【The owner's family car knowledge】If the functions of the driving recorder are all the same, just buy one at random, then you are really wrong. Anyway, you have to pay for it. Why not just buy a better quality one. After experiencing the four driving recorders, I really feel that the quality and trial experience are still different, including product texture, video recording clarity, ease of use, and whether it is prone to crashes.
● Types of driving recorder
In addition to our common type of driving recorder that is attached to the car glass, there are also rearview mirror type driving recorders on the market. Both have the same function, but the installation method is different.
As for which one is easy to use? I personally think that it is still the traditional easy to use, or this is just a personal use habit. However, when driving, especially at night, if the main screen of the driving recorder is turned on, it is often difficult to see what is displayed in the rear mirror.
● 4 test products
A total of 4 driving recorders participated in this test: Zhongheng SG30+; MATEGO MG300K; Fengnuo; Truth Horizon driving recorder zx-816. Except for Fonno, which is hung on the rear-view mirror, the others are traditional recorders.
● Our test standards
As a good product, it must undergo various tests. We have formulated the following standards based on stability, security, video clarity and effects. When car owners choose other driving recorders, they can also make their own judgments based on the following criteria. In the end, what kind of driving recorder I chose.
1. Product workmanship/detailed design comparison
Generally, the appearance of the fuselage of the ordinary copycat machine is relatively crude, especially the connection gap of the fuselage. Observing whether the workmanship is rough or not is also a reference factor for evaluating the quality of the product. In terms of hardware standards, the use of a wide-angle lens will greatly increase the shooting range of the driving recorder. It is generally recommended to use around 120°~140°, because the wide-angle range is too large and the distortion is serious, which will also affect the shooting effect on both sides.
2. Visual angle test
The cameras used by the driving recorder are basically wide-angle cameras, we mainly look at the width of the angle of view. Test method: Fix the driving recorder at the same position, test the distance between the driving recorder and the wall, then look at the extreme angles on both sides from the driving recorder, and then measure the linear distance between the extreme angles on both sides, and then measure the distance between the extreme angles on both sides. To calculate the viewing angle of the dash cam. (The angle test can only test the approximate range, not the standard value.)
3. Real shots of road conditions: clarity and missing seconds test
Suppress the glare mainly by shooting at night, and then check how effective the driving recorder is in suppressing the glare when the other person is coming. Of course, almost all driving recorders cannot have a strong function of suppressing glare. After all, where the cost is, we can only compare which brand has a slightly better effect.
● Product workmanship/detail design comparison
The workmanship of the product is the first feeling for judging the quality of the driving recorder. If the texture is not good, consumers will not pay for it.
If you just choose the product from the appearance, I would choose MATEGO MG300K, because it has a strong texture, good workmanship, and from the price point of view, it is also the most cost-effective one, and in terms of size, it is also suitable. Of course, the workmanship of the Fonro rearview mirror driving recorder is also ok, and it does not affect the eye range of the reversing rearview. However, the appearance of the product is only the first impression. To evaluate the quality of the driving recorder, it is important to look at its clarity.
