Navitel R700GPS Dual— new product on the market for video recording of road conditions! Essentially this
Navitel R700GPS Dual
For more than 2 years, our editorial team has succeededget acquainted with different models of recorders from Navitel. There were also budget models, there were also premium smart mirrors with 2 cameras (Navitel MR250). So, the example of the R700GPS Dual clearly shows how the company is improving the convenience of its products. I hope the guys will not change course and will continue in the same spirit. Finally, the registrar was equipped with such a good-quality suction cup, now there is no need to calculate the seat on the forehead, because with 3M tape there was no second chance to outweigh. The software has become faster, more settings have been added. The plastic of the case, buttons, everything has become more pleasant to the touch. There are, of course, disadvantages, which I will talk about during the review, but they are not so critical that they immediately draw your attention to them.
Opportunities
- Two cameras— This is great!No, really, it’s calmer when the situation is recorded not only from the front, but also from behind. Now you have 2 invisible witnesses who will never change their minds and are completely at your disposal. The main module has a photosensitive sensor from Sony with the Night Vision prefix, and in low light conditions the picture is really quite bright! The rear view camera is protected from water and dust, which means it can be mounted outside without problems and is not affected by environmental influences. The resolution is of course not Full HD, but HD, but believe me, more is not needed, the memory card is not “rubber”.
- GPS-informer allows you to receive currentinformation about speed cameras, road works, dangerous areas along your route. In addition, you can display the current speed of the car on the recorder display (I previously considered this function useless, but over time I realized that the speed information is still read out periodically). By the way, other models from Navitel also have similar functionality, for example, R600 GPS, R1000 GPS. Thanks to the built-in GPS antenna, the device records your movements, which allows you to track the movement of the car and read routes in the application.
- Wi-Fimodule for recorder management and viewingvideo files directly from your smartphone. There’s no point in arguing about the convenience of this function. A card reader and a computer are not always at hand, and situations on the roads are different and sometimes it is important to react quickly, wouldn’t you agree?

Video quality
Sony has taken more than justmobile photography, but also video recording devices. If a sensor from a Japanese company is installed in the recorder, then you can be sure that the picture will please you (within the budget of the device, of course). And if the sensor has the coveted night vision prefix, then you are generally very lucky and in the dark on your memory card there will be one of the brightest, most detailed and readable videos!
SONY IMX307 sensor which is installed in NavitelThe R700GPS Dual produces a really stable and detailed picture. Yes, this is not a new sensor (it began to be produced in 2018), but it managed to prove itself on the positive side and is installed on many models of famous brands, including Xiaomi 70mai recorders, which says a lot.

Feedback
I installed Navitel R700GPS Dual exactly as 3weeks ago, before that I carefully formatted the flash drive (new recorder — new data). Installed, configured and never touched again. Everything works like clockwork. I started the car, then the DVR automatically turned on, 5 seconds, and it was already recording. The device proved to be stable in the heat, we'll see how it will be in the winter, but I think there won't be any problems.
I really liked the mount on the windshield andconnection system with the main device. The hinge is quite rigid, which is definitely a plus. When using control keys or accidentally touching — the recorder will not change its position and you will not have to re-search the horizon and look out for the racks on the sides. In practice, this is indeed an important nuance.
What did not like
On the downside, I would attribute a slightly confused menu andthe inability to control the sound volume of the GPS informer warnings. I was not the only one who wrote about this, and for some reason the Navitel engineers did not add this function, although the overall volume of the device can be controlled. Also, I would attribute the work of the Navitel DVR Center application on iOS to the shortcomings. Of course, you can use it, but at times it works unstable. I could not catch the patterns, but there were no problems with an Android smartphone! The program for Windows (Navitel DVR Player) is very pleased! Comfortable and functional, nothing more! We are waiting for the version for MacOS.
Total
For the rest, Navitel R700GPS Dual is one of thethe best classic windshield recorders in the segment up to 8,000 rubles. Golden mean! Stable fast operation of the device. The video quality is excellent, detailed, even in the dark. The second camera is definitely a necessary thing. And GPS and Wi-Fi generally come as a nice bonus and outweigh the balance of the choice between competitors and the R700GPS Dual towards the latter. It's nice when installed and forgotten.
