Modern car is not just a means of transportation. Innovative technology has advanced so far that now cars are equipped not only with a radio, radio or DVD player. Manufacturers strive to equip the car to the maximum: a GPS navigator, a DVR, a radar detector … In a word, in a modern car there are a thousand and one little things that will make driving comfortable and the trip comfortable.
Multifunctional rear view mirrors
Today you will not surprise anyone with a mirror with a camera and a monitor. Especially often, manufacturers build all sorts of “gadgets” into rear-view mirrors. The entire area that the camera covers is broadcast on a special monitor (most often liquid crystal monitors with a touch panel are used). Often, both navigators and DVRs are built into rear-view mirrors. There are also models in which several useful devices are built in at once.
Of course, such universal mirrors are not cheap. Sometimes only one DVR per mirrorrear view can cost the same amount as a budget version of a multifunctional mirror. Therefore, it should be remembered that buying one mirror with many functions will in any case be cheaper than buying several devices separately.
Rearview mirror with DVR. What's the use?
The DVR built into the rear mirror captures everything that happens around the car on video. Like a regular DVR, such a device can help in controversial emergencies. Some models of such mirrors can work even when the car is not running. Video recording with the ignition off will not be too long - about an hour and a half. However, this will still give you a guarantee of the safety of the machine. So these advanced rear-view mirrors will not only make driving more comfortable, but also take care of your safety.
Mirrors with a navigator and “anti-radar”
One cannot say that a GPS navigator is an indispensable thing in a car. However, this useful device often helps a lot, for example, when traveling to an unfamiliar city. Therefore, more and more manufacturers are embedding navigators directly into rear-view mirrors. As practice shows, this is very convenient.
So-called “radar detectors” or radar detectors are also quite common. Their function is to warn the driver in advance about the approaching employees of the state traffic inspectorate fromspeed-measuring radars in hand. When turned off, this “anti-radar” looks like a regular rear-view mirror, and when turned on, the estimated location of the radars is displayed on the screen. It is worth noting that sometimes such devices do not give out very accurate data, or even frankly wrong. But, nevertheless, if you like to get drunk, it is better to play it safe and get such a device for your car.
