Ranking of the best dvrs with 2 cameras in 2021

For a huge number of motorists, the appearance of the first DVRs has become a landmark and important event. Yes, they did not have wide functionality, and the quality of the recording left much to be desired.

Over time, technologies improved and improved, new developments and interesting projects appeared. Not all features have caught on. Others have become an indispensable element of the standard recorder for the car.

Now for many car owners, the priority choice is a DVR, which has 2 cameras at once. Moreover, they can be implemented in several ways, which you will learn about a little later.

You should figure out what their functions are, what types are there, and assess the severity of the shortcomings.

Plus there will be a ranking among the best dual-camera DVRs in 2021. With its help, you can quickly and easily decide on the choice of a device and install it in your car.

If you have heard rave reviews from your acquaintances or friends who have already installed the DVR, or you were simply offered it in a car dealership or workshop, but for yourself you are not completely sure whether you need it at all, we suggest considering in what situations it can help.

• Constant monitoring of the traffic situation. The fact that you will constantly shoot video while driving will help you prove your case in the event that an unusual traffic situation occurs. They can violate the rules, cut short, or commit any other illegal act against you. In this situation, video recording can be an excellent help in clarifying the correctness.
• The ability to record a conversation with a traffic police representative. Very often, corrupt workers, seeing a video camera, begin to behave according to the law. In the event of their illegal actions, it will be much easier for you to prove your case in court.
• Recording what is happening in the parking lot. It is very convenient if you need to leave the car unattended for a while. It is also an irreplaceable assistant if the car is stored in the courtyard of a multi-storey building, and not in a garage or in a guarded parking lot.

A DVR with two cameras has a number of additional advantages.

Depending on the design, it can be removed both from the front and from the back, or to the full width of the roadway. This will allow you to fix the violation when a traffic accident happens from behind or from the side.

Some models can film what is happening inside the cabin, which will greatly help taxi drivers. Unfortunately, not all passengers are adequate.

Types of construction

Now let's take a look at what are the types of construction of DVRs with two cameras. Your choice will depend on what you want to get as a result.

• Two cameras in one body. The simplest design. It is installed in almost the same way as a regular DVR. Most often, one camera lens looks forward, and the other - backward or sideways. In this case, you can shoot what is happening in front of the car, as well as from the side or inside the cabin. The last function will appeal to taxi drivers. Most DVRs with side cameras allow you to combine several images into one, thus, filming almost the entire road lane, no matter how wide the road is.
• Remote camera models. There may be models with more than two cameras. In this case, usually the first camera is installed on the windshield, and the second on the rear window. Such a video recorder allows you to see and record what is happening both in front of you and behind you. Such a model will allow you to avoid a situation when they are trying to accuse you of something, provoking a traffic accident, crashing into your ass.
• DVR-rear-view mirror. This type of design is not called a rear-view mirror because it combines two devices in one. No, you will not be able to use such a mirror as an ordinary one, that is, you cannot look into it to see what is happening behind you. DSLR cameras broadcast the image of what is happening in the back on the screen inside the cabin. The second camera is located in front of the mirror and captures what is happening in front.

Which of the listed options is the best DVR is difficult to say, since it all depends on your needs and capabilities. Now let's note the weaknesses of such devices.

The main disadvantages of models with two cameras

Despite a number of undeniable advantages, the 2-camera DVR has some disadvantages. Let's list the main ones:

• Since there are not one, but two cameras, the video footage is twice as large, and, accordingly, you need to install a larger memory card and check for free memory more often than usual.
• In the case of using a portable camera, you need to take care of its power supply. To do this, you will need to find a place for an additional power supply unit or change the batteries more often. In addition, low-cost models only allow a remote camera to be wired, so a wire must be routed throughout the cabin, often at the cost of damaging the upholstery.

Now let's move on to the next point and present to your attention a rating of the best DVRs with two cameras.

Rating of the best models in 2021

Now it's worth taking a look at the list of the best dual camera dvrs.

Here are collected the optimal devices with balanced characteristics, operational capabilities.

It's not worth chasing premium and overly expensive devices. Often, a serious overpayment is due to the presence of additional functions that the driver will not really need.

But also, there are no cheap Chinese models among the best car DVRs with two cameras. Their problem is that often these are poorly executed copies of famous brands, or their own developments, in which the declared characteristics do not correspond to reality by 50%.

As a result, models with a rational price-quality ratio, good parameters, and quite powerful technical stuffing got to the top among DVRs equipped with two cameras. Plus, all of them are officially presented on the Russian market, and therefore you won't have to order them from China or through other countries. Branded service centers of some brands can become a bonus.

Further, the rating itself, where each DVR for 2 cameras will be described in detail. It is possible that one of them will be the best choice for your car.

TrendVision Winner 2CH

Quite a well-known brand. This video recorder opens a rating, has 2 cameras at once. An option for a car where nothing superfluous is required, and a small budget is also provided.

You can buy such a device for less than 4 thousand rubles. But this is not a cheap Chinese assembly, but a solid and high-quality device. A simple solution, but with its own strengths.

The model is presented in the form of a classic rectangular body on which the main camera is located. Plus there is a portable camera that can be mounted on the rear bumper, or placed in the cabin.

The rear camera has a 90-degree viewing angle. Not much, but more than enough for parking. VGA quality, which is also not the highest level. But there are definitely no questions to the front camera of the DVR. It is a 150-degree wide-angle device with the ability to shoot in FullHD quality. There is also a WDR function.With its help, the image becomes clearer and more contrasting in different weather conditions.

The form factor of the device will be a nice bonus. The display fits neatly into the body. There are no big edges, and the control menu is very convenient.

The viewing angle is 150 degrees. The image is displayed on the built-in display with a diagonal of 3 inches. Not much, but enough for many drivers. The camera shoots with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. But this is fully visible when viewing the recordings through a smartphone, tablet or computer. The microphone and the built-in battery were also not forgotten.

A worthy candidate to open the top 10. But still, objectively, this is not the best car recorder with 2 cameras in this collection.

Viper FHD 650

The development of the Viper company continues the rating of the 2021 model among DVRs with two cameras. The device is equipped with a function that automatically activates the recorder when the driver turns the key in the ignition. And if you turn on the reverse gear, then the image from the installed second camera is displayed on the screen. The video image is complemented by parking markings. A good option for those with vision problems. It has a large screen despite its slim body.

The main camera itself records in FullHD format. This is achieved through a 6-lens glass matrix. This point is important, since most models have plastic lenses, and they have a higher haze. In this regard, glass has a higher priority and is objectively better.

When watching a video, the current date, time, vehicle number will be displayed in the picture. The screen turns off if necessary. This is done mainly at night so that the display glow does not distract from driving.

The device received a 4-inch display with a recording at a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The main camera has a viewing angle of 170 degrees. There is a shock sensor and the ability to work from a built-in battery. Also, the manufacturer has not forgotten about the integrated microphone.

Navitel MR 250 NV

And this is a different form factor. It is realized in the form of a rear-view mirror, which has an auxiliary recording device.

A few years ago, reflecting on what are the best DVRs in Russia, and even with two cameras, hardly anyone would have named the Navitel brand. The company used to specialize in the production of car navigators and road maps.

But the manufacturer managed to gain trust, create a positive status and a high rating. As a result, the company switched to the production of a different type of automotive electronics and gadgets.

While the range includes recorders with a pair of cameras only in the form of a rear-view mirror. But here is the largest display among competitors. It has a diagonal of 5 inches and a decent viewing angle.

A useful function is provided. The device reacts to situations when the car brakes sharply, suddenly accelerates, or gets hit. Recordings at these moments are automatically saved in a separate folder, and cyclic overwriting does not erase them. This can only be done by the user himself.

For motorists, proprietary software has been provided. With it, you can cut video, combine videos from two cameras, combining them into a single recording.

There is only one drawback. And even then it is conditional, since it is associated with a limited choice of device color. This mirror is available exclusively in silver, not every car will fit.

But here you can count on a 5-inch screen, a camera with a recording of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a viewing angle of 160 degrees. There is also a photography mode, an integrated microphone, a shock sensor and a self-contained battery. Due to the battery, the device can continue to record if the main power supply has been disconnected.

The price is also nice. About 5 thousand rubles for a standard version.

ShoMe FHD 825

Forming a rating of the best and choosing a worthy DVR equipped with two cameras, this inexpensive model from a well-known manufacturer attracted attention. Not the best characteristics, but extremely compact dimensions and the possibility of hidden installation. And the cost is generally incredibly low. You can buy such a video recorder for less than 2 thousand rubles.

Now it is the most affordable model in the manufacturer's lineup, as well as the latest development among budget DVRs.

Considering the cost, you should not count on outstanding technical characteristics. The 1.5-inch screen is square. You should not count on a wide viewing angle.

Videos are recorded in HD format. Not so scary for most situations, although there may be a lack of clarity in the dark.

But you can record videos from 1 to 5 minutes long. There is a powerful built-in 1500 mAh battery.

Now, specifically for the characteristics:

• the viewing angle is 120 degrees;
• the exact size of the display is 1.54 inches;
• video is recorded in a resolution of 1280x720 pixels;
• there is a photography mode;
• there is a built-in microphone;
• good rechargeable battery;
• shock sensor.

The result is an inexpensive but solid device. Not everyone and not always needs Full HD format, a huge display and other features of expensive models. Having spent a minimum of money, you get a solid, efficient DVR. Moreover, its second camera is so compact that when placed in the cabin it will hardly be possible to notice it, but for the same taxi services this is a useful thing.

Artway MD175

Think about which car DVRs will be better specifically for your situation, if you need a device with two cameras and certain functionality. What device you should definitely pay attention to is the Artway MD175.

It is not necessary to buy, but at least you need to get acquainted with its capabilities. It is positioned as an 11-in-1 device, and the manufacturer managed to competently combine such a number of functions.

The DVR is presented in the form factor of a rear-view mirror and has one external camera in the kit. The main camera is located on the body of the mirror itself and is directed forward towards the road.

But the most important thing here is different. The device runs on the Android mobile operating system, which turns the mirror into a full-fledged on-board computer. Something like a tablet that looks like a mirror.

It is worth highlighting several main characteristics and operational capabilities:

• video recording is carried out in FullHD format;
• viewing angle 170 degrees;
• a bright IPS display is integrated into the mirror;
• screen diagonal 7 inches;
• there is a proprietary night mode with an image enhancement function;
• built-in GPS module with notifications about radars and cameras;
• the device is built on a 4-core processor;
• you can install applications through the Play Market;
• the user can watch movies and online broadcasts;
• there is a function of synchronization with other Android devices (tablets, smartphones);
• there is a Wi-Fi module;
• 4G SIM card slot available.

If you turn on the reverse gear, then the image from the second rear camera is automatically displayed on the screen. To do this, it is enough to connect the contacts with the reversing light. In addition to the video image, the screen displays positioning lines for safe parking. The manufacturer did not forget about the satellite navigation system.

It is difficult to single out what would not be in this DVR mirror. It is problematic to name any serious shortcomings. Yes, there are many functions, but each of them is implemented at a decent level.

The price can be considered a conditional disadvantage, but in reality there is not much to pay from 11 thousand rubles for such a multifunctional device. Here everyone will decide for himself, taking into account his own financial capabilities and priorities.

Artway AV398 GPS Dual

The price of this device is more modest and starts at 4.5 thousand rubles in the Russian market. At the same time, the DVR is weightless. An incredibly light device weighing just over 50 grams.This did not stop us from putting a solid 2 Megapixel sensor for recording in Full HD format together with the WDR function.

In addition to the standard set of functions, this recorder in a square case with a display and an additional external camera also has a GPS module. With its help, you can monitor the speed, distance traveled, coordinates, etc. All information is automatically superimposed on the video.

The second camera is housed in a waterproof case. At the same time, it can be installed in the passenger compartment, or under the license plate for parking assistance and on the rear window to monitor what is happening from all sides of the car.

The screen on the body of the DVR is small, only 2 inches. But the viewing angle of the camera is 170 degrees. It can work for some time from its own battery, but it is powered by the on-board network.

Inspetror Viva

The most recent device that appeared in 2021. It looks very nice, in a neat case with a not very bright design, so as not to attract prying eyes. It looks solid and expensive, but the price of 8 thousand rubles corresponds to this.

The main camera records in 4K, and the secondary camera in FullHD. It is already clear what the 8 thousand will be spent on. With simultaneous recording from two cameras, both pictures will be FullHD.

A display with an IPS matrix is ​​installed on the body of the DVR. Moreover, the screen is touch-sensitive, with touch sensors that work no worse than on modern smartphones and tablets. There is support for Wi-Fi connection. Here you just need to install a free application.

The kit does not come with the longest wire for connecting the rear camera. Therefore, this length may not be sufficient for installation on some large vehicles.

In addition to video shooting with an angle of 135 degrees, the camera can also take pictures.

Artway MD165

A combo device that combines a DVR, as well as a radar detector, GPS module and a couple of cameras. One main and the second additional, and the rear camera has a parking assist mode and is enclosed in a waterproof case, turns on automatically. You just need to go into reverse gear.

The recorder is designed as a rear-view mirror. The built-in 5-inch display with IPS matrix is ​​located on the left, that is, the review will not interfere in any way.

Records videos in excellent quality in any light. With its power, functionality and performance, the price from 9 thousand rubles looks quite adequate.

You can also set a speed limiter here. Exceeding the set mark, the DVR will start emitting warning signals.

Inspector Murena

An interesting novelty in the original case with two cameras. Differs in incredibly compact size. The length is 10 cm and the height is 4.5 cm. Outwardly it looks like a black tube.

Yes, you can't count on a large display because of that design, and why is it needed at all. Videos are still viewed mostly via a smartphone or computer. Instead, the user gets an almost invisible housing with the option of concealed installation.

The resolution of the main camera is Quad HD, while the second has FullHD. The device has abandoned the usual lithium-ion batteries. It was replaced with a supercapacitor. This increased the resistance of the DVR to high and extremely low temperatures, and also extended its service life.

If the presence of a display is critical for you, then this model will not work. But for everyone else, this is one of the best devices in its category in 2021.

Artway AV394

For many, this is the favorite of 2021. Excellent DVR equipped with two cameras. At the same time, it costs about 4 thousand rubles.

There is a WDR function, high quality video recording from both cameras, a parking assistance system. It is based on quality materials and technical stuffing. The only thing that is not here is a radar detector.

The 3-inch screen is small but crisp and easy to read.

The external camera is made in a waterproof case. Although it can also be installed inside the car to monitor what is happening in the cabin.

Build at the highest level. For its money, this is the best recorder, and even with an additional camera.

Objectively, two cameras are better than one. It is not difficult to choose such a DVR. The main thing here is to correctly prioritize.

How useful is the second camera? Does such a device make sense? Why do you use an additional camera on the DVR?
