My A800 70 mai shuts itself off after awhile being used. I will have to disconnect power from cigarette lighter port then its ok. My car is cx5 and i have used it as front dash cam only hope to get some solutions as i have tried everything I know except changing the cable to another power cable (incoming power to dashcam)

Did you change the brightness for the front cam? What is the firmware version?

From my review with medium bitrate and WDR on.


Yes CPL is like that. Same as wearing polarized sunglasses.

Hi. I'm looking for a good front and rear camera. budget around RM 500. Would prefer those camera would still active all the time even after parking.

thanks

Hi. Mostly I park at indoor. but sometime need to park at outdoor too.
If one is good for outdoor, it will be good for outdoor too. isn't it?

Hi guys, any shop to recommend to buy and install dashcam in PJ area?

My budget is around RM500 without installation. Any dashcam to recommend?

just bought and installed a 70mai a500s and the video quality is superb both in day and night time.. but one thing i notice there's like few dead pixels / hot pixels on my video recordings when i watch back.

at first i thought maybe my pc screen got problem so i go test on youtube for dead pixels but couldnt see it there.. so then i view back the dashcam videos and can conclude its coming from the dashcam itself.

want to ask is this normal or abnormal? if it is abnormal i would claim warranty for it.. when i try google it, people say it is normal though and nothing much can be done? 

at first i only notice 2 dead pixels few inches apart from each other but they are at the bottom of the video where the black dashboard is so that's why i noticed it because it become obvious after viewing multiple dashcam recordings and they all remain at the same spot..

then after i google about it, my ocd kicked in and i spotted two more random dead pixels elsewhere.. but the two really need to try hard and go pixel hunting only can tell la. after spotting these other 2 dead pixels i stopped myself from looking further already or else im gonna be very unahppy..

so yeah back to my question, is this normal and we just have to live with it? or its something abnormal that could be claimed through warranty..?

Do you guys think 4k recording is a must? I feel it’s a bit overkill. File size for a 4 hour drive must be huge.

LOL I finally found the solution after tinkering with my Z40.

Had to reset the whole device and then reconnect via the app. Somehow there was a new firmware update detected (previously no prompt to upgrade firmware).

After updated firmware, tested the time/date is working fine now

For z40 can we just connect to cigarette connector to power it? Must we connect to fuse box?

generally i find ddpai's UI (both dashcam and app) less intuitive compared to 70mai. 70mai app is very clean and minimalist look, straight to the point. Easy to navigate around because everything is just clear.

But 70mai all using battery, I scared it won't last under our hot weather.

any 70mai users here already more than 1 year can share your experience?

would love to hear as well. if battery spoil can ownself replace battery, that one still ok. worried if the dashcam unit itself will spoil or get fried due to heat..

i have seen some people say they use 70mai for 3 years no problem, i have seen some people say they use 70mai less than 1 year spoil.. 
but overall a lot of variables thrown in as well in both situations, some of those spoil <1 year after some digging find out they used their car usb or android player to power the dashcam all these while which could have contributed to its early demise (always restart/shutdown)..

i can give you my feedback 1 year's time from now 

anyway on that note, my 70mai a500s runs extremely hot when in use, even at night time and running for like 30 mins only... the hot is like i cant even touch the dashcam levels of hot.. is this normal for dashcams? and when i take the microsd card out, the microsd card is very hot as well..

now im thinking whether this is normal or it could fry the microsd card in the future.. can the microsd card withstand such heat?   its a lexar 64gb microsd in case you needed more info

i heard even z40 also will be very hot when running. for those using z40 is this the case for you too where your dashcam gets very hot when its running to the point its uncomfortable to hold/touch it?

My dashcam is viofo a129 plus duo. Not a good model from viofo due to flaw & no more buffered parking mode. Any suggestion new dashcam with good parking mode with feature that alert driver parking record events when starting the car engine? I dont mind viofo other model if have this car startup parking event alert.

70mai's parking mode is kena banged then only start recording parking mode

Hello, I have a Z40 front dashcam. but I realised that it only starts to record when my phone app is connected to it. whenever I start my car it will say "start recording" and have blue light. Anyone facing same issue or got some fixes?

Anyone have this issue with ddpai app on iOS?

I can view and download video from the app but can’t share it via the app.

In my phone gallery there’s video but can’t be played.

Is Z40 still a good buy, considering price reduced and now around RM3xx. I am looking for only front cam, non GPS. Thanks.

The only drawback is the app. I find it not very user friendly.
