Your headlight beam seems to be out of alignment in the night drive video ie too high, beam scattered all over...

Anyway how's this compared to A800? Am new to this, should i be worried about the battery since cars will be parked outdoor most of the time?
Am now exploring to equipped this dashcam on all cars especially driven by the kids
Front windscreen has another darker tint, should the camera be placed there or lower as i don't it to obstruct the view?

Good info here mate!

OK undecided yet if 4k front is really necessary and to hardwire it.. Found a 2 mth old video which is informative on A800

A500S global no stock though in Lzd but any idea what's the labour cost like to hardwire in KV and shop?

From what I've learnt this couple of days reading, no need unless battery flat due to too long did not start the car
Pls share your experience so far with 70mai and what prospect buyer should be looking out for. Thanks! 👍
If this is the case how? DIY is easy as top engine gasket change for Jap cars

Dang.... Noted
Oh damned

Off topic a bit, for Pro Plus A500...

What is the right sd card spec to buy?
Do you guys buy together fro dashcam seller usually?
Should I get 32gb or 64gb? Why?

Got lousy bonus for exceptional performance, so I need to downgrade dashcam cos of budget...

Cheers!

Noted sifu... Seller Dasher recommends 64gb, if buy separately may save $16 😂

SanDisk Ultra

Damned... Got 2 type, which do you recommend? Totally noob...🙏
Some other sellers selling much cheaper not sure if it's original...🤔
Anyway in cart await 3.3 sales to save few more bucks here there. Gotta check if rear cam will obstruct rear electric blind in beemer..

Bro

Before I pull the trigger on my first entry level dashcam, what are the expectations or concerns I should expect and anticipate fro this model or brand?

Decided not to hard wire it for now...

Cheers mate!

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 😝

I thought the diff between A500 and A500S is just the rear camera while both equipped with built in GPS..No?

Anyway if it's mid range then I'll be damned... Cos should go with entry level for beginners....🤦‍♂️

Well what I did was reset the cam, start afresh all over again and it worked

Adding this to CX3, gonna hardwire it but not for parking monitoring as I want the ciggy port for other purpose. Car parked indoor most of the time hence not too concern with battery (ddpai or A800S a bit off budget actually 😜) and kinda like the phone app. Bought at $353 incl SanDisk Ultra A1 64gb separately.

Not sure if this is global version though although seller confirms it is. 🤔

Update : Unit worked well, ADAS seems to setup much faster. Wiring installation cost $180 incl the "kit" and completed within 1.5 hour at Ara Dsara on 2/12

Not sure is May 1st has another sales...😆

Which one you're buying or intending to buy?

So what have you bought eventually? Receive yet? Just cancelled A500S on LzD and ordered Z40 for $306 without gps which seller said will ship out today 🤔

Perhaps reset your dashcam, do format sd card when you get the new ones and reinstall your app while you're at it... Seems you're not having a good experience with the dashcam and sd card... Chill😁

If the ciggy port in your car OK?

I've installed 3 A500S and none had issue while experience has been great so far using ciggy port and fuse tap
