70mai - A810

Currently testing 70mai A810 in Croatia and it works well - even parked directly against the sun but Texas is another level so you might need to consider parkingfacing north etc. ....

I have several... \* Viofo A119 V3 - late 2019 \* Viofo A119 Mini 2 - Jan 2024 \* Viofo A229 Plus 3-ch - Aug 2024 \* Wolfbox G900 2-ch - Nov 2022 \* Wolfbox G900 Pro 2-ch - Feb 2025... replacing the Wolfbox G900 \* 70mai M500 - Mar 2023 \* 70mai Omni X200 - Apr 2023 \* 70mai A810 2-ch - Aug 2023 \* 70mai S500 2-ch - Sept 2023 \* DDPAI Mini Pro - sometime in 2023 There are others but these are the most relevant ones.

The A810 alright but, in 2 channel mode it only records at 25 fps which can make the video look choppy in certain scenarios like when the vehicle is going around a corner. And it only has 2.4GHz WiFi which makes downloading footage on the fly painfully slow. So in my opinion, yes, it is worth the extra $80 to spring for the VIOFO A229 Plus. It records at 30 fps in multichannel mode along with having 2.4GHz, and 5GHz WiFi.

So is this one or multiple 70mai dash cams you've had issues with? Just curious as my 1S, M500, Omni, A800S, A810, S500, 70mai dash cams have all been non-problematic.

That's a bummer sorry to hear that. Yeah I am a techno junkie of sorts which also includes dash cams lol. I've been using dash cams in one for another since the late 2010's so we own many. At present we two 2-channel setups (front & rear) in both our car and truck. I've used many brands of dash cams with my fav being Viofos's, but 70mai fits in there too due to their value for the monies. I purchased my 70mai A810 pre-launch with it working just fine in my case but removed it as we decided to change our setups as shown below. The SD card I've mainly used with the 70mai's has been the SanDisk High Endurance ones ranging from 64GB to 128GB. Truck... \- Viofo A119 Mini 2 front \- 70mai M500 as a rear \- 70mai S500 2-ch rear view mirror dash cam Car... \- Viofo A229 Plus 3-ch \- Wolfbox G900 2-ch rear view mirror dash cam

If you are going to rely heavily on parking mode you may want to consider the Thinkware U3000. One of the U3000 parking mode features is "radar" parking mode that has a very low current draw when sitting idle, check out this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylqMhRnpyFo) for more context on its function. The Rove R3 or Vantrue N4 pro aren't dash cams I have ever considered/used so can't comment on them. I've been using the Viofo brand for like 6 years having no complaints whatsoever with their reliability. Last couple of years I've also been using the Wolfbox G900 rear view mirror dash cam w/o issue, actually one of my fav dash cam form factors ever in the 14+ years using them. Video resolution front and rear (especially rear), could be better so we are just waiting on the Wolfbox G900 Pro to be released here in Canada. Also have several 70mai dash cams - 1S, M500**\***, A800S, A810, Omni X200, S500**\*** which is a rear view mirror dash cam - those with an **\*** are currently in use... Other than the S500 rear view mirror dash cam all the other 70mai dash cams I use have a physical battery rather than the preferred capacitor, I've never had an issue with any of them though.

Buy one. I have a 70mai A810 and have zero regrets. You’ll want the footage if shit ever goes sideways.

I like my 70mai A810. It’s a bit more pricey but you get a front and rear cam setup with Sony Starvis image sensors for good quality in any light. Mounts to the inside of the windshield and plugs into the 12v behind the glovebox. Wiring is easy to hide and it works flawlessly.

I have 70Mai A810 front+rear hardwired, on an Octavia iV with parking mode, no issues.

I use a 70mai a810. I just run the wire under the door seal strips. Its camera quality is top notch.

70mai for me. Affordable and excellent quality. I have A810, very happy with it.

70mai A810 on my 2023 Forester. Used a Dongar adaptor to take power directly from the auto dimming mirror.

70mai A810 + Dongar connector

70 mai A810, or anything with Starvis 2 sensors for the front dashcam for capturing license place at night.

Definitely the 70mai A810 combo. Has the Sony Starvis 4k sensor, well-priced, covers front and rear, and can easily be hardwired for parked recording. Solid unit 💯

I'm almost certainly gonna go with the A329. I just learned that the 70mai A810 uses a battery and not a capacitor. Batteries are terrible for dash cams due to how hot the inside of a car gets in the summer here. 70mai apparently has a new X800/Omni 4k that has a capacitor, but it's not obtainable anywhere at this time and I want a dash cam now.

I got the [70mai 4k Dashcam (A810-2)](https://amzn.eu/d/0OB0u49) for 3 months already and it works great. Only drawback as some reviews mentioned it doesnt use a super capacitor so it's life cpuld be shorter due to the heat here, but so far its been great. Havent installed the rear camera since im too lazy to do the wiring. But the main camera is clear especially in the evening.

I hardwired Mai70 a810s a couple weeks ago. Works well so far.

Fitcamx is easy to install, but have very shitty video quality and low reliability. I used one (+rear) for a few months but recently changed it to a 70mai a810 hiding every cable.

70mai A810. Bought it from the Ali express 70mai store a year ago. It’s fantastic, works flawlessly, doesn’t look butt ugly like the viofo, and has Starvis 2 sensor in it. I’m really happy with it.

Congratulations OP! I got a 70mai A500S for mine. Costed me 8.5k + installation charges + SD card. Much better than the Blaupunkt, similar pricing. A810S is also a great higher end option. Xiaomi is the parent company of 70mai. Great video quality, acoustics and durability. You can opt for Ddpai or Viofo cams if you want a capacitor dashcam (vs. a Lithium one). Qubo is a good budget option. 70mai cameras are resilient enough and if the lithium ion battery gets ultra hot, it will automatically shut down temporarily to protect the battery. This has happened to me only once in my 9 months of ownership. And connect it to the rear or front USB ports via a C-to-A converter. Do not use the 9-V socket as it is always on in the Virtus.

I've a 70mai A810 front & rear camera setup with 70mai battery pack for parking recording. Pretty good. DIY install.

Definitely not anything 70mai. Stupid POS won't read what it formats.

I bought the a810 I think it was. Have not been able to format the SD card on multiple cards of different brands and sizes for 3 months (since I bought it. If a SanDisk doesn't solve the problem, the problem is the way the company is formatting the cards. I couldn't even update the firmware on it to see if the firmware was the issue. I reached out to their support to try and resolve it and had to manually install it. Still didn't format the cards. Wasted my God damn money. Their app is terrible too. The hell you have so many? 😂

The 70mai A800/A810 cameras do 4k60, but I've had a couple where the battery has failed. Shame they don't make one with a capacitor.

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.

I have been using my 70mai A810 for half a year. The video quality is very crisp. Unlike most dashcams, it looks VERY good at night. I have tried a dozen dashcams from $100-$230 and returned all of them. The main issue is that the night time recording is terrible

I have been using the 70Mai A810 since past 7-8 months. And keep car parked in the sun. Have not faced any issue yet. The Li Ion battery is very small. It is used just to save recording to memory card when car is turned off.

I got A810 dual channel setup with 4G connection for approx Rs 12K. It’s workings great for the last 1 year. As per the videos from youtube, it’s not that hard to replace the battery if goes dead. In Malaysia, they offer 3 year warranty.

A810 dual channel setup was 8K, paid 2k for 4G adapter and another 2K extra for electrostatic stickers, CPL lens for both cameras and adapter wires for hardwiring.

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

70Mai in my opinion, I have 4K front and 1080p back A810

70Mai in my opinion, I have 4K front and 1080p back A810

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

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

I have 70mai dashcam front and rear one it's expensive but worth it cuz incase someone rear ends u u have the recoding which will capture the number of the vehicle incase the vehicle which hit from behind doesn't stop so incase of accident u have proof to showcase

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 just bought A810 last week, yet to test it out but have researched enough before making purchase. No worries regarding anything and the don't worry about battery too, it will last really long, I was previously using a Xiaomi dashcam, and it's battery lasted 7 year ( still works but it keeps forgetting the date & time due to battery being bad )

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 got a 70mai 4K dashcam front and rear with the HW kit. Haven’t had tints long enough to mount it yet and haven’t done the HW kit, but the front mounts behind the rear view mirror on the black area itself and looks very clean. I’ll post a picture of the front and the current temporary wiring later

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
