The need for a flight recorder in a car has long ceased to be controversial. And now the lawmakers finally admitted that the video material obtained with his help is a full-fledged proof in litigation.
So, what are the parameters of DVRs that are significant, and which are "screwed" for the beauty of the wrapper?
Quality of shooting
This characteristic consists of several components. In particular, it is the optics and the matrix. The more quality the components, the better the picture will turn out.
The most common is FullHD frame resolution - 1920x1080, rarely used SuperHD - 2340x1296 pixels. In most cases, recording occurs at a speed of 60 and 30 frames per second. The highest detail is recommended to be activated in urban conditions, when the flow rate varies up to 80 km / h, FullHD will be useful outside the city, and also at night with comparatively less photosensitivity( ISO).The optimal resolution of the matrix is 2 or 4 megapixels. The speed is provided by the central processor, and the correctness of the storage is provided by the built-in memory card. By the way, it should be chosen on the basis of 7-8 hours of continuous operation of the recorder, if you leave the device in the car at night, or 3-4 hours if you are accustomed to take it home, since only 15-20 minutes of a fixed image will be significant in an accident. The current class is 10.
A characteristic feature of car recorders is a wide viewing angle. The average value for today is 130-140 degrees. This is enough to cover 2-3 bands in the passing and opposite directions.
Additional modules. What is needed, and what can I refuse?
IR illumination .Sales consultants literally sing an ode to small lights on the front of the camera. In fact, it turns out that they are useless, since their power is enough for illumination of 50 cm, which can be completely neglected during the movement of the car. An additional obstacle is the windscreen, which completely illuminates the frame.
Display .Certainly, a useful element. It is useful in the event of a dispute with other participants in the movement and / or traffic police, which is more convenient to settle on the spot than to bring to court. Do not pursue the size of the screen. This is just the case when it does not matter in principle. Also, give preference to the physical buttons on the case, rather than the touchscreen - less chance of failure in an emergency situation.
Fastening .Most gadgets are attached using suction cups. There are ways of fixing by means of adhesive tape or rubber mats, however they are not so convenient to use and are not reliable. Do not want to attract the attention of carvers? Then look for a quick-release option. In addition, the advantage will be the availability of rotary elements for fine-tuning the angle of shooting, as well as rotation in the direction of the driver's and passenger side windows.
G-sensor / accelerometer .It is intended for automatic protection against erasure of a video fragment with the road accident recorded on it.
GPS receiver .It is impossible to say that it belongs to the category "Must have".Nevertheless, in some circumstances, an indication of the location of the machine and the speed of movement can be decisive. The coordinates acquire special strength when the date and time are correctly set.
Radar detector .There are two main types of combined instruments. In the first group, the ambush indicator works by fixing the physical radiation from the photo and video fixing complexes, the second version compares the location of the vehicle( if there is a GPS module) with a radar base regularly updated by the manufacturer. As practice shows, the last group becomes more useful every day due to the increased number of stationary road systems fixing the speed, not analyzing the reflected radiation, and processing the image by means of special software.
Record and play sound .The presence of an audio record will never be superfluous, but it's hardly worth hoping that words will become discernible when you try to listen to them through small speakers.

From reviews:
" 1.Simplicity and convenience: tinsel in the form of GPS, FM modulators, radar detectors and other Labuda is completely absent. I deliberately avoided all this rabble, so as not to overpay. It, of course, looks great when on a box in a large font it is indicated that there is both that and this, and that the only weak point is the inability to boil a strawberry jelly. But, frankly pretending that I actually will use, I understood: I need only a recorder, not Baikonur cosmodrome.
2. Plausible picture. Let's be frank with each other: to consider gos.nomer properly when auto - closer to the center of the frame. Wide-angle lenses distort the edges of the frame - the information is distorted. And in the datacam the image is not barrel. Therefore, even in the edges of the picture, the same state numbers are visible to cheers. With large viewing angles, I did not even think of buying: of course, a wide angle selects more information, but what's the use of it if you can not make out anything.
3. Assembled in Taiwan: the majority of registrars, who kept, as if molded from improvised materials. With datacam - otherwise. Factory origin is obvious. "
