Inexpensive version of the DVR with two cameras. For 2022, this is the newest model from the manufacturer in this price category. True, the low price is justified not by the top-end characteristics.

8. TrendVision Winner 2CH

The device from the category of “nothing more”. Compact and magnetically attached. The viewing angle of the rear camera is only 90 degrees. Enough for parking.

That is, as a safety device during maneuvers, everything is fine, but as a way to protect yourself, it is not the best option. But the front shoots quite wide – 150 degrees and already writes in Full HD. Plus, a slight contrast boost is applied to make the image clearer on an overcast day. The function is called WDR. It’s nice that the manufacturer worked on the form factor and neatly fit the display into the case without too large edges.
