DVRs like the Mystery MDR-650 are an integral part of any car. They are designed to capture everything that happens on the road. You will learn about the functionality of this model from the article.
Gadget culture
Due to the development of technological progress, major cities are daily overloaded with car flows. Unfortunately, roads, highways and interchanges are not being built as fast as the number of car owners is growing.
This leads to a transport collapse in large cities, and complex hours of traffic jams are not the worst result of such an industrial process. The likelihood of an accident increases significantly. And it becomes more and more difficult for the driver to prove his case and punish the culprit. Especially if the latter fled the scene.
It was in such conditions that the culture of mass video surveillance was born. It is difficult to imagine in modern Russia a motorist, a resident of a large city, without an auto-registrar like the Mystery MDR-650 or some other. Using such devices has become as natural as washing andbrush your teeth.

Negative reviews
No matter how good the model is, it also has its drawbacks. Unfortunately, there are more negative reviews about the Mystery MDR-650 than positive ones. For example, many report that the device stops functioning after a few hours of use, freezes and turns off.
Many complain about the poor quality of the video, which is contrary to the positive feedback about it. It is noted that when turned on, it loads the air of the radio receiver with interference. The suction cup is not reliable, so you have to put up with the fact that the gadget periodically falls off the windshield.
Regarding whether license plates are visible, it is noted that they can only be seen in daylight at close range in pause mode. At night, only glare will be visible. It is noted that the interval between entries is not at all 3 seconds, as stated in the product description, but all 10.
Pricing policy
The cost is low: from 2000 to 3000 rubles. In principle, the Mystery MDR-650 is worth its money - an inexpensive, unpretentious device with a limited set of functions and capabilities.
Result
Summarizing, it should be said that the gadget is not so good. It is better to add some money and buy a model that has proven itself onvideo gadget market. In addition, such an interval between video recording is fraught with the fact that the details of the accident may not be filmed.
To avoid such incidents, it is recommended to purchase a model with a built-in shock sensor. Another name is G-sensor. The module automatically starts recording when there is a sharp increase in pressure on the car. The file is moved to a write-protected directory. The function records the time before the occurrence of a traffic accident and after (configurable in the options). Thus, the attacker will not go unpunished, because information about him will be recorded on the camera.
In addition, useful features are: anti-radar, GPS-navigator and sleep alert function. The latter is not particularly relevant in the city, more often used by truckers over long distances.
When choosing a product, it is recommended to pay attention to the presence of WDR technology. Thanks to this, the quality of shooting in the dark is improved. With a lack of light, dark corners are illuminated, and bright ones are slightly shaded. As a result, when moving during the day, the image does not become “overexposed” if a ray of the sun hits the lens, and at night it does not turn out too dark. Car numbers are becoming quite legible.
However, such models are much more expensive, but such expenses will be entirely justified. Although you will have to spend a lot of money on a reliable gadget, it will be more useful than a cheap sample that will not last very long andwill quietly remain somewhere in a trash can or be sold from hand for half the price to an unlucky motorist. So think twice before buying a DVR in your car.
