Review: Discovery Adventures DC200 - 1296p A7 Car Dvr DashCam - White
This dashcam was sent for review.
Thank you @ieGeek.
Manufacturer's website: http://www.worldsdiscovery.com/proinfo_106_95_0.html
It's available for purchase here at Discovery's Amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/gp/B010DB4GCIand in eBay as well: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171853822021
The product box and the camera has discovery channel's logo.
I'm told that the Discovery Adventures Series has a relationship with "Discovery Channel".
******************************
Summary:
Will update after tests.
******************************
Detail Review:
This camera is based on Ambarella A7 and OV4689 sensor and can record videos at 1296p or at 2560x1080p @ 30fps so video quality must be very good looking at other dashcams using same chip/sensor.
This is my first white camera so it's not discrete at all unless you have white interior with white rear view mirror.
Those who love Apple/iPhones have to have this.
From left to right: Papago GoSafe 200, Discovery DC200 and Dome G90 7S.
Build quality is excellent and feels very solid.
Size is similar to g1wx dash cams.
Unboxing video:
The product box is so far the prettiest and also packed very good inside:
Package contents:
Here's official picture of the package contents:
Buttons and Features:
The buttons are on the sides of 2.7" LCD screen on the back.
Top has mini USB charging port, mount, GPS in (optional) and AV out ports:
Bottom has mic, speaker and reset:
Left side from back has mini HDMI out:
Right side from back has micro SD slot:
Folders and Files:
Folders are similar as in other A7 based cameras (EVENT and NORMAL) and file names have date time so easy to locate video clips.
File size and VBR:
3 minute video clip is around 400mb in size.
Bit rate is similar to other dashcams with A7.
Overall bit rate : 18.6 Mbps
Video bit rate : 18.0 Mbps
Audio Bit rate : 64.0 Kbps
Nominal bit rate : 128 Kbps
One nice thing:
This dashcam checks date time and pops up a message to set it correctly.
Current Firmware Version: DISCOVERY-DC200 20150501
The FW uses 20mb space.
Video tests to follow...
