Criteria for choosing a DVR for a car
The selection of the best DVRs for our rating was carried out taking into account the technical characteristics of the devices, the optimal ratio of price and quality, popularity (number of sales) and user feedback (frequency of warranty claims, complaints about reliability, etc.).
Below we list the characteristics of the DVR, the most important for the car owner:
Max. video resolution – affects the quality of the recorded video. The higher the resolution, the better the detail. The most common resolution today is 1920x1080.
Viewing angle (diagonal) – The higher the viewing angle, the more space in width the DVR can record. It is recommended to buy devices with a viewing angle of 110 degrees. In this case, road signs and cars moving in the adjacent lane will fall into the registrar's lens.
Shock sensor (G-sensor) - if the car gets into an accident or is accidentally hit in the parking lot, then the moment of impact will be recorded by the DVR and recorded in a separate file. This is done so that the device does not overwrite the most important fragment of the video.
Battery capacity (mAh) - the higher the battery capacity, the longer the device can work without being connected to the car's power supply (cigarette lighter).Modern video recorders are able to work autonomously from 1 hour, more expensive devices - from 8 hours. The capacity of the battery can be useful in case of a power failure of the car during an accident.
Built-in memory - Absolutely all DVRs are supplied with a memory card on which recording is being made. But video files can also be recorded to the device's internal memory. A large amount of built-in memory can come in handy when removing a memory card, for example, when it needs to be transferred to third parties (if your DVR recorded someone's accident).
Number of cameras – More expensive devices can be equipped with several cameras at once, and recording will be carried out on several channels. One camera will capture what is happening in front of the car, and the other, for example, what is happening in the cabin. The second camera can capture what is happening behind the car and help the driver when parking.
GPS and GLONASS - satellites of the global system will help to accurately determine the location of the car and measure its speed.
