Android

— registrars running the Android operating system.

Recall that not every firmware is called the operating system. A full-fledged OS provides the registrar with an extensive set of additional features (often very far from the original purpose), which can be further expanded by installing additional applications. In fact, the presence of an "OS" turns the recorder from a simple car video camera into a multifunctional device — to the point that some of these models can be removed from the mounts and used as tablets.

As for Android, it is the most popular mobile operating system nowadays. It has an open source code, which makes it easy to create various applications, as well as optimize the system itself, even for such specific equipment as video recorders. Also note that models with Android necessarily have touch screens and wireless modules for accessing the Internet — Wi-Fi, sometimes also 3G / 4G modems (see "Additional"). The Android brand store offers a very extensive set of applications, many of them run without problems even on registrars; and for models with specific hardware characteristics, specialized software may be produced. You can find different versions of this OS on the market, but in the case of DVRs, the difference lies mainly in compatibility with certain applications. It makes no sense to describe the rest of the functional differences between the versions in detail: the Android editions used in DVRs are often so heavily modified that the difference between the Android versions is practically lost against the background of these modifications.
