At present, the new car has been forced to install a driving recorder, so the model that does not have its own needs to be installed by itself. Which dashcam on the market is better? In this era of the Internet of Things, I am more inclined to support the network of products.
Initially selected two products that they are more satisfied with, namely 70 Mai M500 and Hikvision C6 Pro, because I don't know which product is better, I simply bought both products directly, made an experience comparison, and felt that it was suitable for me to stay. After a period of comprehensive experience, I have made a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of the two products, hoping to give consumers who are preparing to choose between the two a reference. (Code words are not easy, if this article is helpful to you, welcome to like and pay attention to Oh)
In order to save everyone's valuable time, before officially entering the evaluation topic, the author made a small table of contents, and everyone can read according to the content they want to know.
1. Price comparison;
Second: appearance and 4G module comparison (with accessories comparison);
Three: hardware configuration comparison;
Four: Recording effect comparison (day and night);
Five: installation;
Six: APP
Seven: Summary
One: selling price performance
Because the initial consideration is with parking monitoring function, so the two products are packaged, respectively, 70 Mai M500 64GB + 4G bracket + monitoring line, Hikvision C6 Pro + buck line + 4G cloud box.
In terms of price, although the positioning of the two products is roughly at the same level, if you count a detailed account, there is still a certain difference. Among them, the 70-mile suit can start at 719 yuan while the Hikvision C6 Pro suit takes 759 yuan to start, and the former is still more cost-effective.
To tell the truth, from the perspective of acceleration, if the latter between the two can be used better, the author will not care about the difference of dozens of dollars, after all, hundreds of dollars have been paid, is there still a difference of dozens of dollars? So, the key question is, in the case of a small price gap, who will have a better advantage?
2. Comparison of appearance and 4G module (with accessories comparison)
Go to our second largest comparison section – appearance comparison
Simple design. In terms of appearance, the difference between the two is still obvious. From the most intuitive first vision, Hikvision C6 Pro with the addition of a display, the volume is relatively large. On the contrary, in the details of the performance, the 70 M500 is more minimalist, relatively speaking, the author personally prefers the style of the 70 M500.
Perhaps many small partners will ask whether the recorder must have a screen, in fact, from my personal actual experience, the two products compared this time support APP settings, so C6 Pro
The design with the screen itself does not have a great advantage.
Then let's take a look at the other accessories of the product, both of which contain power cords and car charging heads. Slightly different, the 70 M500 does not come with an external memory card like hikvision C6 Pro due to the built-in eMMC 5.1 storage. At the same time, the stability of eMMC is higher, so the advantage of 70 miles in the stability plate is more obvious.
4G module comparison
If you want the whole process of use once and for all, it is still recommended that you also choose a 4G module, combined with the parking monitoring line, so that you can start the parking monitoring function and remotely view the parking space and other operations.
This feature is supported both hikvision C6 Pro and 70M500.
Of course, although both support 4G modules in terms of functions, the 70 M500 is simpler than hikvision C6 Pro. The reason for this is mainly that the 70 M500 adopts a bracket two-in-one design, and we can specifically look at the effect after installation.
As mentioned above, the effect of the 70 M500 after installing the 4G module, which adopts the one-piece design of the bracket, this structure is really very clever.
Hikvision C6 Pro is different, it still uses the traditional external 4G module design, that is, after the installation of the dashcam, the roof is also an extra piece of land for placing 4G modules.
In addition to the difference in installation methods, let's take a look at the difference between the packages of the 4G special cards that come with the two, 70 miles is a free monthly 1G of data, which can be used for free for 12 months. The Hikvision C6 Pro is a direct gift of 3G traffic, and you have to recharge at your own expense when you run out.
This small gap, the author only mentioned a little, if we are bulging, naturally can be ignored... Roar ~~
Three: hardware configuration comparison
When it comes to hardware configuration, it is mainly focused on the camera. The 70 M500 uses a 500W pixel lens, and the image quality resolution can reach 1944P pixels (close to 3K ultra-clear) with a field of view angle of 170°.
Hikvision C6 Pro is also a 500W pixel lens, with a resolution of 2560*1600P (2K ultra-clear) and a field of view angle of 130°.
From the perspective of hardware parameters alone, Hikvision C6 Pro also belongs to the main popular configuration in the current driving recorder products. However, the 170° field of view supported by the 70 M500 will have a better recording experience in actual use.
Four: Recording effect comparison (day and night)
So, here to knock on the point, on the basis of the above parameters, what kind of effect will it have to record two products day and night? (PS: Here I want to know the answer more than everyone else, after all, it cost double money, don't you just want to figure out the result)
70 M500
Hikvision C6 Pro
Judging from the picture situation compared during the day, the shooting time of the two is basically the same, the 70 M500 was shot at 17:36:42 seconds, and the Hikvision C6 Pro was shot at 17:36:41 seconds. Therefore, the author tries to avoid the impression caused by factors such as jet lag and location on the photo.
Well, this set of pictures taken during the day, the contrast effect is very obvious. The first is the clarity of the picture, both near and far objects are shot very clearly. However, it is worth noting that due to the shooting time close to dusk, the real picture taken by the 70 M500 is obviously more realistic than the Hikvision C6 Pro.
The second is the wide-angle shooting experience, also at the intersection, the 70 M500 can shoot more than 4 high-rise buildings in the distance, while hikvision C6 Pro can only shoot more than 3 high-rise buildings. The advantages of the 170° field of view of the 70 M500 are evident here.
In terms of night shooting, the 70-mile suppression of glare is more in place, which can clearly capture the license plate number of the two-lane vehicle in front and on the side. Of course, in addition to the wide-angle advantages already mentioned above, the entire light layout of the 70 M500 is slightly brighter, and you can see the red area circled above. If it is a night driving recording, the light of the picture quality is brighter, and it is relatively possible to record more details.
Finally, in the recording of this piece, the author also want to separately 70 M500 of an RS special effect to share, personally feel that the recorded picture is still quite cool, you can view the speed, altitude, direction, acceleration and deceleration, turning and other data in real time, is there a feeling of Need for Speed?
Five: installation
There is not much to say about the installation of this piece, if you are a full old driver, it is not impossible to install it yourself, and you can also press the line yourself through the crowbar brought in the accessories.
Then, the author's personal suggestion, from the safety and professional considerations, or recommend that you contact the after-sales service, anyway, the two brands provide professional after-sales service, which is completely assured.
For products such as driving recorders, although they all support mobile PHONE APP operation, the slight difference is that each brand owner will have details in the optimization of the function, which is like the same hardware configuration of the Android mobile phone, different systems are also different.
70 Mai APP
First of all, let's talk about the 70-mile APP, because there is a 4G module used this time, so after the APP is bound to the device, it can carry out remote monitoring, vehicle location viewing, electronic fence use and other functions.
Enter the main interface of the connection, the top is the real-time recording window, and the bottom includes two functions: photo album and photo. Among them, in the album, there are two major sections of timeline and classification, focusing on classification, which is divided into all videos, emergency videos, parking surveillance videos, time-lapse photographic videos and photos, which are very intuitive to find. In addition, if you want to import these recordings to the computer, you only need to connect the dashcam to the PC, and you don't need to remove the SD card like Hikvision C6 Pro.
In addition, on the APP side, you can also set other functions, such as opening AR navigation, voice control, HDR, or setting the resolution of the screen, etc., flexible function operation can be adjusted according to their actual use needs.
Hikvision Eye APP
Hikvision's APP is similar in function to 70Mai's APP, supporting remote viewing and direct device connection. However, there are differences in the process of direct connection, for example, when opening the album of the main interface, it only includes two categories: pictures and emergency, like recorded non-emergency videos can only be viewed through playback. Therefore, in the area of intelligent classification, I personally feel that the 70-mile APP should be more reasonable.
Through the above comprehensive comparison, it can be found that the overall performance of the 70 M500 and Hikvision C6 Pro are not bad. But if you want to find a difference from the details, the author thinks that these points can be referred to:
One: Because the 70M500 adopts a bracket two-in-one 4G module design, the appearance structure is much more concise than hikvision C6 Pro. In addition, the former uses built-in flash memory, the latter is an external SD card, and the stability and convenience of actually using the former are slightly better;
Two: In terms of 4G traffic gifts, the 70 M500 is 12G a year, while hikvision C6 Pro only has 3G;
Three: hardware configuration comparison, although both are 5 million pixel lenses, but the 70 M500 supports 170 ° ultra-wide angle recording, in the night low light environment, the recorded picture is relatively bright;
Fourth: APP function details, 70M500 has a clearer document classification, and also supports HDR and AR special effects functions;
In general, the price difference between the two products is not much, and the shooting performance is relatively clear, but there is a big gap in some details processing and value-added services. Therefore, when choosing, everyone can compare their own needs and choose what suits them.
