In my haste to replace my 'faulty' GT700/K100 mirror DVR, I ordered this V7 from a Chinese website. It promptly arrived 1 week later (see pic 1). By then, I found that the GT700 was ok and the fault was due to the memory card.
Anyway, since it's here, I might as well do a review. Part of me was hoping it is a better model for me because it has a camera positioned at the bottom, instead of at the side (see pic 2). This will mean that it will not capture the dark strip of anti-glare across the top of my windscreen.
Box contents are shown in pic 3, with a cigarette lighter power extension cable, a secondary camera, an extension cable for the secondary camera, and 2 rubber bands to secure the DVR on the mirror.
To my surprise, it came with a secondary rear camera (see pic 4). However, resolution is unknown as I did not test it.
Some closed up pics of the main camera are shown in pics 5 - 7.
Power is through the usual mini USB cable, with the port on top, along with AV-in for the rear camera (see pic 8).
Overall, the construction is of acceptable quality, similar to GT700/K100.
~ end part 1 ~
~ afternote: this is the description for the 2-channel model. I will call this the V7-2. There is a 1-channel model, which I will later review and call it the V7-1.
~ attach a sample link of a short video from this model: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1ntBM86d. Or in this youtube video (pls select 1080p resolution):
.
I find the video quality of this model to be sub-par. Hope the 1-channel model fares better!
