 Plus has the advantages of 2K resolution, built-in GPS, and electronic dog functions. The lens part has added infrared filters, which indeed enhances the brightness and clarity at night. However, messi found that one of its major features is that the front and rear wireless dual recording can not be opened normally, and the sharpness of capturing at high speed is also relatively general. Messi is not very satisfied with these two points. If you basically drive in the urban area, but also like its electronic dog function, and can avoid exposure in summer, then staring at the M6 Plus can still bring you surprises, because the ability of night shooting at low speed is really excellent.
