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 sensor

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

I tot you asking "budget" capacitor dashcam.

The z50 2k-4k quality and adequate night vision already consider pretty top range for budget price dashcam. A229 is over 1K excluding installation. That one not consider budget liao.

I figure your budget and my budget is really not the same coz my budget coming up to 800 is consider expensive liao...hehe. Most just go for 400 range dashcam under budget range.

Of course no battery draining lar when you switched off parking mode monitoring. Since you new car, in order to avoid any possible future warranty risk, no need hardwire. I also worry on warranty void issue no matter how unlikely it is since it affect electrical system and nowadays most cars are packed with electronics, the manufacturer reserved the right to void.

Well I know dashcam can go up to 2 - 3k+ so anything within the range of 1k is considered budget to me especially capacitor based dashcam haha. But good that you recommend me Z50 so now I know there's another option below 1k that comes with 4k recording as well. Otherwise there's also the A129 Pro (4k) and A229 Duo (2k) which should be similar in pricing.

I dont mind paying more for something with better video quality since its a device to safeguard us incase something goes wrong

What you mean by is it suitable? All models also suitable depending on your budget and preference.

If you mean hardwire OBD2, install only you will know got issue or not. Likely no issue as your model is not the latest with more installed tech or ADAS.

OBD normally no issue but no one can garantee. Install only know.
I have 2 older cars 2006 City and 2011 persona using Z50 OBD2 hardwire installed earlier this year. No issue at all.

I have a question tho for those using fusekit hardwire.
My OBD2 Z50 can detect the level of power of car battery and since I set cutoff at 12.4V, it will cutoff power to dashcam below this level in parking mode to protect the battery,

Does fuse hardwire also have this feature or the setting level of cutoff can only be done using OBD2 to scan the battery power?

the hardwire and sun thing is two different statements btw, not together

I bought the n5 dual during 9.9, gonna install it when the sd card comes, hopefully its a good choice

btw I want to ask if the app footage can view by multiple user or same account log in different phone? because very mahuan if only 1 person can see

oh i see

how about remote live view or access recordings? Is it must be in the car connected to ddpai bluetooth only? because this seems very outdated. All the gps and other features cannot be utilized.

I have the tapo cctvs, can access live view and playback anywhere via the app

Hi guys! I wish to ask for Thinkware product, we can view live video. May I know how does it work? We need to install mobile SIM card into the dashcam? Or we need to provide another SIM card device and connect to the dashcam?

I've been using 70mai a500s + the fc02 interior.

There's this problem of time sync issue occurred and been dealing with the support for almost 6 months.

Till now, had replaced full set of a500s + the interior and yet still can't solve the problem

70mai A810 location is always way off from where the car is. Already updated to latest. I think it’s a lousy product.

Hi all, got a 2004 Avanza and would like to add a dashcam. Someone recommended adding an android player with 360 camera but I think that one too difficult.

My budget for dashcam is about RM200-400. Car windscreen is also tinted.
