Generally speaking, initially there were five of them. But the cheapest (only 2700 rubles) product Espada DV-008 flatly refused to record anything, but it put the batteries in and created a single file in the AVI format of 0 bytes on the flash card.
Theoretically, there should have been recorded silent video with a resolution of 640 × 480 pixels, taken from the place where the laser pointer shines when adjusting the position of the device … Apparently, an unsuccessful instance came across.

So, there are four of them, differing in functionality, recording formats, the presence of a built-in monitor, GPS module, and a second video camera.

Despite the anonymity, this device seemed to us the most convenient. The built-in monitor makes it easy to configure, and at any time you can make sure that the recording is in progress. The battery stores the entered date and time. The device allows you to view the recorded and delete, if necessary, directly on the monitor. The device connects to a computer via USB or to a TV via HDMI. If an accident occurs, you can remove the device from the bracket and, switching to camera mode, fix everything you need. Unless, of course, the length of the cord is enough (3.5 m).

If you wish, you can insert three more cards, bringing the total memory capacity to 128 GB. Management and configuration - using the on-screen menu and touch-screen monitor. The full manual is recorded on the disk attached to the device. The video shows the date and time of shooting, the duration of each file is one minute. To view, you can use the built-in screen or computer. If you connect an external GPS receiver, then the records will be tied not only to time, but also to the scene. The picture is clear enough, but not HD.

It seems that this device is not designed specifically for the car. There is no holder, and the recording is started manually or by some external signal, which must be supplied to a separate socket. Compensation for these inconveniences will be the possibility of using it for hidden home video surveillance - the built-in battery and memory last for a long time.
+ Ability to use outside the car, built-in screen, rugged body.
- High price, lack of mounting in the kit, the need for manual start.

The claimed manufacturer - STOPOL LLC, Korea
Estimated price: 9500 rub.
Power: 12-24 V
Recording Format: MPEG4
Storage media: SD flash card, up to 32 GB
Resolution: 640 × 480 pixels
Frame Rate: 24 per second
Built-in monitor: no
Rear camera: yes, with IR
Sound Recording: Yes
GPS: built-in module
Fastening: to glass through the adapter, double-sided tape
A feature of the product is the presence of a second video camera with infrared illumination facing the interior. It can be turned on and off separately, while the voice synthesizer reports a change in settings. This is very convenient since there is no built-in monitor. But there is a GPS module that allows you to bind the record to a place and automatically set the time, show the speed of movement. Alas, our copy stubbornly refused to receive signals from satellites.
The card included in the kit contains software that must be installed on the computer to view the recordings and configure the device. Without this program, you cannot open DRS format files. The program interface, however, allows not only to see the shooting from both cameras in synchronous mode, but also to print or save any frame. Especially for automotive applications, a three-axis acceleration sensor is provided.
If there is a sharp push (above the value you have set), the moment immediately preceding it will be saved in a separate folder that is protected from overwriting. Thus, you will not lose this information, even if recording on the card goes in the second round.

The program allows you to find the desired frame manually, speed up or slow down playback on your computer. But the clarity of the picture is poor. It is difficult to read the license plate number of a car even stopping close to you.
+ Recording inside the cabin, reference to the place, shock sensor.
- The need to install special software on the computer.

Power Supply: 12V

Resolution: 640 × 480 pixels
Frame rate: 10, 16, 24, 30 per second

The software is on the attached memory card. With it, you can view recordings on a computer and make screen shots from them in any convenient format, configure the built-in accelerometer to impact power, from which the event will be saved in a folder protected from overwriting. But, in principle, the installation of this program is not required, since recordings from a USB flash drive are available for viewing on almost any computer.
The most detailed printed instructions are attached to the registrar. However, there are some design flaws. For example, the power indicator for some reason is turned to the glass of the car and is visible only to passers-by. And the button that turns off the built-in audio signal is indicated by the letters REC. So it is tempting to press it to start recording.

As for the clarity of the picture, it is not too high: you can read the car number, but only right in the center. To the edges, the sharpness of the image falls.
+ The presence of a custom shock sensor, a standard file format, detailed instructions.
- There is no reference to the time and place of the event.
DVRs: Smile - you are being filmed
All kinds of conflicts on our roads, alas, are not uncommon. Analysis of road accidents, unpredictable dialogue with the inspector - but never mind when you need iron evidence of the truth! To get and save them, DVRs were invented. With four models, Alexei Vorobyov-Obukhov registered relations.
Generally speaking, initially there were five of them. But the cheapest (only 2700 rubles) product Espada DV-008 flatly refused to record anything, but it put the batteries in and created a single file in the AVI format of 0 bytes on the flash card. Theoretically, there should have been recorded silent video with a resolution of 640 × 480 pixels, taken from the place where the laser pointer shines when adjusting the position of the device … Apparently, an unsuccessful instance came across.
