Hi FnF LYN,

I have been thinking to buy a dash cam. I know many ppl do record only front side and some rear side as well.

Installing a front dash cam is not a problem since the port is near. I am having a hard time thinking on how to install a rear dash cam.

Because I am planning to buy 2 of this Xiaomi 70mai dash cam

Ya very agree with this. It is cheap and sleek design and packs with features. Can't complain much, it is just that very hard to find the english version here. Got any idea where to source the english version?

and tap power from fuse box using this :

Depending on type of your car you will need to find the correct type of fuse before you buy the fuse tap adapter.

You can check this video on youtube. For your case it would be the usb cable that you want to wire to the back to power the second dashcam(you might have to buy an extra long cable). So just remove the rubber seal and put your wire in there..

Just depends when you come to the rear of your car.. If yours is a hatchback its a bit difficult if you want to 100% hide the wire since you may need to open up the trim of your car. But if you don't mind, you can just let the last few meters show a bit and not worry about openning the trim.

Bro I got extra unit 70mai dashcam. U want?

If u want install rear. Just get longer wire pull to front. Or cable extension. Pull up some interior to hide the wiring. It would look nice in the end

China electronic product has been improving a lot for a decent price. Don't go and buy those super cheap item, definitely sucks. Find those are decent price and many ppl uses it globally.

like the say "Quality item doesn't come cheap"

I am amaze when I bought the china vape back when vape craziness trends around. The built quality is there, fine workmanship, good material. After that tried their phone, and yes the quality is quite good and improving as we speak.
