70mai - A510

That's a very good price for the stuff that you get. I have the same one but I got it for around 14-15k. Works very well!

This is the best one. Although it has lithium ion battery. But many are using it with no issues.

Qubo has super capacitor. Lithium ion tends to get hotter. But 70 Mai 510 many are using in India. So no issues with that.

It’s likely that the dashcam provided by Hyundai does not have Sony starvis 2 sensor. 70mai A510, A810 etc all have it. It makes a huge difference in clarity, especially at night time. I’d get it from outside.  Passenger electric seats and driver memory are very nice, though. Wireless CarPlay is through an adapter, so one of your usb ports will be blocked. 

Budget? Cameras in general aren’t cheap and you get what you pay for. If you want the current state of art in image quality on both front and back, redtiger f77 comes with IMX678 sensors on both cameras. This is the cheapest I’ve found with dual 4k starvis2 sensors. ₹26k. You can obviously go down from there. From dual channel to single channel, from 4k to 2k and 1080p, from IMX678 to lower tiers of starvis2 sensors. FWIW, 70mai A510 is the most popular dashcam by some margin. Should cost less than ₹15k for dual channel and less than ₹10k for front only. Has a 3k IMX675 on front which is very good for night recording. Unless you’re pinching pennies, I’d steer clear of systems which don’t have at least one Starvis 2 sensor.

Yeah so get a [70Mai A510 dual channel](https://www.amazon.in/70mai-Recorder-MaiColor-Playback-Monitoring/dp/B0CVH2K929?crid=1133VJQFKRF1I&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.1fnV-uSDjqXMfhZ2zUwauiiwuQ9rb4ofa3fGGvLyrcx-SiarifFVVgWkvWNocMoUIQRirO2kOqMOGps7uCwslaoLAJOmPVDwFJ7nzyZf_Q3rdf86BqIe-Pp6ZrxSMl8mqYPFw-jmiX9bZR-lYM_tF0O8vDNW_G-7rT9gHk2yWRYaMX73t9a4d-fsIuFsZQPM0qIQtb7Zuurib5b3QajWLcPJoMslihjJZsIgBdfWMbk.9ItgfeuP_x8beBOfOPKUZnd2ps-QSIy8JITeRMaN5MM&dib_tag=se&keywords=70mai&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1745219218&sprefix=70mai%2Caps%2C262&sr=8-3&th=1). It fits all your requirements. It's 13,999 at amazon today. Or this one from [Qubo](https://www.amazon.in/Qubo-STARVIS-Channel-Display-Supports/dp/B0F2237M2D?crid=37O96VJPL1FL3&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.UpmEsijHDw1Np1wq8K1IZEAhVXr-KSVXV2kzeuBAz6f1x6-avvzb0P5ZZf8kkFO1enyoXnjmSBbeePVuo1bv3-lM5LjCp3rZgnWMe40ka9w66iSnImGVwLCgeA-wHPw0iiw1ILeVAHA9fQIC-gVNM-uVJR8bjIDNk0yCU7gpmP0DfrJUvgXrV2JpiNLnJZOkqxALkxxin_VBUzZYLKzqeop2DK6xjW7oX97OQH4vq1w.vURXKZCYou6XTfnqcspQwsCESQ-zNX-gfTfZ_UDFGqY&dib_tag=se&keywords=qubo%2Bdashcam&qid=1745219154&sprefix=qubo%2Bda%2Caps%2C261&sr=8-4&th=1) Both have a starvis2 sensor at front and is dual channel. Can take a 256Gb of memory card, too. > Any idea on what things to look out for if I’m getting it installed from outside if SC guys don’t install the one which I purchased from open market Nothing to look out for, really. It's a simple job. They'll tuck most of the wires in between interior panels and door seal biddings. Just make sure it looks clean. I see only 1 inch of wire each attached to camera and a further couple of inches in the power outlet. Everything else is tucked in neatly. If your car is in warranty (and maybe even if not), I'd recommend against going for hardwire option. While it has some advantages (like parking surveillance), most installers will cut some wire to attach it instead of installing it properly in a fuse box.

If you want to use dashcam for parking monitoring also i.e. it will need hardwiring better go for official dashcam to avoid issue with warranty. If that's not the case you can go for any dashcam. Just use the 12V port or USB port to power it like any other accessory. I use 70mai a510 which is good.

70Mai A510S Front and Rear with 32gb sd card nasa 6,5K. Malinaw!

Many say this but i haven’t experienced any heat related issues yet, if you stay in extreme temperature areas then you may want to double check. I have three 70mai dash-cams in all. The 70mai dual channel(front & rear) A510 In my Ford 7 Seater, and a single channel M200 Dashcam3 in my polo. Reasons i chose these above anything was the Starvis 2 Sensor for absolute clear images day or night. These can be hardwired to capture in parked mode, and the app is easy to use amongst all.

https://70mai.store/products/a510-dash-cam. I have this and it's great. I did a lot of research and I think it's best for the monet.

VIOFO or their sub brand GITUP are firmly number 1. If you go for GITUP to save money, go with the higher FOV over 100 degrees models. I have a F1 160 degrees FOV and it's been working for 5 years. Second would be Xiaomi for me, purely for value for money. Their sub brand is called Mi or Yi cameras. The sensor you want is Sony STARVIS and ideally version 2 of this sensor with HDR. But for version 2 you'll be paying over £100 easily. Dashcamtalk is the leading forum in the world on dashcams. But look on YouTube for any video reviews with footage, try to watch some at night and in the UK. Significantly worse footage at night, which shocks a lot of people. Unfortunately cameras need light to work, hence the awful nighttime footage. I run two independent cameras front and rear. If you go for a kit, usually the rear camera maxed out at 1080P. I run a GITUP 4K front camera and a 1440P rear Xiaomi running off a power bank. In terms of SD Cards, buy your own to save money. Only go for cards designed for continuous use. SanDisk Pro Endurance is my go to. It should say on the packet designed for CCTV or Dash cams. Lastly check your footage once a month. Nothing worse than needing the footage and SD card corrupted or footage not good enough. In fact second lastly, don't think because you are a better driver because you have a dashcam. Plenty of dead or injured people who were in the right and decided not to avoid an incident to be proven right on the dashcam. Brakes before horn and shouting camruh.

It's worth it, even I picked up the same deal.

Don't look beyond this. It's the best. Period.

im using 70mai a510s. install plus hardwire 4g kit around 700. very nice to see ur car while ur not near it. if you want 4K go for a810s

a510 is good and worth it

Great dashcam i have the same

70mai a510s. The most recommended cam on this sub and I personally use it. Night time performance blows everything else in the same price bracket.

That's the one. Earlier they used to advertise the dual one as a510s. I checked on Amazon and they have changed the name to a510 dual.

That's a really good deal, Last year I got it for 13k with hardwire kit

Yup. I have the same one across all my cars. Very trustworthy.

Promo 70mai A400 - front and rear cam + 32gb for RM 305. Self installation - need purchase hardwire kit for 24h surveillance. Dasher installation - 160 + 85 for hardwire kit Experience so far, the front is good enough but would recommend A510 which cost another 100+. The rear cam is similar with the rest, 1080p is just bad.

Good reco din yung A510. Budget version ng A810 and the one i personally use.

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.

The fact you don’t have one already is surprising for me. I had nextbase 522GW this one last 6 years. Now I bought 70mai a510 it’s a front and rear camera and im happy with it. There’s no drawbacks of having a dashcam, if anything happens you don’t have to argue with the other driver about who was at fault, simply send video to insurance company and that’s it.

A very good deal. I got mine for 13k

I got the 70mai with the starvis 2 sensor. Very happy with it

Rather than brands, you want to prioritize looking for “Starvis 2” sensor. I have the 70mai a510 and its good. Legal to have as long as you dont just post videos online.

Heck, I just bought it for 14k in aug end. decent camera setup.

We are using xioami a500s / a510s dual (front and back) ayos naman. Just pair it with high endurance sd card.

70mai A510 the best value, just installed it myself on the new myvi g3 (got rm530 for front and rear in shopee during sale, can check [here](https://s.shopee.com.my/4AinyOfk5b) 360 camera need to be installed as a separate part since it uses android player to display the 360 view. it is not related to dashcam since the view is front and rear only

70mai has been great. Includes both Front and rear cameras. Easy to install. Videos are easy to download using app. No in app purchases required to access footage. Can record in 4k and records front and rear simultaneously. https://a.co/d/cyJu8pv

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.

The A510 has a better sensor which gives better performance at night. Hence if you can stretch your budget, I will suggest that you go for the A510. I had purchased the front+back version of the A510 several years back at about 15k. I can see the prices have fallen quite a bit since then.

My car was hit from the behind and I did find it useful to show the other driver due to which he gave me money So definitely useful.

Go for 70mai anyday. They have the best cameras as well as reliable also No need to worry ☺️☺️

I have the 70mai A510, it's made by xiaomi if i am not mistaken. I bought mine from aliexpress but they sell it officially in the UK for a bit more. Very easy to setup and the app works great, after a month of buying it I got rear ended while stationary and they paid up straight away after seeing the camera! (I didn't go through insurance as it was only the bumper and it was an easy replace by the garage)

You can go with 510 that's like 6k cheaper The quality of that dash cam is good but this 510 also does the work

Brother go with 70mai 510.. it has a starvix 2 which is very useful at night . Moreover the video quality is superb.i personal had in my car

OP you don’t need to hardwire it. The charging socket stays always on in Kushaq. I use 70mai A510 front and rear in my Kushaq and I always keep it plugged in whenever I’m out. So far, I have never drained the battery even when it was accidentally left plugged in overnight.

https://preview.redd.it/8yv6sz50sg1e1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa30bec558144656442fab009fa6418f5d313c8a totally unbiased recommendation but 70mai, ive done all my installations at the Glenmarie Dasher branch (front + back + hardwire kit) for all, definitely recommend their products as they are easy to use and software isnt clunky. models ive used: A500s, A510s & A800s imo any of these will be more than sufficient cause i can barely tell the difference of the quality in footage. probably the A510s best purchase for you. stay safe on the road OP ! ❤️🫡

i do find the A510s to be ever so slightly better at night than the A500s but honestly cannot distinguish between the A800s footage and A510s. wont go wrong with any of them tbh. i only went for the A800s for the bigger screen for the vellfire just to look proportionate to the bigger windshield 🤣

Great Dashcam. Been using it for one year and fully satisfied. Although, dont get it if you park your car under sun for long time.

It’s lithium based battery, heat up a lot under direct sun for long hours and damage the product

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

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.

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.

Go with a 70mai one and you'll be fine.

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

70mai. I think for day light most brand did well, but in low light (night time) 70mai stands out for its clarity.

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.

https://preview.redd.it/hel80s5bil1e1.jpeg?width=1220&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bba54cc12b2028aee1fb280e2b42454d91d6ee84 Either 70mai or ddpai is good. You can buy this as this is the cheapest and really reliable. I set this up for my wife car and so far it is really good. Picture and video quality is great You get front and back camera. Ddpai is as good as 70 Mai but cheaper

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.

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.
