written in front
Nowadays, there are more and more cars on the road, and there are many novices on the road, which are particularly prone to scratch accidents, and people in the industry will choose to target those who are not driving on unmonitored road sections. If a car crashes with a recorder, it will be difficult to determine the fault without video recording. Therefore, it is necessary to install an driving recorder for your car. Especially new cars will face many complicated situations in the future, so it can be considered as a way to nip them in the bud.
1. How to choose a driving recorder
The next step is to choose a suitable driving recorder. After checking, I learned that the main concerns of a driving recorder are the following:
The first thing to bear the brunt of is the clarity of the recorded picture. This is very important, because the clearer the video is, the more realistic the road conditions will be restored, and the truth of the incident can be more accurately restored in a disputed accident. The key to clarity depends on the resolution of the camera. So generally we have to choose an recorder with a resolution of 1080P or above.
There is also a wide angle, which is also a very important standard. That is to say, the shooting range. The wider the wide angle, the wider the shooting range and the wider the shooting scene. Try to choose a wide angle between 130 and 150 degrees. Although the video looks a bit distorted, it can include more video content, which is still very beneficial to driving safety.
In addition, the night vision capability of the vehicle recorder is also crucial. Accidents are more likely to occur at night, so being able to record night driving is very important. Night vision ability determines the clarity of night videos, which is something that car owners who often drive at night must consider. After all, the accident rate when driving at night is much greater than during the day. The vision of driving at night is not very good, and it is difficult to detect distant road conditions. It is difficult to detect in time, which virtually increases the probability of accidents. A driving recorder is even more necessary, which can clearly capture the characteristics of objects in dark scenes at night, providing guarantee for safe driving at night.
After comprehensive comparison, we finally chose the DDPZ50 driving recorder. The Z50 product is a 4K driving recorder equipped with a new 1/2.7-inch CMOS image sensor. It has 4K high-definition images, D2save emergency dual storage, GPS speed display, and SR driving track functions.
2. Unboxing and function introduction
The outer packaging of the Dingdapai Z50 is black and gold, which looks very high-quality, simple and elegant.
After opening, you will have a family portrait of the driving recorder, including Z50 host, power cord, single port car charger, pry wire stick , and instructions.
driving recorder weighs 143g, which is relatively light. The length, width and height are 82mm, 62mm and 31mm respectively. Based on the design inspiration of the aircraft cabin, the Bezier curve is applied to the design of the fuselage. The overall lines of the fuselage are beautiful, small and exquisite. The screen is a 2.3-inch high-definition screen. There is an upgraded camera directly in front of
, which supports 4K ultra-high-definition video recording, an 8-megapixel image sensor, and the picture quality is 3840x2160 resolution. The lens can be adjusted up and down 35 degrees, suitable for different car models. Adjust to a suitable shooting angle and capture images in different scenarios.
There are four function buttons at the bottom of the screen, using physical buttons.
has a slot on the left side of the recorder, which can hold a TF card, and can support up to 128G TF card.
Z50 driving recorder also has a built-in loudspeaker and supports voice operations and reminders. The back of the
host is covered with a large area of 3M adhesive, which allows the driving recorder to be more firmly stuck in a fixed position. It also has an electrostatic sticker to protect the surface film on the windshield. There is a Type-c power supply port on the top of
Z50, which can provide power.
Plug in the power and you can turn it on. After
is turned on, an installation suggestion interface will appear, with reference lines to guide you on how to install it accurately.
At the same time, you can also adjust functions such as brightness and volume at will.
also has an automatic shutdown function after 15 minutes of parking, so you no longer have to worry about forgetting to turn it off. The installation of
is also very simple, just connect the cable.
Attach the adsorption sticker. The installation of
is completed and can be done in 10 minutes. After installation, the angle between
and the car glass is only 15 degrees. It is close to the glass, which can greatly reduce road reflection, and the recording will be clearer and more accurate.
3. Using experience
After using it for a period of time, I feel that the performance is also very good. The main points are as follows:
First, the image is clear, 4K ultra-clear picture quality, equipped with a new 1/2.7-inch CMOS image sensor, bringing 3840x2160 resolution of ultra-high-definition quality. The 135-degree wide light angle lens can capture images of multiple lanes. The effect of night vision is also very good. Dandaipai has self-developed night vision technology, coupled with 7 sets of high-transmittance lenses and F1.75 ultra-large aperture, which can provide sufficient light input, so that it can be used in low-light environments. You can take clear pictures without worrying about unclear picture quality at night, and you can drive at night with peace of mind. The color effect of
images is also very good. Realcube image enhancement makes the colors more vivid and delicate. The built-in environment adaptive image algorithm better improves the color perception and ensures true colors in different scenes. Bring better image effects. The picture below shows the effect on tunnels and elevated roads.
Second, it is safe and secure. D2save emergency dual storage is used. When the system detects an abnormality in the memory card, it can automatically switch to NAND flash storage. It also automatically repairs damaged files after replacing the memory card, making it safer and more secure to use without having to worry about abnormal missed recordings. And comes with 24-hour parking monitoring. After the vehicle is turned off, the recorder automatically enters surveillance video mode and will automatically record if there is an abnormal collision.
Third, it also has automatic loop recording, which locks the video when it collides. It uses H.265 video encoding to record a one-minute video, which consumes only 350MB of memory and saves space. Ordinary videos support automatic loop recording, eliminating the trouble of frequently cleaning files. Emergency latch videos are stored separately and will not be overwritten. Emergency videos and emergency snapshots will be stored separately, making them easy to find.
Fourth, it has built-in GPS, which can accurately record driving conditions. Through the high-precision GPS module, the vehicle driving status information can be recorded, and the vehicle position can be displayed through AGPS integration, which helps to provide more vehicle status information during trajectory query.
five is super capacitor , safe and durable. Different from other recorders, this recorder has a built-in supercapacitor with high temperature resistance, which makes it have a longer service life and is more environmentally friendly, avoiding potential safety hazards caused by high temperature in the car, aging and flammability and explosion.
Sixth, it has a starting reminder for the vehicle in front, which can capture the status of the vehicle in front and accurately identify the status of the vehicle in front. It is easy to be distracted while waiting for the traffic light. The voice prompt can effectively avoid the embarrassment of being urged by the vehicle behind. It also has a voice command capture function. You can control the driving test and recorder through voice. You can control the switch of to record and take pictures using , easily freeing the driver's hands. It also supports Bluetooth remote control capture. When taking pictures, a short video of 10-30 seconds before and after will be generated. You can also capture every wonderful moment while driving, but you need to purchase the Z50 dedicated Bluetooth remote control from Dadaipai for use together.
At the same time, it also supports mobile APP interconnection, which can be connected to the Dadaipai APP. The APP interface has multiple settings such as display date, driving trajectory, speed information, altitude information, lane information, orientation information, speed and distance of the vehicle in front, etc. The overall effect of
is very good, and the shooting is very clear. The picture below is taken on a viaduct.
Bicycles and cars under the viaduct can be seen clearly, and the field of vision is large. The picture of
entering the gas station is also very clear.
It can also be clearly photographed in low light. When it is dark under the gas station, you can clearly see the license plate number in front.
Don’t worry if you often work overtime and walk at night. The recording effect at night is also very good and you can see clearly in the lane.
It’s past 10 o’clock in the evening, and cars on the road can still see their license plate numbers clearly.
ultra-wide angle can increase the field of view and provide a panoramic view of the situation on the road.
You can clearly see the license plate number on the side and opposite sides of a complex parking lot like this, without missing any blind spots.
We can see that information such as time and speed can be displayed, becoming strong evidence for handling accidents.
After installing and downloading the Duipai APP, you can view the real-time picture on your mobile phone, and the driving recorder in the car will be synchronized with the mobile phone. The videos stored in
are convenient and easy to find. All data are clearly visible. The driving path and speed are completely recorded. The driving status can be well observed without worrying about accountability.
Summary
Overall, I am quite satisfied with it. The body is small and exquisite, the startup screen is clear, and the button logic is simple and clear. Bluetooth connection to mobile phone APP is simple to operate and downloading pictures and videos is very convenient. The price is more than 500, which feels very cost-effective. However, the built-in screen can only press buttons and does not support touch screen. It is not very convenient to use. I hope it can be improved in the future.
This is my experience of using it. I hope it can help you who are also choosing a driving recorder and protect your safety.
