Cheap drive recorder "ROAV DASHCAM C1" that can be linked with smartphones: Xperia peripherals

　I often see car trouble recently.I thought it would be nice to have a drive recorder in case of emergency, but I didn't have a heavy waist, but I thought it would be interesting if I could work with smartphones such as Xperia, so I finally bought it.

　The choice this time was that the simpler would be easier to install, so Anker's "ROAV DASHCAM C1" (hereinafter Dashcam C1).It is an integrated camera and a space -saving model.

　The DASHCAM C1 includes a car charger and a MicroUSB cable, two mounting mounts, adjustment bars, and instruction manuals required to use it as a drive recorder.

　The body size is about 86 x 66 x 36mm, about 119g, which is very compact and lightweight.Uses a Sony CMOS image sensor, and can shoot at full HD resolution.In addition, 145 degrees wide -angle lenses are F value 1.It is bright at 8 and demonstrates its power even at night.

　You need to prepare a MicroSD card separately for the video record.The microSD card slot is very small, and I'm worried that it may not come out if I put it once, but I confirmed that when I pushed the fitting card, it would come out.

　Now, attach it to a blind spot with the back mirror of the car window glass.It is a good place to quietly feel that it does not hinder the visibility while driving at all.When deciding on the mounting mount and pasting it, do not stick the seal suddenly and stick it, but check the position with the MicroUSB connected.It is important to be careful not to interfere with the support of the mirror and not to be installed later.

　From there, use the attached adjustment bar to wire the long MicroUSB cable via the pillar of the car via the dashboard to the cigar socket to hide inside the interior.Since the car charger has 2 ports, the other is convenient for using Xperia.Finally, adjust the direction of the camera so that the front road is reflected.

　When the car engine is started, DashCam C1 starts up automatically, and at the same time starts recording.When the engine is stopped, it will be automatically turned off after a 60 -second countdown.

　From the main unit settings, the resolution can be selected from 1080p/30fps, 720p/60fps, 720p/30fps.The length of the loop recording is 1, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes.If you detect the sensitivity and movement of the impact, you can set the parking lot monitor to be recorded low, medium, high, and off.In the case of 1080p/30fps, the MicroSD card with a capacity of 32GB is 320 minutes, the capacity is 640 minutes, and the capacity is 1280 minutes for 1280 minutes.If the remaining amount is gone, it will be overwritten and recorded.

　When the collision is sensed, the sensor works, recording a 30 -second video, and the key mark is displayed.The key mark is protected and is not overwritten.

　The recorded video can be confirmed on the liquid crystal display of the main unit, but it is difficult to see it because the outer light is dazzling, and it is difficult to use it as it is, including the mounting position and operability.However, it is also a good idea to remove the drive recorder to watch the video.In such a case, you can check the video with a smartphone app via Wi-Fi.

　When the "ROAV" app is installed on the Xperia and the Wi-Fi function of DashCam C1 is turned on, it is connected to the connection.Check the recorded video list from chronological order and thumbnail, and select a video to play videos by streaming.It is very convenient to be able to check the video immediately.Moreover, you can easily delete unnecessary videos by selecting multiple or more.

　If you look at the large screen of Xperia, you can clearly see the clearness of the recorded video.A 145 -degree wide -angle lens has a wide left and right view, and if it is close to some extent, the license plate and people can be recognized quite clearly.Of course, the audio is also recorded, so you can check the music inside the car to the voice you are emitting.

　If you check the video recorded at night, you will not know the details of the distance or the darkness, but the lights of the building, the outside lights, the headlights of the car, and the width of the car are more reflected than expected.I did it.

　However, in the backlight that glows with the headlights of the car running from the front, the license plate may be difficult to see.Still, I am satisfied enough if I can shoot this much during the day, of course.

　Not only streaming playback, but can also be downloaded to smartphones, so you can quickly share it on YouTube or SNS.The maintenance of recorded videos is well done, but if you want to say that you can set the Dashcam C1 from the smartphone app, I think it will be more convenient.

　It is low cost and easy to attach, and it is quite easy to check videos at any time with Xperia.It may be a good idea to introduce it only for the drive recorder that is useful in case of emergency.
