![Best 4K DashCam under $200? 70mai A810 Seems to be the ONE! [REVIEW]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HLOsd3UGitA/mqdefault.jpg)
Много благодаря за така изчерпателното обяснение. Търсех си камера за камиона и благодарение на теб я намерих. Thank you very much. This is my Dash Cam.
Радвам се, че видеото е помогнало! Пожелавам безаварийно и приятно шофиране 😉
@@TechMishka лесно ли се монтира задната камера? Как се прокарват самите кабели
Gracias! I was a minutes to buy the 70mai Pro but after watch this video I definitely buy this one!! Greetings from Chile
Hope you enjoy it!
Great review! You are very much knowledgeable with the must haves.
Glad it was helpful!
Very good video. You are the only one that answered my questions regarding the rear camera; specifically what does it look like and how to mount it. Now I will buy one.
Glad it helped
Thank you for the detailed explanations. Just placed the order after watching your video
pls tell me where do i get this in maharashtra ?
Glad it was helpful!
Spent last few hours searching for the world of Dashcams, mostly disappointed with their quality (as total beginner), saw some of your other useful reviews but THIS one got me sold out just when I thought I will go with VIOFO A119 V3 or VIOFO A129. Finally a 4K cam that doesn't look like absolute pixelated mess, thank you very much!
I'm on same boat as you, i just decided to buy this dashcam
Thanks mate! I was expecting this one to be good, it turned out to be very good! I like this sensor/chipset combo thanks to many action cam reviews.
Hello. Are you satisfied with it ?? I mean dash cam
Thanks for the review!
My pleasure!
Много ми стана приятно че ревюто на тази камера е от улиците на София.
Имах преди 70mai, сега минах на Azdome GS36, но точно това Ксаоми много ме влече.
Поздрави от Швейцария !
Еха, приятна изненада! Глобален свят сме вече...😎 Да, А800 е чудесен модел

A great and informative video. Thanks a lot. Buying it today.
Glad it was helpful!
liked the video before even started , great review as always , what an amazing dash cam it is
Much appreciated!
@@wordwarrior2350 Well you are I guess not me , plus I'm not English speaker dude and I was in hurry so I guess autocorrect didn't corrected first letter in cap plus does it really bothers you ?? Nobody will mind it except few people like you who love to comment irrelevant " education" commentary everywhere lol , have a nice day man
new subscriber here! gonna get this dashcam next week! thank you!
Thanks for the sub! And enjoy using your new awesome dashcam.
Great review! Where can I buy the clear adhesive you put between the camera and the glass?
It comes in the box 📦 😀
Or get random phone protectors and cut them into two pieces 👍
Great review Mihail!
Thanks mate!
is there a way of turning off the sound from the dashcam? like turning off the voice when it tells you there is movement ahead?
Hey, have you tested DDPAI Mini5 dashcam? Looks very interesting too and i am wondering between this 70mai and DDPAI wich would be better. I can't really find any reviews about DDPAI Mini5 except couple of record videos on youtube
I was planning to try it out. Let me see if I can get it done before Christmas.
Could you please also review the latest DDPAI mini 5 equipped with the same IMX415 image sensor but Hi3559v100 CPU to see which one is better? Thank you :)
I am planning to, but I cannot commit when exactly this can happen.
Thanks for the video! When you say the parking mode on battery lasts about 10 minutes, do you mean 10 min after you activate the parking mode, or 10 min after an incident occurs and the camera starts recording?
It is an approximate value and is meant to give you estimation about the total operating time. If accident occurs - the camera will record for a minute, then go back to sleep. Until the next accident.
Great efforts. Thank you
Thanks so much for the support, Qasim!
🤝Thank you for sharing and mentioning placing the dash cam in a position where the wipers will clean the windshield.
Always glad to be of help.
Great review! What would you choose between this and the viofo A129 Pro Duo? Or do you have any better recommendations for a dual dash cam at their price points? Thanks
As far as I see this is still cheaper than the Viofo. Image quality is comparable. Parking mode options are better with Viofo.
Hi there. Is it true that the 70Mai A800 4K is actually shared between the two front and read cameras? meaning the recording of each camera will be 2K as best?
Could you confirm.
Thank you
Sam
What about fast going car into you when overtaking, can it record your numbers. Since you and that car going fast both, enough frame rates?
Hello, one quick question...I have a Dacia Dokker with no rear window, and I was thinking to buy 70mai dascham wide to use as a rearview mirror.
However, for a small price increase, the 800s offers much more recording quality and features. My question is, do you think 800s can be used as a rearview mirror - mainly for quick checking rear dead spots, given the small display size? Also, can it start by default in rearview mode?
Thank you!
Very good question! Yes, it may be possible, but won't be perfectly visible on bright days.
To turn on the screen it only takes pressing of a button.
Thanks for the awesome video. I need your opinion on which is better to get, this a800 or the 70mai pro plus? Hope you can help me. Thanks.
Hey Philip - these two are really very similar, and you probably wouldn't notice any difference in the image quality.
Excellent details in this review. Thanks!
Glad it helps!
Great, thanks!
You're welcome!
Great video! I'm looking to purchase one of these as my old 70mai seems to be malfunctioning. Is it possible to turn off all the speech on the dashcam so that it is always silent?
You can mute the speaker, yes.
Since this isn’t available anymore on the indie go go link, what other dash cam would you recommend sir?
You can wait for a few weeks and it will appear on Aliexpress and Amazon.\
The 70Mai Pro is also a great dashcam.
Thanks for making this review. When recording on the road, does 70mai A800 give 2160 front & 1080 rear?
Now the front cam's resolution in the dual-vision recording is upgraded to 4K! 70mai.kckb.st/44daf7c3
Should already be possible, yeah
Homer Simpson Only without the rear camera. If you connect the rear camera the front only records in 2K. You can verify this in the settings. Connect rear camera and choose resolution. No 4K anymore.
Edit. It seems to have changed.
*In front-vision recording mode, the max resolution is 3840*2160. In dual-vision recording mode, the max resolution for front and rear view will be 2560*1600 and 1920*1080 respectively.
Since we have hit the 600K goal, our second stretch goal is unlocked - A800 front dash cam's resolution in dual-vision is upgraded to 4K now! For details, please check our updates.
@@homersimpson22 No it's not, I just got my camera from this campaign. When rear camera is attached front dash Cam is lowered to 2k and rear is 1080P. I know I have this cam and just got it a few days ago.
@@CZcams_Nr.1 Thats funny, because I just got my Cam from your Campaign a few days ago and It does not support 4k recroding when dual cameras are recording. only front is 2k and rear is 1080P. Do I need to return my A800 Did i get an older version or something? Please reply.
Very good video… 👍 When activating the parking mode on this dashcam, will it consume more car battery?
It consumes less than the usual amount.
Great Video. I have all 70Mai dash camera. Interested to buy this due to annoying problem with GPS base on 70Mai Pro. But it is seem we cannot hide speed indicator on this 70Mai A800.
pretty sure they will add such feature as part of the firmware.
The video is so clear. I guess you keep your windshield glass clean :).
Hahahhaa, not always!! 🤣 But I do my best.
Very nice review,thanks for sharing,new subscriber here..
Thanks for the sub!
4:33: good example how NOT to place the cable if your car has side airbags. Because the side airbags go from the A-pillar to the back side of the rear door, and the cable has to be placed somewhere crossing the airbag. That's why i removed the roof on the side a little and placed the cable behind the airbags... (no crossing the airbags at the A-pillar, where the cable goes to the front camera). The installation lasts longer but it worths for the safety.
Never thought of that and this is indeed a great point! Will make a note about that in future videos. The next dashcam video is already finished (about to be published in one or two weeks), but I promise the one after will have this info.
Hey, thanks for that review
I still didn't understand if there is a parking mode and if it does can you explain how it works?
Have a good week😇
There is. But it is based on the gravity sensors - only switches ON if there's impact or shake. So it will miss an actual accident and start filming after it.
@@TechMishka So do you mean it's exactly the same as in 70mai pro(The old generation)?
@@TechMishka So can I leave the camera always on recording when my car is parked for few hours? What Micro SD card will I require? Thanks.
Thanks for this video! Does the camera record the front AND the back at the same time or is it the front OR the back?
Both simultaneously.
@@TechMishka Good, thank's !!!
Hello and thank you for uploading this video. I have just obtained this dash cam after someone damaged my car in a car park and left without giving details. Looking forward to using it. I ask why the small plastic sheet between the car windscreen and the Dash Cam. Is it needed for a reason, or to keep the glass clean for clarity or something in connection with the installation?
Hey Paul, thank you for your comment. First of all - I am really sorry to hear about your car's accident.
As for the screen folio - this is a very smart idea - so that you actually stick the camera on the folio and not on the glass directly. Makes the removal much easier, and in most cases - keeps the adhesive tape reusable.
Hi Tech4all. If compare to Azdome M10 or AR08, which one the best. I need camera that can swivel in cabin.
Many thanks.
If you need a camera that swivels... There's something from Blueskysea you may check - B2K.
Hey! Do you know if you can watch live video from the rear camera on the main unit? Would be a useful feature if you could use it as a rear camera for parking as well.
Yes, of course. It is shown at some point during the video - that you can switch between front and rear using the buttons.
Много яко видео!
Все едно гледах National Geographic 😁😁
Рядко ми се случва да попадна на толкова детайлно изпипана обработка на видео, особено на бг youtube channel. Мисля, че с този клип реших дилемата, каква камера да си взема за колата. Благодаря за старанието, вече съм фен!
Успех! 👍👍🙂🙂
Хей Борис, много благодаря за чудесния коментар. МНого вдъхновяващ!
Камерите на 70Mai от този клас са наистина чудесни, дано да ти върши добра работа.
Hi.. I bought myself this exact same model recently.. thanks to your great review.. however, I need your help. I can’t playback the recording from the rear camera (rc06) on my iphone 8+ running ios14 after it’s exported from the 70mai app. Front camera recordings have no such problem. Only the rear one. Can you help? Thanks a lot.
Hmm, that's strange... Sounds like a codec issue. Is there VLC for IOS? if it is available - try opening it with VLC player.
@@TechMishka Thanks a lot for your response. I will try to check it out. Keep up the good job sir.. 👍
Hi.does it have parking protection on the rear camera as well or only on the front
Yes. It is triggered by an impact only, which is not ideal IMO.
Hi it's a good camera isn't it? One question the parking surveillance function works by itself? or do you have to install another cable? Thanks
For parking mode - you need to use the so called "hard wire kit".
Hi !! Which micro sd card to choose to get the best quality at 70 mai A800S with a 24 hour recording, at least thank you, excelent video.
Any U3 card should be fine. Class 10 cards would be fine too. I've used a Class 10 U1 Sandisk card in this video.
Hi Which Dashcam is the best option with the ADAS feature,time lapse and triggered by motion detection.please advise..thank you in Advance 🙏🙏
Check some of the latest Viofo models. If price doesn't matter - Thinkware have great options.
Hello, like your video ! I’d like to ask, is it possible to make the logo watermark and time disappear ?
As far as I remember it's possible to hide the logo.
what about rear camera, if I have toned foil on my rear window?
Can you instantly press a button and view rear camera ? So that you can use it as a backing up / parking camera.
Or do you have to click more to get into menu ?
Yes, you can simply press a button and use the rear camera as parking assistant.
How is it better to stick the cam, esp the rear cam: entirely keeping the lens behind the electrostatic sticker, or, parially keeping the lens out of the sticker? Is the sticker transparent enough to allow crisp shooting through it, or does it have anti-UV properties?
As far as I know it has no anti-UV properties and I try to get it out of sight.
I bought 1 of this recently and i m puzzled if it still has the voice command just like the previous 70 Mai Pro? Btw, how do i switch to rear monitoring on my 70mai app on the phone?
I read the manual and couldn't find any answers
No voice controls, sadly...
is the cam all time recording? or you just can see the emergency videos that was recorded (it only records emergency videos when the sensor recognizes sth)
It records all the time.
Which dashcam would you recommend for parking mode with motion detection. As someone tried to break into my trunk but there was hit collision so no recording took place
Sorry to hear about what happened to you, Shadab.
I think the Blueskysea dashcams are good for that.
@@TechMishka any particular model you would recommend. Or any videos you may have posted about it
@@TechMishka blueskysea b4k?
I think advanced buffering parking mode,
time lapse configuration and Motion detection are very important in any dashcam. What's your opinion though between this dashcam and the 4K dual channel Viofo?
The Viofo seems to be better option.
@@TechMishka Have you done any comparison side by side between those two?
What did you choose?
@@FERAS19881 I purchased two Viofo A119 V3 (front and back), after long research I couldn't find any dashcam (even 4K) that could beat the V3 when it comes to video quality day and night, specially capturing license plates when zoomed.
@@seekfactsnotfiction9056 It’s better than Viofo A129 Plus Duo or Pro duo?
Hi, I bought a rear camera a800s and I wanted to know if from the application on the phone I can see the rear camera. in real time like the one in front.can you help me ? thank you
You can try swiping - it should switch between the cameras.
Which would you recommend between viofo a119 v3, a129 duo and this?
I'd probably go for either this one, or the A129.
A129 Not available in india
Sorry please I know this isn't related to the video,but do you still have the umidigi a5 pro and does it still work ok
I no longer have it; A friend of mine still uses his and is pretty happy with it!
Hi, the live video can view on app even you are far away? Like go overseas
No; In order to have such a feature, you need mobile data. it will soon be launched with 70Mai Omni.
Konumları nasıl görebiliriz mesela nerden nereye gitmişiz ve ya o anda videoda neredeyiz harita olarak gösteriyor mu ?
You have to use the smartphone app to get info about the routes.
How to record a emergency video ? Because I didn’t see extra buttons on the unit. Unless have voice command “ rec emergency video “ ?
There are buttons at the bottom and one of them can mark a video as emergency video.
Can we see the rearview on the screen while reversing the vehicle? Is there any button to change the view to the rear on screen?
You can switch that using the buttons or keep it as a default setting.
Hi, sir a800s the speed is not accurate as per the car meter.
How can we make this correct?
The other is I set the dashcam off after 5min in the parking. sir the dashcam will start automatically when we start driving.
I am not using hardwire not required 24 hrs surveillance.
have u got a purchase link for uk residents
Not yet, Yasir. It will appear on Amazon eventually.
So does this cam able to save recorded video prior accident without we command or push any button on it?
Yes, fully automated. You start the car and the dashcam starts.
Hey, what's your current main dash cam at the moment? And thanks for the review, especially for mentioning about parking mode only relies on collision event.
I still use the DR900s. My wife has the DDPAI Mini 3
Just bought it, the quality is amazing but I wish that it had time lapse for the parking surveillance and voice assist like the other models.
Totally agree
What are time laps and voice assistance? thanks
Great review.,.,.is it possible to have 4 camera setup, this would be awesome
Not with this one. But there are some triple-camera dashcams.
@@TechMishka how can I get it
I want to put the dash cam on the far right side of the windshield because my wipers do not reach high enough (in the middle of the windshield) to wipe the window in front of the dash cam and I do not want to have dash cam in the middle of the windshield. But I do not know if the viewing angle is good there. Is it possible for you to take some photos with the dash cam from far right side of the windshield and posti them? They would be very helpful.
It should be fine there - the viewing angles with this one are generally good.
hello, would you recommend 70mai over transcend dashcams? (if you have tried one)
I haven't tried Transcends models. 70Mai are good though
Hi! I have A800S installed since one week, I can't find the dual video recording option.....possible removed on latest editions?
If you have the rear module - it will record it automatically. If it doesn't - I would suspect a cable issue.
When will it be officially released?
I thought it was already for sale on AliExpress but then I noticed (Pre Sale)
I have two cars and thinking of buying Viofo A129 pro duo
or should I wait for 70mai A800 ?
Likely it will take another month or two.
I have that Viofo and it is excellent - you won't regret it.
Any update whether there's time lapse for park mode?
Not with the current firmware :(
Great video
Thanks, Piotr!
I have bought this dashcam, its so.ply great.
It is indeed!
You mentioned parking mode without the hardwire kit is available for 10 minutes. Did you mean 10 minutes worth of recording? Or 10 minutes from the moment you shut off the engine?
Correct - around 10 minutes worth of recording.
Hey..Can you suggest me any dash good good for recording...Clear..no problem..long time recording...or any good reason if i buy it...Under 150$dolars?important things easy to install
This one is a pretty good choice.
Cu ce aplicatie pot vizualiza un traseu ( driving route) parcurs daca am o camera 70MAI A 800S?
The 70Mai app. Download the files and connect to the internet so that it downloads the data from Google Maps too.
@@TechMishka Am descărcat un videoclip de 2 minute. Cum in trag in Google maps? Cu aplicația 70 MAI nu pot....
What about night footage from rear cam? Does it have lots of artifacts?
It has artifacts but quality is rather good imo
I have some problem that speed and location doesnt show same like your video at 4:52.. any suggestion how to fix that.. thank you
This is because of firmware. Try to make an update.
Ya.. already updated, event the ADAS also not working..
Do we need to hardwire it inorder to enjoy the GPS / ADAS feature?
Not needed.
Ridiculously great dash camera!
Crazy, right! I didn't expect it will actually perform that well in low light without a Starvis sensor.
@@TechMishka do you expect 8k dashcam?
@@LyashenkoSergiy 8K true sensor would be a downgrade for the purpose of dashcam, the footage will be 4 times bigger and the light photons will compete harshly. 4k is maybe an overkill, but the only benefit is to see the plate numbers better.
@@sarfios I am sure that we will see the 8K dashcams pretty soon.
@@LyashenkoSergiy Very likely, but just as marketing trick.
Hi tech4all, what mid level dash cam do you reccomend at this level? I agree with you on this 70mai in that its not suitable for parking mode. IMO an excellent parking mode is essential.
I like a lot the good old DDPAI mini 3.
@@TechMishka thank you. Then that is the one I shall buy.
But even ddpai mini 3 does need hardwiring for parking monitoring.
@@prabhuiyer i think they all the dash cams may need to be hard wired in order for parking mode, which sucks a bit. I haven't found one that doesn't as yet.
@@gdog4323 You have 70Mai pro and Akaso Trace 1/ Pro don't require hardwiring. The lithium ion batteries does 24 hr parking surveillance on it's own, even when the car is off, for good 2-3 days. Only capacitor based dashcams need hardwiring.
Hello,
I would greatly appreciate it, if you would be so kind as to tell me whether the dash cam overheats in the summer time or not, also some general info you might add after owning and using the product for a few months.
I thank you in advance and have a wonderful day 😁
Hey, thanks for the question. I used it for about two weeks during the summer in one of the hotter areas in my country.
Still - if you want peace of mind - check models with a supercapacitor.
What improvements does it have over the previous model?
Check the video for more details. New processor, new sensor, rear camera module...
I drive for uber and I would like to know if the voice feature can be turn off, I wouldn't like to hear that ever time I'm in s red light? Can someone please answer me. Thanks
Yes, you can shut these sounds off. Most dashcams support such a feature.
I have 70mai 1s in my car and thinking to upgrade to a800s. My question is, whether a800s can connect with the 1s. Thanks for your answer.
No way to connect the 1S to A800s.
How does the rear camera talk to front the camera? How is it wired
With a cable - you can see it during the installation part.
does it record both front and rear camera at the same time? or only 1 camera at a time
Records both at the same time.
Bought it and installed today. Unfortunately not able to download the video footages into my iPhone via the app. The app shows down to app_album, couldn't find this folder in my phone.
I am not familiar with the iPhone app. But you can easily copy the files to a computer.
Българин си , супер.
👍
Can I use the live footage of the rear camera for reverse parking?
Yes, it can be helpful.
@@TechMishka cool thanks, at least it's 2 in 1 , dash cam and a reverse camera
Did someone test the parking mode for rear camera? Will that one “activate” itself and start to record as the front one?
THey work the same way - based on the gravity sensor of the front one. There needs to be some sort of impact to trigger it.
If you’ve made this test ,then it’s good..but some are saying that only the front one is providing the parking images in case of an parking impact, let’s say
does this camera have possibility to lock some recording ? because if something happend you need original file and buying every time new sd card is expansive thanks a lot
Yes you can mark a recording as an "emergency" recording and it will be placed in a read-only folder.
@@TechMishka thanks and this folder will be never rewrited yes even if memory is out?
Can you switch on the display when parking to rear camera?
Yes, you can
is it possible to use a IR rear camera from a different brand ?
Not sure if this will work - but it might be possible.
Доброго времени суток! Подскажите пожалуйста, купил 70mai a800s, но на видеозаписях не отображается скорость и координаты((
Должно отображаться само по себе или только когда телефон подключен по Wi-Fi? Какой тогда смысл в том, что GPS встроен в видеорегистратор?
It has a GPS in built, so it should be available. Check the settings - might be that it is not enabled to display the speed info
thanks for the video , you said it supports up to 128 gb of sd card , but i researched and some users say it supports up to 256 gb , so i'm confused here , any thoughts ?
It may work - better try.
Olá, já colocou micro SD 512 GB na 70mai a800s? Compatível?
My same camera shows videos blury i guess my micro sd card is not fast enough. i guess u3 will help what you think? I have samsung 128gb pro U1.
if the microSD card was the problem, there were about to be drops of frames or unreadable files.
If videos are blurry - check if you have removed the lens folio protection. If it's still bad - might be something wrong with the lens itself.
I know that the gravity trigger isnt to your liking. They haven't figured out how to give precognition so it knows when the accident will happen and turn b4 the event. Will that work 4u?
I believe the best option will be enabling time-lapse.
Other dashcams can record all the time and will record on top of old footage, does this one do that? on both sides? or is that the missing time lapse you talk about?
All modern dashcams do that. The timelapse function was meant to be used during parking mode. Unfortunately - it's been disabled in the recent firmwares.
Early motion detection is a must. How can you prove anything after the fact. Without it, it totally defeats the purpose of having this cam.
Yeah, totally agree with you!
so what is your major cam ?
