The camera comes in a relatively small package; a suction cup, the right charging cable, a cigarette lighter adapter to USB, a special tripod mount and a carrying strap form a complete equipment.
The camera itself is slightly larger than a matchbox and can be pushed by means of practical stand adapter on top of the side in the suction cup without a tripod thread must be screwed. Such has the camera, however, on its underside to screw them as action or surveillance camera on standard fasteners.
The strap also fits in the mounting rail on top of the camera, so they must not stay alone in the car (and is in danger of being stolen) because the strap leaves you if necessary hanging around his neck.
The USB cigarette lighter adapter also allows the charging of other equipment and provides 0.7A which is enough for a smartphone.
The connecting cable is long enough to make it invisible to lay behind paneling and rubber seals and the connection between the camera and cigarette manufacture without the cable interfere in sight. The internal battery lasts also never more than 60 minutes, and even this information is accessible only by switching off WiFi and display.
The actual camera sees through their design of very sophisticated and high quality and also makes also a robust impression.
Furnishings:
To use the camera, you need the right app. This is already therefore irreplaceable because the camera itself is only the most necessary adjustments can be made. There can indeed be the recordings and evaluate to a TV, the camera can be connected with an HDMI cable. Also allows the Mini-SD card read on a PC and edit if necessary, the video files if this should be necessary.
To make or change the basic settings of the camera, however, the app must be used and the camera is in mode "Local" are addressed absolutely.
For this, the smartphone must be paired with the wireless camera. It is advisable to assign a password when you first configure, because the WLAN is initially unsecured.
After that, the full range of functions can be used; it can be the sensitivity of the G sensor (for hopefully never occurring collisions), the motion (the camera records as soon as a movement takes place), whether a sound recording is done, the time after which the screen of the camera turns off, etc. Set.
The live transmission via WLAN is only minimal time delay and the range is in the open field up to 50 meters.
Still images and video recordings can be stored on the smartphone; also can be stored on the SD card in the camera Play video files on the phone.
The memory of the SD card can be divided for car or Action Camera mode depending on the application with the slider. In Auto mode, three-minute video to be recorded when the SD card is full it overwrites the oldest files again (loop mode). Unless they have been marked by pressing a button on the camera as an emergency room, then be before the last 30 seconds and stored the next 30 seconds after you press the emergency button and no longer be overwritten.
About the app settings for use must be made as a cloud camera; This requires the connection data of the router to which the camera is to be operated and the model number of the camera as well as an email address to be entered for identification.
Connecting can query the camera via a mobile data connection or another WLAN. Here, the quality of the transmission varies slightly, probably depends on the utilization of these servers, which forward the imagery.
All these features make the Rollei Car DVR-200 into a real all-rounder because it offers many functions in one unit and are located in any activity open to attack. Sometimes the connection takes a moment, but serious mistakes I had previously not during operation.
Only time and date were already adjusted at me. It is then sufficient, however, to connect the camera to the phone and the current time to take over. How many of the extensive functions can be on the camera itself, but this also does not adjust.
And if all else fails, the Rollei Car DVR-200 can move back to their default settings. Either via app or on the camera itself.
Private:
In the car is connected to the cigarette lighter, the camera makes virtually all of its own. If the ignition is switched on, it takes on, when switching off it will stop recording.
As Action camera they already suggests its own because of its handy format quite well, they fit on commercially available tripod mounts and stands at your fingertips the feats of daring athlete.
For monitoring - where it is permitted, namely on the property or within one's own four walls - it provides valuable services. The motion leaves no intruder undetected and via live view over the wireless network, you are always up to date.
By connecting to a server that works even over long distances unless concerns privacy protection policies are available.
Picture:
The HD picture is good; Number plates can be during the day very well, night logically recognize only in the spotlight because a night vision function does not have the Rollei Car DVR-200. A pure video camera makes certainly better shots, but for their intended use, the camera is beyond doubt.
The colors, however, are perhaps a little too strong fall quite still in order.
Rapid movements lead to slight streaks in the image (eg the wiper), otherwise there is the image quality is absolutely nothing to complain about.
Conclusion:
Those looking for a single camera for all listed tasks can access safely at the Rollei Car DVR-200 and save several different devices.
