回顾汽车夜间Visi Lanmodo庞大的1080 pon System

晚上开车是危险的。即使你a skilled and alert driver, that might not help you much when driving with poor visibility. What happens when a thick fog blankets the road, or when it’s too dark to see more than a couple of feet ahead of you? When you’re not persistently driving in safe conditions, it can make a lot of sense to get a little help.

Lanmodo Vast 1080P Automotive Night Vision System

TheLanmodo Vast Automotive Night Vision System类似于车辆上有一对灯。总体想法是帮助提高您看到道路的能力。但是在各种情况下，大量实际上比一些简单的远光灯要好。因为作为夜视系统，此设备有点像给驾驶员超级能力。

在其两台摄像机之间，Lanmodo Vast可以捕捉到这条道路的广阔景色。但是，该系统没有记录该镜头，而是旨在向驾驶员展示实时饲料。这样，驾驶员可以同时使用挡风玻璃和显示屏，以帮助他们看到前方的道路。并利用红外视线的力量，即使在最糟糕的驾驶环境中，驾驶员也可以保持清晰的道路视图。

For installation, you’re looking at a process that’s easily done by yourself. There’s no need to go into the shop for work, unlike a lot of similar night vision systems. This system is also pretty cheap compared to a lot of alternatives. But how well does the Vast manage to combine production quality and affordability in practice?

设计与布局

Most of the time, adding a large screen to your vehicle runs the risk of being a bad idea. Because the screen could be distracting, right? Well, in this case, not really. For starters, the screen is always giving you a view of the road. So being distracted by the Vast isn’t possible in most situations. And that’s before we get into the analogue controls, auto-off features, and mounting options.

看着设备本身，Lanmodo Gast基本上只是一个大屏幕。这有点像智能手机在其侧面翻转，然后像宽屏显示器一样伸展。该显示屏的尺寸为8.8 x 3.3英寸，包括围绕其边缘放置的四分之一英寸挡板。屏幕本身实际上是8.2英寸，几乎可以达到小平板电脑的尺寸。

Since this is not a touchscreen, and there is no adjoining app, everything gets done with analogue controls. The topside of the display has a total of seven analogue buttons. Each are quite small, no larger than the end of a pen. Even though the buttons are articulated enough to be accessible to larger fingers, they’re also close enough together that you do need a tiny bit of finesse to use them.

Control Interface

The first switch is a signal switch button, wisely positioned on the furthest left of the control line. Since this is one switch that you don’t want to have to struggle to find, it’s got a great positioning. The second switch is the menu window, which lets you adjust the contrast and brightness settings of the display. Then the third is a screen rotation button, letting you rotate the screen until you have the best view. And the fourth button, in the dead center of all the others, is the power button. Beyond that, there are scroll up and scroll down buttons to navigate the menu, and then the vision switch button.

在本系列结束时放置的视觉开关按钮是读书开关按钮是另一个智能设计动作。因为由于情况所需的不断变化，因此很容易在黑色和白色视觉之间快速交换和全色视觉。即使这种七个开关的数组确实需要一些习惯，但总体位置也足够好，您可以立即开始成为有效，更安全的驱动程序。

查看显示

If you’re not familiar, IPS panels are great for two things. The first thing is providing more true to life color than duller, cheaper TN panels. The second thing is providing far better viewing angles than TN panels. In fact, the viewing angle is pretty close to 180-degrees. You can basically look at this thing sideways and still end up with a good view of what’s happening.

在屏幕上，为了获得强大的夜视能力，Lanmodo Vast使用的红外类型是主动红外，而不是被动。这基本上意味着该车辆在环境环境方面非常有效，无论其环境光的水平如何。无论您的眼睛和道路之间的干扰如何。

And the display itself is reasonably sharp. The resolution of the display is a fitting 1080p HD, which looks clear and crisp on the modestly sized 8.2” display. Since the resolution is much larger than the screen size calls for, the clarity is very life-like. From an experiential point of view, it even seems like it could pass itself off as 4K. But 1080p is really more than enough for a display like this.

为了确保夜视系统只能在需要的位置查看，镜头的角度捕获了36°的视图。那是一个非常狭窄且高度指导的镜头。在内部，摄像机得到了索尼MCCD芯片的支持。夜视镜头为28mm。内置的夜视范围更具定向的目光，可以根据需要在18°和30°之间移动。再次，非常针对性。

As for the backside of the vehicle, if you decide to integrate one, the rear view camera has a wide 170°wide-angle view. That’s basically a full view of the road around you. On the other hand, the rear camera shoots in 720p. That’s enough clarity to capture license plates, and it is also certainly enough clarity for viewing the road behind you. You do notice a small drop-off in visual quality when you swap from the 1080p front camera over towards the back, but it’s hard to tell.

无论哪种情况，内容均以30fps的框架拍摄。为了比较，这比您从广播电视中发现的光滑度更加顺畅。它肯定足够平稳，可以作为有效的汽车夜视系统。由于您不必担心录制录像，因此如果他们将相机运行到60fps，那就很好。但是，由于这不是必不可少的，并且很可能会增加显示屏的成本，因此30个框架可用于安全驾驶。

Having night vision in your car has tons of advantages. For driving safely at night, the camera might have a better view of the road than your unaided eyes. How about when it’s raining and your vision may be blurred by excessive downpour? The camera can cut through that, letting you see clearly. It works just as well in foggy conditions.

安装可能性

It’s available both independently, or with a rear view camera. Since there are two camera options, there are two camera cables to consider. The 6.25m cable is suitable for ordinary vehicles, like someone’s sedan. The 25m version of the cable is more suitable for someone who’s trying to rig the night vision system into a truck or passenger car.

There are actually two installation methods. The first is installation with a suction cup. Given the general lightweight nature of this device, the suction cup is able to provide a perfectly secure installation. It’s also a better choice for people who want the display to have a more central position, or potentially even replacing their traditional rear-view mirror with the display.

无论哪种情况，从那里，您都只能运行OBD适配器或较轻的适配器，就完成了。它还可以随时随地快速添加或卸下该设备。也许当您停在购物中心时，您不希望挡风玻璃后面挂着大型相机。

The second installation option is a non-slip mat. The non-slip mat gets attached to your dashboard, and then you just place the Landmodo Vast Night Vision System over the mat. The matte is made of a pleasant rubbery surface that does a good job of keeping the display stationary. Compared to the suction cup, that makes the screen even easier to pick up, move, or hide away as you see fit.

无论哪种情况，一旦将设备放在垫子上，或用吸力杯将其粘在挡风玻璃上，就可以完成安装。很顺利。而且，此显示的长度不应阻止您根据需要将其安全地存放在手套箱中。尽管如果您开始将东西堆放到屏幕上，则可以考虑投资简单的屏幕保护器。随附的玻璃擅长防御轻微的划痕，但是当涉及到这样的显示器时，您比后悔更好。

Other Considerations

The working temperature for this system is -4°F to 176°F. During the summer, it’s not uncommon for the heat inside a vehicle to reach 150°F or more. Really, being covered out to 176°F should mean you’re protected from basically everything outside of a doomsday scenario. If it’s a record temperature outside, and you decided to park your vehicle directly under the sun, you could still encounter some problems. Basically, you still have to exercise common sense.

The Lanmodo Vast includes a cigarette lighter adapter, OBD adapter, three-in-one input cable, non-slip mat, suction cup, and one hand sized screw driver. The input cable can accommodate NVS connection wires, rear view signal inputs, and a DV 12V power input. That should be basically everything that the average person needs to get started using the Lanmodo Vast.

And if you need alternatives for powering the unit, you can pick up a 24V to 12V voltage converter. But that converter/adapter is not included.

Who Should Choose Lanmodo Vast 1080P Automotive Night Vision System?

该系统可能有意义的原因有很多。一个是它非常容易安装。您可以根据需要添加和删除屏幕，尤其是使用更直接的马特式安装方法时。这使得Lanmodo Vast的安装几乎可以接近任何人。

Another reason is safety. When you’re not driving through a well-lit area, the lights on your vehicle alone are not always going to give you a clear view of the road. TheLanmodo Vastcan fix that. In the distant future, even if self-driving vehicles start to become popular, it’s possible that these kind of devices will become quite standard.

因为在许多不同的情况下，这样的系统通常比仅依靠您的高光束更安全。熟悉该系统的时间很快，并且在开车时几乎立即将其添加到安全性。由于您可以根据需要将其翻转，根据需要调整亮度，并根据需要在驾驶模式之间切换，因此它永远不会妨碍您。

If you already have a dash camera, then it could be a little tedious to add this night vision system into your vehicle. It could be trickier to end up giving power to all your devices. It would also become a little burdensome to have a small arsenal of devices lining the inside of your vehicle. If you never drive at night, and you never have to deal with difficult road conditions, then you might be another exception. But outside of those potential issues, it’s easy to suggest theLanmodo Vastto most drivers.
