Auto-VOX Drive recorder V5 Product Review
"Auto-VOX" is a company in Shenzhen and sells car electronics products."Drive recorder V5", which is reviewed this time, is a mirror -mounting drive recorder suitable for right -hand drive cars in Japan, and has a camera on the right side of the driver when installed, so it is from the driver's perspective.You can record in a close form.
The package of the product is a blue band with a white simple box.There is no extra decoration.
Inside, in addition to the main unit, all necessary items such as a power socket connector and rubber band for power supply are included.
At the top of the main unit, there are USB Type-C connectors for power supply (cigar charge) connection, AV terminal for rear camera connection, recording microSD card slot, and dedicated connector for GPS.
On the lower side, a button for power/mode switching.By pressing and holding, the power ON/OFF can be switched when power is energized.
The camera is installed on the right side of the direction of travel when the mirror -type drive recorder is installed.Since the camera position can be moved to some extent, it is possible to adjust the position that is easy to see.
"Auto-VOX drive recorder V5" is super easy to attach to the car.Just fix the room mirror with two rubber bands and connect the power to the cigar socket.Hooking a rubber band takes a little power, but you don't have to worry about it if you don't have a rare thing with a solid hold feeling.
If the power supply is a method to connect to the cigar socket, simply insert the attached cigar charge (power supply for the cigar connector connection) in the cigar socket.
When installing the rear camera in the car, crawl the cable and paste it on the upper part of the rear window with a double -sided sticker.The connection of the GPS unit is also OK with the connection and seal.
However, if you crawl the cable neatly in the car or store it in the interior, it is a good idea to assume more than 30 minutes to 1 hour.The attached instruction manual also describes the installation method by illustration, so if you read it carefully, it can be installed without any problems.
However, when attaching the rear camera to a license plate outside the vehicle (handling or installation of the cable) or connecting to the backlight.In addition, when using the "parking monitoring function ( *)", which is automatically recorded due to impact at the time of parking, the difficulty of the work will be high.
* When using the "parking monitoring function", it is necessary to work directly to the fuse box and secure power supply because the power is applied.
Both installation methods are listed in the instruction manual, but it is necessary to check the shape of the fuse before purchasing, so it may be more reliable to ask a dedicated contractor.
When the installation of "AUTO-VOX Drive Recorder V5" is completed, start it in conjunction with the engine start.After startup, various operation icons are displayed on the mirror screen.By touching this icon with your fingertips, settings and functions can be operated.
The functions of each icon are as follows.
Also, when the rear camera is displayed, swipe the right side while touching the screen, the parking guide will be displayed.The parking guide can be adjusted to some extent up and down.
I have uploaded the actual driving data to YouTube, so please check the quality.Auto-VOX drive recorder V5 is recorded in ultra-definition of 1080p full HD (1920 x 1080) for both front and rear cameras.(The image quality of YouTube players is displayed almost the same as the recording quality at 1080p)
The left and right shooting is 145 degrees wide -angle, and there are few blind spots, and it will be perfect as a record video in the unlikely event.
In addition, the night recording was recorded with sufficient visibility.
In the case of a low -priced drive recorder that can be purchased for several thousand yen, there are many difficulties in night images, but this product was a recorded data that could feel enough performance for the price.
As mentioned above, the recorded image quality was very beautiful.During the day, both at night, the license plate of the surrounding cars could be confirmed, and the color of the LED signal was taken without any problems.
Since the engine is not running, it is necessary to secure a power supply, so it is a "parking monitoring function" that requires direct connection wiring to the fuse box, but if the installation is completed, the sensitivity is sufficient.
After stopping the engine, we opened and closed the door, opened and closed the bonnet, but even if the door was opened and closed a little, it was recorded and executed with the G sensor (impact detection function) and it was preserved firmly.rice field.
* The sensitivity of the G sensor can be changed by setting.
The instruction manual was completely Japanese, but the translation was somewhat confusing, and there were some places that were somewhat difficult to understand and typographical errors.In addition, there is no website for Japan as of March 2020, so it is a little difficult to collect information.
In the case of overseas products, the accuracy of the translation of the instruction manual and the after -support on the website will lead to user satisfaction, so if this point is improved in the future, it will not lead to higher satisfaction.Uh?
For video players for viewing the recorded videos on PC/Mac, in the instruction manual ...
Download the player on the website and install according to the instructions on the screen.Make sure to download accurate software.
There is a description, but as mentioned above, there is no website in Japan, so it is unknown where to download it.(Confirming with the manufacturer)
* March 31, 2020 postscript Manufacturer answer is available
In the case of Windows, if you connect an SD card containing the recorded data to a computer with a leader, the player will be installed automatically.
In the case of a Mac OS, you can download a dedicated application by searching for "Auto-VOX GPS Player" on the App Store.
* Since the download link is also arranged, it will be posted below.
Windows用 AUTO-VOX ドライブレコーダー動画再生用プレイヤーダウンロード（OneDrive）When the speed display mode is turned on, the speed while running is displayed in Mira.At first glance, the speed is more convenient because the speed is more accurate than the analog speedometer, but when used at night, the monitor emits bright light, so the role as a mirror is impaired.
From the safety, I felt it was a function that was not very practical at night.
As with all types of drive recorders that are attached to the room mirror, depending on the model, the motion range of the mirror is limited, and it may be difficult to adjust the camera shooting position well.
I adjusted the room mirror as usual with a height of 173cm and did not hinder shooting, but if the height is large or low, it may affect the shooting.
summary
Auto-VOX drive recorder V5 felt that it was enough for the price for a mirror-mounting type drive recorder that can be purchased for less than 20,000 yen.Especially in terms of image quality, it is rarely complaining that the recorded video is unclear.
In addition, switching between front cameras/rear cameras and parking guides for the rear camera will be easy and useful.
On the other hand, given the inconvenience of the display speed mode mentioned above, the difficulty of the instruction manual, and the lack of Japanese explanation website, it is somewhat difficult to say that it can be recommended to those who use the drive recorder for the first time.Unfortunately.It is not a product that can be recommended for everyone.I felt that it was a bit of an expert, such as users who have used various car products made overseas and those who can enjoy trial and error themselves.
