Was aiming at 70mai m300 for my car, price around rm150.
Question is,
If my car only part outdoor and always hot. Dashcam battery will explode or not?
Will it drain my car battery?

only these

other brands don't count

and yes battery might explode under extreme heat
you can look at your phone manual normal operating temperature of lithium battery should not exceed 45c

Explode

My taman 1 car burnt 2 weeks ago

Top up sikit buy viofo with super cap, peace of mind.

Get a dashcam that uses supercapacitor, not battery. I have great peace of mind, thanks to that.

Pls read post #1 first

Use capacitor type one instead of Lithium Ion type one.

this morning 12am 70mai M300 sold at RM25
lol

Since yesternight i was about to buy d. Rm25 only. Checkout that time become rm 14+ . Include postage... Lol

Get capacitor type

Lipo I constant watch while charging in a fire proof bag already I act like a coward. People put this and leave it in their cars? summore charging with car without regulation? scary.

don't hide the cable...let it dangle in the middle
when the car is park...unmount the dashcam and put it on the floor

Hey, i just bought a 70mai dashcam and about to get an accesory shop to install for me. I plan to ask the shop to hide all the cables wor. Unker don't want dangling. Still can remove the camera if i cabut the cable right?

if u hide the cable...u have to cable the cable as well
so when u get back to the car, u need to mount the dashcam back + plug the cable back in

but for me, i just let it dangle

I plan to ask accessory guy to cut some wire and connect using an adapter for power instead of using USB port from Cigarette lighter. Good idea?

depending what dashcam u use, they got sell such kit
and not recommend to cut wire

go ddpai to look for that cable

So many concern
Just buy one and use it
Ask ask ask ask.ask....

You don't find the dangling cable irritating?

your car explode 1st

If car got good tint, still ok like mine
They can do it with hardwire kit incl hiding properly those wires. If install front $80 but if incl rear average $180.
