Driving recorder industry insider:poor quality driving recorder may cause spontaneous combustion to the vehicle

A dealer told reporters in Beijing Automotive Products Exhibition, a dealer told reporters that although driving recorder has been popular for years, but there are still many bad quality driving recorder on the market,below are some common knowledge about driving recorder:
A).Driving recorder and GPS navigator is similar, tconnect the driving recorder to the cigarette lighter, it can only work during the car running , once the car stopped the driving recorder can’t work too. If the battery is installed, some recorders can only work less than two hours after parking. The vechiles being designated, stolen and other issues, the driving recorder simply can’t achieve 24 hours a day video recording functions.
B).The shooting angle is not wide enough. Recording angle recorded by driving recorder lens from 70 degrees to 170 degrees range, no matter how you adjust the driving recorder, it can only taken the video in corresponding angle.
C).There are a wide range of driving recorder in the market now, ranging from 30USD to 500USD. Usually those hidden built in mounting style driving camera quality is better. For driving recorder cost only 30-70USD, owner should pay more attention during purchase and use. Because those driving recorders will be connected to the cigarette lighter. The more cheaper the driving recorders are, the more inconsistent with the car part , once the driving recorder with poor power protection and poor accessories, it may easy happen line ignition phenomenon, it is likely to cause the vehicle spontaneous combustion. With the rising temperature, the overall temperature of the car will continue to rise too, especially in summer, the maximum temperature of inside the car may up to 60 degree, if the driving recorder accessories quality is not good, the ignition point is too low, it is easy to catch fire, and then causing vehicle spontaneous combustion.

But car owner should pay attention to the driving recorder quality. In addition, the driving recorder appearance is almost same as a mobile phone, better to install in a hidden place inside the car, so it won’t bring security risks to owner.

Tesla Model S dianggap memimpin revolusi di pasar mobil listrik, dari model SUV Model X generasi baru Tesla, pendiri perusahaan Elon Musk sekali lagi memicu tren perubahan: mengganti kaca spion tradisional dengan kamera mini.

Ketika Tesla Model X SUV memulai debutnya, banyak fiturnya membuat orang bersinar, seperti pintu gaya “sayap”, tidak ada kaca spion tradisional, sebenarnya, Model X mengganti kaca spion dengan kamera mini, dan gambar yang ditangkap oleh kamera akan ditampilkan di layar sentuh elektronik lcd di dalam kabin. Meskipun hal ini mengurangi hambatan angin Model X, namun hal ini juga melanggar beberapa persyaratan keamanan AS.

Peraturan otoritas AS tentang penggunaan kamera yang dipasang di mobil seharusnya berlaku pada tahun 2013, di mana Tesla telah melobi legislator untuk merevisi undang-undang tersebut, yang memungkinkan kamera mini menggantikan kaca spion mobil tradisional, sehingga anggota parlemen AS telah menunda penerapan undang-undang tersebut. Pada tahun 2016, Tesla, GM, Toyota, Volkswagen dan 12 anggota lainnya dari serikat produsen mobil, membuat proposal ke NHTSA, dan merekomendasikan untuk menggunakan kamera tampak belakang untuk menggantikan kaca spion mobil tradisional.

Penggantian kaca spion dapat menyederhanakan struktur bodi mobil, sekaligus mengurangi hambatan angin pada saat yang bersamaan, saat ini, meningkatkan efisiensi bahan bakar dan efisiensi energi mobil, menjadi semakin penting bagi produsen mobil dan pemilik mobil. Diperkirakan jika menggunakan kamera mini sebagai pengganti kaca spion, hambatan angin kendaraan akan dapat berkurang hingga 5%. Bahkan, Volkswagen XL1 dan beberapa model mobil lainnya, telah dipertimbangkan untuk tidak lagi menggunakan kaca spion untuk efisiensi energi, tetapi Tesla adalah satu-satunya perusahaan yang benar-benar ingin mempromosikan reformasi legislatif untuk kamera mobil.

WDR (wide dynamic range) adalah teknologi yang digunakan untuk memastikan kamera dapat menangkap video atau gambar di bawah kontras yang sangat kuat. Secara umum, mengacu pada wilayah antara perubahan dari nilai maksimum ke minimum atau mungkin nilai minimum ke maksimum. .

Biasanya dalam kasus paparan cahaya yang kuat atau kecerahan rendah dan kondisi kecerahan yang relatif rendah lainnya, vidoe atau gambar yang diambil oleh kamera akan tampak sangat terang atau mungkin sangat gelap, area yang terang disebabkan oleh paparan yang berlebihan dan layar yang gelap disebabkan oleh kurangnya pencahayaan, sangat mempengaruhi kejernihan dan kualitas video. Pembatasan ini adalah apa yang biasanya kita sebut “rentang dinamis”.

Singkatnya, kamera dasbor tradisional ketika Anda memilih untuk menggunakan 1/100 detik untuk mendapatkan gambar yang terpapar di dalam mobil, maka gambar di luar mobil dalam cahaya mungkin akan memutih di bawah eksposur yang kuat atau kondisi kecerahan rendah, jika terus menerus dalam 1/10000 detik melakukan eksposur kedua pada gambar luar, maka gambar internal mungkin akan diberantas atau menjadi hitam, ketika dua gambar digabungkan bersama pada akhirnya akan mengurangi kualitas gambar atau video akhir, yang juga merupakan kekurangan kamera tradisional.

Kamera dasbor dengan teknologi WDR dapat menangani kontras sumber cahaya, meningkatkan kualitas gambar dan kejernihannya, bahkan di bawah sumber cahaya yang terlalu terang atau lingkungan yang sangat gelap, lensa ini mampu membidik gambar berkualitas tinggi.

Luview Co, LTD dengan bangga membuat janji kepada semua pelanggan kami: semua kamera dasbor kami, baik yang harganya murah atau yang dirancang khusus untuk kamera dasbor mobil kelas atas, semuanya mengadopsi teknologi WDR, yakinlah dengan kamera dasbor kami.

Since the traffic fraud is more common now, kamera dasbor ( also being called dashboard camera, dashcam, dash camera,dashboard cam;they are actually the same thing ) has become a must buy equipment for car. In addition to retaining evidence and protect drivers themselves, dash cam can also record the funny moments and along landscape during car running.

But there are so many dash cam on the market, the price ranging from a few bucks to several hundreds, and the high price dash cam usually come with many functions, but after use you may found these functions not so useful as the purchasing guide said.How can we avoid buying traps, not waste money? let’s take a look at below.

Trap one: camera lens pixels the higher the better

Some purchasing guide will recommend relatively high pixel dash cam, current dash cam pixels in the market ranging from several millions to 10 million pixels, naturally, the higher pixels the more expensive. But in general, 2 million pixels 1080P dash cam is powerful enough to capture clear driving videos. Higher pixel sensors will not only reduce the recording time, but also greatly increase the number of memory card rewrite times,which will lead to shorter memory card life.

Trap two: the more function the better

Some purchasing guide will recommend consumer to purchase a all-in-one dash cam, with additional electronic dog, reversing camera, GPS navigation function or something besides the basic driving video recording function, and the price will naturally rising. In fact, because multiple functions share the same CPU, all-in-one dash cam performance will be significantly reduced,and the effect can’t up to the effect as it said,besides,the service life will be shorter than the single function dash cam too.

Trap three: dash cam performance with Ambarella chip will be better

Most salesman will tell you that his dash cam is adopt the Ambarella A7 chip, but they just will not tell you the exact A7 chip number.The A7 series Ambarella chip is divided into high,middle,low three different classes, respectively is LA70, LA50 / LA55, LA30, low grade chip A7 chip performance naturally not as good as high end Ambarella A7 chip.

Trap four: view angle the wider the better

Some purchasing guide will recommend super wide angle dash cam, with wide view angle its blind area will be less. In fact,although wide angle can reduce the blind area, but it will distort the screen too, the wider view angle the more serious distortion, video effects will be affected too. In general, 120-150 degrees view angle dash cam can meet most driver’s requirements. Before you buy a 170 degrees or even 200 degrees view angle dash cam,consider it carefully .

Trap five: dash cam can be 24 hour monitoring while parking

Some high end car owners will think about a 24 hour parking monitoring dash cam, because their exposed car used to be damaged while parking.However, on the one hand the cam built-in battery and memory card can only support video of 8-16 hours, it is difficult to achieve 24-hour monitoring; on the other hand the dash cam monitoring angle is limited, certainly can’t achieve all-round monitoring. So you want to have a 24 hours monitoring dash cam for your car is not realistic, if the purchasing guide recommend this feature to you, then he must be lying .

Although is it a bit complex to choose a dash cam driving recorder,as long as you avoid these traps, being cheat choice may greatly reduced.

Most driver driving a car in less than 90 minutes per day, while the 32 G SD card can record 320 minutes full 1080p HD video, recorded video can be saved for more than three days, for most people,it is enough.If you want to record video around your car the whole day, you must adopt a 64 G sd card.So we recommend 32 G SD card for Luview dashboard car camera user.

Besides,SD card reliability and service life is very important,at least class 10 is required, otherwise it can not keep up with high definition video read and write speed. We recommend Sandisk high durable series 32 GB SD card,it can record more than 5000 hours under temperature of -25ºC to 85ºC,which means it can work almost in all areas and conditions.Although it is a bit more expensive than those bad quality ones,but it is more reliable.
