Chapter 116

About two weeks later.

"Boss, we finally made the finished product. How do you think the effect of this first generation is?"

Shen Yi's new employee was very excited and placed a simple recorder fixed with tape in front of Shen Yi.

Things like driving recorders don't have much technical content, even if you find a few people who have a little understanding of electrical appliances.

Another person who has studied single-chip microcomputers can do it after just a little research.

The few workers Shen Yi recruited didn't even work for a week before they came up with crude finished products.

I said two weeks earlier because it took one week to recruit people.

Although the technical content of this kind of thing is simple, it will still be a hot product in the future.

In the future, almost all cars will be self-contained when they leave the factory. Although the country does not force private cars to install them, many car owners still install them voluntarily.

After all, it can reduce a lot of trouble and disputes.

If you really meet an old lady who wants to blackmail you for 400 to [-] yuan, should I spend [-] yuan to buy a recorder, or should I give [-] to [-] yuan to someone else with a grievance?

These two results are self-evident.

It is estimated that there are about 6000 million domestic motor vehicles, and motor vehicle sales this year are still growing.

According to the official announcement, domestic car sales increased by 800 million last year.

As Chinese people become richer, this number will increase year by year.This year it may be 900 million, and the year after tomorrow it may be 1000 million.

Such a huge market, even if Shen Yi won 300 million car dash cams, accounting for [-]% of the total number of domestic motor vehicles.

If each driving recorder costs 400 yuan, the total sales would be 12 billion.

The prospect of this market will reach tens of billions in the future, which should not be underestimated.

Moreover, if Shen Yi doesn't have much time to manage this business in the future, he can negotiate a suitable price and sell it, which will net him a lot of cash.

Shen Yi looked at the hastily completed dashcam and plugged in the wires.

After plugging in the wire, there was a reaction time of two or three seconds, and then the screen started to light up, but the picture was very blurry. The scene was the porcelain floor under Shen Yi's feet.

"How did this start recording?" Shen Yi looked at the screen and didn't start recording the video immediately, so he was a little curious.

"You need to press this one of the touch keys to start recording." The employee pointed to a red button among the mess.

Now this product is still in the stage where it can barely be seen as an electrical appliance.

Everything is terrible, messy wiring, no aesthetics, even the record button is a red plastic button, not even a prompt.

But after all, it was Shen Yi who asked them to practice first.

After these poor materials are ready, continue to improve the wiring and layout.

Then we have to design the shell, find a factory to do it or assemble it manually, it can be said that it is easy to make but difficult to produce.

Shen Yi put forward his own views on this semi-finished product:

"I think manual recording is a bit uninteresting. Some users may forget to start recording after getting into the car if they are in an emergency.

And sometimes they don’t want to reach out and open it.

Another point is that they have to manually switch after stopping halfway, which will cause users to forget to record.

In this case, the driving recorder is useless, and the product must be easy to use.

Can you start recording video as soon as the car is powered on? "

After all, many recorders now have to be opened manually, which is very, very inconvenient.

I don't know if it's laziness, or my brain was pumped during the design. The product should be simple and easy to use when designing.

The employees also replied to Shen Yi: "Yes, there is no problem with this, it just takes a little time."

After hearing this, Shen Yi praised: "That's good. Now that you have experience, it will be very simple to do it next."

"I am optimistic about you, and try to make it as soon as possible, and then I will see if I can design a shell for it."

Shen Yi pondered, and asked the next question:
"What size is the TF card?"

"4g, let's do the math. It should be able to record five hours of video recording at 480p. Recording video at 720p can be recorded for one and a half hours."

The price of the current 4gTF card is around 70 yuan.

But this is the retail price, it is cheaper to go directly to the manufacturer to approve the goods.

So Shen Yi planned to discuss business in person.

It can avoid being like Xiaomi when making big moves in the future. Because it has not done hardware, it is not recognized by the hardware supply chain and has been reluctant to sign a contract with them.

Now that I have grasped all the software and hardware, when the time comes to discuss business with others, they will have reason to believe in me.

And even if the TF card is the most expensive thing here, materials such as lens and CMOS are much cheaper.

There is also a screen, even a 240p screen is fine, anyway, this screen is just for viewing.

Important data is stored in the TF card and can be transferred directly to the computer when needed. At this time, the screen of the recorder is useless.

"Okay, you go back and do it first."

Shen Yi sent the three of them away with his eyes.
