The perfect car dvr and radar detector. We create together!
Hi Geektimes! We are representatives of a major manufacturer of automotive devices. But unlike other brands represented at Geektimes, we don’t want to stupidly review our new products and throw mud at our competitors. We won’t even call ourselves so that we don’t think that we are going to advertise between the lines. Our goal is to make car devices even better. After all, many of you live in Russia, where on the roads you can shoot anything - a tank , a helicopter or even a meteorite .

Now the market of DVRs and radar detectors is quite saturated and anyway it won’t work anymore - you have to literally fight for the buyer. Some of the manufacturers come up with some chips, some others, but we were of the opinion that it is not necessary to develop new devices out of personal preference, but based on the opinion of the collective mind by conducting surveys. That is why we decided to contact you, dear Geektimes users - we are pleased to realize that you are many, you do not need to tell what a DVR or radar detector is and what you can expect from them. Let's try together to decide what it should be like, an ideal DVR? A video recorder in which the functions you need, and not imposed by the manufacturer, will be? The DVR you would like to use. And the same thing with radar detectors,
We are aware that not all users have the opportunity to write comments, so for this case we suggest you use a small Google form with questions , the answers from which will go right where you need to. The same option should be used if you have any information or suggestions that you do not want to share publicly.

Those users who can write comments are friends, sit back, think carefully and tell us about your vision of a device that plays such an important role in your car. The more, the better!
If you don’t feel like writing anything, then at least take part in the vote (only too thoughtfully) - such information will also be useful to us.
Discussions are welcome! All feedback will be analyzed, we will draw conclusions and try to take them into account in our work. Thanks!
