Top 20 Mirrored DVRs

The new recorder on the market has an undeniable advantage over analogues - the presence of three cameras and an audio channel that allows you to record events in front and behind the car, as well as inside the cabin, in Full HD format.Optionally, the Navitel navigator with maps of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine can be installed. The device supports connection to tablets and smartphones running on the Android platform via Wi-Fi, and is also able to update traffic information, but only when connected to a third-party device.

A very wide panoramic mirror, thanks to which it is possible to control the "dead" zones of the car. At the same time, the screen size of the registrar is small - only 2.4 inches. The camera has a 90° field of view, which allows you to cover the entire area in front of the car. Loop recording is supported, and the maximum allowed video format is 1280×720. Using these parameters, the manufacturer managed to get a completely acceptable and interesting model with the most affordable price. Reviews of the owners as a whole positively characterize this model, highlighting the correspondence of the satisfactory recording quality to the price of the device.

Almost any model of the DVR has autonomy. When unplugged from the car, it allows the camera to continue shooting and recording. But in most cases, these batteries are very weak and last for a maximum of a few minutes. But not in this case. The best lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 1000 mAh is installed here. With efficient power consumption, which is another plus of the device, this is enough for about a day of work. At the height and quality of shooting. Even the rear camera is able to drive it in HD, and the front one in Full HD. And all this at an angle of 150 degrees. Not the biggest, but definitely enough to see the road a few meters away from the car.

Many DVRs, especially the budget class, are able to simply shoot, and when the memory card is full, delete old videos, replacing them with new frames. This is normal, but there are often situations on the road that you would like to save, and with this device there will be no such problems. You just need to press one button and choose how many last seconds or minutes of the recording you want to save. They will be moved to a separate folder that the system will not touch when deleted. This works for both rear view and front view. In the rest - the most common DVR, not enough stars from the sky, but pleases us with its price tag and the simplicity of the interface.

When buying any electronic device, including a car DVR, you want it to work for a long time, and in case of breakdowns, the manufacturer takes over the costs of eliminating them. With Chinese brands, this rarely works, but not with iBOX. Here you get a three-year warranty, as well as adequate technical support and cooperation with a whole list of service centers. Any problem will be fixed as soon as possible. Although, judging by the reviews, they are extremely rare. As for the technical side, then everything is fine here. With the Jieli JL5601 processor, the camera can capture detailed footage in Full HD resolution and a 170-degree field of view.

A quad-core processor (1.3 GHz each) and a dual-core video accelerator provide fast multitasking performance. At the same time, the model has a 3G connection, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, an FM modulator, a satellite geolocation unit and a shock sensor. High quality recording is ensured by a wide-angle glass lens (140°), and the ability to connect a parking camera greatly expands the capabilities of the DVR. It is worth noting the screen, which occupies most of the mirror surface with anti-reflective coating. This equipment is installed instead of a regular rear-view mirror and does not attract the attention of outsiders at all.

The video recorder, integrated into the overlay on the rear-view mirror and running Android OS, has the versatility of modern gadgets. The screen, hidden under the mirror surface, has a diagonal of 10 inches and is perfectly visible from the driver's seat. The recording quality corresponds to high-end cameras, and the ability to connect an additional backlit camera (included in the kit) allows you to organize not only a circular view, but also purchase an excellent parking assistant. A rational addition is the presence of a G-sensor, GPS and GPRS 3G. The last option allows you to receive messages to the number when the shock sensor is triggered.

Many users forget that a car DVR is not a personal computer or a tablet. They install applications that are simply not available to such weak devices. You can't do that with this model. It uses a closed version of the operating system, and you won’t be able to download some game from the Play Market. At the same time, you will not experience a lack of functions either.By default, there are 11 applications, including navigators, programs for pairing with other devices, as well as software that is directly responsible for the registrar itself. Another advantage is frost resistance. You do not need to take this mirror home with you in the cold.

The gadget runs on the Android OS, which provides a number of advantages, one of which is access to Google Play applications. You can use microSD memory chips up to 128 GB to save video. This attribute must support high recording speed for reliable and stable operation of the DVR. Hidden under the mirror surface, the monitor is perfectly visible at any angle, and its diagonal size (almost 10 inches, almost the entire lining area) does not strain the driver's eyesight and does not distract him from the road. The presence of a wireless interface (Wi-Fi, 4G, Bluetooth 4.0) allows the DVR to access the Internet and connect to any device.

Choosing the cheapest DVR, you have to give up some features. On the other hand, the best gadget will cost accordingly. But there is always something in between, and now it is in front of us. This is a model running the Android 5.0 operating system. A navigator with maps is installed here by default, as well as a number of applications that you can remove or add new ones at your discretion. This is not just a mirror, but a full-fledged computer, albeit rather weak, but capable of performing basic functions and not shocking with its price. In addition, the camera here shoots in Full HD resolution and at 30 frames per second.

Before us is probably the most non-standard DVR that your car has seen. It's not business as usual here. First, a very specific camera resolution. It shoots in 2304x1296 pixels. The picture from the camera is displayed on a 4.3-inch screen, which is also an unusual decision by the manufacturer. But the radar detector works both with GPS satellites and with the GLONASS system. The list of tracked speed detectors is quite large and is constantly updated by changing the firmware. A separate advantage is the temperature range. From -30 to +50 degrees, the device will work unquestioningly.

Sometimes simplicity becomes the main advantage of such devices. First of all, we have a mirror and, despite the additional functions, it must fulfill its main task. In this case, all the information is compactly placed on a small screen that practically does not block the rear view. The model is perfectly adjusted and does not cause difficulties with control, even despite the lack of a touch screen, which has long become the norm for such gadgets. The device is controlled from physical buttons located at the bottom of the mirror. The interface is thought out so that any function can be accessed by pressing just two buttons.

Almost all DVRs come with their own batteries. But their quality in most cases leaves much to be desired. In this case, a lithium-ion module with a capacity of 1500 mAh is placed on board the device, and this is the largest battery in such devices. When all functions are turned on, the gadget is able to work for more than a day, and in standby mode - up to 4 days. Excellent autonomy and fast charging are its main advantages. Along with a 160 degree camera. But a small five-inch screen and the impossibility of increasing it will be attributed to the minuses, as well as low temperature stability. In winter, it is better to take the device home, and not leave it in the car.

Often, the radar detector is included in the list of options just for show. A low-quality module only tracks a couple of models and does not see others. This mirror is able to see almost any equipment ever used by the police. The list of monitored devices includes both outdated units and completely new ones. Moreover, the device system allows you to update the firmware and supplement the list. That is, your radar detector will be relevant for many years. Also note the versatility of the gadget. It works simultaneously with both GPS satellites and GLONASS. A wide-angle camera with a protected lens will be a nice bonus. Still, we have a DVR in front of us, and only then a radar detector.

Recording widescreen video from the front and rear cameras has consistently high quality both day and night. In this case, the remote video device can also be used when parking.The presence of a satellite receiver allows not only to fix the speed, but also to receive notifications about stationary objects of control on the track. Playme VEGA also has a radar part, thanks to which the driver receives an early warning about approaching the mobile radar systems that are in service with the traffic police. In any case, the owners who have made their choice in favor of this DVR confidently declare that there are no cases of failure.

The interface of this gadget most closely resembles the screen of a mobile phone or tablet.The Android operating system is used here, but it is completely closed, that is, it will not work to install any applications from the official store. However, this is even good, since the device's processor is rather weak, and 500 megabytes of RAM will not let you roam. However, they are quite enough for the basic functionality of the gadget. The navigator, radar detector and the DVR itself work perfectly. A wide-angle camera with a 170-degree view will be another nice bonus.

This model uses a closed operating system. That is, you will not be able to download any additional applications or remove existing ones. Despite this, the device provides excellent opportunities for customization. Any icon, any application can be moved, reduced or enlarged. And also completely remove from the main screen. It is very convenient, since many functions in such devices are never used at all or they are performed by a standard computer in the car. We also note the high quality and durability of the device.The brand is well-known and values ​​its reputation very much. He is often called the best and gives first places in various nominations.

The Chinese giant Xiaomi does not disregard any industry where electronics is used. Now he began to produce car DVRs, and according to the established tradition, he equips them with all possible functions. There is a radar detector with an updated list of devices. There is a built-in navigator and access to the Speedcam service. Even for multimedia software there was a place. Now your mirror is also a TV, and your car is a real mobile Internet station. The device works with its own SIM card, which requires Internet access. She can share it with other devices or use it to update apps. Without it, it's a normal DVR.

With this device, your car is able to become a mobile Internet module. All thanks to the built-in Wi-Fi HOTSPOT function in the DVR. It is enough to install a SIM card and turn on the distribution of a wireless connection. The radius is small, but it is quite enough for comfortable use of network gadgets within the car. The rest of the functions are fine as well. There is a radar detector with a constantly updated list of tracked speed control devices. There are navigators and even multimedia software. All programs are regularly updated, and you do not have to do it yourself. Special thanks to the developers for the convenience of the interface.

A car mirror is a small accessory. With modern technologies, putting advanced functionality into it is not a problem. It is much more difficult to display all the necessary data on the screen, and even so that they do not interfere with each other. This manufacturer has found the best way out of the situation - an overlay. All options can be displayed simultaneously, while the camera will continue to display the image, and the mirror function will not disappear anywhere. All icons and labels are translucent, spaced compactly across the display. They can be changed, disabled and transferred as you wish. This is the most convenient multifunctional gadget with a huge list of features.
