It will record, say 5 or 10 seconds before impact, etc.
For Viofo, it will only start recording during impact, so you have no idea how the accident happens.
That’s why Korean DVR true parking mode is superior to Chinese DVR.
iRoad X9 funtions are superior than F200, as F200 is the cheaper range of Thinkware. The similarly specced Thinkware to X9 is F800 Pro, but it costs about 2k while X9 is less than 1.5k.
But the build qualiy of iRoad is still below Thinkware and Blackvue
Actually, the F800 Pro is a higher range and has more functions than the iRoad X9.
The F200 is Thinkware's low-range to cater to the budget conscious.
If you want to compare the iRoad X9 to Thinkware then I would say it's a little bit beneath the X550 (Thinkware's mid-range) as the X550 has an extra feature, Smart Camera Alert which works in Malaysia since last year October/November.
Even the iRoad TX9 with its 3K QHD resolution, I would put it at the same level as the F770 more.
But I've tested the TX9's ADAS and it's almost as accurate as Thinkware's. I didn't like the proprietary file format, JDR, that iRoad uses. Only can watch the files using their own player or app. And some other stuffs.
Anyway, iRoad in Korea is considered to be a "budget" dashcam in the Korean market.
