I didn't even know Audi did dashcams. I did my research at the time and went with a 70mai Pro Plus+ from AliExpress. I've had it for 5 years now and it's been great. I'm sure there are better options on the market now though.

Bought mine in 2022. Sulit naman. Ang reklamo ko lang ay nagshushutdown siya bigla bigla kapag sobrang init ng panahon. Umaabot ng 50 degrees sa amin. I researched about how to fix it. Irereplace lang yung battery inside. Pero di ko alam mag DIY lol

Mali yung nabili kong 70 Mai, wala pala siyang audio recording. Nag assume kasi ako na may audio recording mga dash cams. So better check yung feature na ito kung preferred mo may audio recording, pwede naman sya i-turn off kung ayaw mo may audio.

I have Qubo HCA05 dual channel and 70Mai A500s Pro plus dual channel on my cars. Both are on par WRT to video quality but I found the iOS app of 70mai a little better than Qubo. I've had a single channel dashcam from last 6 years and found it to be sufficient. I recently upgraded the dashcams and got the dual channel ones. Dashcams are like insurance policies, you don't think you need it until you've had some accident. If price is not a concern then go for dual channel ones.

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.

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.

A500s user here. The only issue I faced is it shows memory card corrupted sometimes on startup, but it got resolved after one or two restarts. Regarding the recording quality, you can see the vehicles clearly but the vehicle registration number isn’t getting captured when the vehicles are moving.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.
