Chinese tech company 360 may have rested its smartphone business but the firm is still very active in manufacturing other tech gadgets. In recent times, we have seen a number of Robot Vacuum cleaners from the brand. Right now, the company has unveiled the 360 K980 4K Dashboard Camera.
With an increase in road traffic-related
accidents, the dashboard camera is presently an important component that every
car should have. The 360 K980 dashboard camera supports ultra-high-definition
shooting at 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) thanks to a Sony IMX415 flagship
image sensor onboard. This ensures that small-sized features are captured
clearly such as differentiating between “4” and “A” on license plates.
The 360 K980 dashcam adopts a compact and
portable size. It utilizes a 2.2-inch ultra-clear display. Usually, most
cameras only permit video replay on a smartphone companion app. But in this
case, the videos can be replayed directly from the dashcam’s display if a
smartphone isn’t available.
The dashcam packs a built-in 64GB eMMC
memory card which runs faster for small file storage and retrieval. It also
comes with H.265 encoding compression technology that can save more than 30% of
storage space, directly solving the need for external storage due to
insufficient capacity. The built-in memory card also brings improvement in the
overall picture quality. Wireless file transfer is also swift as the dashcam
arrives with high-speed 5GHz Wi-Fi which greatly increases the video transmission
speed by up to 5 times.
The driving recorder also brings support
for parking monitoring functions, advanced driving assistance (ADAC), collision
sensing, and so on. Inside the retail box, there is also a car cigarette
charger and an ultra-long USB cable that makes it possible to charge the camera
while in use without the wire obstructing the driver’s field of view.
Talking of the price, the 360 K980 4K
Dashboard Camera is presently listed on Jingdong (JD.com) for 699 yuan (US$ 108).
