It would. That's why most dashcams are black so that it is harder to notice. If possible, you can also get something that is small like the ddpai or 70mai. These does not have screen and uses wifi to connect. There are also those rearview mirror dashcam which is more subtle.

Thing is, even if you install a RM50 dashcam, the robber wouldn't know. They see dashcam and think just whack only. Can sell.

lifepo4 i actually meet on RC toy. for controller which doesnt need a lot of current and need hold voltage very well.
I not sure how high C rate it can go. but i think blackvue and something similar powerbank was using lifepo4 if me recall correctly.

but lifepo4 also need to connect to fuse for recharging itself while engine start...so....somehow it will back to starting point.
unless the powerbank you buy support 12v charge from socket. and you didt care the extra cable running around your car.....

$199 at Amazon.com. was planning to get one but some reviews said the quality is bad. Like what you said, can't capture clear plate number.

The rest of 2ch is like RM1k++

If your dashcam is those highend one.. most likely they will run away with the car. If cheap one., Most likely the don't even bother unless they are some desperate drug addict.

iin highway on a fast moving cars, the number is difficult to capture, but for city drive, it is ok.. see attach pix, taken last time...



the plate number can see..

btw, pls check the warranty, coz my rearview cam was defective, i called the shop and they exchange it, no hassle 😊

If you have the budget, you can consider Viofo 129. It has front and back also and you can also but the cabling kit to connect to fuse for parking mode. You can contact one of the reseller in Malaysia, I forgot the name. (try searching here as it was mentioned before). Price with installation is around 1.2k including installation. Quality is good but parking mode is not as good as Thinkware or BlackVue.

Sicurez is the official distributor for Viofo in Malaysia.
They are also the dealer for Thinkware dashcam.

They can also do the installation, but at additional charges.

For the Viofo A119, does it save the recording if I turn off the car engine without shutting the device down first?

Yes. The last video will be save. No need to turn off device 1st, just off ur car.

The last video will be saved? What about the current video that's rolling?

He mean the video that recording before you shutoff engine will saved. If got parking mode it will go into parking mode record. If not dashcan turn off itself after save.

The supercapacitor in the A119 has enough power to save the current video files before turning off itself after you have your engine (aka the last video file) and also keep your settings like date and time until you start your engine the next time.

Yes will go into parking mode when the engine is off but the dashcam must have parking mode feature and also hardwired to the car fuse box via BATT & ACC to work parking mode.

Mini Q9 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Arpenkin-Mi...sAbTest=ae803_5

OBD or hardwire kit in included in the package. no Starvis, but 1080p dual camera is good enough for the package price. I like the fact that we can try to DIY using the OBD cable, save up the setup cost.

BUT, it mentioned 4.The parking mode only for the front camera, don't for the rear camera.. why...

Sorry guys, noob here. What is parking mode ?

Ability to record while car's parked and engine off... Basically, to capture any nasties within view.

HI, May i know does anyone install the Xiaomi 70mai Car dashcam, (not the Pro type) as rear dashcam? would it be a little unfriendly since the capture function is by voice?

The voice command is only extra feature. It have same basic function like all other dashcam. Meaning it can capture the moment you switch on your car.

It run using builtin battery or direct from our car battery ?
