Top 9 best low cost DVRs in 2022 according to KP

1. NAVITEL R600

An interesting feature of this inexpensive DVR was implemented by engineers. It would seem that in 2022 everyone can do this, but for some reason, when preparing the rating of the best, we did not meet such an option in others. The device has two batteries. One in the device itself, and the second in the mount. In general, the batteries in this type of technology are quite weak. After a couple of years of operation, they wear out so much that they only work when connected to the network. And if the contact is lost, the camera turns off. Here you can be sure that this problem will not bother you much longer. Despite the pleasant price, the optics here have a decent viewing angle of 170 degrees. As a result, this slightly stretches the picture, the “fisheye” effect appears, so details on the periphery may be lost. The manufacturer offers proprietary software that allows you to not only download and watch videos, but also trim them. The interface is simple, a PC user with basic skills should intuitively figure it out.

8. AdvoCam FD8 Red-II

We will consider this participant of our rating conditionally inexpensive. Since in 2022, due to the exchange rate and other market perturbations, most worthy devices start from 8-10 thousand. First of all, we note the high resolution, which claims to be 2,5K. This is great, only the files will be heavier. You can also choose a mediocre HD, but raise the frame rate to 60. In general, in daytime driving conditions this is normal, but at night in this mode the quality will not be very good. Another interesting feature is called “timelapse”. It shoots one frame per second – essentially a photo. The picture jumps a little, but on a long journey along the highway, the innovation can be useful. A nice feature of the model is the equipment with a GLONASS + GPS hybrid module. The coordinates of road cameras are loaded into the base of the device, so if you update the firmware more often, it will fit perfectly as a radar detector.

9. Street Storm CVR-N8410-G

Decent video recorder of the average price range. From the point of view of optics, everything is as it should be. But the resolution of the sensor could be more. The manufacturer offers us only 2.1 MP. For those who are not strong, let’s decipher: it’s better to have 4-5 megapixels. Although shooting a video is not as tightly tied to this parameter as a photo. But there is a function of continuous recording. As you know, registrars write in separate files for several minutes. This is necessary so that in case of full memory, start overwriting without losing valuable information. There may be 2-5 seconds between switching from one file to another. But on the road it can be critical. With this device, the problem is leveled: everything is written without loss of time. We also note the blocking of a specific file, the Russified menu and the swivel mount.
