preface

The recorder industry is a new industry in recent years. After all, there are more and more cars on the road. Basically, every family has a car. Moreover, because the current traffic situation in the city is not very good, there are always people who are anxious to change their way in traffic jams. If they are not careful, traffic accidents may occur. What's more, the problem of "touching porcelain" is a headache, It's hard to say that there is no recorder, so today I will introduce a kind of staring driving recorder to you, which can help you drive safely. What's more, Staring and Shooting has done quite well in the recorder industry. It is a well-known brand with a very loud name. At present, Staring and Shooting has produced many series, among which the MINI series has always been popular. After all, it is small, convenient and won't block the vision. Today, we introduce the mini3, the third generation product of Staring and Shooting DASH CAM MINI.

Product packaging and appearance design

First, look at the outer packaging. As always, it is black packaging. The rectangular packaging box and the gilded logo of mini3 make the box feel good in the hand. The black packaging is simple but not simple, and looks very grand.

When we opened the packing box, we first saw a line on the instruction: witness and share. It seems that the manufacturer is very careful. Obviously, these are all designed lines, but I have to say that the packaging and internal placement of the products are carefully done.

We took out the manual and saw some accessories, including the body, power cord, bracket and data cable. The overall product looks very comfortable

Now we take out all the accessories: recorder, photo button, bracket, power cord, data cable, vehicle charging head (used to connect the recorder power supply), installation tool rocker, and of course, 3M glue. The manufacturer is very considerate. Even the installation tools are brought for you.

The design of the mini3 seems different from that of the previous MINI series. All the recorders I have used before need to install a memory card. This design is still rotatable. The rack is designed with a power supply and rotation integrated, and it can still rotate 360 ° freely. In addition, the mini3 is a built-in eMMC storage. I got 16G memory and another 32G memory version, Previously, it was necessary to buy a memory card separately to use it, and sometimes when the card was loose, the video could not be recorded. This design is actually an integrated design, which really solves this problem. In addition, it also has its own data cable to facilitate the export of data from the recorder.

The body is also designed in pure black, which feels very good. It uses a cylindrical design, which looks very tall. The mini3 still uses the non screen design of staring and shooting, which is small in size and does not affect the vision. When watching, you can view the recorded pictures and photos as long as you open the APP on your phone.

The camera on the fuselage has a pixel of 500W, which can record 1600PHD video, and uses a large aperture of 1.8. You can imagine the imaging effect. In order to meet the needs of shooting in various situations, WDR wide dynamic and light dark double exposure technology is also added, which can shoot clearly in theory no matter what the situation.

The side of the fuselage is equipped with MIC and reset holes, which are also convenient to use. Compared with the previous MINI, I feel that the mini 3 bracket is a bit bulky and not as light as before. Fortunately, if the hollow design is fully covered, it will not be so beautiful. The back of the bracket is equipped with 3M glue, as long as the windshield is pasted at a suitable location.

The fuselage can rotate 360 ° without considering the angle, which is very convenient. The design of the wireless photo button is also different from the previous one. The original one is round, but the current one is hard and modern.

Use feeling

Now let's start to install the recorder. First, determine the installation position. Generally speaking, it will be installed in the middle. Because the pictures are recorded completely, please ignore my recorder, which is also a staring camera. I am also an old user~~~~

When we took off the previous recorder, we compared it. Although it is not the same price, the workmanship is very good. This recorder has been used for a long time and there is no problem. Therefore, the big brand is trustworthy.

The line I used was a concealed wiring from the inside of the left A-pillar, and then it was threaded under the foot pad and installed to the cigarette lighter. The length of the line was also suitable. If it was an SUV, the line might be a little short. We tore off the 3M glue, pasted it to the middle position, and then adjusted the lower angle to use it. I have to say that it looks very beautiful after installation.

We open the mobile phone link APP, because I only have a staring camera, and there is also an APP. You can download it from the official website or from the mobile phone's own market. We open the APP to preview the picture, and then adjust the angle of the recorder according to the picture, and adjust it to its own suitable position. Then install the camera button, and you can just touch it.

Now let's take a test photo. A wonderful thing happened. Press the photo key of mini3. The previous recorder and mini3 took photos at the same time. I'll go and control the photos of the two recorders with one key... Well, I'll study it...

The following is the results of my tests in recent days. The pictures recorded at night or at any time are clear and the colors are real.

Needless to say, the design of APP has basic functions and recorder settings. It is really convenient to query violations.

Postscript

I have used a lot of recorders, such as Mijia's, Jiluke's, Meow's, and of course, some of them stare at the camera, but I think the best way to use them is to stare at the camera... There are many advantages and disadvantages. For example, there are conflicts with the previous recorders. One press the photo button and both recorders take photos. So far, only this problem has been found. Everything else is very good. Finally, I hope that the staring shooting can be done better and better. Finally, I will add this sentence: witness and share together....
