With the increasing number of private cars, the roads we usually travel are becoming more and more congested. Even if you have enough confidence in your driving skills, you should always be aware that others will hit your car, not to mention that you will encounter porcelain bumps. Once a traffic accident or accident dispute occurs during the driving process, restore the scene of the accident, Providing first-hand evidence is the most important, so the DASH CAM product has now become the standard configuration of private cars.

I'm sure you will not be unfamiliar with the brand 360. 360 is well-known for its security software, but 360 does not only make software, but also has many hardware products, including the tachograph. The rear-view mirror version of 360's tachograph I want to introduce below is the only rear-view mirror integrated machine among the many tachograph products launched by 360, What you hear is false, what you see is true. What is the performance of this 360 famous DASH CAM? Please follow my evaluation.

The exterior packaging of 360 DASH CAM rear-view mirror version adopts environment-friendly hard kraft paper box, which is simple in style, not fancy, but also very firm, which can effectively prevent the product from being damaged during transportation.

Although it has long been known from the name of the product that this is a rear view mirror integrated tachograph product, it still feels larger than expected after seeing the real thing. The overall size is 315 mm * 83 mm * 20 mm. As far as the rear view mirror is concerned, this is by no means an ordinary size, but an enlarged version.

From the front, the product is the same as an ordinary car rear-view mirror. The real identity of the product can only be identified from the coated words on the lens surface and the five function keys on the lower part. The mirror covering film prompts the position of the hand gesture photo sensing area of the DASH CAM, and focuses on eight points to explain the use methods and precautions of the product.

The back is not as smooth as the front. A large area of the back is made of PC plastic material. Because it needs to be fixed on the original rear-view mirror through clips, the consideration of anti sliding and anti scratching is essential, which can be seen mainly from the left and right fixing support points. The reset button of the recorder is also designed on the back. The advantage is that it can be prevented from being touched by mistake. The disadvantage is that the recorder needs to be removed before it can be pressed. Considering that its use probability is extremely low, there is no problem.

The camera of 360 DASH CAM rear-view mirror version is composed of five full HD spherical glass lenses, which support full HD 1080p 30fps recording, has a F2.0 aperture and 140 ° ultra wide angle, and supports HDR. The whole machine is an American Anba A12 chip solution, which belongs to a relatively mainstream and mature configuration.

Since it is fixed on the original rear-view mirror, considering the visual angle of the rear-view mirror, the whole machine can not be rotated at will like the ordinary tachograph, so the camera is designed as a fish eye, and you can directly manually rotate the camera itself to adjust the angle of view.

The power cord socket, TF card slot and EXT multi-function expansion interface are designed on the top of the body, and the power cord socket is designed on the top for wiring; The TF card slot is designed to make it a little inconvenient to plug in and out of the top card, but the TF card will not be plugged in and out frequently in normal use, so there is no problem; The EXT multi-function expansion interface is a bit confusing, and there is no explanation in the description. I don't know what it is for. Later, more accessories may be introduced to bring more experience. It is always good to have a future.

The accessories of 360 DASH CAM rear-view mirror version include car USB power supply head, power cord, elastic plastic strap, routing tool, etc. Although they are only accessories, the workmanship and quality are not careless. 360's product logo is printed on each of them, demonstrating the style of a big factory.

attach The simple installation instructions are for one thing and two purposes. One side is a schematic diagram of the installation steps, and the other side is a temporary stop sign for vehicles, which is very user-friendly.

Fasten one end of the elastic plastic strap to the tachograph according to the installation instructions.

Compared with the tachograph, the original rearview mirror has a much larger visual area.

Fix the DASH CAM on the original rearview mirror with elastic plastic straps. Although the elastic plastic bandage has some elasticity, and there are also several buttonholes designed on it to adjust the tightness, it is still a little short for the rear-view mirror of my car. It took a lot of effort to fix it, and at the beginning, I did not pay attention to the installation sequence of the bandage, which caused problems. The correct way is to fix the upper end first and then the lower end, which makes it easier to fix it.

After the tachograph is fixed, the wiring can be started. The wiring seems complicated, but it is not difficult. In particular, the attached wiring tool is more efficient. Just pay attention to the position, pass the power cable from the A-pillar through the co driver's glove box, and then use the floor mat to connect it to the on-board USB port power supply head on the center console, It's just that different models will be similar.

After wiring, remove the protective film of the screen, which shows the true face of the DASH CAM. The long and wide screen has first-rate visual effect, which is different from the common blue coated mirror. The 360 DASH CAM rearview mirror version uses the high brightness white mirror technology, which has higher reflectivity, clearer mirror display, and more true color.

After power on, the DASH CAM will automatically start, and a 5-inch color LCD screen will appear in the middle of the mirror, with a resolution of 854 * 480 and 16:9 picture setting.

Compared with Xiaoyi intelligent tachograph I used before, the rear-view mirror version of 360 DASH CAM has a larger screen and more colorful colors, but its brightness is low, and the display effect under strong light is not ideal. In addition, as for the fixing method, Xiaoyi's windshield suction cup fixing method is easy to fall off when encountering cold and hot changes, while the rear-view mirror version of 360 DASH CAM is more firmly fixed, Don't worry about falling off. I'm most satisfied with this.

The five keys at the bottom of the screen from left to right are emergency recording key, recording key, open key, album key and setting key. In the setting interface of the recorder, you can also temporarily act as function keys to operate and set the recorder.

The rearview mirror version of 360 DASH CAM automatically transmits WiFi signals by default. After connection, it can be connected to the 360 DASH CAM app installed in the mobile phone. The login interface can choose to use 360 account, or use WeChat, Tencent QQ or Sina Weibo to provide users with more convenience.

You can sign in every day when you enter the app, and the "cherries" you get from signing in can be cumulatively exchanged for good gifts, which virtually increases the stickiness of users. The app can prevent the loss of active users, and users can also get substantial benefits and mutual benefits in their persistent use.

The 360 DASH CAM app is divided into three major sections: service, popular and discovery. Users can make an appointment for the installation of the DASH CAM here, and can also learn the installation method by themselves according to the video installation guide. The popular and discovery section is also able to watch, comment on, and share videos taken by 360 DASH CAM released by netizens, and complain with everyone, Share driving skills and experience together.

It is more convenient to set various functions of the DASH CAM in the app, and can constantly improve and add functions by upgrading the firmware. The content recorded by the recorder can also be downloaded or viewed directly through the app, so that the content of the fixed screen can be extended to the mobile screen, or the entire Internet can be extended.

The recorder screen will automatically close if there is no operation 30 seconds after the tachograph is turned on. When the screen is turned off, the recorder is a normal rear-view mirror and has a wider field of vision than the normal rear-view mirror.

When driving or parking normally, you can press the power key at any time to light up the screen. When encountering a picture you want to record, you don't need to use your mobile phone to manipulate or call the recorder function. Just gently wave your hand at the gesture sensing area on the left side of the recorder to record the picture, which is easy and convenient. The recorder is equipped with a built-in gravity sensor, which can immediately start emergency recording when an emergency brake or collision is sensed during driving, so as to protect important records from being overwritten. When leaving the car, the recorder will start the parking monitoring mode. The recorder is equipped with a 500mAh high temperature resistant polymer lithium battery. When abnormal vibration is detected on the vehicle body, the recorder will start recording to monitor the abnormal conditions on site.

The camera of the recorder is equipped with an infrared filter, known as starlight night vision imaging, which can clearly shoot even in the dark basement environment.

The following is a live picture of the rearview mirror version of 360 DASH CAM. The shooting range covers three lanes, and the front and side license plates are clearly photographed. The effect is satisfactory.

The following are two videos, one is the shooting effect of 360 DASH CAM rear-view mirror version during the day and the other is the shooting effect at night. The road sections with complex traffic conditions are specially selected here, highlighting the value of the DASH CAM. The actual rolling video is about 80 megabytes per minute.

Just like you must buy insurance when you buy a car, it is a necessary investment to install a DASH CAM on your car for the sake of driving safety. The rear view mirror version of 360 DASH CAM is integrated with the original rear view mirror. It is easy to install and firmly fixed. It is both a screen and a mirror. When making a rear view mirror, the vision is wider and clearer. When making a display screen, the switch is fast. Full HD, high frame rate, large wide-angle sports video is not blocked at all, and the night can be as clear as the day; Parking monitoring, gesture sensing photography, gravity sensing emergency video and other high-tech practical functions work automatically, without manual intervention, always ready to escort your car; Connect to your mobile phone to view playback in real time and share videos with one click. Social life is so simple! Although there are some small regrets, such as the elastic plastic strap is too short, there is no prompt for gesture sensing photography, the rear-view mirror mode sacrifices the automatic anti dazzle of the original rear-view mirror, and the functions are not very rich, there is no vehicle deviation reminder, and it is unable to project mobile phone information to the display screen, but its price of 499 yuan is already high compared with similar products, It is a kind of rear view mirror tachograph worth buying.
