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?

70Mai pro does not have parking mode so we dont need the 3 wire cable is it? Just the 2 wire from shopee suffice?

Lithium battery aside , how is this compared to the /k favorite Viofo?

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.


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

Finally, may i know how much is it? where can buy?

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.

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

any way to change the language to English? Both on the dashcam menu and app?

GPS is more for the ADAS like lane departure, front vehicle collision warning, etc.

3 wires hardwire is needed for the parking mode.


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.

where to get international version?

Aliexpress

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

I follow the app's setup instructions. It also show which button to click to enable WiFi and some sort. Btw, are the wifi password common for all devices?

Yes, it's best to change it asap

Please share if anyone managed to flash the Chinese version to an English firmware. Thanks!
