I think most if not all DDPAI uses capacitor.
I myself are using Z50 GPS with OBD hardwire. About RM800++ front and rear plus installation with OBD hardwire. Might be cheaper if get hardware separately but have to include installation cost too if you want to calculate total cost.
Best thing about DDPA Z50 is you can set battery detection to 12.4V before cut-off dashcam power to avoid issue with car starting. Usually car require 12V to start properly. Many other dashcam might just let it fell to 12V or below before cut-off. That is risky and at borderline especially if you are leaving the car in storage for a week or so.
Thanks. Just checked Z50 and also X5 Pro (i believe X5 Pro is their current flagship? The website is a bit messy). Both of them using IMX415 sensor which seems to be less effective in low light compared to IMX675 in Viofo now. Viofo A229 Plus is around 1k, and Pro around 1.2 - 1.4k without installation so the jump in price is not that much considering you're getting a better sensorI myself are using Z50 GPS with OBD hardwire.

I might not hardwire the dashcam although its my preference since my SA told me will void warranty.... this I need to check with more owners to verify
Current car using A129 Plus hardwired for 6 years already, never had issue with battery draining although i switch off all the parking and monitoring functions
[Edit] just checked prices for X5 Pro and damm it costs from 1.5k onwards??? I always thought ddpai is a budget brand haha. A229 Pro seems like a bargain in that sense
