70mai - T800 3 Channel Dash Cam

I just changed my 70mai a810-2 for TK800 model. I've had 70mai (xiaomi) since a500 and went through almost all models beside Omni, they saved me 4x already from irresponsible drivers and payed off themselves numerous times. I'm upgrading due to the 3'rd channel (beside front and back they added IR interior cam loke Ventrue) just because of AI cameras who wants to take money claiming "no seatbelt" (which I have all-time).

I recently got this for my 911: [70mai](https://amzn.to/4qdbO0R). It takes a bit to setup, it's a 3CH, so front/cabin/rear. Optional 4G module. I haven't tested it a lot been a week but it's promising. Their app is good, so is the build quality.

with the same price, I prefer 70mai T800 dual 4K with 3 channels.

70mai is easily the best value. Different levels of video quality to choose from for different price ranges. I bought 3 of the A810 cameras, one for each of my vehicles. Super clear both in day time and night time, and they come with rear cameras too. The person warning you about wires likely has never installed a dash cam. I installed all of my cameras using one of the circle power outlets in the vehicles. Sure, I don't have continuous 24 hr surveillance but I don't really care for it. The hardest part was just tucking the wires behind the trim as nearly as possible, but even that is pretty easy. Highly recommend the brand for it's value (with the exception of their X800 or any of the overpriced egg-shaped cameras).

Jusst go for it me and my friends use it no problems

The specific brand or model of dashcam will make no difference to Eyesight. Per the manual, there is a recommended "dead zone" on the windshield where you're not supposed to mount anything. That said, I (and many others) have ignored those recommendations and placed my dashcam very close to the Eyesight housing with no adverse effects. FWIW, I have a 70mai T800 (triple camera setup). I've had it for about six months so far and it's been great. Simple setup, simple app interface, and great quality video and audio. It's pricey, but I'd buy it again.

How long you get for parking mode will depend on several things including how much power your dash cam uses in parking mode, the state of charge of your car battery, the condition of your car battery and the amount of motion in your parking spot. Currently, the Thinkware U3000 and U3000 Pro have the longest parking mode when set to RADAR. I've gotten past 8 days but again depends on those factors I mentioned above. If I were to use a dash cam battery pack I could probably extend it to past 21 days. These are expensive dash cams so budget will also play a factor. It's possible a different dash cam used with a dash cam battery pack could cost less and last more than what you need it for. Note too that dash cam parking mode differ between brands and makes so you would want to know how it really works for a specific dash cam. A lot of cheap dash cams implement parking mode not too great or use too much power or have a long wake-up time. This matters because if it takes a long time to wake-up you will miss recording some or all the action. Here is my comparison video on parking modes and power usage of some common dash cams: [U3000 vs VIOFO, BlackVue, Akeeyo](https://youtu.be/52nfmtyEEQ8) [My full Review of U3000 Pro](https://youtu.be/6PxwpG2-ZII) [My full Review of 70mai 4K T800](https://youtu.be/G88zYI3J5YE) [My full Review of VIOFO a129 Plus Duo](https://youtu.be/9YQGChfUGIY)

VIOFOs are big, wedge-shaped and have a screen (not everyone needs it). Video quality is the best. You can get polarised filters for both front and rear cameras. There is a remote bluetooth button as an accessory. Voice commands. Can write to an external SSD as well. VIOFO is not the cleanest to install in Sportage because Sportage has that big plastic shroud around the rearview mirror. Cannot install too close to it (or it would get into the frame) and doesn't look very nice installed under it since the camera is pretty boxy. Have to go to the side. Some install it ON the plastic shroud though. May be an option. Rear camera is compact. Rear cam cable is one of the thinnest on the market. Easier to tuck. Blackvue are cylindrical which makes for cleaner install and allows for more centred installation. Can go right under the said shroud. There are options like [https://blendmount.com/](https://blendmount.com/) that allow install on the mirror stem. Can get mobile connectivity. Expensive. Thinkware U3000Pro is pretty large but yes, radar mode is cool. Heat resistance of these is also very good. But they look big when installed. You can either have the internal third camera or the mobile connectivity unit. Not both. What else... 70mai T800 is cheaper and not bad, can get it with LTE connectivity.

800 is because they install it for you. It's really easy to install dashcam, a bunch of video on YouTube about that. Usually dashcam has all necessary wires and tools to install it. This is my collection: https://preview.redd.it/10k9iktxr29g1.jpeg?width=1301&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7c49922905ba0b9e3fbac457543639c6d1881db The most expensive costs 300 USD, but records 4k both front and rear (T800) and interior with IR camera. Using these cameras on 2 cars. Definitely recommend to have 4G Kit with external battery to monitor parked car. Helps to hatch suspicious activities near the car. I don't use fuse box on Rav4 Prime, just splitter for Cigarette lighter.
