Thanks for the recommendation, getting it tonight during 9.9 sales for RM450 since Garmin charged est. RM500 for a replacement unit
Is getting a CPL filter recommended? And also for the parking mode hard wiring, I've read some reviews said that I cannot plug into the USB port on the GPS mount but the one on the side of the unit only... is that true?
If you have lots of reflections on your windscreen then it is recommended to get a CPL filter but do take note that the video will be slightly dark due to the CPL filter and have a rainbow effect on other cars' windscreen like polarized sunglasses.
If not mistaken, can use the hardwire kit with the GPS mount's mini USB port to power the cam.
Hi.. is all thinkqare dashcam using capacitor? Include the cheapest model? Do we really need expensive dashcam? No budget but can't persuade myself to get expensive ones when cheaper 1 can do the basic recording...
All Thinkware dashcams have been using a capacitor for more than 10 years d. No more lithium battery inside.
You can get BlueSkySea B1W or Viofo A119 v2 for recording when driving only.
Only if you require more features like buffered parking mode, ADAS, smart camera alerts then look at higher range dashcams like Viofo A119 v3, A129 Duo Pro, Thinkwares, etc.
Nowadays dashcams are like medical insurance. Don't need it until you're sick.
Where can I get blueskysea? Im looking for shop selling dashcam and installation.. don like wire hanging around.. I no see viofo because I don like the display.. actually why some dashcam comes with build in display? What is the purpose yea?
If I got plan change tint. Should I change tint first before install the dashcam?
Do we need rear dashcam? Rear as important as front?
BlueSkySea only has official store in Lazada or Shopee. No shop is selling it.
Best to get it and either DIY install it or get an accessories shop like Shorty5 to help you install for a price.
The screen is more for people who like to view on the dashcam itself. Some people like to use wifi to view on mobile. I prefer taking out the micro SD card and use OTG on mobile. It's an individual preference.
Change tint 1st as the dashcam mount is tape mount.
The rear cam is becoming more important like the front cam. Videos from both front and rear cams are worth a thousand words.

Comparing a129 duo with thinkware f100.. viofo win in term of specs but how about aftersales support?
Can I get SanDisk sd card for these 2 models? Do I need to get endurance sd card only will have better performance? I see some endurance card only offer write speed 40mb/s...
I think I need parking mode as car always park outside.. if we no install hardwire for these dashcam, parking mode still can use? Does hardwire void car warranty?
Sicurez is the authorized distributor for Thinkware and Viofo. Got good after-sales support.
Get Samsung Evo Plus or Sandisk Ultra A1 instead. The newer Sandisk HE looks good and faster write speed.
Parking mode requires to hardwire to the car fuse box. No hardwire no parking mode.
All car manufacturers say anything not install from the factory will void the warranty.
Dear Experts, Between 70mai pro and 70mai lite, what are the differences? By looking at the price, lite is cheaper by another RM60. Was thinking of getting a budget dash cam for my car. Any recommendation? Budget 150-300 only. Another important note is, my car always get scratch and knock by other student in my college parking compound. Wanna record those whom are responsible for doing so. Thanks
You'll need a dashcam that has buffered parking mode. Like the A119v3 or A129 Duo or higher range dashcam from Thinkware.
70mai Pro's parking mode will only record a video after an impact is triggered. But you won't see what happens before the trigger, only after.
Thanks for your advise, noted on the differences between lite & pro. The A119v3 & A129 is way above my budget, any cheaper recommendation with similar function for parking mode. Between 100 to 300 range. When shopping around the accessories shops, all of them are too costly from Taiwan. They told me if I need cheaper solution I need to get it online (too many models to choose from)...confused.
A119 v2 with HK2 hardwire kit but it's not auto parking mode.
There is nothing with parking mode for rm100-300. Most are those impact triggered then record parking mode.
Maybe can look at those timelapse parking mode dashcam?
Thanks, seems like my budget is way too low for parking mode. The actual parking mode will have to wait. Will start off with what I can afford. Is Aukey DR02 good compared to 70mai pro?
You'll need to pull up specs and do a comparison between the 70mai Pro and DR02.
DR02 is using a capacitor btw.
