I haven't buy any dashcam because not sure how to install myself..

No longer trust accessories shop... all monkeys or gorilla working there, always damage stuff or scratch car here and there.

I drive to your place, ask you wife help me install.. lol

Scare to open the interior panels on the car. Few time experienced broken clips or plastic part when prying it open to route the wires.
Some interior parts cannot even buy replacement, chop shop also dun have  cry.gif

casual DIY dunno up to your standards or not la laugh.gif

we didn't even remove any plastic clips or parts, only slightly pry it open with hands and don't even have prying tool (the earlier 70Mai didn't include.)

Stuck on 4:3

thanks for confirming

really searched high and low, and just pulled the trigger for the A800
the 4:3 square recording was a real put off, and the various down scale cost cutting items from the A800.

that said, i do think the WDR/software HDR function that the A500 pro plus has and the A800 doesn't is kinda nice for night recording.
so that's a win over the A800 which isn't surprising as it is released just this year while the A800 was mid last year.

Im kinda confused with your statement, so you bought which one bro?

Anyway I started the day super busy till afternoon only to raised to needed to checkout LzD but it was too late cos A500S sold out😂😂😂. Ended up buying 2 of the A500 Pro Plus instead from Dasher 😂😂

Meanwhile bought 64gb SanDisk A1 separately... BTW is this considered entry or mid range? My first dashcam 😝

and just pulled the trigger for the A800 <--

i bought A800 + RC06 rear cam
with a SanDisk high endurance 128GB to have larger storage on 4k + rear camera full hd

A500S is basically pro plus, don't worry.
the major difference between A500 (pro) vs A500S (pro plus) is built in GPS and support for rear camera

A500 is mid range from 70Mai brand.
overall 70Mai is a trend setter/trying to lower the cost for dashcams.
think Geely Proton vs the big conti cars on tech and offerings.

entry level from 70Mai is lite, or 1S

Think it uses the mic from the front cam as there is no hole for the mic on the RC06.

Yeah that's what I thought as well, thanks bro thumbup.gif
