Hey lazada is selling for 209 but china version...

Can we flash it to English firmware?
*
Scared will be the same it will be like the 70mai dashcam, chinese version has 64GB flash memory and international has 128GB flash memory. Until now the english firmware can't be flashed into the chinese version.

I've check some review, look like samsung evo plus write is more better than sandisk ultra A1 (8xMB vs 2xMB) , tomorrow is 11.11, have some discounts... haven't know want to buy which one
*
You won't go wrong with Evo Plus. Ultra A1 maybe I'll get a 64GB to test and see in a dashcam.

Can you teach how to set up parking mode..? means you didnt use hardwire kit right..?
*
Just have to enable parking surveillance on the 70mai Pro or in the app. The internal 500mAh lithium-ion battery can run for a while. I estimate about 30 minutes+-.

Means after we turned off the engine, the dash cam is still on until the battery flat? or it will go to a standby mode..? if it is go to standby mood, should be more than 30 minutes right?
*
It will go into standby mode until the g sensor triggers then will record for 20 or 30 seconds.

Hi, I already bought Samsung evo plus 64gb, it's come with 10 year warranty, May I know that how to proof that my purchase date because item from lazada don't have receipt, or I need to register my on samsung?
*
You can ask Lazada for the receipt via Lazada Chat and they will email to you.

But do take note that Samsung and other cards manufacturer will void the warranty when these cards are used in dashcam or IP cams.

Only those High Endurance cards won't void but more expensive.

I don't said i use on dashcam, but it's possible to detect by service center this card is used in dashcam/ip cam or just normal used?
*
Not sure as never claim warranty before for my cards. As I roughly expect them to die in about 2-3 years time used in dashcams.

Hi guys,

Never used dashcam before so i need some enlightenment. What is the difference between the two cables in terms of usage and functionality?

https://shopee.com.my/Xiaomi-70Mai-Car-Buck...5554.1288244971
https://item.jd.com/31512999784.html
70Mai pro does not have parking mode so we dont need the 3 wire cable is it? Just the 2 wire from shopee suffice?
*
2 wires to power the dashcam when engine starts only.

3 wires does what 2 wires do and also power the dashcam when engine off for parking mode.


QUOTE(dudester @ Nov 16 2018, 03:47 PM)
Lithium battery aside , how is this compared to the /k favorite Viofo?
*
The video of the 70mai Pro is nice and clear as it's newer specs.

The parking mode pull from battery not good isn't it since it will put a tax on car battery? Correct me if I'm wrong on this
*
Depends on the dashcam for any voltage cutoff, etc. Another is to use iron phosphate battery to power the dashcam for parking mode. But not cheap. Safer than lithium ion powerbanks.

QUOTE(STANLee8808 @ Nov 17 2018, 11:52 AM)
Finally, may i know how much is it? where can buy?
*
You can find it in Lazada, Shopee, etc.

Thanks man for your kind reply. Btw u reckon the 2 wire cables is sufficient for 70mai pro? Because the GPS add-on will enable recording when collision happen during parking if I'm not mistaken. I didn't see it states always on recording available for 70mai pro
*
GPS is more for the ADAS like lane departure, front vehicle collision warning, etc.

3 wires hardwire is needed for the parking mode.


QUOTE(coo|dude @ Nov 17 2018, 10:20 PM)
any way to change the language to English? Both on the dashcam menu and app?
*
Buy the international version. Or get the English firmware and see can flash into the Chinese version or not? But be careful as might brick it.

bro i have a few questions

1) i have sandisk ultra class10 uhs1 64gb, can i use it to record in 2k & 4k resolution?

2) 64gb can record how long in 2k & 4k resolution?

3) im more prefer to 2k resolution as the aspect ratio 16:9, but can my sandisk ultra able to record smoothly and peace of mind?
*
Sandisk Ultra can't record 4K in true 4K cams. Will get error as the write speed is too slow. Sandisk Extreme series can as the write speed is faster.

I don't have a dashcam that can record in 4K so I can't answer that.

I don't use Sandisk Ultra cards as they fail very fast used in dashcams. I'm mostly using Samsung Evo Plus cards. No issues.

2K videos maybe can record about 4-5 hours in a 64GB card.

Hi, I had just got mine and is setting it up. Mine is the Chinese version, but the app is in English. Now, I can't read much Mandarin. Can I check with you that all the settings on the dashcam are available on the app itself? That means, there is no need for me to change the firmware to English and can just use it from the app, yes? Probably the only disadvantage to this is that the dashcam voice will still be in Mandarin.
*
App follow your phone default language. But do have a few in Chinese.

I have pictures of translation of the dashcam's menu in the first post if you didn't go through my review

Needs to be center and the lens angle needs to be able to view the hood.

Not the perfect ADAS but better than Yi dashcam ADAS I suppose.

if your car dont have ADAS like new Myvi : close proximity alert, car departure alert than it worth to buy. RM 69 for alerting ourselves wont be expensive.
*
But how good is the ADAS compared to the new Myvi. No one knows laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

QUOTE(shahrulnizam30 @ Dec 8 2018, 10:22 AM)
Chinese version. Still no luck in getting english firmware to flash it.
*
I'm waiting for someone to get hold of the bin file so I can try to flash it. Hopefully, the hardware is same for chinese and english version. And not like the 70mai dashcam which has different hardware inside.

Hi blurjoey, may i know myvi 1.5 advanced which part of windscreen is recommend to install 70mai pro? Myvi normal version is install to middle, how about the advanced model ? middle is asa system, so 70mai pro is recommend install in passenger side or driver side?
Thank you
*
If can, the lens should be at the center of the windscreen.

If using ADAS, it requires the lens to be center of the windscreen and can view some part of the bonnet.

eDog that works in China only.

Not sure about the specs though. Maybe it will be like the 70mai dashcam as China and international have different hardware specs.

if I were using a 32GB memory card for this 70mai Pro, is it sufficient?
I'll choose the highest definition setting in the camera
thanks in advance
*
32GB about 2-3 hours of drive video only.

Depends on how long you want to keep. 64GB is about 5-6 hours.
