Today, using a car without an installed DVR is already a non-standard situation. The small device makes life much easier in case of controversial situations on the road and thus takes care of the safety of the driver and passengers. That is why the DVR has become one of the most essential accessories for a motorist.
Getting a good car recorder is only half the battle. It is very important to correctly place the recorder in the car. The device must be installed in such a way as to have maximum visibility without disturbing the driver.
The more the registrar removes, the easier it will later be to sort out some controversial situation.
The car salon has several standard points where a DVR can be installed. This is a windshield, torpedo or center mirror.
This does not mean that you need to install the recorder this way. If you come up with something non-standard, it will be even better, because you can suddenly find a convenient shooting angle or make the recorder less noticeable. For example, by placing the recorder on the kenguryat, you will increase its viewing angle. But at the same time, you will need to take care of the safety of the DVR itself.
How to place the DVR in the car in an optimal way
Traditionally, the DVR is located on the windshield of the car under the center mirror. This point is most similar to the driver's point of view and, accordingly, what the driver sees while driving will be recorded on the video.
The recorder is mounted on a suction cup or double-sided tape directly to the windshield from the inside. The suction cup version has a tendency to fall off on the go. This is especially noticeable when there are temperature drops.
When choosing an attachment point, you need to take into account factors such as, which will need to reach the cigarette lighter and the dimensions of the DVR itself. Of course, you can use an extension cord for the power cord, but the more wires there are in the car, the less convenient the operation.
The location of the recorder should not interfere with the driver's view. A bulky body can block part of the view or make it difficult to place the center mirror in a convenient position. The recorder should not rattle and fall off on the move from shaking or other influences.
It is necessary to remember and. For example, constant exposure to sunlight or warm air from the stove directed directly at the recorder can quickly damage the device. The recorder can be protected from the sun with a special reflector while it is parked, while the flow of hot air from the oven can no longer be reflected.
There are recorder models that are mounted on a torpedo or attached directly to the central mirror. Also available are mirrors built into the center mirror. Such devices are sometimes very convenient, especially if there is not a lot of space in the car. In addition, they are less susceptible to shaking and are better fixed with standard fastening means.
Rear window DVR
In addition to the frontal recorder sometimes. It can be useful both in parking lots to record any movement near the car, and while driving on the road. Some models can be displayed on a special monitor or head unit and used as a parking camera. Also, it will help if there is insufficient visibility in traffic or during rain and snow.
Some DVRs are equipped with an additional camera, and in this case, you can use one device at once for the front and rear view. The camera is compact and does not interfere with the driver and passengers at all when installed on the rear bumper or on the glass.
