In this review, we will talk about the most reliable manufacturers of such necessary devices as DVRs. The article will be interesting to novice drivers who have not yet decided which company DVR is better to buy. It will also be useful for experienced motorists who would like to replace the outdated model of this device with something new.
Firm DOD (Taiwan)
Since the beginning of its activities (1993), the company has gone through a very successful development path, having now become one of the leaders in the production of video surveillance devices and systems. Unfortunately, those who wish to purchase DOD products are at risk of becoming victims of fraudsters who have flooded the market with cheap and low-quality fakes. To be sure that you offer the original, pay attention to the following:
The presence of holograms
On the holographic sign, the symbol “U” is depicted against the background of the drawbridge. DOD places the holograms on the device, the box and the warranty card.
Presence of a road safety card
This card is completed with each DVR company DOD. Its owner is entitled to 24-hour legal assistance.
GeoCross (South Korea)
Among the products of this company, the series of DVRs, known under the VisionDrive brand, received the most popularity. It includes both unpretentious models of budget class (VisionDrive VD-1500) and full-featured models of the upper price segment (VisionDrive VD-8000HDS). DVRs from this manufacturer are distinguished by the following characteristic advantages:
- a lot of video settings that allows you to choose the optimal mode of operation of the device;
- the presence of a built-in display;
- built-in GPS module;
- the presence of the G-sensor.
Firm STOPOL LLC (USA)
This company owns the brand Phantom, which combines several models of DVRs. They can be grouped as follows:
For beginners
The low-cost Phantom VR-102, 103 and 104 models are attracted by the quite affordable price, but they are quite trimmed in terms of functionality, and also have a low-resolution camera. The latter drawback is somewhat compensated by the function of the program interpolation of the image, which, based on mathematical transformations, artificially increases the resolution of the picture.
For advanced users
Models of the middle class (Phantom VR-106, 107 and 108) have less restrictions on functionality and are equipped with full-fledged cameras operating in Full HD mode.
For "pro"
This group includes the DVR Phantom VR-110, 120 and 130, the owners of which are available the most advanced features:
- high resolution camera;
- built-in GPS-navigator;
- acceleration sensor;
- Two-channel video recording (with the connection of the second camera);
- voice prompts.
Huvitech (South Korea)
This industrial giant specializes in equipment for visual observation: video recorders, security systems, rear-view cameras, monitors, etc. Users note the high quality of product assembly, reliability and durability even of low-end models.
In the production of DVRs, Huvitech takes into account all current trends: high-quality dual-channel video filming, the presence of a GPS module and an accelerometer that captures shocks or sudden braking.
Firm XDevice (Russia)
If you are looking for a device that best meets the requirements of a Russian user, it is better to choose a XDevice DVR. Its products are sold under the brand Blackbox, which is a line of more than two dozen models.
In terms of their functionality, they are not inferior to the best models of foreign manufacturers, and in some ways even surpass them: some models are equipped not only with an accelerometer and a GPS module, but also radar detectorswhich are so popular among domestic car enthusiasts.
