2. DVR 70MAI A500S Pro Plus
There is no point in listing the characteristics anymore, soAs they strongly coincide with the previous ones, only one thing can be highlighted: the recording will be in 2592×1944, which means 4:3 mode (this is not very good). The rear camera is quite bad (users highlight the hazy picture and the fact that the license plates are only visible up close). But there is a plus that other opponents did not have: this DVR records the movement of your car. In the application you can see the exact route, speed and how far you have traveled in total. In night mode, the main camera will please you; you can clearly see car license plates due to the built-in technologies (anti-fog and HDR).

The characteristics of this gadget can be calledthe best in our top: 4K recording for the main camera, 1920×1080 for the rear camera. Of course, parking mode, loop recording, GPS, Wi-Fi, etc. But the build quality does not match the price: inexpensive plastic. The numbers are very legible in any light, even at night. Users noted a flaw in the mount: on difficult roads the camera shakes due to the weak mount on a hinge. The rear camera rotates the image 180º horizontally (in other words, it mirrors). Control of buttons on the device and through the mobile application.

Another mirror video recorder.12 inch GPS mirror with two cameras. Both are filmed in Full HD. Records sound very well. Here I would note the best rear camera of all the presented devices. Touch control. A very unpleasant minus, you can not change the exposure, so there may be small light on a sunny day.

10. DVR E-ACE B28
The first DVR with three cameras(the main one can only move vertically, salon and rear). It comes with a 6m cable for the rear view camera, a 3m power cord, two suction cup mounts (users note that it is not the best) and 3M tape (which is worth using). The main camera records in Full HD. Overheating was also noted, so it is not known how it can behave in the sun. In fact, for a ridiculous price, we get a rather fat kit, many take this option because of the rear view camera.

Regular DVR or mirror - what to choose?
E-ACE A08 style mirror recorders do notblock the view and are not so visible from the outside, which reduces the risk of theft. In turn, DVRs of the usual format are more versatile: they can be rearranged in any other car, while the mirror does not always fit between the sun visors. You just need to decide what is more important to you. Devices with support for rear view cameras are available in any format.
Does the DVR work when the engine is off?
It all depends on the model of the registrar, andthe car itself. After turning off the ignition in some cars, the power to the cigarette lighter socket is not interrupted, therefore, recording can be done 24/7. More often the power is turned off, in this case, some DVRs are equipped with a battery. In the parking mode (“parking monitoring”), the device wakes up when the shock sensor is triggered, removes this moment and goes back to sleep until the next awakening. This function is most successfully implemented in 70mai Dash Cam Pro, a full charge is enough for about 40 activations.
What memory card to buy in the DVR?
Since the videos captured on the recorder willperiodically overwritten, it is better to immediately invest in a memory card of a well-known brand. She will live longer, and will definitely correspond to the declared speed class. For all devices from our rating, cards labeled Class 10, UHS-I (U1) or V10 are suitable. There is no need for faster ones, if you really pay, then for hardy models like the Samsung PRO Endurance, sharpened for continuous video shooting. And one more tip: choose a card with the maximum supported capacity (usually 32/64 GB). So she does not have to work for wear, and records for several trips will always be stored in memory.
Is an action camera suitable instead of a DVR?
In general, yes, but there are nuances.First, you will need an action camera with loop recording mode and the ability to shoot while charging (the built-in battery will last for an hour and a half at best). A mount is already included with the DVR, for the action camera you will have to come up with your own. Cameras sometimes give a better picture, but under the scorching sun they can overheat and turn off. Finally, in an extreme camera, shooting will have to be started and stopped manually.
Rear view camera - why is it needed and how does it work?
This camera is installed in the rearvehicle and is automatically activated when reverse gear is engaged to make parking easier. Additionally, parking lines can be displayed, they help to estimate the distance to the nearest obstacle. There is another mode of operation, when recording is carried out simultaneously with filming on the DVR camera.
In the dry residue
If the DVR is not 100% capableprotect you from an accident, then you can certainly prove your case. And the costs of this device are incommensurable with the benefits that it can bring. Although each buyer of the DVR secretly hopes that he will never come in handy for their intended purpose, but do not forget about the regular opportunities to record an interesting video or take a picture while driving so that you can later share it with your friends on social networks. Few sellers talk about this feature, but all users of DVRs regularly use it.
