Choosing the Best Video Recorder: Viofo vs Dod-Tech, for Day, Night & Weather Conditions (90 chars)

Hello
I need help choosing a video recorder. There are tons of topics and opinions about it everywhere, and each opinion is a different proposition. Generally, the recorder is only supposed to record, I don't need any goodies. But the quality of the recording should be very good, no matter if it is sun, rain or an unlit road at night. That in such conditions the recording would be legible and it would be possible to read the numbers from the license plate. After browsing through many entries, I initially take into account such manufacturers (I count on you for specific models), unless you suggest something else:
- Viofo,
- Dod-Tech.

I don't know what your budget is, but consider the MIO MiVue series.

If you care about recording in all conditions and with different and changing lighting, the recorder should have WDR mode. It works better than the IR LEDs that illuminate only at night. I would add Mikavi to this list, for example PQ3 https://www.wideore regatory24.pl/kamera-samochodowa-mikavi-pq3-gps-4k, or PQ1.

LED diodes in car cameras are a strange thing.

When it comes to the budget, I think around PLN 500. The rear camera is unnecessary because I can't see the power being pulled to it.
And so, first of all, I care about recording in all conditions and with various changing lighting.

Well that's PQ1. But before buying, watch the videos both on YT and without compression on the websites of producers or video recorders24. Also see beyond WDR what is fps and recording angle. The more such a webcam is able to catch, the better.

But how I look at it is PQ1

there is no WDR, only in the description of PQ3 it says about it

Do I get it wrong?

And also the PQ2 model

What does it look like in terms of parameters, because I do not know anything about it, and I liked this webcam, which additionally records the interior of the car?

MIO is crap. I have had mio 608 for a year. The quality of the recordings is not worth the price. Two memory card slots where the second is not useful. Twice guaranteed. Breakdown of memory hopeless. I turn off the car, fire up - the time will be deleted and you have to set it up every time. From the news, the battery lasted 10 minutes. After a year, a few seconds

Because in Mikavi PQ1 there is HDR - High Dynamic Range, i.e. a large dynamic range, and WDR is an extended dynamic range. The principle of operation is very similar. If you have strong sunlight or headlights of an approaching car, this effect will be minimized. You can see the differences, for example, here https://www.wideoreawodatory24.pl/kamera-samochodowa-mikavi-pq3-gps-4k. The movies are included without compression. In PQ2 you already have WDR. The parameters are very similar, the equipment is on good components. This is distinguished by dual - interior recording, which of course you can turn off. Generally, each of these devices is quite good. If you compare the specification, a lot of things overlap. But most importantly, the image will be good on any of these cameras.

Ok thanks for the detailed answer

Hello.
I can recommend the Viofo WR-1 webcam, I have been using it for several months, it is doing very well.

And what did you choose ??
I recently bought a Viofo A129 in dual

Madret- did you decide on something? If I had to choose, my choice would be mikavi pq3, it has great parameters. Full HD recording, wifi and an additional rear view camera. On yt you can find recordings made with this webcam.

Years later I was reminded of the subject
Ultimately, the purchase was the 70mai A800S 4K.
However, for the second car I am going to buy the Viofo A129 PLUS DUO to have a comparison.

I recommend. I have had the Viofo A119 V3 for almost a year now and I am very satisfied. Good image quality, detail, stability.
The camera has a very important function: signaling the failure of the memory card.
For this super-capacitor and I don't need anything else for happiness.
