hi guys
(1) wanna know what is the function of xiaomi 70mai pro wifi hotspot? let say if i already enabled wifi hotspot and installed the app on my phone, and my brother drove away my car where the 70mai pro installed on it, can i just simply use the 70mai app on my phone to see what the 70mai pro record? or it must be within a distance to operate the 70mai app? sorry i know this is a stupid question.
(2) i put an electrostatic sticker on the windscreen, and then stick the camera mount on it. Can i simply peel off the sticker and then put on the another part of the windscreen? or i need to use another new sticker?

Only your mobile phone that has the 70mai app can connect to 70mai Pro when using its hotspot. You cannot view when someone else drove the car with the 70mai Pro far away. 2. If not mistaken, you'll need to use another sticker or get those clear road tax sticker which does the same as the electrostatic sticker

I know this 70mai pro can operate up to the temperature 60 degree. But i used to park my car under the sun when working. can i always bring the camera away with me when i leave the car and install back when i drive the car home? i know it sounds crazy, but i just buy it, dont want this camera "die" so early. p/s : i dont use the parking mode

Slide up if not mistaken. But scared you might forget to put the 70mai Pro back up when you get in the car or take it down.

QUOTE(blurjoey @ Aug 1 2019, 10:22 PM) 3 wires don't work that way. 3 wires will detect when the engine is off or on then use the proper ACC or BATT fuse to power on the dashcam. If you use the 2 wires, it will record non-stop even when the engine is off. Quite dangerous as the dashcam will overheat due to non-stop recording. 70mai Pro is not true parking mode dashcam as it will record the incident when the g-sensor is triggered. It' not like Korean dashcam with buffered parking mode which is recording without saving, when motion or impact is detected then it will save 15 seconds before and 15 seconds after the trigger. Thought they claim can use Timelapse recording for parking mode. I have this installed but not able to locate the function actually. Checked online, seems possible but cant locate the settings.

QUOTE(jetblast @ Jul 16 2019, 08:25 PM) Thanks. Just updated the firmware. The one reason I regretted buying this is now solved. Now has speed recording Problem with this though, the GPS location and Speed is not visible on the downloaded video. It can only be viewed on the app while streaming the video. Unless i am doing something wrong.

No timelapse parking mode. https://www.70mai.com/en/dash-cam-pro/No such settings means don't have the feature.

There was no timelapse parking mode in the first place. Those sellers don't know what they are selling. Even in the 70mai Pro guide you posted writes only impact triggered parking mode. Nothing about timelapse parking mode.
But there is a new model coming soon - 70Mai Mini  I saw in the picture got state timelapse parking mode. Have to wait for actual release then will know. This post has been edited by blurjoey: Aug 7 2019, 04:39 PM

Appreciate your feedback and comments. Let's hope the new model also comes with it. I also did check with 70mai support today and they too confirm there is no timelapse function for the dash cam.

Unless i am doing something wrong. It can be viewed it the downloaded video but through the 70mai app. Not necessarily only through streaming. Yes with another video player no GPS info.

QUOTE(blurjoey @ Jul 28 2019, 07:01 PM) Max is 64GB according to specs but you can test and see if a 128GB can work or not. Just make sure they know how to install it and not cut any wires. Finally installed it on my car. The gps is successfully calibrated. But it only gives warning when I changed lane. It doesn't warn me when the car in front is too close or starts moving. I can see the dashcam marks the car with green box though. What's the problem? Once calibrated, we cannot adjust the camera position?

Can 70mai pro powered up by powerbank?
Spec stated input 5v 2a, so most powerbank got 5v 2a output.

QUOTE(Ultima @ Aug 20 2019, 11:11 PM) If for juz recording while driving, its ok right? Why don't just use the USB car charger to power the dashcam? I find it a hassle to use a powerbank. What if you forgot to take the powerbank and left it in the car? What if you forgot to power on the dashcam and have an accident?

But maybe you can reset you 70mai Pro to factory default and setup again and see?

Yes Sir, calibration for the ADAS. Thanks for the advise but yesterday it seems suddenly the calibration for ADAS is done by itself while my car is on parking mode .. lol
