Great video, thanks! Just received mine (front+back+hw kit), so far so good. Still need to install the hardwire to the fuse box tho.
Hopefully you will like the image quality a lot!
The review that answers all questions. Thanks a lot
I am so happy you got all the info you are looking for!
Great video , I’m gonna buy a 70Mai pro plus front & rear cam with hardwire kit and have that professionally installed today. Hope it will be a good purchase..
Sounds great! Hope you will like it a lot!
Hey neighbour, thanks for awesome video!
With this video I just made decision to order this camera.
Greetings from Nis / Serbia!
Favorite place I'd love to visit again soon. Warm regards, my friend! Hope you will enjoy using the camera and it will serve you well.
Is the USB port connected to the camera Mini USB or the Micro USA? Can the beeping sound be turned off when the dashcam is initially powered?
Is there LED Light Indicator
in the USB Charger
which is to be connected
in the 12v socket?
Nice video! Is the rear camera attached with an electro-static sticker like the front one? It seems like it's just glue? Can it be repositioned without loosing adhesiveness?
You can use a folio for the rear one too. And yes - of you carefully un-stick it can be used again.
Great review. Any idea if they will return the time-lapse recording function? I just got mine and it doesn’t have the time-lapse mode which is the main reason I got this dash cam.
Yeah, same here! I was just planning to use it as primary dash cam and then... no time-lapse. I don't know for sure, though 😔
has this returned???!!!
i just ordered one and this was 50% of the reason...
the other part was speed overlay on the video, which i still havent confirmed works on the video from the fron camera too... (could you possibly confirm this?)
I read that timelapse was disabled to stop the unit becoming too hot.
int-bbs.70mai.com.cn/?thread-963.htm
Great review. I would like to confirm one of the drawbacks mentioned at 8.26, about "no motion detection". I assume it's about a trigger when on parking surveillance mode to start recording video, is this assumption correct? And 1 more thing if I may confirm, is there a shock detection feature when on parking surveillance mode that starts emergency recording?
About the parking mode - yes, your assumption is correct. Once a shake is being detected, it begins emergency recording.
@@TechMishka But only with the hardware kit installed? What's the battery for, then? On the previous Pro model it was used mainly for the surveillance mode.
Really great review man!
I would like to ask you, which one you recommend between this and the 70mai A800 or viofo a129 pro at this moment, thank you!
I have recently noticed that with the latest update the timelapse option is gone. Because of that I'd go for the VIOFO.
@@TechMishka thank you!
@@TechMishka Do you know what was the last version fw that supported time lapse? 70mai hugely dissapointed as it was the main reason for purchase...
@@TechMishka can you explain what is timelap and why is important ☺️ is viofo imagine as good as mai70 what should I just wait for the next version that comes out
Nice vid! How long is the cable to the rear mod?
Not sure about the lengths. There's about a meter left when I install on a car that is 4.40m long.
great review
Thank you
Pretty good review, thank you. Is there a solution which makes the rear camera removable? Travelling from Hungary to Austria this is a must have option (dash cams are banned, the fines are astronomic)
Thanks mate!
There is no QR option, but you can always use cheap smartphone screen protector folios to help you with that.
Is it banned on border or in Austria in general?
@@edvinas8621 general
Hello, how have you managed to bring the edition to 16:9 and what operation did you perform so that the information on the time, km/h and coordinates is not visible in the final video? I would also like to know if this same thing can be avoided with the camera. rear, since I understand that this information appears in all videos by default. Thank you so much.
You set the resolution to something that is 16 x 9 - like 1920 x 1080. In the settings you can switch to km/h
Is the display large enough to see the picture of the reversing camera during parking? I had a mirror dash cam but unofrtunatelly it was not reliable and often freezed, is the firmware of this camera stable enough? Is it possible to turn off the display during driving?
You can see the rear unit, however it really depends on the angle if it will be useful as parking monitor.
The firmware is perfectly stable and each feature I've tried worked flawlessly.
The display can be turned on or off at any point of time by pressing the main button, and you can configure it to automatically go off in 30, 60 or more seconds.
Thank you
Great review.
Thank you!
Is there an extension available for the rear camera as my car is larger than most, Mits Pajero and does the rear camera come on automatically when reversing? Thanks
Not that I know... Perhaps you can get a spare cable and ask someone to extend it for you.
Евала бе брато,Цариградско шосе exlenent video.
Еее, коментар от България ♥️
Nice footage and camera, what city was this filmed in? 🙂
Thanks Glen! All the footage is from Sofia, Bulgaria.
@@TechMishka: Thanks Michael, very nice looking city.
How would you rate the parking guard mode since it does not have a motion sensor? Is it realiable if you don't use the hardwire kit? Did you test the parking guard?
If you want a camera for parking mode - better look for something else.
@@TechMishka thanks for your answer, maybe give a suggestion similar in price with dual cameras? I am currently using a Apeman Dual (c430 i think is the model)
Good Review! can you rotate the dash cam to take pictures from the cabin?
There is no way to do it. Rotating angle is limited.
first, very cool to see a review on the exact same streets 95% of my driving is done every day!! XD
second, Questions:
1st the hardware kit is included or is it an extra choice in ordering?? (i ordered it a few hours ago, and i just realised i think its not inlcuded...)
2nd and my most important, does the speed overlay work on the front recorded video too? both in your review and a couple others i saw the speed info on the rearview camer video...
i haavent ordered a rear camera for now, but i want the speed overlay in the front video anyway
thanks for the review and the possibel answer in advance
Wow 😎 Sounds like we live in the same city.
1. The hard-wire kit is not included. Might need to be ordered additionally.
2 not sure about the speed overlay with single module. The other 70Mai models support it, so it likely will be there.
Hey i have a question. I bought this camera but because it’s connected to the car’s hardwire system and not the ciggarette slot, it suggests to set the settings to “automatically turn off after 5 minutes”. That means after it turns off, i’ll have to manually turn it on everytime i start the car again. Is there any way around this?
No - it means that the camera will go into standby mode after 5 minutes. THis is the better option. You don't want recordings of the car being parked during the night.
heyy bro, i have the one without the plus, but the image is like kinda grainy.... is there any setting to do ? because i have 1 from aliexpress and cheaper (20euros) its much better than this as an image. i know the mai is better but maybe i have some settings messed up?
It should be good enough with the default settings. Might be something wrong with the unit - maybe you can ask for a replacement?
@@TechMishka i think i found the problem. its because the lens is not close enough to the windscreen, it grabs reflections (from dashboard and what reflects in the windscreen) the one from ali express i mentioned it was too close to the windscreen so it dont grab reflections. thanks for ur reply bro
Това е българският коментар който търсите :D Поздрави!
Само така, Вики! И да последваш канала "Джаджи", където ще пускаме сходни материали.
Great Video. Waow.
Question, what's the maximum capacity MicroSD card we can use on this dash cam device? 128Gb ?
I think 128GB is indeed the maximum.
@@TechMishka so we can go with 128Gb. I just happen to find in the online manual, upto 64Gb only. So, really confused..
Am I right that the 70mai Pro+ is the best dashcam with rear camera about 100 USD? I value fairly good quality, using the rear cam for parking and park surveillance (but for that I probably use a powerbank since the batteries aren't that big.
Well - I think so.
get the hardwire kit if you want park surveillance
Hey man, great review. No time wasted. What do you think of the A800S model , is it worth the price difference in your opinion ?
Thanks , поздрави :)
Hey, thanks for the question! I like a lot both cameras and they record very good and quality videos; only drawbacks are the parking monitoring setups.
Поздрави и за теб! :)
@@TechMishka what's wrong with parking mode?
Which one should I go for? The mini or the pro plus? 😣 in my country it’s 20$ different from the pro plus.
Depends on what you want. I had 70Mai with my old car and it was great. Good image, easy transfer of video. And it was only 28euros from aliexpress when i bought it.
@@edvinas8621 I see if you say so I’m more confident with 70mai
@@JasonMP9121 it depends on what you want from it, 70mai does all you need for a dashcam while maintaining small profile that won't attract attention of druggies lol
Both will be fine. The Mini should be much cheaper though.
Great review, should i buy A800s or 70Mai pro plus?
That's a tough question... Both are excellent. I tend to like the Pro Plus a bit more.
Great job thanks 😊, does it have gps build in
Shown in the review. Yes, GPS is supported.
Very nice presentation. My device heats up pretty strongly, is that normal?
Yes, this processor can be warm sometimes.
Can you make a recording without connecting the cam to the cigarette charger or hardwire it? I'm not really keen to have some dangling wires. I see in the specs it has 500mAh battery, but in all reviews it's plugged in to a power source and nobody mentions it. Or is this battery only for the 24h surveillance feature?
You can make, of course. However the embedded battery will last only for limited amount of time - around 10-20 minutes. You can always use a power bank too. But is clearly not convenient option.
Did the dashcam record both front and rear concurrently during parking mode??
Yes, it does.
70mai A800 or pro plus A500S which one would you get ?
There don't seem to be many differences. THey are almost the same.
A500S have a rear camera and 2.7K recording front, and back 2K, A800 have 4K. A800S have back camera, same as A500S (2K recording).
If i have the regular cable for the car lighter, would the camera turn off after turning off my vehicle? or do I have to press power off button?
you can set the camera to auto turn off after 10 or 20 min after no motion. when you get back to your car you have to manually turn it back on. this is solved if you power it via the hardwire kit
If the electricirty there drops - yes. There also is mode where the power feed to the lighter stays. Just as Alexandre explains.
car lighters are wired to cut power when you turn off the car
@@borges87 so if power on cigarette lighter is cut off, camera goes to sleep and later when car is started and power restored camera does not turn on again? You really have to turn it on manually each time you get into the car?
does it come with the clear tape underneath? if not, where can i get it? thanks.
Yes, it does
@@TechMishka thanks :)
Hi
1.How can I record the front and rear screen ratio with 16:9?
My a500s's screen ratio is always 4:3.
2. Can I see the rear screen on the wi-fi connected phone?
I wonder about 16:9 setting too. Did you find out?
Good questions!
1. Didn't find a way. If 1080p resolution is present - then it will be the 16 x 9 ratio.
2. Yes, you will see real-time image.
Do you need to hardwire it in order to use the parking mode if your cars cigarette lighter has constant power?
No need.
nice video, I have 70mai Pro+ too but how come when I viewing my footage that only shows 4:3 (square) but not 16:9 (wide)?? any settings I need to do? my video resolution is 2592x1944.
Do the maths and you will find out why. Use 1920 x 1080.
@@TechMishka yeah it cuts sky and cockpit.
How did you get the route at 6.44 minute? I searched for it on the app but I didn't find it... Great rewiew!
You need to get some of the files downloaded. Then disconnect from the camera and the app should generate the routes based on the GPS data from the fines. I did nothing - just waited.
Hi. Today I bought 70mai Dash Cam Pro Plus without rear cam. Can I buy a separate rear cam and install it with this device. They had only one micro usb port. Thanks in advance. By the way, excellent video.
Hey Boris, cobgratulations about your purchase!
If you buy an extra module that you are certain is designed for this model - it should work. Note that I haven't tried this whole operation myself.
Wht if i install it in cigar charger will it still record if any shocks absorbed by the car while in parking?
It will be able to rely on the internal battery for this, however it will hardly last for more than 20 minutes worth of recording.
Hello , that camera can be used like webcam also ? thanks
No...
instead of messing with the additional wires to connect to you car battery would it be possible to hook it up to a power bank ???
Yes, but it will last for limited amount of time and is a bigger battery which can eventually explode...
@@TechMishka already bought a power bank and it does well in recording no hassles
yes the cam unit does get hot but the bank is just fine
Hi... Do you know why can't it store more than the current day? Every time I'm using the camera all the previous recordings are gone, there is nothing else except what was recorder "today"...
Use a larger microSD card. Sounds like yours gets full
Hi! Thank you for this review. I recently got the 70mai Dash Cam Pro Plus+ A500S. However, I do not have the "Driving route data synchronization" button, I only have "Take Photo" and "Albums" button. But when I try to sync via settings / automatic sync, successful naman po sya. Btw, version 2.0.2 po yung app ko. Any help would be appreciated! 💖
hmmm... Maybe you can just connect and download whatever routers are present, then connect the phone to the internet and it should download the rest of the data from Google Maps.
Hi, do you know the length of cable for rear camera?
I think it's 5 meters. Not sure of the exact measurement but it's really very long. I had quite a bit of extra cable left when I installed mine.
Great review! Is A500S different from A500? If yes, what's the difference? Thanks!
After a few searches it seems the a500 does not support the rearcam module in case you buy it separately. It doesn't have the rearcam port
Thanks for the help on this, Andrei!
@@TechMishka you're welcome
@@AeiKei oh i see? Maybe that's why the a500 sold here doesn't have rear cam! Thankies!
@@annkuku7779 a500 is the same pro plus just without the rearcam port or the rearcam. It seems the original pro version has been discontinued and the pro plus is the new revision, sold in 2 versions: a500 and a500s
At 70mai Pro when I download video in my pc I can't see speed and GPS coordinates (it's available only on camera). It's the same at A800 and A500Plus+ ?
Do you have a GPS module installed?
@@TechMishka Yes and it shows coordinates only when I watch clips directly on camera. When I download on pc it shows me only date and hour.
How does this compare with VIOFO duo a134 or 129?
Image quality is almost the same.
Is it true that voice control isn't available in the pro plus?
That's right - no voice control.
@@TechMishka Previous 70Mai versions did not like the Australian accent for some reason. Couldn't use anyway 😎😆🇦🇺
Surprised they went back to the old Novatek NT96580 chipset from the HiSense Hi3556 V100 in the 70mai Pro?
That's a good question...
can we use the rear dashcam preview to reverse the car. I don't have a parking camera
Yes, you can.
How is the battery on standby. The problem that I have with my current dash cam is that overnight the battery discharges and it resets the time and it records on the same 5 min loop all over, since after the reset thats the latest video date.
It can last for about 20 minutes. Haven't had an issue with date resetting.
Hi there. With both the front and rear cameras can they be easily removable (when not in use) and reattach (when in use)?
The front one is easy to remove. For the rear one - you have to use extra adhesive.
Does it detect shock in parking mode and starts record for few seconds like Xiaomi S1?
Correct.
How long the maximum video can recorded in 128GB disk?
Videos are split in smaller files. At most you can record up to 5 minutes.
So how many 5 minutes each file can 128Gb micro sd can accomodate?
Bom dia
Qual App para IPhone? Pois o 70mai não funcionado, conecta mais não aparelha.
Pode me ajudar com essa informação?
The iPhone app should work fine, but I haven't tested it myself.
The 4:3 frame is really a deal-breaker. Did you have to crop the upper and the lower part every time?
I did! :) But I believe there should be a regular 1080p mode too.
No motion detection means no collision detection? So what if so someone hit the car when at park? Can we trace back the footage?
There is collision detection, however it is based on the gravity sensor - if there's a shake, it will start recording. It will be however after the event.
nic evideo thanks
Most welcome
I see you have widescreen. I bought this camera and it have 4:3 screen. How to make video wider? Thanks
Select 1920 x 1080p resolution.
Where did you hire the installer? Can i have the contact details? Great video by the way 👌🏻
😎😎 The installer would love to help when needed. Feel free to send me an email.
Can you do a tutorial about removing that static sticker?
Get some cord - will be much easier.
Is this dashcam even better than the Viofo A119 v3? Thanks!
Depends on the point of view... it is a little smarter than it. Image quality of A119 v3 is superb.
does this camera record continuously?
Yes, it does.
I have both A500s and A800s. Overall it is below standard in video quality as the bit rates is way too low. There are more setback on A800s then A500s.
A800s setback include but not limited to ....
1. Even using Sandisk Extreme Pro V30 U3 rated memory card, unit still says sd card is too slow
2. The My-Driving Route is no way visible or available, don't know why
Overall the dashcam is a great investment
Hey Sam tan, thanks for the comment. Kind of weird for the issues with cards that you have. I used a standard class 10 and it was fine...
The driving route will appear after you download a video to the app, then disconnect the camera and make sure the phone has internet connection.
@@TechMishka standard class 10 for a500s
then use u3 to a800s 🙂
We purchased mai 70 pro plus 4 months ago. Purchased from Lasada. the cam is not working. first said memory disk failure so we replaced it. Said format, we did, now goes off and on and is hot. battery is ok. Supplier said past warranty period and he knows nobody that can repair it. we are in the Philippines and have become frustrated because there is no post sales support we can find.. We certainly would not recommend this product and would greatly appreciate any help you could give us.
Hey Jennifer - if it;s purchased 4 months ago - make sure to follow up with the person who sold it to you.
Can dashcam be used only with hardware kit?
Yes, you can use it with Hardwire kit.
What about the mai70 a800s 4k?
Is it worth it?
For 110$
Yup, excellent one.
rear camera also can record? or just act like a rear cam?
Yes, both modules record.
Is the rearview camera can be remove?
Yes, you can remove it.
May you create a tutorial for the hardwire installation?
I'll see what I can do about it.
Help! Got the 70mai dash cam pro plus +rear cam set. Everything going well and Then I pulled the chip to review the data. Now I don r get back up cam when recording. Have I changed the setup? Anyone got a # for customer service?
Quite strange. Are you sure the connector is well installed?
can i use rc05 reverse cam for this
Not sure about this, mate.
Can't get the GPS and speed info displayed. Iam guessing a defect unit. The route also not able to see.
There should be an option in the firmware to show it up. Or you may be right and there is a hardware trouble.
@@TechMishka I sent back to supplier to check. Hope they send back a good unit :)

Да, ако колата ти е паркирана в непосредствена близост. Т.е практически това е почти невъзможно.
can we rotate its camera 360 to take picture inside the car
No - the rotation of this one is limited too.
Understand that you can only view the footage in 4:3 format if set to the highest resolution. How to view it in 16:9 format?
You can always crop it with a software.
@@TechMishka Thanks but the ones in youtube videos were they cropped before being posted? I mean to view it in real time.
nice video ! i think they have removed the time lapse feature in the pro plus+
Unfortunately, I have the same problem, after installing the last update, corelated with the disappearance of the voice controls. Hope that a new update will resolve these inconveniencies.
Yeah, noticed the same thing. Kind of annoying...
How can I turn off the welcome sound on the camera?
Check the smartphone app settings.

Is it possible to disable 70mai watermark?
I don't see such an option in the app.
Hi..how to make gps like 6.43..tq bro
The smartphone app automatically downloads the maps once your phone is connected to the internet.
Good dash cam but for some reason, sometimes it will enter a restart loop. On for a couple seconds then off then comes back on for a few seconds then off.
Seems like a power source issue. Check the cable or try another one.
You Didn’t mention about the storage !
You choose the size of your microSD card.
How to install in two cars?
And use the same app? Hm, good point. SOme phones have the feature of cloning smartphone apps.
According to the manufacturer data the camera supports up to 128GB cards, did someone try higher capacity cards with this camera ?
I haven't...
If you are bulgarian your english is very good.

no voice control?
This one doesn't have voice control.
It’s not connecting to my iPhone ☹️. Help me plz
It’s say it is connected with wifi but there is no wifi logo. And when you go back to 70mai app it’s say connecting requests time out.
Location services ON? If that doesn't help - ask the 70mai team for help.
Hello my friend, can you withstand high temperatures, Gulf weather, with thanks
I'd go for a device with super capacitor.

Please Help. Thank You.
Oh, that part annoyed me too a little bit. So - you have to connect the app and get a list of the files inside the dashcam. Then, after you download one or two of them and disconnect, the app will use internet and based on the GPS input will generate the routes for you.

Currently there are no giveaways announced. It's quite a hassle to send devices with batteries these days anyways...

Don't think China cares less for tiny action cams, diving lights, torches or even big gimbals and drone batteries with large battery capacities either in most cases! Some Chinese sellers won't ship batteries alone, only installed in the unit.
