preface:
As a working class, the author worked hard for many years and finally saved money to buy a car and become an owner. While excited, he also added a lot of troubles. Thinking of driving his car around every day and often crossing the streets, he would inevitably encounter small accidents such as scratching and rear end collision, If I'm unlucky, I may also encounter an old Lai who shirks his responsibility or deliberately touches porcelain. So soon after I bought the car, I installed a dash cam on my car. However, I am not very satisfied with my recorder. Not only is the night vision not good, but it is also inconvenient to snap and download driving videos. Goluk, an innovative brand in the tachograph industry, has just launched this T3, which can make up for my regrets in terms of functions. If you want to know how this tachograph works, please follow me to experience it.
1、 Unpacking and appearance
The packaging box of Geeluke T3 is designed as a gift box, which is very exquisite, with its registered trademark, product name and product appearance picture on the front. The hardness of the packaging box is very high. The inner box is designed with double-layer cardboard, and the box is not deformed when pressed by hand. The high quality of the packaging box ensures Intelligent hardware Safety during transportation and distribution.
The English LOGO on the side of the packing box is printed in four colors of blue, green, yellow and red, and the active dynamic text modeling gives a lovely feeling. The sentence "share your life aesthetics" shows that Geeluke has devoted much attention to the aesthetic design of products.
The back of the packaging box is printed with the detailed production information of the product, as well as the barcode of the product, main product functions and other information. "Every step you take seriously is an epic", which corresponds to the name of the product series. It shows that Geeluke, who likes innovation, is confident in creating classics.
The first thing you can see when you open the box is a card. The front and back of the card are full of life philosophy words, full of positive energy of soul chicken soup, which is very artistic! Different from the design of gift boxes of many other products, the gap between the inner box and the outer box of the packaging box is large, so the inner box can be easily pulled out. Personally, it is a little big. If you just hold the outer box and lift it up, the inner box will come out directly.
The design of the inner box of Geeluke is also very exquisite. The left side is the host and remote control, and the right side is the paper materials such as product accessories and instructions. The product accessories and instructions are packed separately, and the packaging is designed with humanized buckles for easy removal.
The elaborate design and exquisite workmanship of Geeluke T3 can be seen from the packaging box.
Even the interior of the accessory box is designed with partition to separate the accessories. On the one hand, it looks very neat, On the other hand, it also avoids collision between accessories.
The polar passenger T3 host is also wrapped with transparent plastic, which can protect the host and facilitate the removal from the box. The remote control is a more brilliant design of this product. With this remote control, you can capture more conveniently, and ensure that you will not miss any wonderful or shocking moment. T3 is very small, and it is only the size of a pocket flashlight. If it is placed in the car, it will not block the view. If it is equipped with another bracket, it can also be used as a portable camera. It is a good option to record the wonderful moment of sprint when you are doing outdoor cycling, cross-country running and other sports.
The exquisite workmanship of Geeluke is mainly reflected in its host. The hard stone gray shell is coated with a matte abrasion coating, which feels comfortable and does not leave fingerprints. Even if it is slightly scratched, it is not easy to produce slip marks. The metal luster decoration around the 141 ° diagonal wide-angle lens of all glass adds color to the product. The Polar Traveler T3 has a large aperture F2.0, aspherical full glass high-definition lens, and its security indicator is below the camera. The logo on the fuselage adopts CNC engraving technology, which is extremely three-dimensional and adds an artistic flavor to the product.
The end of Polar Traveler T3 near the camera is its microphone, which is used to pick up the sound of the surrounding environment. There is an indicator light in its center, which is its WIFI status indicator light. When the power is turned on, it will emit blue light. When the WIFI is not turned on, it will flash continuously, and it will become normally on after it is turned on. There is also a power/recording indicator on the side edge away from the lens. When the power is turned on, it will emit a green light, and when the recording starts, the light will turn red. It can be seen from the design position of these two indicators that the manufacturer must have fully demonstrated during the design. WIFI indicators and power/recording indicators are indicators that need to be seen frequently at ordinary times. Therefore, they are designed on the side close to the driver so that you can see them when you look up, which is very convenient.
There is a lock key on the inner side of the body of Polar Passenger T3 far away from the lens. T3 is used to firmly fix the body on the base to ensure the stability of the body during the driving process and avoid the video jitter. In the actual experience, I feel that the lock key is relatively hard. When taking the main body off the base, you can't use brute force. It is easier to take it off with skillful force.
When some operations are carried out and the machine is switched on or off, the polar passenger T3 will have voice prompts. Its speakers are on the opposite side of the lens, and three oval horns are set side by side, which looks very neat. On the right side of the speaker hole is the logo of Polar Passengers, and on the left side is an icon representing video recording. Viewed from the side, they are in line with the power/recording indicator light and lock key. It is consistent with the streamlined appearance of the fuselage.
At the end of the fuselage far from the driver, there are two sockets. At the center of the side is the MICRO USB power interface, and at one side is the MICRO SD card slot. Since the machine is equipped with a Samsung 16GTF card, it is generally enough for use. If you want to purchase a large capacity card by yourself, it is recommended that you purchase a TF card of Class10 specification from a regular channel, otherwise it may fail to read and write. During the comparison test, I found the original Intelligent tachograph The TF card inside has been broken for more than a month, and there were no driving records during this period. Fortunately, there was no accident during this period, otherwise the recorder would really be a decoration.
Text materials attached to the product include: product warranty card, use guide, certificate of conformity, greeting letter, etc.
The on-board power adapter configured for polar passenger T3 uses dual USB interface output, so it can supply power to another device powered by USB connection line in addition to the recorder.
The base bracket of Geeluke T3 adopts the lock design, and the position and size of the lock key on the lock mouth and recorder body are very suitable. After locking, the body and bracket are closely fitted to ensure that there is no shaking. There is a layer of 3M double-sided adhesive on the bottom of the base bracket, which is used to paste the bracket on the front windshield. The 3M adhesive has a very high viscosity, and once it is firmly pasted, it is difficult to remove it, so you must find the correct position before pasting it during installation, otherwise it will take a lot of effort to remove it and re paste it, and even damage the windshield film. I didn't dare to paste it once at first. I first used other double-sided stickers to paste the base on the front windshield. After a few days, I would tear it off and paste it again after confirming that the position is appropriate. Of course, the firmness of other double-sided stickers is much worse. It can only be temporarily replaced for a few days. At the same time, protective measures should be taken, otherwise, it would not pay off if the machine fell down and broke down.
Geeluke T3 is equipped with a physical wireless remote control. I think this design is one of its highlights. As we all know, many smart tachographs use mobile APP to control the recorder, but when there is an emergency, there is often no time to open the mobile APP to operate, which objectively makes the use of the capture function of the smart tachograph very low, With this wireless remote control, the results are quite different. Paste it in a convenient position in the car. In case of emergencies, press it to store the videos within six seconds before and after the button. When time comes, open the mobile phone APP to connect with the recorder, and the captured videos will be automatically downloaded to the mobile phone, which is very convenient.
The USB connection cable attached to the Polar Traveler T3 is made of sufficient materials, soft and flexible, and long enough to be used even from the ceiling to the A pillar and then down through the glove box.
In addition to the wireless remote control, base bracket, vehicle power adapter and USB connection cable mentioned above, the accessories included are: 3M double-sided adhesive tape * 1, fixed line buckle * 8, and remote control double-sided adhesive tape * 2. The accessories are very sufficient.
2、 Installation Experience
It is easy to install Geeluke T3 on the car. To use the tone of Song Dandan, that is: How many steps are there to install the recorder on the car? Answer: 1. Stick the support; 2、 Install T3; Answer it! It's so simple, it's such a user-friendly design, and the most important thing is that it's pasted very firmly, and you can't pick it off after installing it.
The following is the effect picture after my first installation. At that time, it was pasted with other double-sided adhesive tape, which was not very firm, but was reinforced again with adhesive tape. Otherwise, I was really worried about falling down and damaging the machine. Except for the double-sided adhesive tape, all the others are original, and the effect looks very good! The compact body is just hidden behind the interior rear-view mirror, which will not form a new line of sight block. The lens of Geeluke T3 can rotate 360 degrees, which can easily capture the wonderful moments outside the car or take a happy group photo for the whole family inside the car.
The wireless remote control is glued to the left behind the steering wheel. It is relatively secret here, and the buttons are very convenient. With a slight extension of my arm, I can press the remote control buttons. Compared with sticking it on the steering wheel, sticking it here will not cause incorrect pressing and will not damage the original interior decoration style.
The following figure is The effect of the power adapter after it is plugged in is very suitable. It will not shake after it is plugged in. It fits the socket of the cigarette lighter very well. The spare USB interface can charge the mobile phone.
The following two pictures are taken in the daytime with Polar Passengers T3. The definition is quite good. The Polar Traveler T3 has a F2.0 large aperture, aspherical full glass HD lens, which enables it to take clear and bright video images. In addition, the application of T3 in distortion correction, backlight compensation, strong light suppression, color enhancement and other technologies is of great benefit to enhance the imaging effect of the image. Compared with the other recorder in my car, the color calibration of Polar T3 is more accurate, and the video taken is closer to the real color of the scene.
Traveler T3 has WDR wide dynamic technology, which has better depth of field, greater light inflow, and better night shooting effect. The scene taken at night is still very good, and even the details of dark places can be clearly distinguished.
The polar passenger T3 adopts Panasonic's low illumination high-performance sensor, which makes the video color more bright and the weak light shooting ability stronger. Even in rainy nights, the polar passenger T3's shooting performance is still excellent.
Another product feature of Geeluke T3 is its video sharing function. The APP community square has wonderful video images uploaded by many Geeluke friends. You can interact here, praise various positive energy, and expose those who do not comply with traffic regulations and uncivilized driving behaviors. Intelligent tachograph for polar passengers All settings are also achieved through the mobile phone APP, which connects with T3 through the WIFI hotspot. If the function of automatically downloading captured videos is set, the mobile phone APP will connect with T3 successfully, The APP will automatically download the offline video captured by wireless remote control to the mobile phone. If the video is captured when the APP is connected to T3, the captured video will be directly downloaded to the mobile phone. The video saved to the mobile phone can be forwarded by one button and sent to major mainstream media public platforms. After many days of experience, I found that the APP did not switch smoothly between WIFI hotspot and WIFI. When I use the APP to view videos on T3 or set a function of T3, the APP can automatically transfer the phone from WIFI connection to hotspot connection; However, after exiting the recorder interface, the mobile phone cannot automatically switch back to WIFI connection from the hotspot connection status. You must manually turn on the WIFI switch.
