DDPAI Z60 Pro in review<\/a>, so I will only share my observations here after longer use.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DDPAI-Z90-Master-use-47.jpg\" "\\"DDPAI")

Nors program\u0117l\u0117 veikia stabiliai ir joje netr\u016bksta funkcij\u0173, jos i\u0161d\u0117stymas man nepasirod\u0117 pats intuityviausias. Kai kuri\u0173 nustatym\u0173 teko gerokai paie\u0161koti – pavyzd\u017eiui, grei\u010dio vienet\u0173 pakeitim\u0105 i\u0161 mph \u012f km\/h radau tik gerokai paklaid\u017eioj\u0119s po meniu.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I also missed more recording management options. I would like to be able to choose how long recordings are stored, when they start to be overwritten, and how the internal memory is used. Currently, the internal memory and the memory card are filled to capacity, and then the oldest recordings are overwritten. Since the Z90 Master has both built-in memory and a microSD card, it would be convenient to automatically save recordings to both media as a backup, but there is no such option here either.<\/p>\n
I also noticed one strange software solution. Although only the main camera has a microphone, audio recording can be turned on for both the front and rear cameras. When it is turned on for both channels, the audio is linked to the rear camera recording, so when viewing the front camera image, it simply will not be there. Fortunately, this is easily solved by simply turning off audio recording for the rear camera, but it would be nicer if such a manual fix was not necessary at all.<\/p>\n

Labai patiko laiko juostos (timeline) per\u017ei\u016bra – ji leid\u017eia tikrai greitai surasti reikiam\u0105 \u012fra\u0161o viet\u0105. Visgi atsisiun\u010diant vaizdo \u012fra\u0161us \u0161is patogumas kiek dingsta. Parsisiuntus vienos kameros \u012fra\u0161\u0105, norint i\u0161saugoti tos pa\u010dios akimirkos vaizd\u0105 i\u0161 kitos kameros, tenka i\u0161 naujo ie\u0161koti tos vietos laiko juostoje. Be to, baigus atsisiuntim\u0105 program\u0117l\u0117 automati\u0161kai gr\u012f\u017eta \u012f tiesiogin\u012f vaizd\u0105, tod\u0117l norint parsisi\u0173sti dar vien\u0105 fail\u0105 visus veiksmus tenka pakartoti.<\/p>\n
Video quality<\/h2>\n
The biggest advantage of the DDPAI Z90 Master, at least in my eyes, is the image quality. The Sony STARVIS 2 sensor, already seen in the Z60 model, together with the HDR system, ensures good results not only in ideal conditions, but also in difficult situations. After numerous tests and video reviews, I can say that this is where the camera pleasantly surprised me.<\/p>\n
Front camera<\/h2>\n
Priekin\u0117s kameros vaizdo kokyb\u0117 paliko labai ger\u0105 \u012fsp\u016bd\u012f visomis s\u0105lygomis. Va\u017eiuojant prie\u0161 saul\u0119 HDR puikiai susitvarko – \u0161viesios vietos nei\u0161dega, o \u0161e\u0161\u0117liuose i\u0161lieka pakankamai informacijos. Tiesa, i\u0161 dalies pasitvirtino mano nuog\u0105stavimai d\u0117l auksin\u0117s spalvos akcent\u0173 – tam tikrais kampais jie atsispindi vaizde. Gali b\u016bti, kad tam \u012ftakos turi automobilio stiklo i\u0161gaubtumas ar pasirinkta montavimo vieta, ta\u010diau, mano nuomone, prakti\u0161kesnis b\u016bt\u0173 buv\u0119s visi\u0161kai juodas dizainas.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/PRS-01.png\" "\\"PRS")
<\/p>\n
The DDPAI Z90 Master is at its best in good weather conditions. When you stop the image, license plates can usually be read from about three cars away, and road signs and other small details remain clearly visible. The CPL filter also does its job well and reduces unnecessary reflections.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/PRS-06-edit-V2.png\" "\\"PRS")
<\/p>\n
The camera also performed very well in rapidly changing conditions. When driving in the rain, license plates remain visible, and when exiting a tunnel, the camera adapts to the changed lighting quite quickly. Sometimes you can notice a momentary change in white balance, but the detail is almost unaffected. Even a bright sky does not spoil the overall image, and the exposure quickly balances out.<\/p>\n

Nakt\u012f prie\u0161prie\u0161ini\u0173 automobili\u0173 \u017eibintai ar ry\u0161kios reklamos nesukuria dideli\u0173 balt\u0173 d\u0117mi\u0173, tod\u0117l da\u017eniausiai vis dar galima \u012f\u017ei\u016br\u0117ti automobili\u0173 numerius bei kelio \u017eenklus. Tiesa, daug kas priklauso nuo judesio grei\u010dio – stovint numerius ar \u017eenklus atpa\u017einti gerokai lengviau nei va\u017eiuojant. Vis d\u0117lto tai b\u016bdinga prakti\u0161kai visiems vaizdo registratoriams ir DDPAI Z90 Master \u010dia pasirod\u0117 tikrai gerai.<\/p>\n

Rear camera<\/h2>\n
Before the video analysis, you can evaluate the performance of the rear camera during the day, in the rain, and at night in the video below.<\/p>\n
Galin\u0117 kamera taip pat filmuoja 4K rai\u0161ka ir naudoja t\u0105 pat\u012f Sony STARVIS 2 jutikl\u012f, ta\u010diau mano naudojimo metu jos vaizdas vis tiek pasirod\u0117 ma\u017eiau detalus nei priekin\u0117s kameros. Skirtumas labiausiai pastebimas sustabd\u017eius vaizd\u0105 – smulkios detal\u0117s, tokios kaip automobili\u0173 numeriai ar kelio \u017eenklai, n\u0117ra tokios ry\u0161kios. Vis d\u0117lto \u017ei\u016brint \u012fprastai va\u017eiuojant, vaizdas i\u0161lieka kokybi\u0161kas ir kasdieniam naudojimui jo tikrai pakanka.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/G01-edit-V2.png\" "\\"G01")
<\/p>\n
During daytime driving, the rear camera manages to maintain good detail and copes well with different lighting conditions. In the rain or in poorer conditions, the difference from the front camera becomes more noticeable, but the most important information is still captured. At night, the image also remains quite clear, although it becomes much more difficult to recognize license plates or fine details than with the front camera.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/G03.png\" "\\"G03\\"")
<\/p>\n
Tik\u0117tina, kad tam \u012ftakos turi ne tik pats kameros modulis, bet ir automobilio galinis stiklas – jo kampas, tonuotumas ar \u0161viesos pralaidumas gali stipriai paveikti galutin\u012f rezultat\u0105. Taip pat galima prie\u017eastis yra ma\u017eesnis galin\u0117s kameros \u012fra\u0161ymo \u201ebitrate\u201c – nors rai\u0161ka ir naudojamas jutiklis yra tokie patys, pagrindinei kamerai skiriamas didesnis duomen\u0173 kiekis. Vis d\u0117lto realiame naudojime \u0161is skirtumas n\u0117ra toks didelis, kad galin\u0117 kamera atrodyt\u0173 kaip silpnoji komplekto vieta – ji tiesiog neprilygsta labai stipriai priekinei kamerai.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Parking mode<\/h2>\n
Vienas didesni\u0173 DDPAI Z90 Master privalum\u0173 – galimyb\u0117 steb\u0117ti automobil\u012f ir tada, kai jis stovi. Tam registratoriui reikia nuolatinio maitinimo, tod\u0117l b\u016btent \u010dia praver\u010dia \u201eIntelligent Hardwire Kit\u201c. Jis ne tik leid\u017eia naudoti parkavimo re\u017eim\u0105, bet ir apsaugo automobilio akumuliatori\u0173 – program\u0117l\u0117je galima nustatyti \u012ftamp\u0105, ties kuria kamera automati\u0161kai i\u0161sijungs. Pavyzd\u017eiui, nusta\u010dius 12,4 V rib\u0105, kamera nebe\u012fsijungs akumuliatoriui pasiekus ar nukritus \u017eemiau \u0161io lygio.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DDPAI-Z90-Master-use-50.jpg\" "\\"DDPAI")
<\/p>\n
Parkavimo re\u017eimas turi kelis veikimo b\u016bdus. Kamera gali nuolat filmuoti \u012fprastu re\u017eimu, \u012fra\u0161in\u0117ti laiko intervalais (timelapse) arba veikti miego re\u017eimu, kai did\u017ei\u0105j\u0105 dal\u012f laiko lieka bud\u0117jimo b\u016bsenoje ir \u012fsijungia tik aptikusi \u012fvyk\u012f. Taip pat galima reguliuoti jautrum\u0105, o nusistatyti vert\u0117t\u0173 atsakingai – per didelis jautrumas gali sugeneruoti nema\u017eai klaiding\u0173 persp\u0117jim\u0173, pavyzd\u017eiui, d\u0117l \u0161alia prava\u017eiuojan\u010dio garsesnio automobilio ar kit\u0173 aplinkos judesi\u0173. Steb\u0117jimas gali veikti iki 48 valand\u0173, o naudojant 4G modul\u012f apie \u012fvyk\u012f i\u0161 karto galima gauti prane\u0161im\u0105 telefone.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Personally, I use sleep mode most of the time because it seems to be the best compromise between protecting the car and saving battery. Of course, no camera will guarantee complete protection, but knowing that the car is being monitored and the event will be recorded gives you an extra sense of peace.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DDPAI-Z90-Master-use-34.jpg\" "\\"DDPAI")
<\/p>\n
4G Cloud Box<\/h2>\n
Mobile connectivity is no longer a novelty among higher-end video recorders, but it is still quite rare. DDPAI 4G Cloud Box allows you to remotely connect to the camera, view live video, receive notifications about recorded events, set a geographic area (geofencing) and download emergency recordings (emergency recording). All this works stably and is especially useful in parking mode.<\/p>\n
The most surprising thing was that you can't browse all the recordings on the camera remotely. Only emergency recordings are available, so if you want to view a specific older video, you won't be able to do so. It's possible that this solution was chosen to save mobile data or the car's battery, but it was still unexpected to see such a limitation in functionality.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DDPAI-Z90-Master-use-44.jpg\" "\\"DDPAI")
<\/p>\n
Personally, I probably wouldn't choose the 4G module for everyday use. It's another monthly subscription, and I've only needed it a few times. Also, every notification on my phone about a detected event makes me worry for at least a moment until I open the app and see what really happened. Most of the time it turned out to be just a more sensitive system.<\/p>\n

Dar vienas dalykas, kuris man nepatiko, yra pats modulis. Jis pakankamai didelis, o prijungimo laidas gana trumpas, tod\u0117l tvarkingai pasl\u0117pti j\u012f n\u0117ra paprasta. D\u0117l \u0161ios prie\u017easties jo taip pat nelaiky\u010diau patikima automobilio sekimo priemone vagyst\u0117s atveju – jei registratorius b\u016bt\u0173 pasteb\u0117tas ir atjungtas, kartu nustot\u0173 veikti ir 4G ry\u0161ys. Mano nuomone, gerokai prakti\u0161kiau b\u016bt\u0173 buv\u0119 sukurti ma\u017eesn\u012f modul\u012f, kur\u012f b\u016bt\u0173 galima pasl\u0117pti, pavyzd\u017eiui, \u0161alia saugikli\u0173 d\u0117\u017eut\u0117s.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Additional observations<\/h2>\n
Kasdien naudojant registratori\u0173 \u012f akis krenta ir \u012fvairios smulkmenos, kurios galb\u016bt n\u0117ra lemiamos renkantis kamer\u0105, ta\u010diau bendr\u0105 naudojimo patirt\u012f tikrai pagerina. Viena i\u0161 j\u0173 – integruotas GPS. Kiekviename vaizdo \u012fra\u0161e i\u0161saugoma automobilio buvimo vieta ir greitis, tod\u0117l prireikus galima lengvai atsekti ne tik mar\u0161rut\u0105, bet ir tiksliai nustatyti, kur bei kokiu grei\u010diu buvo va\u017eiuojama. Nors kasdien \u0161ios informacijos grei\u010diausiai neprireiks, \u012fvykus eismo \u012fvykiui ji gali b\u016bti labai naudinga.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DDPAI-Z90-Master-use-36.jpg\" "\\"DDPAI")
<\/p>\n
Dar vienas dalykas, kur\u012f verta pamin\u0117ti – superkondensatorius. Skirtingai nei pigesni registratoriai, kurie da\u017enai naudoja \u012fprast\u0105 li\u010dio baterij\u0105, DDPAI Z90 Master naudoja b\u016btent superkondensatori\u0173. Kasdien naudojant skirtumas nejuntamas, ta\u010diau ilgalaik\u0117je perspektyvoje tai yra patikimesnis sprendimas. Superkondensatoriai geriau atlaiko vasaros kar\u0161t\u012f ir \u017eiemos \u0161al\u010dius, l\u0117\u010diau d\u0117visi, o netik\u0117tai dingus maitinimui leid\u017eia kamerai saugiai u\u017ebaigti \u012fra\u0161\u0105.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DDPAI-Z90-Master-use-42.jpg\" "\\"DDPAI")
<\/p>\n
Although I usually only use the dash cam screen for initial video previews or to change settings, I was pleasantly surprised by its quality. Even on a bright sunny day, the information on the screen remains clearly visible, so I don't need to connect to my phone just to quickly review the latest recording.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DDPAI-Z90-Master-use-3.jpg\" "\\"DDPAI")
<\/p>\n
DDPAI also offers several AI-based features. One of them tries to recognize the speed of cars driving nearby and display it on the screen. Although the accuracy of this feature is not so reliable, it is quite interesting to watch it work. I also liked the animations of the AI assistant. They provide almost no practical benefit, but they give the camera more character. True, they left the biggest impression not on me, but on the child.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DDPAI-Z90-Master-use-16.jpg\" "\\"DDPAI")
<\/p>\n
During use, I also noticed one situation that initially raised a lot of questions. When reviewing the recordings several times, I found short periods when there was simply no video, although the camera worked normally before and after them. After checking the recording times, I noticed that they coincided with moments when the car battery voltage had dropped below the limit set in the app. Most likely, this caused the recorder to briefly turn off in order to protect the battery, although I cannot completely rule out other reasons, such as overheating. However, I was unable to determine the exact reason. If you are using the Intelligent Hardwire Kit, I would recommend carefully choosing the shutdown voltage limit to prevent such situations from happening again.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niuxtech.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DDPAI-Z90-Master-use-20.jpg\" "\\"DDPAI")
<\/p>\n
Finally, it's worth mentioning the built-in internal memory. I trust the latter more than memory cards. However, it would be even more practical if the app could choose to automatically save recordings to both the internal memory and the microSD card as a backup. I miss that option at the moment.<\/p>\n

Z60 Pro or Z90 Master?<\/h2>\n
Nors DDPAI Z60 Pro ir Z90 Master naudoja t\u0105 pat\u012f Sony STARVIS 2 jutikl\u012f, vaizdo kokyb\u0117 tarp j\u0173 vis tiek pastebimai skiriasi. Dienos metu skirtumas n\u0117ra didelis, ta\u010diau Z90 Master geriau i\u0161laiko detales \u0161e\u0161\u0117liuose, o sustabd\u017eius vaizd\u0105 automobili\u0173 numeriai ir kelio \u017eenklai da\u017eniausiai atrodo ry\u0161kesni. Dar didesnis skirtumas i\u0161ry\u0161k\u0117ja nakt\u012f – ry\u0161kios reklamos, \u017eibintai ar kiti \u0161viesos \u0161altiniai gerokai ma\u017eiau \u201esusprogdina\u201c vaizd\u0105, tod\u0117l i\u0161lieka daugiau matom\u0173 detali\u0173. Kai kuriais atvejais su Z90 Master net pavyksta perskaityti \u0161vie\u010dian\u010dias reklamas, kurios Z60 Pro \u012fra\u0161e jau b\u016bna sunkiau \u012f\u017ei\u016brimos arba visai ne\u012fskaitomos.<\/p>\n
Verdict<\/h2>\n
DDPAI Z90 Master paliko labai ger\u0105 \u012fsp\u016bd\u012f, ta\u010diau tai n\u0117ra registratorius, kur\u012f rekomenduo\u010diau kiekvienam vairuotojui. Jo stipriausia pus\u0117 – vaizdo kokyb\u0117. Sony STARVIS 2 jutiklis, HDR sistema ir geras veikimas sud\u0117tingomis s\u0105lygomis leid\u017eia u\u017etikrintai jaustis, kad svarbiausiu momentu \u012fra\u0161as bus pakankamai detalus. Prie to dar prisideda patikimas parkavimo re\u017eimas, superkondensatorius, integruota atmintis ir papildomos funkcijos, kurios bendr\u0105 naudojimo patirt\u012f pakelia \u012f auk\u0161tesn\u012f lyg\u012f.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
However, the rather high price does not mean that there are no compromises here. The 4G module sounds like a very useful feature, but in reality it is an additional expense, and the module itself could be smaller and more conveniently installed. I would also like a more convenient app and a few additional settings, especially related to recording management.<\/p>\n

If you're looking for a simple DVR just to have video footage in case of an emergency, the DDPAI Z90 Master is likely to be too expensive.
