I never use the electrostatic film. You'll need to test and see.

the battery will not charge if the device is off
so what i suggest u to do is, remove the dashcam from your car, plug it to your phone charger, leave the dashcam on, but go to "album" to stop it from recording and leave it to charge

Ohh like tat.. okok thanks for the info

i'm assuming your dashcam is brand new
so the battery charge probably got drained during the storage period

the built in battery quality isn't that good tbh
so for now that's the only way to charge it up real good since most of us won't be doing long distance driving for a while

Yeah, still new. Better to top up full first.

Do take note that the 70mai parking mode is "only records after impact". So it won't show the before the impact. Only after.

The internal battery of the 70mai can last some time as it only records after an impact is detected.

It's not true parking mode like those on dashcams like Thinkware and Viofo. Those will record 10 seconds before and after the impact/motion is detected.

But it's better than don't have at all.

but i see 70mai pro can do hardwire for timelapse video, is it for that function? the adas function dunno is it becos i it cant see my car head, so it cannot gauge car in front is moving. I tried wan stick the black color area where the rear miri stick to, but that area macam abit porous so the electrostatic film macam cannot stick there.. maybe need to move abit to the top right but it will become not very in the middle.

Buy the new 70mai A800 4K dual dashcam for rm478 in Lazada or Shopee.

2 dashcams, you'll need to buy 2 micro SD cards and think of 2 places to get power.

damn should have bought this

Do we have a dedicated thread for the new 70mai a800 dashcam?

Bought a unit from taobao, hopefully this weekend will receive it.

Been using the 70mai pro for 1year plus, other than the loose gps, all seems fine for me...

i hope they improve the gps from heat.. cos from what i see, is the gps holder clip become loose. mean if i push the clip will "tick" sound, then i release then it will sag back so the contact is not there. really lousy design i tot they can withstand heat.
