In today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape, devices are constantly blurring category lines. Just as smartphones have become much more than call-making tools, car devices are experiencing a similar transformation. The humble car camera is no longer solely for recording drives; it’s morphing into a comprehensive multimedia hub, complete with operating systems, media players, radios, speakerphones, navigation, and a host of other functionalities. Among these innovative devices is the Vordon mCar multimedia recorder, a product from the Vordon brand, known for both its dedicated fanbase and staunch critics. Vordon is a brand committed to development and customer communication, evidenced by quality certifications like RoHS, CE, Rzetelna Firma, and the Business Gazelle award in 2016. The mCar recorder exemplifies this evolution, offering far more than its name suggests.
Say Goodbye to Complex Installations with the Vordon mCar Station
If you crave cutting-edge car multimedia without the hassle of dismantling your factory setup, the Vordon mCar station is engineered for you. Forget cockpit modifications; simply plug it into your cigarette lighter socket, position the mCar station conveniently, and you’re ready to command a suite of features. This “plug-and-play” simplicity preserves your car’s interior aesthetics while dramatically enhancing device control at your fingertips. Vordon’s designers have paid attention to detail, including three interchangeable front panels (pure black, brown wood, and dark wood) to seamlessly integrate the device into any car interior.
Vordon mCar: Your All-in-One Multimedia Powerhouse
The heart of the Vordon mCar is its IPS 7-inch touchscreen multimedia station. This intuitive interface allows effortless operation and playback of audio and video files. Enjoy high-definition movies, music, and even games while on the road, during breaks, or in traffic jams.

Seamless Connectivity with 3G Modem and SIM Card Slot
The Vordon mCar stands out as a pioneer, being among the first video recorders with a built-in SIM card slot. This innovative feature provides standalone internet access, eliminating the need for Wi-Fi hotspots from smartphones or portable routers, which were previously essential for such devices. Simply insert an active SIM card, and the Vordon mCar gains its own network connection. This seemingly small addition fundamentally transforms the device’s functionality. Combined with the Android operating system, it grants access to a vast library of applications, directly on your car device.
Vordon mCar: Integrated Video Recording and Advanced Safety Features
The front-facing digital camera is cleverly integrated into the rear of the housing, mounted on a ball joint for versatile up-down and left-right angle adjustments. The rear analog camera serves dual purposes: recording footage behind the vehicle and providing a clear view for reversing maneuvers. While the rear camera connection is wired, it’s compatible with universal wireless modules available separately, enabling wireless video transmission to the mCar station.
Enhanced Security with G-Sensor and Parking Monitoring
The integrated G-sensor (G-Sensor) is a crucial safety feature, automatically initiating the recording of 10-second video clips upon detecting a sudden impact or shock. Adjustable sensitivity (high, normal, low) allows customization, with normal sensitivity being generally recommended. The G-sensor proves invaluable for capturing parking incidents and identifying responsible parties in cases of minor collisions. Furthermore, the parking monitoring function enhances vehicle security even when the recorder is in sleep mode. Upon activation, it automatically resumes system operation and records 30-second video clips upon detecting motion or impact. The automatic parking mode further assists drivers by switching the display to the rear camera view with parking guidelines when reversing, automatically reverting to the previous display mode once the parking signal ceases.
GPS Navigation and Driver Assistance
Operating on the Android platform, the Vordon mCar is equipped with a built-in GPS module. Google Maps is pre-installed as the default navigation app, but users can easily switch to other preferred GPS mapping software like Navitel or Waze. This ensures optimal route planning, traffic avoidance, and confident navigation in unfamiliar areas. Furthermore, the mCar can integrate with radar and speed camera warning systems like Yanosik, creating a comprehensive driver assistance system.
Bluetooth Connectivity for Hands-Free Calling and More
Pairing your smartphone with the Vordon mCar recorder via Bluetooth is straightforward. Simply activate Bluetooth on the mCar, access the cordless menu on your phone, and locate the car recorder in your smartphone’s Bluetooth settings. Once paired, your phone contacts automatically synchronize with the mCar recorder, enabling hands-free calls and access to your contacts directly from the device. While the device can store pairings for multiple phones, Bluetooth communication is active with only one device at a time.
A Minor Drawback: Desirability
The only notable downside of the Vordon mCar DVR is its very appeal. Its comprehensive features and sleek design might unfortunately make it a target for theft.
