70mai - A500S

Got a 70mai A500S front and rear. 275 including install and 25 more for him to come to me to install so €300 total. https://autoelectriciancork.ie/dash-cams/

Can vouch for a500s. Bought it 4 years ago and it served me well. No issues till date( fingers crossed)

Kung 70mai A500S yan, I think mas magandang alisin mo sa mount pag magtatagal ka na nakapark sa init, sa pagkakaalam ko, hindi pa Super capacitor yan, meron syang Lithium battery, di tulad ng super capacitor, it can withstand extreme heat and lower temps na kahit ibilad or mabilad sa init, hindi magkakaproblema in the long run. If hindi hassle alisin yung dashcam temporary slapra sayo, mas mainam na alisin mo muna siya parati.

I've been using 70mai brand for 3 years now since I bought my car. 70mai a500s specifically. Camera quality is really good for its price, never had an issue ever since.

70mai a500s(https://amzn.eu/d/dq6qDVK) have this for almost 5 years now, bought from Amazon still works good. Take note that when I'm at work, my car is parked under the sun. You also you got the back camera as well. (A bit of challenging to install though) If you want to have the 24hrs monitor, get the hardwire kit but it gets technical. I'm only using the normal USB.

I also got the use for it on 2 minor accidents 🤣

I’m quite a fan of 70mai cameras, cheap and good quality. Bought both mine off AliExpress and they’ve been great. I’ve got an a500s and an a510, the 510 is much newer, but not sure if that’s the current model or not. $113 delivered was what I paid for that one in 2024 and $133 for the older one back in 2022. They just connect in with an included 12v (cigarette lighter) adapter, they don’t have batteries (so only run when the car is on), but you can have them wired directly to your car battery if you know what you’re doing or can find someone to do it.

I second this. I’m using this too

70mai a500s gamit ko for more than 2 years na. Goods pa din naman and ang napalitan ko lang yung internal battery nya since narereset na yung date and time. Not a fan of rear view mirror style na dashcams since gusto ko pa din magamit yung rearview mirror as intended. Pwede sya sa cigarette port or usb. On my Xpander, meron akong inverter sa likod na cigarette port. That inverter has 2 usb ports and 1 outlet. Dun sa usb port ng inverter ko sinaksak yung 70mai dashcam and pinagapang ko yung wires papunta sa harap sa mga gilid gilid. Same with the rear cam. Buti mahaba yung default wires ng 70mai.

I've been using the 70mai a500s for close to 2 years now, never had an issue. The recordings are clear, and it handles heat alright. I have not hardwired it to the car battery though and probably will not.

Wires can easily be tucked into corners of your interiors, hardwiring it would be to the battery which I'm iffy about, it does come with battery protection but I don't trust it. Also, usually just seeing the dash cam is enough of a deterrent

Have the [70mai Front/Rear](https://a.co/d/cEjmATQ) in a similar setup except the dashcam is mounted on the left (driver's) side. That's incase I need to press the "Emergency Record" button as it's not voice-activated.

I have been using this one ( https://a.co/d/6TRvmqR) for a while now and have been pretty satisfied with its performance. I do have seperate front and rear cam but 70mai been pretty decent for me so far

im using 70mai a500s for over a year now, so far no issue, clear naman videos at madali idownload

70Mai is good - I've one in the CX5, front and rear cameras - and bought direct from AliExpress - retailers here sell the same thing, just for more. Do the math. Also the Viofo seem to be getting traction well - pick anything with the Sony Starvis sensor really - they're good in day and great at night.

Running the cables from front to back is fairly straightforward if you're comfy with pulling the trim off ie kick boards and edge trims etc ... I installed a 70Mai a500s, front and rear camera set. The only tricky bit was threading the extender cable for the rear camera thru the hatch grommet... took some patience and a thin metal rod to get through the long grommet, to pull the cable thru.. once that was done, just set the camera up high looking back. I used the bought the extra power cabling for 'always on' mode In essence, rear cabling not that bad, just the rear grommet is a pita but not impossible.. just don't rush it, and don't pierce the grommet wall as you pass the rod thru to pull cables thru it... I'll see if I can find the YT video explaining this bit..

I have the 70mai a500s (or the Pro Plus+ as they call it). I considered it like paying for insurance. You pay for it and hope you never need to use it. And paying more for better quality/ dual channel like paying for the add-ons. The basic camera can prove you are not liable in a crash. A better quality one can catch number plates (in case of hit and run or smth). And a dual channel can catch rear end collisions. Also a small tip: keep voice recording on and in case of a crash, read out the number plates, just in case the camera did not capture it you can get it from the audio. Sidenote, do not chase after hit and runners. A fender bender could become something worse in their attempt to get away.

I paid about 12k. It was for sale during bug billion for about 10k

My friends have bought the same one I have. Only have good things to say about 70mai other than the emergency video recordong being a bit too sensitive. Also have heard good things about ddpai.

Nope. It goes from the lighter port, behind the dashboard, through the a pillar and through the headliner to the cam. And th rear channel just goes through the edge of the headliner near the doors to the back. If you have curtain airbags, you have to put the wires behind the airbags so it doesn't impede the deployment.

Yeah, my a500 has been great so far.

70 Mai a500s dashcam. It has front and rear camera recording. Connect it to your car’s fuse box and enable “parking surveillance”

I have a 70mai front+rear dash cam. It's awesome, love it. It was about $120 on AMZ.

I have 70mai dual channel dash cam Working pretty well since two years Costed me around 10.5 K

Had 2 Nextbase 622 and they were shite plus crazy expensive. Purchased 2 70 mai front and rear cams for a quarter of the price and they are miles ahead. That said Viofo are excellent, if you follow Ashley Neal on YT he has discount codes.

Yes, 70mai na 2 camera I think is the best, but medyo expensive. IMO worth it.

Get a 70mai dual channel dashcam that fits your budgets (preferably with a Sony Starvis 2 sensor) with hardwire kit. Just make sure that the hardwire kit is for the OBD2 port and not the fuses because hardwiring to fusebox may void warranty in case of a lot of car brands, but that’s not the case with a connection to the OBD2 port

a dashcam is super practical especially with that kind of commute -i’d go for it. look for one that records front + rear and has loop recording, 1080p is fine unless you wanna splurge for 4k. vantrue or 70mai are both solid brands. car cushions are also great tbh, but i’d make it a little bundle -like a “commute survival kit.” throw in a travel mug, some snacks, a good phone mount, and a mini air freshener so his car always feels fresh. if you want something a bit more unique or personal to pair with it, check [presents.chat](http://presents.chat) \-it’s full of practical gift ideas like this that don’t feel generic.

Would suggest you get a 70mai and have it connected via the OBD2 port, this will guarantee parking monitoring and will not void any warranty.

Check nyo po 70mai na brand. Before bumili lang ako sa shopee nung nagsale tapos pina install ko na lang. Daming installer sa fb marketplace na naghohome service.

Not sure with the exact model. Pero check nyo po shopee ni 70mai madami po dun, pili na lang.

Get a 70mai or even better options like Redtiger or DDPAI and use a hardwire kit with it.. It will allow you to record 24/7 and don't forget to check if the hardwire kit has a voltage protection so that the battery will not be drained.

I dread the day I'll have to have my baby, or anyone's baby in the car tbh. Also I recommend the 70mai dash cam, it's a bit expensive but very good!

A rechargeable RTC battery should be fine, first because it should be located in the cool part of the camera, as Viofo's are, and second because the charge and discharge rates are extremely slow. A main lithium battery is a totally different matter, they need to be charged rapidly, with enough power to shutdown safely, before the camera can start recording, and they are big enough that they often don't fit in the cool part of the camera. 70mai are not too bad, their normal camera design allows the battery to stay reasonably cool, and they use Li Ion cells instead of Lipos. There have been a few reports of Viofo RTC batteries needing to replaced, but it is unusual, and I don't think it is due to heat problems.

Just got a 70mai, and so far so good.

I like my 70mai paired with a Samsung high durability micro SD card.

70mai dash cam - made by Xiaomi and brilliant for the money

70 mai is good.

Avoid, install 70mai by yourself. Search videos on YouTube.

He's lying, just trying to get you to buy their accessory dashcam. Just powering it through the 12v socket is no problem. But if you want 24/7 parking monitoring, then you'll have to hardwire it, which can cause warranty problems. So if you just want normal dashcam functionality go for any 70mai model. If you want parking monitoring also, go for the dealer one, provided they have that function, confirm that.. And get proper confirmation in writing that the dealer fitting will not cause any warranty problems in the future.

Please try out Sound FX guys in Andheri East Good location, and good service. I got dashcam installed on my Nexon a couple of months ago and I am very happy with the service (70mai, bought it from them - same price as Amazon) [https://maps.app.goo.gl/p6EchRCvuWYaaj448](https://maps.app.goo.gl/p6EchRCvuWYaaj448) They were installing dash cams on a BMW and an Audi the same time as mine - so they can handle your Hector I am sure

Holy shit they are expensive! Why pay so much ? Get a 70mai and they do it in half the price

I once have a cam for $5 before tariff. It supports loop recording. 70 mai is reliable. The front is most important and you may not need the other directions. If you can't see anything on the front, that means you didn't hit.

The best suggestion... simply go on to Youtube and watch some dashcam videos... almost all of them have the make and model embedded into the video. Personally, I chose 70mai based on the images I had watched and the price points vs features I wanted.

$50 70mai in the front, 2017 $50 Yi in the back. The Yi is way better I just picked up an extra one in case my 70mai acts up again. I ran a really long cable to the center console for the rear camera. For the front camera I used a dongar brand harness that splits the power from the rear view dimming mirror.

I use a 70mai

No ,get a 70mai for 10-11k

I have 70mai. Perfectly suits my needs and affordable. Got it for 500 front and rear

70mai with hardwire kit.

The 70mai on Amazon is great!

I got this 70mai model, very happy with it. Didn’t hardwire, due to warranty considerations, plugged it into the trunk 12v socket. Works great, but the parking camera feature and 4g module will not work in this case — those would require hardwiring

No, not hard at all, the camera modules are secured to the glass with a double-sided tape (comes included). Be careful not to obscure the radar at the front, if you have it (the plastic thing behind your rear view mirror) The included cables are plenty long enough to reach from front to back. I have mine just hanging on the passenger handles, but you definitely could pass them under the interior. For the backside camera, I’ve hidden the cable under the plastic coverings, and it pops out in the bottom corner, not obscuring the back view. I would probably like to hide everything under the panels, but I’m worried about damaging something, as I’m not that mechanically gifted – when I attempt to fix something, I usually then have to fix it 3 times over 😂

My last 2 VIOFO’s didn’t last and had a lot of issues with intermittent recordings on the 70mai, so I’ve tried a cheaper GKU D700…wish me luck. Dad’s had one on his car for about a month and I can’t fault it. Front and rear quality is very good.

What component melt? I have used both 70mai and DDPAI with no issue.

I still have a couple of $5 cameras that support loop recording. That's before tariff. They are all made in China. Yi is a long time brand name now and I recommend the 70 mai, about $30, with or without screen. Get a brand name SD card for reliability. For $30 I got a 4K 4 cam one, no wifi. Working fine. It also got the newer tape that I call Vudu tapes. It better than clear mounting tape, which are the only ones that work in CA. Do you want to read the license plate ? Want it at night? No cam can. So you can buy anything. Electronics are hard to break.

70mai. Good dashcam and much better app compared to Qubo

I've owned a bunch of Viofos but have switched to 70mai for the Ioniq 5. But anyways, you should mount it on the plastic part with just the lens peeking enough to view the street. Or put it on the right side of the plastic housing. It's annoying having the dashcam visible in your eyeline.

I use the Xiaomi 70 Mai series in all my cars. They are incredible value for money and the parking surveillance feature has unbelievable sensitivity. On top of that, my model creates a GPS breadcrumb map route for every journey included both in the video and as a standalone metric in the app. If you hardwire it, it can even record 24/7 in low-power mode when the car is parked. I believe some models even have a SIM-card slot and can upload/stream to the cloud so you can watch what’s going on around your car from a distance.

70mai.. 4 years zero issues.

I've been using a 70mai dash cam for years now. Never had any issues with it. Always recommend it to my pals. Not that expensive and always works great. I've not tried their rear cameras but I'm sure they're as good as the dash cams

honestly thats on you anong less distracting sayo. personally I prefer separate screens for the dashcam, not really a fan sa mirror type. distracting for me and nababawasan yung view ko sa rear with the added screen usual recos are DDPAI and 70mai but for a more budget option try Azdome

do the radar kit help you? or it is useless? how is the app? i have the 70mai and it is very bad, you cannot speed up videos, you have to watch them full. thanks!

I have pretty good luck with 70mai dash cam, make sure you get some good SD cards, those are frequently overlooked, samsung endurance cards are fantastic for dash cams, check them periodically.

Agree on this. Kahit sa gabi maganda quality ng video.

I have a 70mai, and I like it it, but it's front-facing only. I'd really like to upgrade to one that includes a rear-facing camera, but I haven't seen any information (videos or docs) about how to obtain power from the liftgate.

I have a 70mai dash cam that is mounted just below the vehicle camera. You can’t see it behind the mirror when driving and the only time I notice it is when it makes its chime at startup. It works great, has parking sentry and is cheap too. Even their app isn’t bad for Chinesium.

You can't go wrong with DDPAI and 70mai. I got a A800S+rear cam set from Blade and they installed it for me free of charge. Now regarding parking mode, I would advise against it because it means hardwiring it and that voids the car warranty.

70mai is much much better.

Just check the video captures on YouTube. You yourself will see the huge difference between Qubo and 70mai. I have been using a 70mai for the past few years without any issues.

I like 70mai, all of them work fine last 8 years in all my cars. Price affordable enough.

I'm using 70mai dash cams on all my cars, they work like a charm as well. Cheap, good quality, good app. More than enough just to prove a point to the police

I personally use 70mai for our 2 cars. No problems, malinaw ang images, nareretrieve ng phone ang mga kuha.
