Mount Options
Some of the best and most commonly used ways to mount a recorder include the following:
Using a suction cup
The suction cup as a fastener holds the DVR on a vertical plane due to the pressure difference. When the silicone circle of the suction cup spreads out on the surface, a lower pressure than atmospheric pressure is formed inside it.
Reliability of fastening with a suction cup can only be guaranteed if the material is completely tight. If even the most microscopic hole is present in silicone or rubber, the hardware will not work. Often suckers begin to fall off in the cold or after prolonged use. Avoid this situation will allow the choice of a different method of installation of equipment.
On a special sticker
The sticker for the DVR is a double-sided tape. TOIt is recommended to repeat it on the windshield so that the device does not reduce the viewing angle. The best option for placing the device is behind the rear-view mirror.
This option has the following advantages:
- good fixation;
- minimum financial costs;
- ergonomics;
- the ability to choose a place for fasteners;
- long service life.
There is only one minus of mounting on the sticker - if necessary, the DVR can not be easily removed and taken with you.
To the torpedo
Some modifications of the device are mounted directly on the dashboard on the car dashboard. This option is particularly reliable, since the adhesion of adhesive tape with plastic is much higher than with glass. As a rule, a torpedo for installation is included with the device.
In this case, the DVR is in sight and may catch the eye of potential attackers. But you can avoid this by removing the device from the fasteners and taking it out of the car. Mounting will not be broken. Of the minuses of mounting on a dashboard, it is necessary to note a small viewing angle.
What to consider when placing
When placing the DVR, special attention must be paid to the location of the device. The device should not greatly impair visibility or distract the driver.
Equally important is the availability of airbags. In no case should the registrar fall into their coverage area. Otherwise, the pillows can cause serious injury.
Connection and setup
Most often, the DVR is connected to the cigarette lighter. To do this, just insert the plug into a special connector. But often he finds himself busy with phone charging, a navigator, or other gadgets.
In this case, the equipment is most often connected to a radio, the power of which is 5 volts. It’s not even necessary to use an adapter or adapter. All that the car owner needs is to securely fix the DVR in a constant place and power it with the orange cable that leads to the radio and is under the dashboard.
The setup of the recorder is reduced to inserting a memory card (required when the device is turned off) and starting the device. Additionally, parameters such as recording mode, video quality, backlight on time and white balance are selected.
In case of difficulties, you can always take the help of a specialist.
