Pros : Navigation and driving alerts, video recording day and night
Cons : Average video quality, short-duration battery
Bottomline : DrivePro 220 is a good device to capture videos and get various alters while driving as well as navigate the best route. However, the battery life is only 20 minutes and the video quality is average. Still, it could be beneficial to store your memory or create an evidence of any incident.
Whether you are a frequent traveler or venture out of your place only occasionally, you would naturally like to save the details of your road trip that you can easily miss. Transcend has come to the help of travelers and has introduced its DrivePro 220 car video recorder, which can easily record your road trips. It’s not only a recorder as like you may have seen in the market, it has more to offer.
Record Day and Night
Transcend’s DrivePro 220 has a ƒ/1.8 aperture high-quality camera lens to record various scenes. It can automatically adjust to different lighting conditions to capture the details of an incident, including license plates, during either daytime or nighttime. The wide 130° viewing angle enables to capture full HD 1080p videos of a wide area at 30fps.
It comes with a built-in battery that lets you capture videos or images even when the car is parked and no power is available, meaning emergency recording anytime anywhere. It has 2.4-inch LCD screen that lets you navigate the features of the device.
Roadside Assistance/Alerts
The device has various useful features including GPS receiver, Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS), Speed Alarm and Parking Mode, the DrivePro 220 offers the optimum driving safety.
Using the GPS you can navigate the best possible route to your destination. In case of an untoward incident, the GPS coordinates can help you precisely locate where you are, so as to contact the Emergency Road Service, police or insurance company.
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) helps you to prevent potential incidents by warning the driver when the vehicle begins to move out of its lane. It monitors the lane markings and shows an alert picture as well as a warning sound whenever the driving speed exceeds. Another useful feature, Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS) that warns the driver when the vehicle gets too close to the car ahead.
It comes with motion detection technology, enabling DrivePro 220 to automatically start recording when the sensor detects a movement in Parking Mode.
Mobility
The device has built-in Wi-Fi and free app is also available on both iOS and Android platforms. The connectivity allows the passenger to track the driver, view live video footage, playback and download videos, and easily adjust DrivePro 220 settings directly from your smartphone or tablet.
DrivePro comes with 16 GB MLC-based microSD card that can record up to 6,000 hours of Full HD video recording.
Performance
While using the device, we recorded several videos and clicked images during the recording. The full HD videos look good when you play them on the device, but overall video quality is average. The overall experience of features like LDWS and FCWS was satisfactory as sometimes it wasn’t able to alert while over speeding or changing the lane frequently. Navigation was good and it was able to direct for our journey. The inbuilt battery was able to work for only 20 minutes.
