CARCAM Q7
The KARKAM Q7 video recorder is powered by a high-performance Ambarella A7 processor, which provides smooth, high-quality Super HD-format images with a recording rate of 30 frames per second. Night mode also allows you to see the details you need in videos captured in the dark.
The 360 ° swivel camera also has a viewing angle of 160 °, while being able to keep in sight not only all the lanes of the highway, but also the adjacent territory. The device is equipped with a display for viewing clips on site as well as for ease of use.
Among the additional functions of CARCAM Q7, the very important shock sensor G-sensor should be noted. He is responsible for the safety of frames recorded in emergency situations in collisions. Also, this device is equipped with a GPS-receiver, which synchronously with the video stream marks the coordinates of your car's movement, records the speed, date and time. The motion sensor facilitates the operation of the recorder during long parking. It activates recording only if motion appears in the frame. This saves space on the memory card.
CARCAM Z5
Many buyers have appreciated the main characteristic of the Z5 - being virtually invisible. Made in the form of an overlay for a car mirror, the device, using a universal mount, can be installed in any car so that it will not attract attention. The cable length (3.5 m) is sufficient for hidden wiring. Inconspicuous from the outside and preserving an excellent view of the road for the driver, the device has a 4.3-inch screen built into the mirror surface, which allows you to comfortably view the recording.
With a four-lens glass lens with a 140 ° capture angle, recordings are clear and contain enough material to assess events. The loss of important information in the event of an impact or emergency braking is prevented by the built-in G-sensor (stops overwriting the last file). The owners of "Karkam Z5" positively note the presence of one more camera included in the delivery set. It can be used to capture everything that happens behind the car or inside the cabin. It can also be useful for making parking easier.
CARCAM R2
CARCAM R2 is a miniature Full HD car DVR with GPS and Wi-Fi modules. The device is equipped with a SONY Exmor IMX323 matrix, which is characterized by increased light sensitivity and provides high-quality recording at any time of the day. The glass 6-lens lens has a 145-degree field of view and allows you to capture on-the-go and oncoming traffic lane on video. Thanks to the built-in GPS module, the coordinates and speed of the vehicle are recorded on the video.
The built-in Wi-Fi module allows you to connect the DVR to your smartphone to manage settings, as well as watch and download videos. The kit includes 2 brackets for fixing the DVR. One of them is fixed on the glass with a vacuum suction cup, the other with double-sided tape. Also included is a magnetic mount. Thanks to this, you can install and remove the DVR from the windshield with just one movement of your hand.
CARCAM Т3
Attractive appearance and ease of use are the hallmarks of this DVR model.CARCAM T3 has a 3.5-inch touchscreen display that allows you to display the menu with large buttons, thus providing better control. Viewing footage on a monitor of this size is also very comfortable. A microphone mute function is provided.
Positive reviews indicate good shooting quality, with a clear image without any interference. The lens has a 140 ° field of view to cover ample space in front of the vehicle. With the help of the Real HDR software function, T3 evens out any imperfections in lighting, and makes the same quality both day and night shooting. Of the shortcomings, the owners single out too small a length of the wire for the possibility of its hidden laying under the trim of the car's interior.
CARCAM COMBO 5S
The leader of our review was the COMBO 5S model - a bright representative of a multifunctional device, which includes a navigator, a recorder itself, a radar system detector, a GPS informer and a modem for GSM mobile networks. A modern software product allows you to recognize the scanning radiation of Strelka, Laser and many others (operating in frequencies Ka Ku, X, K). The operating range on the highway is 1000 m, in the city - 400. The presence of mobile Internet allows tracking the location of the car in real time.
In their reviews, the owners note the high quality of the shooting (Super HD format with a resolution of 2304 × 1296). Convenient mount allows you to rotate the camera and, if necessary, take pictures in any direction. The high-quality lens provides a coverage of 160 °, which makes it possible to see not only the numbers of oncoming cars, but also the roadside. The included second camera, mounted on the rear window or in the cabin, provides a better opportunity to get a more complete picture of what is happening around. The quality of recording at night is also excellent due to the anti-reflective coating of the lens (headlights from the oncoming stream do not expose the image).
