9,999 yen equipped with Wi-Fi, anchor-made Dragon "DASHCAM C1" review
The Roav Dashcam C1 by Anchor Japan, famous for mobile batteries, has a reasonable price model that can be purchased for less than 10,000 yen including tax, but has the same functions as high-level models such as parking and Wi-Fi.It is a high drive recorder.The angle of view is also characterized by the fact that the drive recorder in this price range can be widely photographed at 145 degrees, and that it uses a Sony CMOS sensor that has a reputation for image quality.Let's check your skills in detail.
The body size of the ROAV DASHCAM C1 is 66 x 86 x 36mm in height, and is a very compact design as a drive recorder.If you install it on the back of the room mirror, you will not have to hinder the visibility while driving.The main body is a half -tied and erased black metal frame, so it has a sense of luxury.The weight was 119g and felt heavy for the size.
The back is equipped with a 2.4 -inch LCD panel, and you can play the recorded video or call the menu screen to change the settings.However, the screen was small, probably because the main unit was compact, and on this screen, it was difficult to confirm rough things, such as the surrounding cars, people, and the color of the traffic light, but it was difficult to determine the characters in the number.
At the bottom of the screen, there are four touch -type buttons, and you can use these buttons to read and operate the setting screen, and to record in an emergency.The reaction of the touch button was very good, and I was able to operate it simply by touching it lightly.The setting screen is a format in which items are listed in the icon, and it is easy to operate while looking at the screen.The screen display also supports Japanese.Although the size of the text is small because the screen is small, the outline of the text is clear and it is not difficult to read.
I was worried that when I wanted to reach out from the driver's seat when I pause the car, it is difficult to tell where the touch type button is.In addition, it was difficult to execute emergency recording, which manually retains the necessary situations, because the fingers must be accurately extended to the button location.
The attached power cable is a type that supply power from the USB terminal, so it can be supplied not only from the USB power adapter for the included cigar socket, but also from the USB terminal mounted on the car.By the way, the attached cigar socket power adapter has two USB terminals, and I felt it was convenient to be able to charge smartphones and tablets at the same time.This area is a manufacturer of a mobile battery that is resistant to charging.
The power cable is a common microUSB cable, but it is about 3m long, so even a large car will not run out of length.People who want to attach them to the rear window as a countermeasure measure.The MicroUSB connector on the drive recorder side is L -shaped, and after installation, the cable can be wiring along the main unit, which does not hinder the visibility.
Installation to the car is a method of fixing the windshield with a powerful double -sided tape via a resin mount.Since the mount is just a flat board, there is no function to adjust the direction of the camera, and once the drive recorder is attached, I am worried that the left and right directions cannot be adjusted.When installing, it is necessary to first turn on the drive recorder, check the scope of the screen, and then decide on the position.
The mount has a structure that can be easily removed by sliding sideways, so it is convenient for those who try to remove the drive recorder during parking in preparation for theft.
