How does it take off?
Let's look at how Avtovision Delta Plus copes with its main task - shooting traffic conditions.
In the daytime, in sunny weather, there are no complaints about the quality of the picture output by the DVR. The sharpness is excellent, registration plates of passing and oncoming vehicles are perfectly readable even at a fairly large distance.
In cloudy weather, the output image loses a bit of sharpness, but not critical. State license plates of other road users are clearly distinguishable.
When driving in the dark on a city street illuminated by lanterns, the device behaves best, given the fact that it does not have infrared illumination. Of course, in order to distinguish car numbers on a video image, it is necessary that the distance to them be closer than in the daytime.
When driving at night on an unlit highway, the situation with the quality of shooting is predictably worsened. Despite this, even if an accident occurs, the culprit can be identified by video.
