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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is really good, Im glad I bought it.

Of course, I wanted to hang up and forget, as they say, so that it works and does not ask for anything . But with this device it doesn’t work out unfortunately ((I hope that with firmware ates something can improve nevertheless . At least so that the screen is by default was turned off . After two months of use, I think that the screen in full mirror is a controversial decision. In the management of the registrar, watching videos is convenient without a doubt, but when the screen is turned on, the driver's mirror disappears completely. It's a matter of habit, of course, but not always By the way, it happens, especially while driving. I think it’s still more convenient when part of the mirror remains a mirror. The rear view camera, when reverse gear is engaged, changes the angle and shows a more limited picture (captures the view a little lower and closer). someone else's bumper is left, but a "distant" view at that time in the mirror would also not hurt, when leaving the parking lot on a street with traffic, for example.

Pros
  • Good functionality, there is the inclusion of recording by the shock sensor in parking mode, the recording quality of both cameras. Performs its functions
Cons
  • The registrar is firmly, so as not to shake, it is not possible to install it with a native mount. The plastic fastening hooks bend against the tension of the rubber clamps and, resting against the edge of the mirror, prevent the registrar's support pads from resting on the glass of the native mirror. The consequence is that it does not hold securely, it shivers on the go, it moves out. The more you tighten the clamps, the more the registrar moves away from the native mirror and at the same time it still shakes! You make it weaker - it falls off. The car is Creta, the mirror is ordinary (it seems to be the same on other cars), it doesn’t seem to be crooked . In general, it was not possible to install it simply according to the instructions, I had to fence 8 (! ) Millimeter supports under the supports so as not to shake. The main camera does not have enough rotation angle to the left. The lens is in the extreme left position, the frame is still a little to the right. It often happens that already in motion you notice that he is not writing. There are two reasons for this: 1) When starting the engine, it often goes astray and stops recording (although there is a built-in battery). That is, when the ignition is turned on, it turns on, loads, starts writing. At the moment the starter is started, the power supply to the cigarette lighter is turned off - it goes out, then it boots up again and remains in pause mode until you poke it on the record. 2) Periodically asks to format the card. To work, you have to constantly monitor him: how is he there . ? does it take. ? Strains constantly (by default) the luminous screen. The minimum time to protect the screen from turning off in the settings is 30 seconds. That is, you start moving and for at least half a minute you don’t have a rear-view mirror, which is much more necessary in motion than a bright luminous monitor in front of your eyes with an image of what you already see (in the dark it frankly interferes! ). Every time you have to be distracted on the go and turn off the screen manually.
