A small number of friends who have not suffered losses may feel that it is not necessary to install a dash cam because of "the price of their car is not high" and "they are careful when driving", and old drivers will prepare the dash cam in advance when buying a second-hand car or a new car, so as to install it on the vehicle as soon as possible.
The installation of tachograph is to protect themselves, but also to others responsible, the vehicle driving on the road is inevitable to occur, with the tachograph can provide effective evidence more quickly, to help the traffic police to obtain evidence and insurance companies quickly settle claims, accident vehicles quickly evacuate the scene, to avoid traffic jams.
The dash cam can clearly record the "ghost probe", "touch porcelain", and people who encounter malicious porcelain can avoid economic losses through the video evidence provided by the dash cam.
With the improved clarity of the dashcam, the shooting is enough to make a vlog of daily life or a road trip.
I took a look at the current **dash cam brands are very many,**There are also high and low,As an "old driver" and a user of a variety of dash cams, I think that shooting clearly, reliable function, and easy to use is the key to choosing a dash cam, so that the product can meet the needs of most drivers.
The product functions of big brands are more reliable, and they do not drop the chain at critical moments.
The shape is simple and compact, and it can be installed by itself, and it will not affect the overall aesthetic after installation.
It can be photographed clearly during the day and night, and the blind spots on both sides of the A-pillar can also be photographed, and it is the most important thing to shoot clearly.
It's best to have a screen replay** and be able to view it on your phone or ***
* On the premise of not adding too much, it has some auxiliary functions to make the dash cam easier to use.
Based on my own experience and the word of mouth of other "old drivers", this time I chose the 360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam for my small car, and I got in the car to test the real performance of this dash cam.
The 360 G300 series has sold more than 2.2 million units since it was released in 17 years, and now the series has multiple models of upgrades, and the 360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam is the best, only less than 300 yuan.
The 360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam is very compact, and the accessories include the dash cam host, data cable, car charger, spudger, electrostatic sticker, manual, etc.
The shape of the 360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam continues the classic design of the series, the L-shaped curve without bracket integrated host is delicate and compact, and the overall feeling is very sufficient, although it is made of plastic, but the paint surface is uniform, without the slightest sense of cheapness.
On the front of the main unit is an F° wide-angle lens with a fluorescent green ring on the outside of the lens.
A 2-inch screen is set up on the back of the main unit, so users can quickly view the shot**, set up the dashcam and adjust the lens.
The installation of the compact 360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam is very simple, the installation position needs to meet the requirements of not blocking the line of sight, does not affect the wiring, the size of the electrostatic sticker is large, and it can still be more flexible to adjust the installation position of the dash cam after pasting.
Wipe the windshield clean and attach the electrostatic sticker, and then attach the 3M adhesive sticker that comes with the backplate fuselage to the electrostatic sticker for fixing.
The base back panel of the 360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam adopts a detachable design, and the main unit installation cable and memory card can be removed after the fixed position, and the micro SD card slot and micro USB power cable interface are on the top of the main unit.
The elbow power cord is more convenient to hide the wiring, use the power cord wiring tool to hide the cable patiently, and connect the cigarette lighter to the USB car charger at the other end to complete the installation.
The L-shaped curve without bracket integrated host fits the front windshield more closely, and the overall feeling is very good.
Whether it's inside the car or from the front windshield in**, the installed 360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam is close to the front windshield without the slightest sense of abruptness, which is also the key to my choice of this dash cam.
The lens and the base can be flexibly adjusted up and down, left and right at 15°, and the angle of the lens can be adjusted while looking at the screen after installation, so that the shooting angle covers the left and right front of the car as much as possible.
A dash cam can't shoot or shoot the key video clearly, that's the look, no matter how rich other functions are, it's meaningless, so compared to the large screen or some auxiliary functions, the first choice to choose a dash cam should pay attention to the shooting quality of the dash cam: image quality and angle.
Using 6 high-transmittance lenses, the output image quality resolution is 2560*1440, the image quality is high-definition and natural, and it can be used as a fragment of vlog when traveling by car.
When stopping at the intersection and driving normally in the urban area, the purity and clarity of the picture are excellent, and the license plate number of the vehicle in front is clear.
Both sides of the left and right A-pillars in front of the car are the main areas where the left and right cars illegally change lanes, ghost probes, and touch porcelain, so it is also the key shooting area of the dash cam.
The 360 G300 Plus dashcam camera supports a 150° ultra-wide angle, which can cover multiple lanes, and the vehicle characteristics and license plate numbers of the left and right lanes are also clearly recorded.
At this time, pay attention to the pedestrian who appears from the rear of the vehicle in the right A-pillar in the **, when the pedestrian is still out of the driver's field of vision, the dash cam has captured a clear picture, which shows that the wide-angle coverage can undoubtedly restore a more comprehensive accident scene.
Some early dash cams do not have high clarity in low-light environments, and the dim light at night limits the driver's vision, compared to the bright environment during the day, the night is a high-incidence period of road accidents, so be sure to choose a dash cam that shoots the same clear in a low-light environment.
Friends who know a little about cameras or photography knowledge know that taking photos or videos at night can brighten the picture by using a large aperture to increase the amount of light intake, and the 360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam uses f1The 5-aperture lens can greatly reduce night noise and ensure the purity of night shooting.
High-speed sports at night have higher requirements for the quality of all kinds of cameras (cameras, action cameras, dash cams), and most dash cams are difficult to shoot the license plate number of the vehicle clearly in this scene, and it is the key to be able to take clear vehicle characteristics and driving status.
When you stop at a traffic light at an intersection with street lights at night, the characteristics and license plate numbers of the vehicles in front of you and the vehicles in the next lane are very clear.
The 360 G300 Plus dashcam can record the vehicle characteristics and license plate numbers in front of the same lane and the left and right lanes of the same lane as well.
The garages and tunnels of some old shopping malls or neighborhoods are also very dimly lit, and in this dim scene, the driver's vision is greatly affected.
When driving in tunnels, the 360 G300 Plus dashcam can clearly record the characteristics and license plate numbers of vehicles overtaking at high speed from the side lane.
When it goes from dark to light or from light to dark, the driver will be temporarily "blind", and some dash cams will not be able to clearly record this section of the picture due to the rapid change of light.
The 360 G300 Plus dashcam is optimized for rapid changes in light, and the clarity and coherence of the footage are not greatly affected.
The first dash cam I bought was a screenless model, and it was not possible to play back the video on the dash cam's native host, and the only way to play back the video was to use a computer or mobile phone to read the memory card.
Nowadays, the best dash cams often have a screen, and users can view them directly on the machine, but to be convenient and easy to use, the dash cam must be equipped with a mobile phone APP that is simple and easy to use.
The three physical buttons on the left side of the 360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam are: switch key, unit key, and view key, which are used to select menus and playback cycles**, and also support one-key quick recording, and the button settings on the left side will facilitate the driver to operate with his right hand.
Although the 2-inch screen of the 360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam is not as large as the 360 flagship dash cam, the clarity and brightness are good, and the daily quick view** record is enough.
360's home cameras, smart door locks and dash cams and other devices are all used by the 360 smart life app, which is also convenient for unified management, rather than a separate app for each product.
Users can use the 360 smart life app to set the tachograph's picture quality, recording function, parking monitoring, emergency ** sensing sensitivity, fatigue driving and other functions, and it is more intuitive to set it through the mobile phone APP than to use the local buttons.
Compared with using the fuselage buttons and screen viewing, I prefer to use the 360 smart life app on the mobile phone, 360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam supports 0 traffic connection, you can preview and view it more intuitively in the mobile app**, and you can also transfer the required *** to the mobile phone.
In case you need to provide all the ** for the traffic police or insurance company, you can remove the memory card, and use the computer to read the memory card without **program or special **device.
High-end dash cams have more auxiliary functions, but like all products, many functions are used very infrequently, and the 360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam as an entry-level dash cam does not add too many flashy auxiliary functions, but retains the most practical functions to ensure the use of the dash cam.
When the vehicle is moving, the dashcam will continue to record, which will allow a large number of ** to be stored in the memory card in circulation, and the new ** will overwrite the earlier **.
In order to avoid the accident **being covered, but also convenient for users to find the key**, 360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam is equipped with a collision sensing function, when the vehicle collides, the dash cam automatically records this paragraph**, saved in the form of emergency**, emergency** will not be automatically covered, convenient to retain first-hand evidence of the accident scene.
In order to avoid misjudgment when the vehicle is violently bumped to record emergency ** recording, the sensitivity of the 360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam can be set by itself, according to my experience, the car can be appropriately lowered when the suspension is hard or driving on non-paved roads.
Friends who pay attention to the dash cam should often see ADAS, ADAS's full spelling is the Advanced Driving Assistance System, the Chinese advanced driving assistance system, through the use of various sensors (millimeter-wave radar, lidar, monocular camera and satellite navigation) to observe the road information during the car driving process.
360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam is equipped with the fifth generation ADAS, which can provide the start and stop information of the car in front, and during the rush hour, the voice prompt "Start in front of the car, effectively avoid getting up early to go out" shaking "or looking down at the mobile phone to be urged by the rear vehicle honking, no matter how good ADAS is, it cannot replace the driver to observe the road, and the driving vehicle also needs to maintain concentration.
Some car owners and friends will put the vehicle on the side of the road, often the road and the internal road of the community is not particularly perfect camera coverage, at this time you can buy 360 recorder special vehicle buck line, so that 360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam to achieve parking monitoring, the vehicle is automatically captured and stored when it is collided by external forces.
Dash cam is not a panacea, but an additional protection for the rights and interests of themselves and others, when driving in a road with poor vision or high accident occurrence, we must reduce the speed of the car, improve concentration to pay attention to the road conditions, and avoid accidents to bring money and other losses to ourselves and others.
So do you install a dash cam? Of course it is necessary to install.
The price of less than 300 yuan 360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam can be competent for the recording of most road scenes during the day and night, in case of accidents, quickly provide effective evidence to the traffic police or insurance companies, to avoid "no evidence", efficient resolution of traffic disputes.
360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam in line with the big brand, simple installation, clear shooting, good night vision, excellent interactive experience of the entry-level dash cam, there is no particularly exaggerated configuration and functions, retain the most practical gravity induction and ADAS auxiliary functions, if you are reluctant to spend ** and want to install a reliable dash cam for your car, then the 360 G300 Plus version of the dash cam is definitely worth a try, this is a choice to spend a little money to do big things.
