Hi want to ask, i went to car workshop for dashcam installation, but they directly stick it to the windscreen without using the electrostatic sticker....any way can remove the tape mount since it is super sticky without damage the windscreen tinted or it will become not so sticky after sometime?

Warm up it up with a hair dryer and slowly pry off. Or use a string and slowly saw it off.

Any Sifus can advice me some of my questions?

Currently I'm using 70mai Pro and I need 1 more dashcam for my rear view. It's sad that RC06 only compatible with A800.

Is it worth if I upgrade my 70mai Pro to 70mai A800 (with rear cam) or I straight away buy another dashcam maybe 70mai 1S or another Pro be my rear cam? Which mean Pro + 1S or Pro + Pro, much more cheaper than upgrade.

Question 2, if I install another dashcam instead of upgrading, can I use one of the dashcam connect to other USB port (my screen having extra USB port which I used to connect pendrive for my songs) since 70mai Pro only offer 2 USB port for the cigarette adapter, I used both port for my phone and also current dashcam.

Question 3, are those dashcam work with my screen USB? Im not expert in electrical field and I scare those electricity that come from my screen USB will burn my dashcam due to unstable or overpowered electricity. I also found that hardware kit are able to connect my current dashcam and enable the parking surveillance mode, but will it harm to fuse or the car or even the dashcam? Most important is it worth?
*
Q1. A800 is worth the upgrade as 4K and dual dashcam. You buy another 70mai then you'll need to consider getting another microSD card and where to power it. Dual dashcam is a rear cam connected to the front cam for power and only uses one microSD card.

Q2. You'll need to get a new USB car charger with more than 2 USB ports. HU USB ports are not meant for charging devices and might not supply enough power to the dashcam. Unless is those stated for charging devices. Try not to use ports for QuickCharge as some dashcams will burn due to a surge.

Q3. Hardwire kits are using fusetaps usually piggyback on the fuse slots. For 70mai, "impact then record" parking mode is not worth it as you'll only see what happens after the impact. But to some, it is better than not having any parking mode.

It's common for dashcam that uses lithium-ion battery inside as cannot stand hot weather

hi all,

i have a question. my 70 mai pro currently always reset the time. i know it need to change a new battery.

my question is ,  will it help if i add a new GPS module (currently non installed).
will GPS module help to syn the time? if yes i may just skip battery change and add a new GPS module.
thank in advance
*
The battery is more important as it will save the last video file when you off your engine or when the engine turns off in an accident...

Best to use the dashcam to format the new micro SD the first time.

70mai pro plus

is this ok ? btw what the difference between the normal version and global version ?

also this will still record once parked ?
*
Global version is usually English version.

70mai parking mode will now need the hardwire kit to work if not mistaken. And also 70mai parking mode is "impact then only record" parking mode.

Let's say if a more budget friendly version can go for 70mai Pro?

Actually, the A500 and A800 are considered budget-friendly d.

Need clarification.. can the a500 use with rc06? Lazada seller said cannot but i saw at 70mai website sais compatible..

https://70mai.store/products/70mai-dash-cam-pro-plus-plus
*
The A500 (70mai Pro Plus) cannot use with RC06 but the newer A500S (70mai Pro Plus+) can use with the RC06.

The link is 70mai Pro Plus+ (Pro Plus Plus) aka A500S so can use with RC06.

Hi bro, I'm looking for a front and rear car cam, and seems that the A500+ is quite ok at slightly less than RM300.

At this price range, is the A500+ the best option? Or do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks

70mai is the best budget dashcam but using lithium battery

Hi sifoos,

My A800 parking mode doesn't work. I have the hardware kit installed but no luck. Already hard reset also still the same. I am aware that it records on g sensor but i knock directly on the camera also it doesn't record. After i off the engine, it doesnt go into parking surveillance mode. It just turns off by itself. Due to the hardware kit i can turn it back on but need to let it keep running like that. I only want to record when there is an impact.

How to make this parking surveillance mode work? Please help.

Thank you in advance.
*
Did you on the parking surveillance in the settings? Did you connect the hardwire kit correctly in your car fuse box?

Hi, recently my dashcam video is gone. Not sure is it auto delete all the videos when the memory is full.. (32GB) I never bother to check on the videos until one day I wanted to look back, and to my surprise the old video are gone. Only have the recent day, which is the day when I open the file.

Anyone have the similar experience?
*
Old videos will be deleted first when the card is full. That's how dashcam works.

32GB can keep about 1.5 hours of video only.

You want to keep longer then you'll need a bigger size card.

Less. Cause I drive for 30mins.

Actually I think the root cause is my memory card. Cause today I tried again, and I notice my video pause and  delayed when I switch to album to see the video (keep loading).

What card are you using?

Sandisk class 10 - 32GB. Any recommendation on microsd that is reliable?
*
Sandisk Ultra? If this then you better change as Sandisk Ultra is well known to die quickly when used in dashcams and home cams.

Go for those High Endurance micro SD cards. Got warranty when used in dashcams or home cams.

Hi Sifus,

Just got my 70mai A500s, would like to ask about the installation of the electrostatic sticker. Since I see the camera lens is located at the left hand side of the whole unit, meaning that I should place the sticker a bit to the right hand side so that the lens position will be exactly at the middle of the windscreen right?

Also about the height to install, from your experience which position is the best, both for the coverage and the reflection? Shall I just put it as high as possible?

Thanks in advance
*
For me I prefer the lens to be as center as possible. But it also depends on your preference.

The height is somewhere near the behind the rear view mirror so that the dashcam does not distract you.

Hi guys, im unhappy new user here 😓
The problem is the device will hang or jammed screen most of the time. This is new device and used for a week only.

*using hardware kit, but switch to USB cable wont help.
*Using Sandisk ultra class10 64GB SD card, format already, was used on previous Yi Dashcam without problem.

Any sifu here can help for self troubleshooting before i send warranty?

If you are planning to buy 70mai a500s, please think twice. I been used few week and become like this. Spend money to buy headache, or maybe im the unlucky one. 😓
*
Sandisk Ultra is not a good card to use on dashcam. Try with another microSD card and see.

Or reset to factory settings and try again.
