12 best DVRs mirrors

Riding in Russia without a DVR is not recommended. First, you lose wonderful shots with fun moments. Secondly, you will not be able to help people who are in search of eyewitnesses of this or that incident. Thirdly, you risk not proving your innocence in the event of an accident. And these are only three main reasons for using a DVR! Most often, drivers make their choice in favor of the traditional device, made in the form of a separate device. But we recommend to pay attention to the DVRs, which are also a rear-view mirror. They do not occupy a separate space in front of the windshield, as a result of which the review becomes wider. Also, such a device can not be removed in the glove compartment when you leave the car's interior - attackers will definitely not steal it, as it is very difficult to recognize an expensive DVR in the rearview mirror. In a word, let's take a look at the best models on the Russian market.

Best inexpensive DVRs with rear-view mirror installation

Dunobil Spiegel Solo

Rating: 4.8

One of the most affordable DVRs in the form of a rear-view mirror. The picture here is displayed on the right side of the mirror. The lens is used is simple, but the angle of view is not bad - it is 120 °. Unlike most conventional DVRs, Dunobil Spiegel Solo offers as much as 4.3-inch image. That is, the diagonal of the screen is comparable to any GPS-navigator. On such a display, the DPS inspector accurately examines the incident in full detail.

The video here is written in Full HD resolution. Sound is additionally written, and not every DVR has a microphone. However, if you want to reduce the weight of the video, then the microphone can be turned off - this is done in the corresponding settings section. Along the way, the device writes the date and time, which can also be useful in certain cases.

Video shooting can begin automatically. Thanks for this function should shock sensor, located inside the DVR - he understands that the car is set in motion. If the car is parked in a deserted place, it does not interfere with the activation of the motion detector. In this case, the video will begin immediately after the person was found in the frame.

This DVR is powered both from the on-board network and from the built-in battery. To store data, use a memory card, the maximum supported volume of which is 32 GB.To transfer the material to a computer, you can use the traditional connection to the micro-USB connector.

Artway AV-601

Rating: 4.7

This rearview mirror is slightly less tall and slightly wider. At the same time, there is also a screen with a diagonal of 4.3 inches. But now it occupies not half of the mirror area, but about a third. This means that the rearview mirror is still convenient to use for its intended purpose.

Unlike the above example, this device has an input for another camera. It turns out that with the help of this DVR you can shoot what is happening and the front and rear.

The cost of the DVR is small. In this regard, the manufacturer has become generous only on a tiny matrix - its size is only 1/4 inch. But then it is made using CMOS technology, so the picture is written with the correct color rendition. Shooting is conducted with a resolution of 1440x1080 pixels and a frequency of 30 frames / s. Along the way, the image is superimposed on the date and time, which the DPS officer will definitely need. Together with the picture can be written and sound. If necessary, the built-in microphone can be turned off. It should be noted that the sound from the external camera in any case is not written.

Of course, loop recording is supported here. This means that formatting a memory card is only required in some extreme case. As for the lens, it has a viewing angle of 120 °, if measured on a diagonal. I am glad that the lenses are glass - usually manufacturers of inexpensive gadgets opt for plastic.

The software part of the DVR can not be called difficult. In the menu, you can activate auto start recording. Timer shutdown and file recording after power off are also available. The capacity of the battery installed here is 180 mAh.

Despite its low cost, the Artway AV-601 DVR comes with a second camera. It removes it with a resolution of 720x480 pixels, and the viewing angle of its lens does not exceed 90 g.

Artway AV-610

Rating: 4.6

This DVR has a very low price tag - in Russia you can buy it for about 1500 rubles. It is because of the low cost, he fell into our rating. Perhaps, this model was created exclusively for those who need a DVR only for peace of mind. The fact is that he does his job, but not in the best way. Although there is even a G-sensor, thanks to which video recording starts automatically. Also, the product received a battery. But its capacity is only 1020 mAh - this is enough only for a couple of minutes of video shooting.

Inside this mirror DVR is a CMOS matrix, which is 1/4 inch in size. With the help of such a sensor, a picture is written only in the resolution of 1280x720 pixels and with a frequency of 30 frames / s. The viewing angle is only 90 °. In short, the parameters are far from the best. The picture clearly does not suit everyone. Even glass lenses do not save with such characteristics - car numbers are clearly distinguishable only in very good lighting conditions.

Unlike the models discussed above, here the picture is displayed on a very small screen, about the size of a matchbox.But the area of ​​the rear-view mirror was as large as possible. As for the software component, it is difficult to find fault with it. There is support for loop recording mode. Timer shutdown is not forgotten - this is useful if you want to continue video recording after you left the car. There is also a motion detection in the frame.

The best DVRs with the installation of a rear-view mirror in the middle price segment

Vizant 957NK

Rating: 4.9

Already significantly more expensive DVR. If the devices reviewed above in this rating had a screen on the left side of the mirror, here it is located right in the center. But his diagonal has been increased to 7 inches. And not only the picture from the camera, but also, for example, the GPS navigator is displayed on it.

This DVR supports the connection of a second camera, which is included in the kit. This allows you to simultaneously shoot and what is happening in front, and the car interior. Or you can use the remote camera as an analogue PDC. The picture from the main camera is written in the resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and with a frequency of 30 frames / s. If an accident occurs, the impact sensor will definitely feel it - the video file will have a corresponding mark. Also thanks to the G-sensor, the automatic start of the video recording is implemented. However, the video shooting starts after the motion is detected in the frame, if the corresponding detector is activated in the settings.

The structure of the built-in camera includes good lenses. However, the manufacturer does not specify whether they are made of glass or plastic. The viewing angle is also not specified, but it is very wide - people in the reviews do not complain. There is a device and a microphone. In short, the video will not be silent.

DVR Vizant 957NK is powered only by the on-board network, the built-in battery is here. But, as mentioned above, the product has a full-fledged GPS-navigation. “Yandex.Navigator” is installed here as a map service. It requires synchronization with a smartphone, which will provide Internet traffic to the DVR mirror. However, you can do without a smartphone - if you insert a SIM card, the cards will be updated via 3G networks.

In fact, you can install any other applications here. The fact is that it does not use its own firmware, but the Android 5.0 operating system. For data storage are 16 GB of permanent memory. However, it is better to write video on a microSD memory card, the maximum supported volume of which is 32 GB.

Dunobil Spiegel Eva

Rating: 4.8

Another DVR-mirror in our rating, supporting the connection of an additional camera. As in the case of other similar models discussed above, the second camera comes in the kit. It has a very tiny size, which allows for certain tricks to place it behind the car to simplify parking itself. As for the main camera, it has a viewing angle of 170 °, if measured on a diagonal. This is a great result. However, this does not mean that the user will receive the perfect picture.Unfortunately, only a two megapixel matrix is ​​installed here. Of course, it is enough for the video to be written in Full HD resolution. But the detailing is still lame - if the numbers of the nearest cars are seen quite well, then the license plates of the other vehicles cannot be said.

Like most DVRs reviewed in this rating, Dunobil Spiegel Eva has a switchable microphone. Also, the product received a speaker, which can also be useful. Somewhere under the body of the device there is a G-sensor, thanks to which the automatic start of the video recording is realized. As for the program part, it is necessary to note the possible inclusion of the WDR function. If you activate it, you can at least partially improve the picture, getting rid of overexposure and too dark areas. Of course, there is also support for cyclic recording mode.

The structure of the DVR mirror included a battery with a capacity of 300 mAh. So, the device can work with it, and not only from the on-board network of the car. The picture here is displayed on a 5-inch screen - it is located on the left side of the mirror.

Slimtec Dual M3

Rating: 4.7

Another DVR sold in Russia for 5-6 thousand rubles. From the above considered instances, it is distinguished by the increased resolution of the video, here this parameter is 2304x1296 pixels. Recording can be done in cyclical mode, which saves the driver from having to regularly format the memory card. Shooting can start in automatic mode - for this, including the shock sensor. Together with the picture and sound is written. But if it is not necessary, then the microphone can be turned off. Present in the DVR and the speaker - it allows you to view the result of shooting with sound, which in some cases is quite capable of helping.

Glass lenses provide a built-in camera with a viewing angle of 170 °. The software part includes an image stabilizer. But remember that it copes with its task much worse than its optical counterpart, embedded in handheld camcorders and top-end smartphones.

This DVR supports the connection of a second camera. It is even available in the kit. What is important, it is of good quality. Her picture is written in HD-resolution, and its viewing angle is 120 °. It even has an IP65 waterproof class! In short, such a camera can be attached to the back of the car, estimating the distance to the nearest obstacle during parking.

In most cases, the Slimtec Dual M3 will operate from the onboard network. But do not forget that there is a battery. Moreover, its capacity reaches 800 mAh - this is almost a record in the world of DVR mirrors!

TrendVision MR-700GP

Rating: 4.6

This DVR has a 4.3-inch display, located in the central region of the mirror. The price tag of the device turned out quite high. This is due to both the large size of the device and the increased matrix. The latter uses a 1/3 inch CMOS sensor. For you to understand, in the action cameras only a slightly larger matrix is ​​used. Sensor resolution is 4 Mp. In the presence of normal glass optics, such a matrix is ​​very photosensitive.As a result, high-quality shooting is possible even at night.

The lens of this device is wide-angle. But the viewing angles are still not record. This goes even in the DVR plus - the picture is not too distorted. Videos with funny moments can be easily uploaded to YouTube, it is unlikely that viewers will make complaints about the quality of the material.

The DVR has got a good microphone at its disposal. If you want to reduce the weight of the video, you can easily disable it. Also, the product has a motion detector in the frame and a shock sensor. On the case of the device there is a connector for connecting an additional camera, but there is no such bundle. But the presence of a GPS chip here will seem to someone more important. At his expense, the device can be used to navigate around the city or any other area. Including the device can create a route and provide voice prompts.

Unlike most of these DVRs, this model is able to recognize memory cards up to 128 GB. Also present here is an unexpected guest - HDMI. This connector allows you to display a picture on a monitor or TV. When can it be relevant? Perhaps, in the case of a serious accident, during which the screen at the DVR is completely broken. In short, the manufacturer thought out almost everything!

Artway MD-161 Combo 3 in 1

Rating: 4.5

In our rating, we have already reviewed several DVRs, which are supplemented by a GPS navigator. But some manufacturers have gone even further. For example, the Artway MD-161 also includes a radar detector! As a result, three devices are hidden under one housing. And all this is sold for only 6-7 thousand rubles. Do I need to say that the purchase of such devices separately would cost a larger amount? Yes, and they blocked the review would be much stronger.

If we talk exclusively about the DVR, it is able to boast a CMOS-matrix, the size of which is 1/3 inch. 8 megapixel resolution allows you to write a picture in very good quality. It can easily be compared with what the front cameras of expensive smartphones are capable of. Also, the DVR has glass lenses, thanks to which a 140-degree viewing angle is provided when measured diagonally.

The picture is written by the product in the resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and with a frequency of 25 frames / s. Video shooting can start automatically - for example, if motion is detected in a frame or a shock sensor is triggered. Also, the driver can configure the shutdown timer. Video filming continues even after the device is disconnected from the on-board network - there is a 500 mAh battery here. Together with the DVR you need a memory card. Its maximum supported capacity is 32 GB.

Now let's move on to additional functionality. It uses a 4.3-inch display located on the left side of the mirror. Not only the image from the built-in camera, but also maps can be output to it. The GPS navigator is working properly; it regularly provides the driver with voice prompts while driving on a route. You can only find fault with a “cold start” when searching for satellites takes a long time.

The radar detector also works properly. It is sharpened under the radar of several ranges. He is also able to warn about the Strelka and Avtodoria complexes. The database of cameras can be updated regularly.

Perhaps this is one of the best video recorders of this type! He lacks only the ability to connect a second camera.

The best video recorders with the installation of a rear-view mirror of the premium segment

Xiaomi Smart Rearview Mirror

Rating: 4.9

It must be soon that our Xiaomi products will be included in each of our ratings. This Chinese company is trying to enter all new markets, producing seemingly the most atypical devices for it. For example, some time ago, the company released a DVR located in the body of the rear-view mirror. From the models discussed above, it is distinguished by a very large display - its diagonal is 8.88 inches. In fact, it occupies the entire area of ​​the mirror. Therefore, while viewing any information you will not be able to look back. However, most of the time the screen is still not active, providing the user with a traditional mirror.

This DVR is estimated at 16-18 thousand rubles. For such money, I would like to get not only the DVR. The Chinese manufacturer supposedly read our thoughts. As a result, the product offers a driver assistance system ADAS, FM radio and a full-featured GPS navigator. If you insert a SIM card here, the cards will be updated online using 3G networks. However, you can do without it - synchronization with a smartphone via Wi-Fi is available here. Another among the present wireless modules is Bluetooth, with which sound is output to the car’s audio system or headset.

Somewhere inside the device is a CMOS matrix, the size of which is 1 / 2.9 inches. Its resolution is not specified, but the video itself is written in Full HD and with a frequency of 30 frames / s - it is difficult to make any claims to it. Light enters the matrix after passing through the lens, the viewing angle of which is 160 °. Video can start automatically if the corresponding sensor detects the start of movement. Video recording can continue even after the driver got out of the car - the device received a battery with a capacity of 370 mAh.

so what? Is it ideal? As if not so. Everyone knows that the company Xiaomi creates new devices exclusively for the native market. So the firmware Smart Rearview Mirror is not yet localized. Moreover, you can activate the device only from the Chinese number - the SIM card of the Russian operator will not give you anything. The voice prompts of the GPS navigator in Chinese will also strain you. In short, while buying this DVR does not make any sense. Now he got into our rating only because someday he can get localization - then the gadget will really be worth its money.

DUNOBIL SPIEGEL SMART DUO 3G

Rating: 4.8

Slightly less expensive DVR. At the same time, he also received a GPS navigator. The manufacturer saved only on the display. However, the 6.86-inch screen is enough for most buyers. The display is centered. When it is activated, there are still areas with a mirror that can be used for its intended purpose. However, their total area becomes very small, it can not be denied.

The lens installed here has a viewing angle of 150 ° (diagonally). Characteristics of the matrix manufacturer are not given. However, buyers note that it is extremely difficult to find fault with the picture quality.License plates traveling a little ahead of cars are well read. The picture is written in the resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, while the video can be divided into segments of one, two or three minutes, or be completely continuous. The bottom of the video shows the time, date, and even speed. Also, the video is supplied with sound.

On the case of the device there is a video input - it serves to connect an external camera. Unfortunately, there is no such bundle, which is why the cost of the DVR is reduced to 10 thousand rubles. It should also be noted that the device received a G-sensor. He understands that a blow has occurred, in connection with which you need to save the event in a separate file.

To control the mirror-DVR, the fingers of the driver or the passenger sitting to his right are used - the screen installed here has a touch pad. Basically it is required to use the built-in GPS-navigator. Of course, such a device requires regular updating of maps. To do this, you can rely on the 3G network - you just need to remember to insert a SIM card here. You can also take traffic from your smartphone, distributing it over Wi-Fi. Finally, there is also Bluetooth, thanks to which the sound is output to the acoustics connected to the car stereo.

Maps and videos are offered to be stored in the built-in memory, the amount of which is 16 GB. If this does not seem enough, then a microSD card will come to the rescue. Another product can boast a built-in battery, the capacity of which reaches a decent 500 mAh.

TrendVision MR-710

Rating: 4.8

A rare case when the DVR exists in two colors at once. The case of the first is painted gray, and the second - in black. In any case, the case will be made of plastic, and the price will be about 11 thousand rubles. The picture here is displayed on a 4.3-inch display occupying the central part of the mirror. At the same time, the areas under the screen and on its sides remain very large.

This model differs from many competitors in a wide viewing angle - it reaches 147 ° (diagonally). To fit everything in one frame, while getting rid of the overly strong effect of "fish eye", the manufacturer added the ability to shoot at a resolution of 2560x1080 pixels. If it seems to you that your computer will not be able to consistently reproduce such a picture, you can choose standard video in Full HD - the frequency will increase to 60 frames / s.

Of course, there is a cyclic recording mode available. This means that you can buy an inexpensive memory card with a capacity of 8 GB - this is quite enough. If the G-sensor felt a blow, then the corresponding video file is highlighted by a special name - it will not be overwritten anymore. The autostart of the recording is also available here, including when a moving object is detected in the frame. Sound may be recorded along with the video. If you do not need it, you can turn off the microphone. Available here and connect an external camera. However, the video recording channel is still the same; the picture from the second camera will not be saved.

If many DVRs discussed above additionally have a GPS navigator, then there is no such function. There is no radar detector. It can be seen that the manufacturer has invested all the money in the main components. In particular, the device received glass lenses - partly thanks to them the picture is written in such a good quality. He also endowed his creation with an HDMI output, due to which the resulting video can be viewed on a monitor or TV. The device menu does not slow down at all - for this you need to thank 2 GB of RAM. It remains to be regretted that the permanent memory here is much less - only 128 MB.

The DVR is powered by the onboard network. If you want to continue video shooting when the car engine is muffled, you can use the built-in battery, the capacity of which is 300 mAh.A full charge is enough for about 20 minutes of video.

Vizant 955NK

Rating: 4.7

This mirror DVR costs about the same 11-12 thousand rubles. But many motorists will make a choice in his favor, since the device is a real combine. First, it comes with an extra camera. Secondly, there is a GPS-chip, thanks to which the device can be used to navigate around the city. That is why its 7-inch screen received a touch pad - it is much easier to choose a destination point rather than using physical buttons for this.

Under the body of the device is a 10-megapixel matrix. With its help, the video is shot at a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels at a frequency of 30 frames / s. The detailing is excellent, there are no questions to the DVR in this regard. Sound is written here. It's nice that the DVR includes a motion detection in the frame and a shock sensor - they can always be useful too.

By default, a GPS navigator from Yandex is installed on a device running Android. However, I don’t want to change it for something else, because it not only helps to reach the destination, but also warns about radar, focusing on its own base. Synchronization with a smartphone via Wi-Fi. But it is better to insert a SIM card - in this case, the DVR will transmit and receive data over 3G networks. Also then the “Anti-Evacuator” will be available, which is able in an emergency to send an SMS message to the driver's number.

It remains to add that two slots for a microSD memory card are built in at once. And here there is an FM transmitter. This device is powered only by the onboard network of the car, the built-in battery is not here.

Conclusion

Now you know which mirror DVRs are the best. A few years ago, the market for such devices consisted of only five or six models, and even those were far from ideal. Now the number of such DVRs passes for several dozen. Fortunately, with our help you are free from the agony of choice. Now you only need to decide on the amount and understand which of the shortcomings you agree to accept (they are, as you might have noticed, even among the top models).
