TOP-5 car DVRs. Rating of DVRs 2019!
The DVR is the most popular gadget among motorists. Its importance is difficult to overestimate, because it really is a real helper for a motorist who, at the right moment, can prove the driver’s rightness in controversial situations on the road. Over the years of their existence, video recorders have evolved from simple cameras that cling to the windshield and they can’t be able to shoot video at a resolution of 640x480 pixels, and the quality of the video footage left much to be desired, to convenient multi-function devices that are not able to in 4K resolution, but and record the route passed on the map, track strip on the road, notify about radar and speed cameras, and many other useful features can now stretit in modern DVR
.Now manufacturers of video recorders are trying to provide their devices with the maximum number of functions that can only be thought out. For example, on the market there are models with the possibility of security shooting, which is realized by connecting a SIM card with high-speed Internet to the recorder. This makes it possible to broadcast to a smartphone, tablet, or other paired device, a video that is recorded by the recorder in real time. That is, with a constant power recorder, you can, at any time, see what happens next to your car. You can view the broadcast through a special application from anywhere in the world, only there would be a stable connection to the Internet. Another interesting feature is the ability to diagnose a car by connecting an adapter to the OBD-II connector.
We'll talk more about this some other time and another time, and now consider the TOP-5 DVRs that we and our customers considered the most interesting and well-recommended. Which includes:
Gazer F117
The first on our list is Gazer F117. Among all the representatives of TOP, this is the simplest DVR in terms of functions. But these are optimal functions that should be in a DVR in 2019.
The recorder is equipped with a camera with a 2 megapixel sensor and aperture F2.0, which allows you to shoot videos in Full HD quality, that is, in resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. To improve the picture quality, a fairly common WDR function is used here, the essence of which is to balance the dark and light areas in the frame, for which the best picture quality is achieved at night, and Also helps to improve the picture six-layer glass lens, which is used in lens.
The Gazer F117's angle of view reaches 140 degrees, which makes it possible to record the situation on a route with several lanes. There is a large 2.7 inch screen with a resolution of 960x240 pixels to view the video and the settings of the recorder. The device is controlled by buttons on the edges of the display. By the way, the control buttons have lights, so you can control the recorder without any problems even in the dark.
The does not have a built-in memory, but it is possible to connect a microSD memory card up to 32 GB, which is enough for 9 hours of continuous shooting in Full HD quality or 18 hours in 1280x720 pixels.
For convenient registrar chips, I would like to attribute its mount. Not only does the bundle have 2 types of fastenings vacuum on suction cup and compact on 3M adhesive tape, so also power supply goes through the mount. So, if there is a need to frequently remove the recorder from the windshield, it is not necessary to permanently connect and disconnect the power from it. Just remove the device from the mount, and the power cord, like the mount itself remains in the machine.
Also, Ga's Registrarzer F117 has and a set of basic functions that almost every DVR has, and exactly:
— loop recording;
— shock sensor and emergency shooting capability;
— displays the date and time on the screen;

Playme NETTON
Next to our list is Playme NETTON. A special feature of this DVR is the presence of an additional camera in the kit. This allows two-channel shooting and to record everything that is in front of the car and behind the car, well, or in the cabin, depending on where the camera is installed.
Playme NETTON is equipped with a Mstar 8328P processor and a Sony IMX323 matrix, which made it possible to achieve very detailed images with a resolution of 2304x1296 pixels. However, in Super Full HD format can only be recorded by the main camera of the recorder and only in single-channel shooting mode, and for dual-channel shooting, the resolution of the main camera must be reduced to Full HD. Additional camera boasts only HD quality. The lens, like the in the previous Gazer’a, has a six-layer glass lens, and the viewing angle of the main camera here is even more — 145 degrees.

Gazer F730
Gazer F730 is already a more innovative model. The first feature I want to highlight the ability to diagnose a car through an OBD adapter. With the help of an additional switching unit, the Gazer F730 DVR can be connected to the vehicle’s on-board network via an OBD II connector this switching unit also includes a GPS antenna. Thanks to the connection via the OBD connector, the driver will be able to get information about any malfunctions and errors of the auto systems as timely as possible, and be sure that your car is fully operational. A if the problem still occurs, you will know about it immediately, and you can contact the troubleshooting service by providing preliminary diagnostics data. The diagnostic function is launched through the Gazer Dashcam IoV application. Through this the same application, the control of the DVR, its setting, and also view the footage. Gazer F730 does not has a built-in display and is controlled from a smartphone or tablet. To pair with a mobile device, a DVR has a Wi-Fi module.
By eliminating the display, the size of the device and made it as compact as possible and invisible in a machine. The invisibility of the DVR is very important, because if the intruders do not notice the recorder in the machine, they will not want to steal it. By the way, the recorder is attached to the windshield using a fastening on the 3M adhesive tape.
Another interesting feature of the Gazer Dashcam IoV application is the HUD mode, which allows you to project the screen of your smartphone onto the windshield. By placing your smartphone on the torpedo you can get all the information about current speed, average speed, time in path, engine speed, distance covered, engine temperature and fuel consumption. It should be noted that this function works only when the recorder is connected via the ACG-OBD module.
Now let's turn to techcomponent. The Gazer F730 is equipped with a six-layer glass lens with a clear lens and an F1.8 aperture. The camera uses a Sony Exmor 1/2.9 "sensor. To enhance the image quality, use the WDR function. The recorder captures video at a 1920x1080 pixel resolution with the widest viewing angle of 170 degrees, which allows you to fully cover the entire roadway.
The recorder has the ability to connect an optional external camera CF730-IN or CF730EX. CF730-IN is inside the salon camera, and CF730EX is external. A feature of the external camera is the degree of protection IP67.
Also, the DVR has a security shooting mode, thanks to the built-in motion sensor and shock. Security or parking mode is available when the ACG-OBD adapter is connected. In this mode, the recorder records Time Lapse when the engine is off and full shooting when the G-sensor is triggered. In in this case, a 3-minute clip is recorded and the recorder switches back to Time Lapse mode.
Another convenient feature is the presence of a wireless control button with which you can start an emergency recording, during which the video will be stored in a separate folder on the memory card and not will be overwritten by the video stream from cyclic shooting.
The advantages of the device even want to include support for memory cards up to 256 GB. By installing such a card, you can generally forget about a few days that some important files could be overwritten by a cyclic record.
