Note – the user manual and FAQ is really a lot to read so I didn’t screenshot the whole thing.


Videos
Recorded in 1920×1080 30fps with an overall bit rate of 16.1 Mb/s. Firmware version 1.0.2.














Final thoughts
I think this 70Mai dashcam is a super budget dashcam below RM200 (US$50) price range with Sony IMX323 sensor.

The video quality is crisp and clear.

I don't have the chance to try out the voice command yet as if not mistaken have to be in Mandarin. Will test later when have time.

blurjoey, you review so many dashcams. How do you remove those stick-on mount cleanly without affecting the car tint? Can you re-stick after removal?

Mijia dashcams come with an electrostatic film which you stick on the windscreen then stick the dashcam on top of it. You just need to remove the electrostatic film to remove the dashcam without affecting the tint.

You can also get a small piece of tint from tint shop or those clear road tax sticker to use if don't have electrostatic film.

I also use clear acrylic mounting tape which can be removed easily and cleanly. There is also black acrylic mounting tape if you want it black. It's better than those foam mounting tape which is hard to remove cleanly.

oh ya, the demo/promo video doesn't make this clear, but do you have to always manually activate (voice or button) the camera for it to record?
(say, cold/fresh starting your vehicle and going to work, it does not record until you tell it to)

would be a total retarded hassle if so.

That's the emergency recording feature. Means the loop file will be kept in a separate folder that doesn't overwrite when full.

All dashcam have a button to press to do that. 70 mai uses voice command instead of a button

You stick the electrostatic film on the windscreen then stick the dashcam on it so you won't spoil your tint.

Read my blog, there is a link on where to buy.

Liked the mini size but feel like the image is much darker at night compared to the previous version. Have you compared it to the previous version?

Same design as the DDPai mini but a bit slimmer...

This is the only version of 70mai dashcam wor... I don't see a previous version of it...

Did you mean the Mijia dashcam? This 70mai dashcam is lower range than the Mijia dashcam.
