For existing DDPAI N5 and Z60 user, is it possible to turn off the greeting message every time the dashcam is turned on? Hate all these AI voice beeps and bongs + it sounds a little vulgar

My personal opinion: the SC won't suka2 log a report saying your car has dashcam plugged into the obd port if you send for regular servicing.

Just like say you upgraded rims and you send it for service. Takkan SC logs every "mod" on your car if you're not claiming warranty kan?

Or you claim steering rack warranty, I don't think they will report you have the obd dashcam wiring.

Best to have an off the record chat with SA.

It also depends on the quantum of your claim and your relationship with service advisor/manager,
whatever off the record chat with SA doesn't prevent them from changing their minds when the
rubber meets the road

At the end of the day its's best to ask oneself if that's a risk you're comfortable taking

hi any dashcam to recommend for my new car? Common hot brands are now DDPAI and 70Mai. So far my current car is using Transcend DrivePro 200 since 2018 and still serving me well (exceptional is the night mode is so so if compared todays newer cam). Few of my friends who using 70Mai 500s so far said is doing good even park under the sun 24/7 at office and home. Thinking should i go with DDPAI since it is capacitor all the way. Prefer to have a basic one for cigratte lighter 12v usb connector will do. GPS is a must ..budget around 300-400? For Front and Rear

So far I have shortlisted DDPAI N5 and 70Mai A500/A510 with 4g live.

I do consider hirewire but kinda worry as it may mess with the fusebox since is a new car  sweat.gif but what is your guys experience?

Food for thought, if you're going with the cigarettes' lighter port the A510 may be a better option.
Both options require hardwiring for parking surveillance feature, however A500 can still record video when a collision is detected when parked as it uses a Lithium battery.
Supercapacitor in DDPAI are only used to transfer file to SD card once ignition is switched off, it cannot record during parking without a hardwiring kit.

All that hoo haa about supercapacitor being able to withstand higher temperature, I've heard of exactly zero cases of dashcam catching on fire and rarely any 70Mai
shutting down due to high temperature.

The HMC1450 battery cost 16 bucks a pop and its super easy to replace the one in A500/510, unlike the A800/810. Can you even find a replacement supercapacitor?

A510 cannot record in parking mode without hardwiring. Afaik none of the battery based cams can do so. The battery is just to keep the settings and save the last file after you switch off engine.

You're right. I set my A800 to switch off with the ignition, and I
could have sworn the dashcam started recording when someone
closes the door really hard, I'm still confused how I got it mixed up.

Appreciate the correction!
