Review on DVR Slimtec Dual M9, 2 cameras, black by Micha Osiski ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The product is of poor quality, I do not advise.

The absence of a status indicator upset me a little, it doesn’t make sense, or it’s just that the power from the cigarette lighter went off . With the standard firmware, the registrar was not childishly buggy, then it rebooted, then it didn’t start at all. I contacted technical support, they threw off the firmware more or less stable. Parkonulsya, after a while sat down, started and went immediately in reverse and I did not know that the registrar does not write. It turns out that you need to start up and wait 5 . 10 seconds for him to start writing with the front camera, and then switch gears. The most interesting thing is that after it started "quickly" backwards like this, the registrar will not understand what to write from the first time, he needs to poke 2-3 times, and you already have to be in the traffic stream . And against the background of this shortcoming, it still sometimes reboots when the engine is started, yes, yes, it was the key that turned, it started, then turned, it rebooted. At night, it’s cool to see what’s behind when you maneuver backwards, but you drove forward and the “mirror” clearly shows you the image ahead for at least 30 seconds. At night it is so necessary, damn it. And most of all killed the size of the files on the flash drive. Front camera with super resolution 1920x1080 with a file size of about 500 MB and rear 1280x720 with a file size of about 1500 MB. Moreover, the duration of cycling does not affect the file size, and therefore the cool parking protection function somehow touches 10 seconds of recording takes 2 GB and is blocked at the same time. Cats climbed onto the car several times at night, and in the morning a 32 GB flash drive was crammed with 10 second clips that needed to be formatted. The support service sympathized with me in everything and began to send firmware with which the registrar is not sewn, and the latest firmware generally turned the registrar into a brick. I had to dismantle all this beauty and send it to the service center, where the registrar was simply reanimated without eliminating a single remark. The situation with sending firmware was not clear. I highly do not recommend.

Pros
  • Large display
Cons
  • 1. There is no recorder status indicator. 2. The rear camera writes in mirror image. 3. If after starting the engine the first movement in reverse - the registrar does not write. 4. When starting the engine, it sometimes reboots. 5. Long display off after reversing. 6. The file size is just wild (2 GB even in 10 seconds). 7. The mirror is very easily soiled. 8. Does not fit snugly to the regular mirror, from which it vibrates.
