This updated Qvia AR790M is the updated version of the successful AR790 series. The M version has improved GPS reception and sharper image quality. The Qvia AR790M WD also has built-in WiFi, GPS and a G-sensor. In addition, the AR790M films with the best 1080p video quality through the use of the SONY Exmor sensor and can withstand extreme temperatures from -40˚C to 80˚C.
This Qvia AR790M WD 2CH records in high quality FullHD 1080p 30fps with the IMX322 sensor at the front and Sony Exmor at the rear. These sensors also perform excellent at night and show a lot of details. Videos are processed by the Ambarella A12 chipset
Qvia AR790M WD 2CH comes with a high quality FullHD rear camera. The camera is connected to the front camera with a 5 meter long cable (11m also available, see accessories) trough which it sends te video data and gets its power. Both cameras record simultaneously and the video files are stored separately on the same SD card. The standard rear camera is not waterproof and should be fitted on the rear window. An optional waterproof rear camera (LK-150 A-type) is available as accessory.
This Qvia AR790M WD 2CH has WDR allowing for great Night vision. WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) adjusts the video to the surroundings, making the video more clear and detailed at low light conditions.
The Qvia AR790M WD 2CH can record in five different types:
Regular recording: The regular recordings start when the camera is switched on. The recordings are stored on the SD card in fragments of 5 minutes (adjustable). When the SD card is full, the oldest fragments are automatically deleted from the card to make room for new recordings.
Event recording: When an impact is detected by the built-in G-sensor, the camera switches to Event recording and indicates this with a sound. The 10 seconds before and 20 seconds after the impact are stored on the MicroSD card and cannot be deleted by the camera.
Parking recording: When in parking mode, the camera detects movements and will store a 30-second recording on the regular SD card when a movement occurs.
Emergency recording: A manual emergency recording can be started with one press on the button. These 30-second recordings are safely stored on a separate file on the SD card.
Time lapse parking mode: The AR790M WD 2CH supports time-lapse parking recordings. In a time-lapse recording, a picture is taken every second. The pictures can then be watched as a high-speed recording. The big advantage of this type of recording is that it increases the recording time of the camera because the parking videos won't take up much data anymore. With the standard 32 GB card, over 15 hours of time lapse parking videos can be saved.
One of the great parts about this AR790M WD 2CH is the automatic parking mode function. The AR790M WD 2CH comes with a 3-wire hardwire cable included. Connect the yellow cable to a continuous power source, the red cable to a switched power source and the black cable to the ground of the car. Now when you turn off the ignition the dashcam will go into parking mode automatically and will start a normal recording when you start the car again. There are two options:
Time lapse: Dashcam makes a continuous 1fps recording.
Motion detection: Dashcam is on stand-by and will make a 30 seconds video when a movement is detected, 10 seconds prior and 20 seconds after detection.
Note: The yellow and red cable are connected differently from other (Chinese) hardwire cables. Normally the red cable is for the continuous power and the yellow for the switched one, for Korean dashcams like this one it’s the other way around.
The ADAS system on this Qvia AR790M WD 2CH is a built-in 'Advanced Driver Assistant System'. This system supports the driver on three different ways:
FCWS: Forward Collision Warning System. This system gives a warning when a vehicle in front is approached at high speed, for example because of a traffic jam. When the GPS signal is good, the AR790M WD 2CH has the current speed and can give a predictable calculation of the situation around the car.
LDWS: Lane Departure Warning System. When the car is about to leave the driving lane, the camera can give a signal to alert the driver.
FVSA: Forward Vehicle Start Alarm. Everyone has one of these moments when you don't really pay attention while waiting in line at a traffic light- or jam. This system warns the driver when the vehicle in front is driving away.
*The ADAS functions better or worse depending on the road situation. On relatively small roads, the LDWS system can give a signal quite quickly.
This Qvia AR790M WD 2CH has built-in Wifi, enabling wireless video transferring between the camera and your iOS and Android phone or tablet with the available Qvia App. All settings can also be easily changed in the App. The Qvia app is available for free in the Appstore and Google Play store.
This Qvia AR790M WD 2CH has a built-in GPS receiver. The current speed is shown in every video and the coördinates are stored on the SD card. Using the Qvia viewer for Windows and Mac the videos can be shown together with the locations and G-sensor activity. Also more advanced settings can be changed in the viewer. Qvia GPS player is available for download on this Qvia page. Make sure to select the correct model before downloading.
This Qvia AR790M WD 2CH can resist extreme temperatures between -30˚C and 80˚C. Qvia puts a lot of effort in designing very high quality dashcams, making it one of the most durable brands on the market.
Qvia AR790M WD 2CH gives spoken signals and warnings, telling the driver which recording type the camera is in or if any other error occurred. This AR790M WD 2CH has the option to select 21 different languages including most European languages.
With the new Qvia format free function the SD card in this AR790M WD 2CH doesn't need to be formatted manually anymore. Where other SD cards need to be formatted every few weeks or months, the AR790M WD 2CH is totally without hassle.
AR790M WD 2CH has as security LED on the camera to show others that your car is protected. The LED can be turned off in the menu if you like.
The Qvia AR790M WD 2CH comes with a Hardwire cable in de box, a cigarette power cable is optional (see accessories). Note that the parking mode function (see below) will only work with the Hardwire cable installed.
In combination with the Hardwire kit, the Qvia AR790M WD 2CH has a low voltage cut-off prevention to make sure the camera doesn't drain your car's battery when it's parked. The voltage can be set at 11.8V, 12.0V and 12.4V.
This AR790M WD 2CH is placed on the windscreen with a firm adhesive mount that doubles as the GPS receiver. This clever design allows for a clean installation, great GPS reception and videos with little to no vibration. The mount stays on the windscreen and the dashcam can be slid in and out of it easily. Extra mounts are available if you want to use the camera in more than one vehicle (see accessories).
This Qvia AR790M WD 2CH supports Micro SD cards up to 256gb (32gb included). 256gb stores about 32 to 48 hours of FullHD 1080p 30fps recordings.
The Qvia AR790M WD 2CH has a 135˚ + 130˚ wide view ‘fish-eye’ lens to make sure a big area around the car is visible and captured.
The Qvia AR790M WD 2CH has a super capacitor instead of a normal battery. Super capacitors are more durable and reliable than Li-ion batteries. They have a longer lifespan and perform better in very high or low temperatures. Note that capacitors only store power for a very short time, meaning that the camera will immediately turn off when the power it turned off and cannot be used without a power source.
This Qvia AR790M WD 2CH is equipped with loop recording so the dashcam will keep recording even when the SD card is full. Videos are stored in short files of 3, 5 or 10 minutes, when the SD card is full the oldest file will be automatically deleted so there is space for a new file. This way you are sure the last period of time is stored on the SD card, the length of this period depending on the size of the SD card.
When powered by the cigarette power plug, the Qvia AR790M WD 2CH will start recording automatically when the car is turned on and will stop recording when the car is turned off. Note that this function will only work in cars that provide power trough the cigarette port when the ignition is on. When power is also provided when the ignition is off, the AR790M WD 2CH will stay on and has to be turned on and off manually.
The built-in G-sensor in this Qvia AR790M WD 2CH registers when you have an accident and in that case saves the current file in a special emergency folder on the SD card. Files in this folder cannot be erased by the loop recording.
This Qvia AR790M WD 2CH has a built-in microphone. The microphone can be muted in the menu.
The current time and date of the recordings are visible in the lower corner of the videos. This setting can also be turned off in the menu.
