dataguy2230 1.0I bought the 70mai S500 and it works pretty well.
mebrokelad 1.0My 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.
Throwawayidk100 1.0Alot 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.
abhishek_anil 0.2Can vouch. Have a 500s with th same lens
duggawiz 0.1I 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!
Available-Guide-6310 0.1Look 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.
theyounginfj 0.1I have 70mai dual channel dash cam Working pretty well since two years Costed me around 10.5 K
TipsyTriggerFinger 0.070Mai 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.
mubeen_94 0.0Get a 70mai dual channel dashcam that fits your budgets (preferably with a Sony Starvis 2 sensor) with hardwire kit. Just make sure that the hardwire kit is for the OBD2 port and not the fuses because hardwiring to fusebox may void warranty in case of a lot of car brands, but that’s not the case with a connection to the OBD2 port
Magnificent-Egg-612 0.0Definitely 70mai - for those who didn’t know, it’s a Xiaomi brand
I don’t think you always get what you pay for. Some of the legacy reputable brands charge you an arm and a leg for 4k recording. Whereas you can simple get a 80mai (Xiaomi) with same spec for 1/4th the price.
