do basic research, 1.5k, IMO is an enormous budget for dashcam

I have 2 units of ddpai, can find from official store:
https://shopee.com.my/ddpai.my

also join their official FB page, for updates/news/promo/etc

Like with anything else, there is the 'perodua/proton' range of dashcam, the 'honda/toyota' range, and the 'conti' range. I've been lurking in this thread long enough to know that some budget 3k for their dashcams (mostly the Korean brands). Totally out of my own budget, but also you do get what you pay for.

noted , thanks

For parents car, no need install so fancy stuff but high quality will do.

DDPAI Z50 GPS with rear cam set or the more expensive but latest model 70Mai A800S will do as well with your budget with lots of balance left.

will check out both models soon , thank you for your feedback

Looking for a budget front + rear dashcam with WiFi. Best of the WiFi app doesn't have built in ads.

Anyone use brands like Azdome, Dosen, Roadcam or Safecam? Azdome is less than rm200 and also sold internationally. From YouTube reviews seems not bad. But unsure of battery is capacitor or not.

Meanwhile, Dosen is a noname brand and Roadcam and Safecam are local companies. The latter three brands price range is below rm150.

The usual brands like Dppai and 70mai are easily above rm200 range. So I'm leaning towards the Azdome M17. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen,

Currently My Forester SJ using 70Mai A810 + rare cam, but my wife wish to have 360 cameras that support recording due to some unhappy incident.

May I know is there any brands that having such cameras and functions?

Thanks and appreciate!

I heard it won't void car warranty, may I know which car brand

The moment dashcam are hardwired outside of manufacturer service centre (not car manufacturer endorsed product), then it WILL usually void electrical warranty, once caught. Not all warranties, meaning chassis warranty, engine warranty, etc all still working. If you can removed traces of hardwire before sending to SC for any electrical warranty claim, can lar...just don't get caught.

One of way is to installed an OBD hardwire instead of fuse hardwire, plug and play.

Nissan. I didn't pursue further and anyway I've decided to go with basic by plugging into cigarette lighter which I've done for my all cars for the past 10+ years.

Hows the battery life drain for 70mai A810 full set + hardwire?

Yea I saw ddpai selling an Obd wire kit for its dashcam, looking at the installation video does not seem to interfere with the fusebox

I've installed Z50 GPS with OBD hardwire. Just plug and play. If you can reach your OBD port, you can just pull it out yourself and plug in when necessary. The difference with Cig port plug in? Z50 OBD port have a switch at the plug, can switch it to 24 hours or ACCs mode, ACC mode means when switch of engine, it will cut off power like cigarette lighter port. 24 hours will act like fuse kit hardware, 24 hours, can use for parking mode.

The only problem with OBD port for long term is if SC or mechanic want to diagnose the car system by computer, they will use this port but then you just have to pull it out (plug and play) and after done, plug back in. Mind you, by SC term, it still consider Hardwire, so warranty can be void but at least you can pull/plug back in yourself unlike fuse kit hardwire.

Ddpai z50 or 70mai a500s is considered budget with no ads in their app and pretty good yet reliable. Just go for either of this 2, anything else might as well don't install la.

ddpai z40 should be compared to 70mai a500s right?

ddpai z40 is cheaper by RM100 in this case IINM

after my honda city expires the 5 years warranty, then only i dare to put the dashcam with hardwire parking kit.
during warranty still active, only install via cig port/usb port.

dont want to face problems with SC later when i am doing claims later on.

any dashcam with OUTDOOR reverse cam?Need to install on old Dmax

Ya, if I buy new car, I will likely get the car manufacturer expensive and subpar dashcam if I must have dashcam. Really don't like external cabling to USB or cig port.

For after warranty car, I would advise going for OBD port plug is available. Easy to unplug unless fusekit hardwire. But then again only got 1 OBD port per car when technician uses for computer diagnostic but then again how long only we need such diagnostic...but obd dashcam plug can just pull out and plug back without repercussion when doing computer diagnostic.

just placed order on lazada for Z40 (front + rear) for around RM290 ...

Hope it will do me good

Wow! That's a very good price. Congrats!
