Since it operates in IR range of the light spectrum, it should be very handy in fog as well as in forest, to detect the animals hiding behind bushes just being ready to jump up on the road.
though I noticed it didn't highlight the pedestrian when the person was crossing the road, only when the person got to the other side did the highlight turn on. But something better than nothing.
At 17:20 if there was a deer on the road, would it have enough contrast compared to the tree line that's shown in the video? The reason I ask is because it looks like the tree line is very bright and if there would be a deer. If it's the same color then it would be difficult to pick up before the AI technology can identify it as an animal. Thank you and looking forward to a reply
XionUnjust: What wasn't totally clear unless you look at around 17:29 is that the car was surrounded by a colored rectangle that changes color from green to yellow to red based on perceived danger (time or distance deliniated). The deer would be almost white in color and would stand out among the background trees but the rectangular, colored shape around the deer would eliminate any room for doubt.
I want this, but I can't seem to find anywhere to buy it. I often drive at nighttime in the country side, no lights, lots of COWS and some motorcycles with no lights. So this could hopefully make things a bit safer. I like the audible warning.
imma also getting dazzled in the night.Pedestrians cannot be seen perfectly at the side of the road. Maybe NV2 could give me some helps. Warning me of them.
@@SpyderLEEi am trying to locate a 2nd camera as would like option of using in 2 different vehicles without buying whole new unit... I've reached out to infiray and hopefully they can help
It's good... support from the manufacturer is crap... endless.emails etc about acquiring a 2nd camera so i can swap between vehicles. They dont respond and would hate to interact with them if item develops a fault.
@@ahmedalkaabi Currently there isn't a "new brand with a bigger screen". Since this unit issues audible warnings a bigger screen may be a negative since one shouldn't be staring at the screen while using it. Once the audible signal is produced the safest way to use the screen is as you would your rear view mirror, a quick glance should do for identification and positional purposes.
Thinking about installing a few of these for if and when someone needs to do some ghost driving on the highway. Nothing crazy just prep for the apocalypse yk 😉
Does it have any video output? Thinking about connecting to the car’s built in entertainment system. Also, is there a way to turn off some of those annoying notifications?
As yet… no and no. I’ve just had a firmware update sent over today to try that adds proper 1 minute video files onto the memory card. After using it in my vehicle since I did this video the notifications aren’t over the top to be honest, they are quite clever depending on the situation.
The trouble with putting the video into the car's built in entertainment system is that the car's system forces the user to take their eyes too far off the road and for too long. It's safer to have the screen close enough to the front view where this wouldn't be an issue. One can turn off the audible notifications by manually bringing the volume down but the volume would be lowered for all audible notifications as, currently, this unit doesn't allow one to choose which audible signals to lower. It's all or nothing.

I drive a F-150 and the distance between my dash and seat is not the same as in a car. The screen is way too small for my vehicle. Needs a bigger screen.
What is it actually saying when it sees a pedestrian? it sounds like it says "passage". I just installed this on my own vehicle and i cannot figure out what it says. Maybe i'm going deaf?
High price compared to what? In terms of what's available for one's vehicle, especially considering its audible signal, it's the best unit at this time and, compared to other units that similar features, it's by far the least expensive to date. Currently this lists for $599 (dollars) while others go from $1,500 to $2,500+. I recently bought one and reduced the price as such: I opened up a checking account with a bank that gave me $250 to do so. I started a credit card (which I used to purchase the item, thus fulfilling the terms of the offer) and got an additional $200 credit towards my balance/purchase. I bought it while it was discounted to $569 (a Spring season sale). So, effectively it cost me $119.
@@VitalySokorenko You are confusing a night vision camera which this item isn't with thermal imagers which this item is. Night vision cameras magnify the available light but thermal imagers display ultrared light which penetrates fog, smog and rain easily. You should check what I've just stated here and, once you confirm its truth, delete or edit your statement as it incorrectly implies that the MV2 is a night vision camera.
This should be standard on any car I'm tired of getting blinded by new cars headlights.
New cars are terrible they are so bright. Not sure how they are even legal some of them!

It's useful for me. Sometimes im not paying total attention to the traffic. It'll bring my attention back to the road again!
Excellent video. Thanks for going through all the details.

There are some on eBay if you search infray nv2 👍

Love the channel
how does it deal with direct sunlight hitting the camera? i fried my first thermal by looking at the sun
Can you see potholes on the night ,in time to weave and dodge?
Just got one bought off ebay brand new £375!!!!! Love my gadgets
They are quite cool. I’m thinking of transferring mine to the boxer camper.

CAR AHEAD MOVING!
Hmm, strange... I have exactly the same one, but for some reason there is no slot for an SD card, what could this be connected with?

Was excited but looks like these things are failing left and right...a known Radar Detector forum review confirmed this :\
Great thing but the screen is too small, if it would connect to the head unit maybe I would get one

It states "hazard".
Improvise a prompter if you don't want to buy one, it will improve your video a lot.
That would mean scripts! I’m far too impatient for that
anyone found a proper manual for this NV2? No menus, no way to switch annoying voice prompts and leave only pedestrian and animal warning?
The NV2 currently comes with a manual. As of this date there is no way to select which voice prompts can be off or on. It's all or nothing.

Are these still being made?
These are still made but I’ve got a newer version on its way to me to look at and video. Supposedly a lot better.
@@SpyderLEE Any news about this, video/review in the near future? Is it an updated NV2, or a new modell? Brand and modell name?
@@modifiedf2092 it’s a completely different model by another company. I have it and will be making the video this week. It looks posh

@@tysonfinn1470 I’ve made it. Just haven’t had chance to edit yet. Most likely be released next weekend.
Does it work with fog?
TheMB72: Yes, it works VERY well with fog rendering the fog as though it doesn't exist.
No, not a single night vision camera will work in rain or fog, it doesn't work!

First comment 🎉
OMFG If it's IR then it's not thermal
How do you think thermal cameras work then? lol, mine work using infrared yours must be magic ones
Absolute lame video
What would you do to improve this video?
