With the increase of cars year by year, the traffic flow in each city is also increasing year by year. It is as common to see cars on the road as it was to see bicycles on the street in the 1980s, but the traffic accidents that follow are also frequent, and all kinds of unexpected situations on the way are unexpected. Therefore, nowadays, the dash cam is basically a "standard configuration" in cars. When encountering "trouble", it undoubtedly becomes the first-hand evidence to protect their own rights and interests. The importance of the dash cam is not under the safety belt and airbag, and it is generally not used. Once used, it can play a key role. There are generally two types of tachographs in the market: the mount type and the rear-view mirror version. The former is still very common. The rear-view mirror version, which is fashionable this year, has gradually been accepted by the majority of drivers. The advantage of the rear-view mirror version is that it does not occupy the position of the front windshield, making the car more concise and the driver's vision more open. Many rear-view mirror versions even integrate rear-view mirrors, recorders The reversing image and other functions are integrated, making it more scientific and convenient to use. Today's protagonist is 360's rear-view mirror version recorder, which can not only have the recorder function, but also add multiple functions such as gesture photography, one button violation reporting, community interaction, etc., providing drivers with a safer, intelligent and convenient driving photography experience.

Appearance: beautiful, light and thin body

The hard paper box of 360 DASH CAM rear-view mirror version has a simple and thick package. On the back of the box, there is information about the manufacturer and products, and the QR code for app installation, which is about the size of a cigarette.

The appearance of the mirror is no different from that of an ordinary car rear-view mirror. A careful look shows that there are five soft keys under the mirror. There is a camera like thing on the upper left, which is the gesture sensing photo area. The mirror has a factory protective film with notes on it, which can be torn off after installation.

There are no physical keys. Except that the middle power key is a fixed key, the remaining four keys have different operation functions according to the operation options on the screen. The sound of the keys is crisp and has strong feedback, and the key stroke is short and light.

The gesture photographing area is hidden in the upper left corner, which will not affect the view of the rear-view mirror. Gesture photography is one of the highlights of the 360 recorder. You can instantly record what is happening in front of you by simply covering or gently sliding your hand in front of the sensing area. It is suitable for capturing some interesting people or things on the way, or even capturing illegal vehicles and then entering the app to upload reports, which is very convenient.

In order to facilitate installation, all the sockets of the recorder include: power socket, TF card slot, EXT (expandable) socket. In order to access data faster, TF officially recommends a Class 10 high-speed card, but I can't feel the problem when I use a Class 4 ordinary card. If you need to buy it, you can directly use the high-speed card. After all, the price is the same. How much memory is enough? Generally speaking, the larger the memory, the more impact the storage will have. When the storage is full, the recorder will scroll from the beginning to delete (except for emergency videos). With so much nonsense, I want to say that an 8G or 16G video is enough. The video N days ago is also useless unless you are in a special industry. Besides, the EXT interface should be an extension excuse for 360's subsequent on-board hardware, such as reversing radar image.

There are two mounting brackets on the left and right at the back of the recorder, which are directly fixed to the original mirror, and it is OK to use the rubber strips attached to the accessories. In order to prevent the original mirror from wearing and slipping, a layer of granular rubber strips are pasted on the inside of the mounting bracket, so the installation is actually very simple and can be used after installation.

There is a RESET reset key on the back of the recorder to restore the factory settings. Of course, if you can open the recorder and directly select the "Restore Factory Settings" option on the recorder, you can also do so.

Installation: easy installation

The accessories include cigarette lighter USB power supply, data cable, rubber strip for fixing and threading device. The installation is actually very simple, but the concealed installation is a bit troublesome. Basically, it is necessary to go along the A pillar, storage box and foot pad. If there was a recorder on the car before, it would be better to go along the line. If there is no beautiful woman who can watch the installation video of the app, it is very detailed and simple. I will directly release a picture of the installed effect, It is basically the same as the original car mirror and does not affect the line of sight. The workmanship of the recorder is really good. There will be no "price drop" when it is placed in the car.

Configuration: built-in Anba chip for better performance

The rear-view mirror version of 360 DASH CAM adopts the latest American Anba A12 processing chip, equipped with 1080P ultra clear image sensor, five new full HD spherical lenses and 43 layer coating process to automatically filter unwanted light, reduce stray light reflection and improve light transmittance, so as to achieve the effect of "starlight night vision" without any post-processing.

The camera of the 360 recorder can also be adjusted 360 degrees. After the recorder is installed, gently rotate the camera to make it right at the shooting position. There are 1080P 30fps and 1080P 30fps HDR shooting specifications. HDR is more suitable for recording in poor light conditions. Of course, the volume of audio and video files is larger and they occupy more memory, but generally the former is sufficient.

Experience: easy to operate

In general, 360 recorder is more experience oriented, so it is very handy and fast in setting logic and key manipulation of menu bar. Since the power source is from the cigarette lighter, the recorder will be started immediately after the car is powered on. After 10 seconds, the screen will automatically turn off and the voice prompt "360 will keep recording for you" will be accompanied. When the car is turned off, the key will automatically stop and enter the "security" state. If the vibration caused by external force occurs to the car, the recorder will be recorded through the built-in battery start recorder, So it is no longer afraid to scratch the car and find no one.

When you first use it, you will be prompted to "format the memory card", and then enter the recording status. The options displayed on the regular recording interface are: emergency recording, recording yes/no, album and setting options. Select the corresponding button below to enter the corresponding settings.

It's easy to see the setting options, and there's no need to introduce more. Here, it's important to say that the factory setting of 360 DASH CAM for emergency recording sensitivity is set to "high", but during the experience, when the road conditions are bad, emergency recording often occurs. Everyone knows that the image data of emergency recording is stored safely and will not be deleted or replaced, so it is recommended to set it to "low", It is more reasonable to record when a slight collision occurs.

Gesture sensing photography is as simple as waving, and emergency capturing is as simple as that, but one disadvantage is that if the car with small space in the car sometimes blocks the sensing area to take photos, the camera sensing is very sensitive, and there is almost no misoperation when waving.

App： Rich functions, easy to use

App applications are common on today's recorders, and their functions are basically the same, but 360's innovative daily check-in can get a certain number of cherries, and the cherries can be exchanged for some gifts. You can also review the images stored in the recorder through mobile apps, and upload them to the circle to share the scenery along the way with motorists, Funny and interesting things on the road, and you can browse the images uploaded by fellow riders in the same city.

After scanning the QR code, downloading the app and opening it, the mobile phone and the recorder need to link through wifi. The recorder needs to manually confirm the access permission to give consideration to the privacy of the owner, and can also set the access password to enhance security.

Shooting effect:

It has been raining intermittently in Shijiazhuang for more than a week, so the videos taken are relatively dark, but from the picture, the 360 DASH CAM effect is final. Although it is a 140 degree wide-angle lens, the distortion is not obvious. It takes no effort to take photos of the three lanes in front, and can accurately distinguish the number plates of vehicles in front on the way, The following pictures and driving videos are taken for demonstration.

summary

Small size, clean and tidy inside the small car is the second priority. The main thing is to try not to affect the driver's vision

Clarity The picture quality is clear, especially when the light is poor, in order to identify the situation in the picture more accurately

Large wide-angle can tolerate the "fish eye" distortion caused by wide angle, and the shooting angle must be large, which is understandable

It seems that the operation is simple and almost foolproof, especially the tedious operation during driving

Good extraction Once the image data needs to be extracted, it can be played back and previewed in a few simple steps

But there are many people in the security car when they don't put it in the warehouse. When they wake up, they don't know who the car is. They are not afraid of 360

In general, the emergence of intelligent auxiliary function recorders is mostly accompanied by Bluetooth Wifi and other functions connected with mobile phones are also favored by more and more manufacturers to develop supporting app application platforms. However, if 360's strength is obvious from the two aspects of "security and software", no matter the camera's shooting angle and clarity, daily use is no problem, and interesting "car sharing, illegal reporting" has been added Such functions have also achieved effective technical support. The introduction of new ideas is undoubtedly the driving force to promote the progress of peripheral hardware equipment, so it is a good choice to start with a 360 mirror version of the DASH CAM at the price of 499.
