"70Mai Omni lasted all summer in Austin for me ... I had another cheaper dash cam before that one and it broke after the summer heat."


"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."

"early units have had gimbal issues causing rattly footage ... The rattly footage is horizontal shake, there's roads that are say moderately gravelly and it's pretty janky footage. ... But the fact that the issue is there gives me pause. ... I agree with you on the x800, it seems like that's what the issue is. Shame really but what can you do."

r/DashcamWolfbox G900 Pro vs...?
11 months ago

It does, though I got mine for free so no issues for me haha. I've tested numerous Starvis 2 dashcams and this is the first that doesn't have HDR supported even though the sensor has it natively. As you say, it's a matter of firmware support and something that Wolfbox has just been in my eyes too lazy to turn on. Wolfbox has typically the market mostly to themselves when it comes to rear view mirror dashcams, so at least now they're moving the needle forward. I have the X800 on my testing bench but early units have had gimbal issues causing rattly footage, so it's not all roses here. Have to spend more time with it to get my final judgment but on paper its a big improvement from where they were just 18 months ago.

r/Dashcam70mai a good brand?
12 months ago

The 70mai A200 is on the budget spectrum of dual channel dash cams, watch [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1fatNoWEOQ) review video of the A200. I think it does quite a decent job considering it is only a 1080p dash cam setup. One of the drawbacks of 70mai dash cams has been they use a physical battery in stead of capacitors. Batteries wear out, get hot, swell, etc, you get the picture, But 70mai is slowly switching to capacitors so IMO it is a win win for everyone. In saying the above, I live in Canada and I've owned (or still own) several 70mai dash cams - ~~1S~~, M500, ~~A800S~~, A81*0*, **S500**, Omni X200 - those crossed out I no longer own, and the S500 does use a capacitor instead of a physical battery. Other than the 1S, build quality of the rest have been second to none in my opinion. Not to say the 1S was bad just that it felt/looked cheaper than all the rest. When it comes/came to their use I have absolutely no complaints with their ability to the job they were intended to do tis the reason I keep buying into the brand. P.S. Although we are quite happy with 70mai dash cam brand we aren't tied to them by any means as we also use other brands. It has more to do with us being a techno geek than anything else buuut... We are waiting on 70mai's newest release the Omni X800 LOL.

r/dashcamsShould I go with Viofo A229 Plus or 70mai M800?
about 2 months ago

I suggest you check out some reviews on both of them to make a more informative decision on which one would suit you best. I own a few Viofo's including the A229 Plus 3-ch. The brand has been very good to me over the years in terms of reliability. The A229 Plus records 2K front & rear, 1080p interior. For my type of usage, 2K is more than ample. I also own several 70mai dash cams some older some newer... The older 70mai models had physical batteries whilst those produced in the last year and some are equipped with super-capacitors. Yes a capacitor equipped dash cam is preferred. Either way, this brand has been very good to me as well. P.S. I do not own the 70mai M800 (released in Aug 2025) so can't honestly comment on it worth. But I do have the 4K Omni X800, a 360° camera of sorts which was released in May of this year, and it's great!.

r/AustinLearn me on your Austin dashcams. What holds up here?
11 months ago

70Mai Omni lasted all summer in Austin for me and tbh is pretty easy to take off and put back on if you really wanted to, but I never did. I had another cheaper dash cam before that one and it broke after the summer heat. I just have it plugged into my USB and don’t really care about the wire but you can always get someone to install the hardwire kit.

I have a 70mai Omni in my Forester. Has 360 capability and parking mode. Needs to be hardwired for parking mode. If installing yourself, make sure power cord is behind the airbag in the A pillar. Otherwise you may have a cord and camera flying around if the airbag ever deploys.

r/MachEIs there any aftermarket cameras for the Mach E that have “sentry mode” type features that can record motion events when the vehicle is turned off?
7 months ago

I'm using this with the 4g module https://www.70mai.com/no/omni/. I do get a lot of messages in FordPass saying "Electrical System Drain Service Required", but I haven't had any issues. It can be configured to turn off when the voltage drops below a limit, but it shouldn't be necessary as the car will charge the 12v-battery before it gets too low.

I think it works quite well. In the app I can connect to the camera to show the live video stream and rotate the camera. And I can see a list of videos that have been recorded based on suspicious movements. I also get notifications from the app when it detects something. I do get a lot of false alarms, but I think it's useful.

r/DashcamBest 360 Dashcam
3 months ago

A true '360' dashcam, like the 70mai Omni, is a little different than a 2/3+ channel setup with one interior camera looking towards the inside cabin and one looking front, another maybe rear, etc. Sounds like what you want and are referring to is the latter. My opinion on a 2/3 channel setup is that it's primarily useful for rideshare drivers or those who drive for work. For everyday people, they are not very beneficial, as far as reducing driving / accident risk. Dashcam companies sometimes try to market to people who want to record the interior cabin for the "memories", but idk. There is one other case where an interior cabin view camera is useful for non-work driving: If you get an interior camera with a fisheye view, it can capture stuff happening outside your side windows, adding extra coverage that a front and rear camera won't capture. as far as if there's one with a battery, the answer is basically: yes, but you don't want it. Why? Basically, any battery in a dashcam will not be large enough in capacity to use for parking mode. They are usually very small, like 500mAh or less, and have just enough capacity to power the dashcam for long enough after engine power is cut off - i.e. to save the current video without corrupting the file, and safely shut down the camera. Also, typical lithium-ion batteries in a dashcam are a safety and reliability risk, as when exposed to the extreme temperatures a car can reach, the battery can fail or even catch on fire. What you would want is a dashcam with a supercapacitor (more resistant to extreme temperatures, performs the same function as a small battery) and an *external* dedicated dashcam LiFePo4 battery.
