Final conclusion

Day quality is superb for 1080p. Dynamic range is perfect as it should be for IMX322.
Night quality is surprisingly low and compatible with very poor night recorder rival OmniVision OV4689 on a TrendVision TDR-718GP.
The worse thing that there is no hope for firmware modifications from noname korean vendor.

But finally not so bad for 70$.

And video review version for Russian spoken again

 

[Falsificator]

OV4689 is configured incorrectly. Greatly reduced the contrast and exposure.
Because the result of the test can be considered wrong...
