Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

Of course, it’s nonsense to spend that kind of money on a registrar and still sit and think about how to get the picture I need in the correct orientation. The additional camera from the kit does not have any settings. What to do? Buy a separate normal? Five points, the manufacturer.
Disadvantage 6. Soft. Well, everything seems to be fine on the whole, but, how could it be possible in a video recorder with two video recording channels not to provide at least three modes for viewing images from cameras (when both are working at the same time), FIRST mode (image only from the main camera in full screen with simultaneous recording from the additional camera), SECOND mode (image only from the additional camera in full screen while recording from the main camera at the same time), THIRD "Picture in Picture", the one that is always the default and now it cannot be changed in any way (this when both cameras are connected, and the image from the main camera occupies the entire screen, the image from the additional camera occupies a small rectangle in the upper left corner, which does not allow you to see anything either on the image from the additional camera (because it is too small) or from the main one (because the image from the secondary overlaps more than 30% of the image from the main one).
I summarize. I am extremely dissatisfied with the device and assumed that for the amount already indicated several times I would get a convenient DVR with the ability to peep how close the rear bumper of my car is to an obstacle. Of course, if nothing changes, then I will most likely reconcile myself, I will park as usual 3 meters from the obstacle, and in a couple of years I will leave the registrar to the new owner of my car, when I sell it, I will forget my unsuccessful purchase like a bad dream and never again I will not buy this brand. It would be better, of course, it broke down and I took it under warranty and they returned the money to me, because it's all somehow strange for a device for such a price.

It was my birthday present to me, well, you understand, yes, while I studied the market for these devices for a long time .

Pros

Review edited. Despite the fact that all conceivable deadlines for the return of goods of good quality have long passed, the manufacturer went to the meeting, took the DVR and returned the full amount to me, which is very unexpected, but commendable. I will choose the right device. Before buying, read my review and determine for yourself whether this device is right for you. Pros: Design. Well, probably, the quality of the recording, but I didn’t evaluate it, I don’t have any special skills for this. Supercapacitors instead of batteries, as far as I understand, they just help to correctly complete the recording of the last file, they are not enough for more, and thanks for that. Further, there will also be disadvantages in the merits, because there is not enough space .: So, let's go, the simplest at the beginning, the most annoying further: Disadvantage 1. The magnetic holder is so reliable that when you try to dock the recorder with the seat of the magnetic power connector, in case of a miss, it will be quite difficult to tear it back for a second attempt, just like if you finally docked everything, then, if necessary, remove the video recorder personally, I had the feeling that if I just pull on anything, then due to a serious magnetic force, either the mounting base will fall apart, or something will fall off on the registrar itself and hello . Therefore, I hacked the system, I unscrew completely clamping the plastic nut, while the power connector remains on the registrar itself, and I screw the nut back so that it does not get lost. with extra camera. Disadvantage 2. The motion sensor is as stupid as possible. There is movement in the frame, but there is no recording, I specially turned off the function of turning off the display in order to control when it starts recording, nope, the work is so-so, if there is a serious movement in the frame, then it writes, if slightly, either late, or when you begin to move.

Cons

And in general, I thought that the motion sensor is used only in the parking lot, when someone drives / walks past, etc., then it kind of works and starts writing who scratches you there, but no, it turns out that the registrar needs to be powered somehow separately with a constant plus, that's understandable, okay, let's ask. Drawback 2 (continued). but you still need to install some kind of power controller, because if it doesn’t exist, and the battery is so-so, then it will drop it to zero, but this is just a theory, I haven’t checked it yet, I just ran into the fact that it came out of the box at night won't write anything. Disadvantage 3. The power connector is still MINI USB, not even micro, you know, the one that was on cameras and mp3 players 20 years ago, but oh well, we’ll survive of course, but this is strange, to put it mildly, for a modern device. Disadvantage 4. It’s also a trifle, but it’s also disgusting, when you connect an additional camera, you can’t write 60 frames to the main one, only 30 frames are written from both, was it difficult to make the main 60 write ? It's just some kind of hell and not a purchase, honest pioneering . Drawback 5. I bought the version for 11,000 with an additional camera. Dear manufacturer, why are you putting the camera in the kit and taking money for it? For the sake of appearances, well then, okay . Basically, the secondary camera only shows the correct picture when looking in the same direction as the main camera of the recorder, That's why it's done like that? Should I install it in the front bumper? why do I need it there if I have the main camera of the registrar on my windshield? I turn the additional camera back, the image is mirrored. Why do people today want to buy a recorder with an additional camera? I suppose that the majority, like me, expects, in addition to fixing the video of the rear view, to also get a picture that helps to park, and if a mirror image is also suitable to some extent for the first, then the correct picture is needed for the second. When I bought the device for 11 thousand, I expected that I would not experience any problems with this.
