    already start to implement this dash cam for our newer car. most user will opt for freebies like the dash cam nowadays. I use A800S myself. quite good on my old daily car. it serve me weel for 2 years already. another good brand will be DDPAI. we'll we asian have more option. but these 2 70mai and ddpai are great.

    agreed on the standardize this thing to newer car because this help so much whenever anything happens. it could be ourselves, it could be other person that cought into accident in front of us. in my country, 70mai is going head to head with another brand DDPAI which has similar specs, except it using super capasitor instead of lithium ion battery. from my perspective, i think super capasitor is better with our weather here, which is sun everyday except when its rainy. anyway, i wish to see your method to hotwire this dashcam into the car.

    Using this front and rear combo. It's reliable and cheap. The car charger broke randomly one day, fortunately the in-kit cable ends in a standard usb-a, so i can just swap out the charger with a generic one.
    My one complaint is the sensitivity of the automatic emergency recording. A mild bump on the road is enough to trigger it on medium setting and it gets annoying. Had to turn it back down to lowest.

    • @SomeGadgetGuy
      @SomeGadgetGuy  11 місяців тому +1

    I use two VIOFO A119, one front facing, the other rear facing as two A119 cams out perform their A129 duo package.
    It's been working great except for having to stretch and reach into the back of my F-150 when I'm alerted to perform the monthly maintenance format of the MicroSD card.
    I'm going to look into comparisons and see if the 70mai may be worth the upgrade.

  • @chrisgraham2904
    @chrisgraham2904 7 місяців тому +1

    I'm considering buy the A800S, but have a few questions I'm having difficulty getting answers to. (1) Does this camera shoot at 30 fps, or 60 fps? (2) What is the maximum size of SD Card that the camera will accommodate? 128Gb seems adequate, but can it take larger? (3) Your the only reviewer that I've heard that has referred to the Hardware Wiring Kit as a "Fuse Kit". Does the hard-wire cable contain a fuse, so that the cable does not have to be wired to the fuse panel and instead can be wired directly to a 12 VDC power source? Or...does the box on the cable contain a secondary battery to power the camera when the vehicle is not running?
    I need answers to these questions, before pulling the trigger, particularly because the A800S is over $300 dollars in Canada, with the hard-wire kit and an SD Card.

  • @Zaapiel22

    The first thing I do when I get a new (to me) vehicle is to put in at least a front dash cam. People who drive for ride sharing services might want to look into the ones that front and cabin facing setups, so you can easily claim the cleaning bill when someone chunders in your back seat.

    Just out of curiosity, is it possible to use the dash cam when driving while just connecting it on a powerbank? Like a 10000mah powerbank? I've blown a fuse when I was pushing and turning the charger of my dashcam on the 12V socket. 😅

    I’ve been watching videos on dash cams for the past 2 days. Started looking at videos from 3 years ago too. 🤦🏽‍♂️ tons of options out there but the simplicity of this dash cam and it’s video quality are what sold me on it. I have a VAVA dash cam. Started out working good. But within 2-3 years it won’t connect anymore. It was annoying cause I had to take the memory card out every time and reformat it to delete the videos. The loop feature didn’t work and my 128gb card would be filled with a few days of casual driving. Very time consuming and annoying. The biggest reason I ordered this dash cam is because the UI matters significantly other than the video quality. If you can’t connect to the dash cam when the car turns on the dash cam is useless. And I hope 70mai has support for these cams for a long time because VAVA is hard to get support for which is why I’m here. But this dash cam is pretty impressive. Just ordered the 4K ultra hd cam. Sad story that led me here. I wasn’t in an accident. But a few days ago a car infront of me wasn’t paying attention and rolled into the car infront of him. He backed up a little and drove off. A hit n run. I pulled over because I had my dash cam and told the other driver who pulled over that I may have footage of the whole thing and his license plate. Sadly. The dash cam wasn’t even connected and I was no help at all. Anyway if you read this all the way I’m sorry for being a keyboard warrior but just wanted to share some thoughts I had and why I chose this dash cam vs others around the same price. This one has good reviews just like others but it seems like this one is built really well and the UI might actually work. Thanks for the review man this review nailed it for me to get this cam!
