What dashcam you have in mind bro?

I understand your predicament bro. Best of luck on that issue.

I parallel park in this thread as am looking for a 2-channel dashcam to replace the mini 0906 which have been behaving erratically after the warranty period expired. 
Considering the Viofo A129 or Thinkware X700 as they both have LCD screen which I consider as quite helpful when the missus is on the steering wheel.

Don't think A119 v3 will be dual. Their dual is the A129 Duo d.

Trying to get a budget dashcam and below is the finding

XiaoYi Yi Mirror DashCam
Xiaomi Mi Mijia Car Camera 1S
Xiaomi 70MAI PRO
XiaoYi Yi Car Dashcam

which one will be better? or any recommendation? budget below 300 but might top up if it interest me..

major concern is during driving time able to capture the plate number & BEST if parking time.. if kena hit will auto turn on but seem most of it dont have the feature.. lastly long life span.

He wants long lifespan also. Those dashcam he listed out is not long life d 😂...

This so funny

I am just wondering, can we argue that we install the dashcam for our safety? Cause SC don't provide this dashcam service. We need to install that for safety which SC did not provide. If got accident, SC going to compensate, is it? Haha...can argue like this?

Thank you very much all sifus for sharing your knowledge!     

@blurjoey I Googled the OBD port and that method seems simple and neat enough. But this is the first time I heard bout using OBD port to power the dashcam. Is there any catch with using this method / y isn't this method being used by many people?

@Winter@7 I only go to the shop to remove the hardwire when I need to claim warranty right? For normal servicing at the SC, no need right? scared they make note bout the hardwiring during servicing...  Do you have any recommendations on any good accesories shop which can do this within Klang Valley?

I got a friend who installed A119S and A119v2 in his Subaru XV. You'll need to consider getting 2 micro SD cards also since you don't have issues with the power for the rear.

Or you can wait a bit as A129 Pro 4K is releasing soon in a few weeks. The front is 4K resolution and rear is 1080p resolution (can use either Duo rear cam or IR rear cam).

Read the 1st post. Most of the info is there.

Viofo A129 Pro 4K test unit just arrived 😊

Heavier than the A129 Duo/IR

A129 Pro not officially launched yet by Viofo. Heard will be launched in a few weeks.

My test unit is the final version which the retail version will be based on.

Fast-moving objects during night time are hard. Need to see.

Here's a sneak peek for this morning.



Hopefully, tonight don't capture any paranormals in the video recordings

1080p to 2160p is a huge difference     Also the A129 Pro is on High Bitrate mode which will use more space also. There is a Maximum Bitrate mode which I will test tomorrow if tonight's recordings are done.

Normal as all dashcams will get warm/hot when in operation.

This A129 Pro I feel is hotter

Another sneak peek.

No dashcams can capture clearly at night while moving fast

Unless slow down then it's clear

Perhaps in year 2020 there will be new sensor technology that can capture car plates clearly at night even when moving at 100km/h.

By then, keep up the good work reviewing dashcams.

Why disappointed?

But the speed trap is taking a photo only not video    

Hm... Checked my settings and seems the search bar was disabled. Have re-enabled. Thanks for notifying.

1. China firmware is in Chinese while International is in English. Also the Chinese have the eDog function which only works in China.

2. Yes, you can remove it from the mount. 70mai dashcam you can unscrew the hand screw and take it down. 70mai Pro is just sliding the 70mai Pro from the mount to take it down.

3. My current go-to micro SD card is the Samsung Evo Plus.

4. You can do either depending on your preference for 70mai and 70mai Pro.

5. Actually buying a premium dashcam like the Q800 Pro is not just to record a video when driving. More for the extra features like true parking mode, Extreme ADAS, Smart camera warning, cloud, etc. So it's an individual preference. The Q800 Pro is more of a discreet design. Anyway, I saw a few Yi dashcams got stolen more than heard Thinkware dashcams getting stolen.

Been seeing a lot of BMW or Benz or Civic Type R will only consider buying dashcams below rm300 but those who drive P2 will install premium Korean dashcams. Very confused by this actually. The above is not all the cars that I saw but I can say it is about 40-50% is like that.

I got a few "friends" who drive higher range cars and asked me if I'm selling off any of my dashcams for cheap.

Another friend who just got a new Civic Type R, was considering getting a dashcam for a few times but in the end, told me he cannot brain why spend 1k+ for a camera for a car. I even show him the video of the girl stealing the gold H emblem, he still tiada apa. I gave up d after he asked me for the 3rd time. I'm waiting for him to bang wall only now    

This cam super big in size even the rear cam is the same size as the front cam. And I saw the video quality is so so only.     

Hi guys,

I own a toyota camry.. it comes with a Toyota front dashcam from factory.. however, there is no rear dashcam.. any good dashcam to recommend? Budget ~ rm 500-600..

Previously i used viofo a119 for my old car.. but that was few years back.

Many thanks
