Overview flagship DVR MIO MiVue 588
It is no secret that "Habrahabr" and "Giktayms" many love for what users have the opportunity to communicate directly with many companies: to ask questions and get answers, "first-hand". That company Mio is ripe to engage in a corporate blog: we will try to write about technology and products.
Getting to know you have decided to start with a review of our flagship DVR Mio MiVue 588 - probably many of you have a car, and the benefits of DVR in it to convince someone recently is no longer necessary. If you already have such a device in the car, it is still welcome under the cut - at least in order to compare the quality of the recording.
So, Mio MiVue 588, the top model in the line of DVRs - from low-end models differ primarily better optics (and CMOS-sensor from Sony), touch screen and the presence of GPS-receiver, entrusted with the execution of several functions. Let's look at the full list of specifications:
Display: 2.5 ", LCD touch screen
The Matrix / resolution: CMOS-sensor Sony Exmor, FullHD 1920x1080
Angle: 130 °
Recording format: MOV (H.264)
Ports and connectors: power jack / USB / HD-output
Memory: microSD, up to 32GB
GPS: has
Sensor G-shock: has
Motion Detection Sensor: has
Activate recording: automatically, manually, by shock sensor, motion sensor for
Shooting: is (with the ability to take photos while recording video)
Audio recording: has
LED indication: LED power / recording indicator
Power: Car Adapter (effective power 5V / 1A)
Battery: has
Operating temperature: -10 to +60 ° C
Operating Humidity: 5% - 85%
Dimensions: 65x63x36, 5 mm
Weight: 97, 8 g
Options
DVR is sold in a small cardboard box inside which has everything you need for working with the unit (except for the memory card). Namely, he DVR, Case (for carrying and careful storage gadget); suction cup for fixing on glass and adapter for power supply of the vehicle. Still there is instruction in Russian and CD-ROM with software (which can also be downloaded from the network).
Appearance
The device is made in the traditional style by Mio: dark plastic with orange accents. But as usual for the flagship models, everything at the highest level: the quality of plastic (or rather, several kinds), and build quality. All the reviews online and user feedback, we've never met the information that someone cut himself on the sharp edges of the device, pinch your finger in the gap or put a splinter :)
When the camera is mounted in the vehicle, the driver sees only display - color 2.5-inch touchscreen display. It displays the most useful and least unnecessary information, but more on that later. The status LED can be turned off in the settings.
On the front side (which looks at the way) most notably, of course, the camera lens. He sticks out from the body, are the internal design features. In the upper part of about the same amount of fastening area protrudes, whereby the device does not appear asymmetrical.
The optical system used 6 glass lens (aperture - 1.8) and CMOS-sensor Exmor on by Sony, as in the most advanced DVR. Coupled with a fairly powerful processor, the device is able to record "honest» FullHD-video (1920x1080), the viewing angle is 130 degrees. A backlight is not, but it is not needed here.
Along the perimeter of the device are functional elements:
From left: the power button and a slot for the card format microSDHC
Right: connectors HD-Out (miniHDMI) and miniUSB (to power and connect to your computer)
In the upper part: groove with the bracket and the serial number sticker
Bottom: a microphone and two rubber plugs.
The device has GPS-prёmnik, which in addition to the application of the origin of motion (and speed) on record, transmits information to the speaker (from the built-in database) about dangerous objects such as cameras DPS. That is in addition to the basic function (recording of road conditions) this device performs more and the role of radar detector. Many are similar to "food processor" with some suspicion, but in the case of 588 Mio MiVue you can not worry: this is not the device, where a radar detector component stuck the camera and it is not clear that how it works and whether. It is - it is the registrar, who will take all the warnings from the GPS-base (last updated April 6), as it employs many radar detectors. As far as this option is good - everyone decides for himself, but here it is just as enjoyable and rewarding option. And unlike many radar detectors is no display in the Mio MiVue 588 it is possible to configure different modes of messaging (voice or sound signal, the speed limit or speed is exceeded), etc.
With regard to the external power adapter type and fastening, then there is nothing special, but at the same time as they are made to last. Fixing the most compact, with no extra moving parts that can add vibration to the recording - only the very sucker bracket and swivel head (with a reliable locking), by which the DVR can be aligned as you like, if not turn to shoot the side window or even salon (swivel mount allows you to deploy the device 360 degrees).
At the end of the attachment is a guide with rubber insert that fits into a slot on the DVR - due to friction and the careful fitting parts fixation obtained very reliable, but at the same time remains comfortable for everyday use.
The adapter is quite big, but its reliability can not survive. Wire length at the end of a L-shaped plug (miniUSB) - if you want, you can use any other wire, the benefit of a universal interface allows it.
Settings
Despite the modest size of the device, it Another Teen number of possible settings. They are all laid out on a convenient menu, and touch screen allows quick and easy access to any point in just a couple of clicks.
The menu is a hierarchical structure, where each object has a large menu icon (on which on the go is easier to identify the item you want) and signature. In this case, all the setting items are sorted by frequency of use - all "unnecessary" will not show up in everyday use.
The main menu of 4 sections: File Browser, parking mode, recording sound and setting.
In the settings you have 6 points:
- Base Camera: setting alerts chambers (voice or sound), setting the distance and overspeed warnings and user objects
- Parking Mode: setting the sensitivity of the motion sensor and G-sensor, as well as recording when triggered
- Video recording: fragment length record (1/3/5 minutes) exposure level, HDR-mode, and the imposition of GPS-coordinates
- The sensitivity of the acceleration sensor: sensitivity setting (6 levels) for traffic and parking mode
- System: language, measurement units, time, sounds during operation, the volume of sounds, display modes and other system stuff.
- Format the memory card. B>
During normal operation, the device displays a minimum of information to the driver at the speed did not have to look into unnecessary details. Button is available to create pictures (yes, right at the time of writing), the button to enter the menu button to add the camera (the database objects) in the current location.
The recording quality
Almost any DVR has the function of photography and Mio 588 is no exception. But this function is not a core - more importantly, the device removes the traffic situation in motion. And here we have a case :)
All the activities of the unit can be divided into two parts: day and night shooting. We could describe in words how we feel the quality of the recording ... but you say that "he praises - no praise" :) So we offer you self-evaluate everything. What we recommend to pay attention when watching:
- On the colors
- On overexposure (from the headlights, lights and sun) and shadow
- On the amount of noise (especially at night)
- Well angles recording and geometry distortion at the edges of the frame
- The fact that "sees" the DVR when there is insufficient ambient light
- On the readability of rooms free car (counter at a speed exceeding 30 km / h are rarely read elsewhere)
- The quality of the sound recording
Watch and judge for yourself (video recorded entirely in the default settings, look in FullHD):
For working with files of the DVR (video yourself and other system information, such as three-axis readings G-sensor and GPS-log coordinate movement in motion) is proposed cross-platform (Windows / OS X) application MiVue Manager .
It should be noted that 2 minutes recording in the highest quality occupy approximately 200 MB of space (in the format MOV), so storage "archive" trips you have to buy quite a volumetric memory card (microSD to 32GB, Class 10 is from 1000 rubles).
The cost of the device in the online stores range from 9 to 13 thousand rubles (depending on the appetites of the store).
Thank you!
