Xingkewei is a very powerful IT company, with annual sales of more than 160 million US dollars, its dash cam has won the Red Dot Award and the IF Design Award for many times, and currently firmly controls about 40% of the market share in South Korea, and is also the driving recorder brand that occupies the largest market share in the highly competitive global market.
Xingkewei occupies the first place in the global dashcam market, which is not unrelated to the excellent performance of its products. The dash cam is mainly composed of three parts: the main control chip, the image sensor and the lens, which is also an important indicator to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the dash cam product. There are many main control chip manufacturers on the market, and the mainstream main control manufacturers are Ambarella, Novatek, AIT, Allwinner and HiSilicon, while Xingkewei widely uses Ambarella chip solutions. Ambarde's rich experience in video processing has taken the lead in launching the 264 decoding technology with high image quality, low bit rate and low power consumption, and is a well-deserved leader in dashcam image processing chips, and Gopro, the originator of action cameras, uses Ambarella A9 chip solution.
At present, most of the mainstream high-end models on the market are equipped with Ambarella chip solutions, and among the chips launched by Ambarella, the best is that it can support 1440P resolution A12, A9 ranks second, and then A7, A5 and other chips. However, because A9 was bought out by Gopro in the United States, other brands cannot be used, so Ambarella only has A12, A7 and A5 chip solutions in the dash cam market, different chips are different in terms of support resolution, frame rate, integrated functions and stability, etc., such as A12 can support up to 1440P resolution, while A7 series only supports 1080P; The A7LA55 chip of the A7 series is based on the A7LA50 with the addition of WIFI function, but there is not much difference between the two. Generally speaking, the larger the number followed by the letter of the chip, the more functions and the better the stability.
In the field of dash cams, in addition to the main control chip, another thing that has to be mentioned is the CMOS image sensor (CMOS Image Sensor, referred to as CIS), which is a device that converts optical images into electronic signals, and is widely used in digital cameras and other electronic optical devices. In the 2016-2017 CIS market share report released by Yole in September 2018, Sony's market share surpassed the sum of the second place Samsung and the third place Omnivision, and firmly occupied the position of the world's largest CIS supplier with a CIS share of 42%.
Sony released the first Exmor sensor in 2007, and in 2008 it launched the Exmor R with BSI (Back-illuminated) technology, and it was the epoch-making Apple iPhone 4S that made the Exmor R sensor famous. In 2014, Sony launched the Exmor R STARVIS starlight image sensor, which has a sensitivity of 2000mV or more per 1μm^2 pixels, and is capable of capturing visible light and near-infrared light, even in total darkness. It is reported that the camera of Sony's IMX291 STARVIS image sensor can shoot color images in the dark of 0.0001Lux, and the minimum illumination required to shoot black and white images is close to 0Lux, which means that the starlight camera can shoot video in a pitch black environment that is invisible to the human eye. The flagship F800 PRO with Ambarella A12 chip is one of the few dashcams on the market equipped with Sony IMX291 sensor, and other models with IMX291 sensors include Mio MiVue628Plus and HOLUX S-231.
Xingkewei dash cam price is generally more than 1,000 yuan,High appearance、Many functions are the main features of its products,Like F800 PRO、F800、F200、F70、F770、F100、F750 and other products are small and beautiful,There is no extra screen,Less space is occupied during installation,Suitable for users who pursue concealment。 The flagship QX800, which is priced at 3100 yuan, is the product with the most functions and the highest resolution of Xingkewei, which is a front and rear dual recording 1440P. In addition to the basic dashcam functions, the two Ambarella A12 dual recording products include ADAS vehicle safety system and time-lapse recording. The F800, F800 PRO, F770, F750 and X550 all have built-in GPS to provide accurate location information to the driver.
