70mai - S500

I bought the 70mai S500 and it works pretty well.

My take- Invest in a better dashcam, and get the Android screen separately! You can buy 70Mai A510 or S500 for approx £80 on Aliexpress- pretty straightforward setup, and buy these Android screens separately for £20-30 on Aliexpress. A good-quality dashcam goes a long way. I have both an A510 and an S500 on my cars. S500 also works as a rear backup camera on the Fiat 500.

Alot of people do. Rear and front dashcams are recommended, dont just get a front one. I got a xiaomi mai70, s500 model but wouldn't buy it again and don't have knowledge on other brands. Definitely get a high res one if possible, shit ones aren't worth it if they cant read plates.

Well, if you just want a single channel dash cam maybe have a look at the Viofo A119 Mini 2 or Viofo VS1 Mini. As for a two channel, then consider the older (released in 2020) Viofo A129 Plus Duo. All dash cams mentioned record in 2K front. Yes I am a bit partial to the brand as they have served me well over the year, "can" be reasonably priced considering feature-set, and they can easily be found on Amazon where I purchased my five two Viofo's in 2019. P.S. Viofo isn't the only brand we have used over our 15 years of dealing with dash cams. At present, besides having a Viofo A119 Mini 2 & A229 Plus 3-ch in play we are also using the 70mai m500 & S500, and the Wolfbox G900 Pro.

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!.

Can vouch. Have a 500s with th same lens

I did some research back in 2023 and ended up with a starvis 2 model from 70mai (one of only 2 that were available at the time, the other was a viofo). I’m very happy with it!

Look into Dongar connector and alike. It'll power from auto dimming mirror socket For dashcam, I like 70mai but the best kind you can get is likely one with Sony Starvis 2 sensor for optimal license plate capturing.

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

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

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.
