The Subini brand has chosen the right marketing strategy for itself. Most of the assortment is produced in order to fill the budget niche of the market, but there are also expensive models.
Combined Subini DVRs are especially in demand. For example, the Stonelock Aco model makes excellent recordings, both day and night. But it attracts many that she is able to recognize police radars by equipping with GPS. An equally important role in this was played by the updated database, which will warn the owner of the DVR that there is a post or a camera nearby.
The manufacturer does not stand still - it develops, improving the capabilities and quality of products. It is not surprising that the demand for his products is so high in China and the Russian Federation.
ARTWAY

In the presence of a fairly large range of useful digital products supplied to different countries. In addition, the manufacturer focuses on the design of devices, monitors the quality of production, and is not afraid to resort to modern technologies.
Many of our compatriots like the Prestigio brand. The model Prestigio RoadRunner 585 is especially popular. It is compact, affordable, equipped with a good quality of work, and shoots at the highest level at any time of the day.
But not without cons. Very often, Prestigio DVRs have a strong smell of plastic, as well as poor fastening in the car.
TOP manufacturers of DVRs from South Korea
In South Korea, digital technology has developed rapidly in recent years. More than 10 reputable companies are engaged in this area.But not all of them managed to enter the Russian market, as well as to earn a good reputation.
NEOLINE
Neoline relies on high quality and comfortable use of the video recorder by the driver. Many models are equipped with an automatic set of options that automatically record stressful situations if emergency braking or a shock was noted. It is also worth noting that there is a GPS option, cameras with a wide viewing angle.
The Neoline G-tech X23 model is especially in demand. A distinctive feature of the device is the presence of a 2-chamber design, which makes it possible to shoot video through two channels at the same time. Each camera is mounted on the rear and windshield.
The quality of shooting is highly appreciated by users. The reviews say that the DVRs of the South Korean brand are available, and they are equipped with a very convenient mount. But even this position was not without its drawback. The thing is that the quality of the video at night is not the best, and the menu should be improved. It was also noted that the camera, which is installed on the rear window, shoots worse than the one on the windshield.
IROAD
The IROAD brand, according to analysts, in 2009 became the leader in the sale of video recorders all over the world. The main goal of the manufacturer is to create modern and advanced devices that match innovative technologies and stylish designs.

The X9 and Q9 models have the ability to connect external cameras, as well as the LDWS, FCWS functions. Also the Q9 can use an external GPS sensor. Please note that these models are not equipped with a screen, but it is possible to wirelessly transfer data to a tablet or smartphone.
For the production of auto gadgets, the brand uses exclusively proven materials, which are complemented by an internal composition thought out to the smallest detail. It is no surprise that IROAD has a leading position in the market.

Users from Russia speak of the price-quality ratio of DVRs exclusively from the positive side. It was also noted that the gadgets are very compact, and therefore they remain invisible in the car, without spoiling the overall interior picture. But keep in mind that very often the devices overload on their own, freezes and problems with recording video to a memory card also occur.

The Sho-Me company specializes in the production of excellent quality DVRs. Only those devices that have managed to pass a rigorous selection are released to the market. Numerous tests of devices were able to confirm the compliance of the products with the requirements of international standards.

Our motorists note that the build quality of South Korean DVRs is at the highest level, the video is shot clearly, and it is quite simple to operate the device.There is also a large optional, which is a nice addition.
Sho-Me DVRs show no less well when setting up and mounting in a car interior. But I would like a bigger power cord, and gadgets are very picky about memory cards.
BLACKVUE
BlackVue DVRs are usually referred to the premium segment of products. Such devices differ in functionality. Gadgets are also sold at an affordable price. It is not surprising that when such good characteristics are combined, they have become in demand in the USA, China, France, as well as the Russian Federation and other countries of the world.

The only drawback is that the high price does not allow everyone to acquire such a device.

MIO
The Taiwanese developers of DVRs have focused on the ease of use of their devices. Not all modern drivers are adept at handling PCs and smartphones.
