70mai - A510

I installed my 70mai a510 dual set, it's a good quality build and has really good recording quality, (2k in the front) along with parking mode with the additional hardwire kit, can recommend. The only downside is the app seems to have a problem downloading vids. You can easily watch them with streaming, its just that downloading fails sometimes. Whichever dash cam you pick tho, its a really simple installation job, just keep the airbags in mind.

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)

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.

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

Ive got its baby brother the A510 does its's job but the whole bluetooth/app thing is frustrating

Because they are good dashcams? I have the 510, and installation was easy, and it captures all details in daytime as well as night. I've checked the video from other 4 k cameras and the video output from my 2k camera feels more legible than that.

Yes the dashcam does get hot, but that doesn't affect its performance in any way. The manual does mention that you shouldn't worry about the heat at all. And I think any concerns about the battery are just people repeating things without thinking. I can't find a single newspaper report about the battery exploding. And do you know why? Because the camera has a HMC1450 battery which are rated for up to 70° C. And that battery is hardly used as the camera just shuts down in less than a minute one the car is switched off.

Regarding your second question, I would prefer the a510, just coz of the starvis2 sensor. Look at the video outputs from both on YouTube. You'll see that the a510 has better night video capture.

I bought A510 in the Amazon sale for 12450, installed yesterday on my Tiago. Video quality is not that great but also not that bad.

Got the slightly lower end 70mai A510 and it is still clear as day and has excellent night footage. Highly recommend them.

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.

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.

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.

Hello everyone, I recently bought a dash cam for my XL6 and installed it myself in just 45 minutes. The installation process was straightforward and easy. I wanted to share my experience and thoughts on the quality of the dash cam. Initially, I was searching for 4K dash cams under ₹20k. After reading several reviews, I decided to prioritize having a Sony Starvis 2 sensor. Further research made me prefer dash cams with a super capacitor for better performance in varying temperatures and quicker boot times. On Amazon, only DDPAI and Redtiger offered models with super capacitors, but they didn't come with the latest Sony imx Starvis sensor. So, I decided to let go of the super capacitor and narrowed my choices to the 70mai 810 4K, priced at ₹19,999 on Amazon. However, reviews highlighted heating issues and noted only a slight sharpness difference between the 70mai 510 and 70mai 810. Given the 70mai 510 was priced at ₹13,999, I decided to go with the 70mai 510. Here are some features and my observations: Night Performance: During night drives, the dash cam easily captured the number plates of oncoming and road side parked cars. App: The accompanying app is simple to use and configure. ADAS: The lane departure warning works well, provided the road has clear lanes and you're driving above 55 km/h. The front vehicle moving detection also functions effectively. Overall, I am pleased with this camera. I still need to test it on long-distance drives to check for any heating issues, but so far, it has been a great addition to my car.

I bought a Hyundai Creta SX(O) 2024 Automatic Petrol, which comes with a 360-degree camera but doesn't provide any recording. So, I have narrowed my research to these two Dual DashCams in India, 70mai a510 and Viofi a229 Plus. **Viofi a229 Plus** * Dual Sony Starvis 2 sensor on front and back, and it also comes with a Capacitor (so no heating issues as compared to battery one) * Warranty support till 18 months * By far the best dual DashCam around 30K (with Hardwire and 256 GB Memory Card) * Online Reviews are quite exceptional on Amazon, Flipkart and Youtube **70mai a510** * Sony Starvis 2 sensor only on the front * One con is that it comes with a battery, not a capacitor, so it can get heated normally more than capacitor cameras. I spoke about this to the Nexdigitron service centre, they assured me that we can provide a replacement Warranty for 12 months in case of any ongoing issues with the functionality of this camera * By far the best dual DashCam around 15K (with Hardwire and Memory Card Samsung Ultimate Pro 256 GB) * Online Reviews are good on Amazon, Flipkart and Youtube. I went with 70mai a510 because I don't feel the need to spend an extra 15k just for surveillance cameras with Viofi a229 Plus, spending 15k is good enough. But if you think you live in some area where the crime rates are quite high and you need to track back side number plates with utmost clarity at low visibility, then you can consider Viofi a229 Plus. Also, I don't do such long trips that often, I wanted a camera which I can rely upon. Lastly, technologies are evolving quite rapidly. Today, a Viofi a229 plus seems best at 30k. After some time there will be something else, and it will keep going. So, based on your budget and requirements you can go for either of those cameras. Just think wisely before buying such high-end products. **PS**: I was also considering Wolfbox i07 3 Channel and Redtiger F17 4k 3 Channel cameras but avoided those primarily because these cameras would face difficulties in reading number plates at night time as they come with Basic Starvis Sensor (also seen reviews quoting this in online platforms). While on the same budget 70mai a510 was providing Sony Starvis Sensor 2 in Front, which will be very handy at night time as our headlight will always outshine front vehicle number plate.

I narrowed my research to just 2 Dual DashCams in India, 70mai a510 and Viofi a229 plus. **Viofi a229 Plus** * Dual Sony Starvis 2 sensor on front and back, and it also comes with Capacitor * Support extension till 18 months * By far the best dual DashCam around 30K with Hardwire and 256 GB Memory Card **70mai a510** * Sony Starvis 2 sensor only on the front * One con: it comes with a battery and not a capacitor, so it can get heated. I spoke about this to Nexdigitron service centre, they assured me that we provide a replacement Warranty of 12 months. * By far the best dual DashCam around 15K with Hardwire and Memory Card (Samsung Ultimate Pro 256 GB) I went ahead with 70mai a510 because I don't feel the need to spend 30k just for additional cameras unless I am living in some area where the crime rates are quite high and where I need a dual Starvis 2 sensor and capacitor. Also, I don't do such long trips that often, I wanted a camera which I can rely upon. Last, technology is evolving rapidly, today the best is the Viofi a229 plus in 30k, after a year there will be something else, and it will keep going. So invest in such extra products wisely based on your needs and budget.

I have the A810, purchased in June. No issues whatsoever in hot and humid conditions, great footage. If you're planning on going for its little brother the A510 it is a good buy as it also has the Sony Starvis 2 sensor, the difference being the A810 is 4k for the front cam.

Hey, I am at the same crossroads till yesterday. After long research, I decided to go with a 70mai A510. This genuine accessory from Maruti Suzuki is a cheap import from China and doesn't come with dual channel, it doesn't have an app and the sensors are very outdated. God forbid, if you encounter any real road rage incident, we don't know how much of the details this can capture. So better go with an established brand and get it equipped with the help of Nexa Service folks. By the way I booked Fronx too and will be getting it soon.

Been using a 70Mai A510 Dual Channel dash cam for about 2 weeks now. Bought it off Amazon for 12,999/-. So far it's great, getting good footage from both cams, audio recording is also good. Few other nifty features are also there, have put in a 64 gb Samsung Evo Micro SD. Dedicated app that connects easily to the cam where you can download the videos to your phone by connecting via the cam's hotspot. Check out videos uploaded by TravelTech on YT to get a better idea.

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.

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

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 😂

I’ve bought 70mai for all of my cars over the years. They’re dirt cheap, don’t have a screen but just record onto an sd card. They announce they’re recording when you turn on and just do their job. Super robust, can deal with the insane internal temp of a summer and the ice cold of a Colorado winter. I had one fail after 3 years (picture was tinted purple) but it was so cheap to replace, I didn’t care.

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.

I use a 70mai, front only, placed in front of the rear view mirror. It has no impact on Eyesight. Operating it behind the mirror is inconvenient, but it does slide off the mount if necessary. It has wifi for interfacing, but I usually just swap out the memory card and review on my PC. I don't watch the screen in use, but I can pretty easily see the status led.

No ,get a 70mai for 10-11k

70mai I got it for $99 but during December sale it is available for $69 Front 2k recording and back P 1 year return warranty I’ve been using it since 2021 and still it’s going strong in the heat of Florida

70 mai is good.

Installed a 70MAI on my V40 with the back camera accesory and hided all the wires under the trim plus connected the constant power module to the fusebox behind the glovebox, works great.

I have this installed in my car. Works perfectly fine!

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'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

70mai on amazon. You can get a front and rear setup for about 110 and the video quality is great at night too

Near the rear view mirror that doesn't block your forward view. Got myself one of the 70mai and so far it's working fine with me

70mai is much much better.

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

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.

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

I will say the same for my 70mai but the NC heat

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.

Since the LTT video, the Sony Starvis 2 sensor cams have become more common. They have better HDR (they combine one bright frame then one dark frame) which adds plate readability at night, at the expense of some artifacts or motion blur during the day. It is still not a perfect solution but does improve video quality in some situations. 70mai and Viofo make very good budget cams. A big problem is that there are still so many fake spec garbage cams on the market, and marketplaces have done nothing to crack down on sellers who outright lie about their products to get them to the top with fake reviews or fake specs.

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

I have 70mai which has nice picture quality

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.

I’ve had the opposite experience with 70mai. I’ve had a 70mai in my car for over 2 years now and I live in Arizona where it’s 40c+ for a good chunk of the year and I’ve never had issues. My parents have one in Bangalore and they’ve never had issues either. Yours might have been defective

Currently using 70mai for 4 years. Has saved my ass from the other guy claiming otherwise.

70mai is great! Do add a lens that will help capture number plates clearly

A family friend gifted my father a dash cam from the us. It was from a brand called Nexar. Back then it had worldwide support. The product was amazing. It synced to its own cloud storage live. Sadly they discontinued the support to India. I bought a Qubo one few days ago. It’s pretty good. I personally use 70mai. It’s the same. Features and all.

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

I have a ford fusion energi and I installed 70mai front and rear camera hardwired so it works even when the car is off cost me a little less than $200 and I installed everything myself super easy if you know what your doing and it records the rear and the front. Definitely worth it since ford doesn’t do anything about cameras smfh
