Anyone can comment is it worthy to pay little bit more for a800s?
Or a500s dah cukup? Ayam thinking no need 4k from a800s as long as can see plate no., Betul?

I'm using the A500s. Good enough for daily recordings. 4K maybe useful for spectacular accidents.

If got money, just pay that little bit more.

But the best for you to decide is to watch the comparison videos on youtube

All wrong

Please buy X200 so that you can record spectacular accident

When you pass by accident the camera automatically rotate to the accident view

Maybe using Super Capacitor can last longer and won't burn your car down

I remember saw comparison before, although lower resolution 500s actually seems a bit clearer, the only bad thing is the weird aspect ratio that some people may think it's so bad

70mai also releasing new 4k (a810?) soon

2k alone can see the plates clearly already

a800s if u ask me would be more futureproof but not necessarily needed

DDPai X5 Pro 4K + 4G Link box

get this TS if you can afford it. Damn clear the 4K video but front camera only. Rear using 2K but still clear for me also.
But at night, ok la still clearer than 2K resolution.

Now got 4G link box, ala Thinkware U series & Blackvue 970x dashcams' cloud service + online remote monitoring. But you gonna need to have 4G sim card inside & do hardwire and will draw power from 12V battery.

I went to Sicurez Sunway 2 months ago to install X5 Pro but without 4G link box (that time they didn't sell). Got 64GB microSD card free. RM1,699 plus installation.

but for the online monitoring, according to Sicurez boss, he says if buy together with power extender for Thinkware or Blackvue, the dashcam can run ~8 hours on parking mode. Without extender, ~3 hours only before dashcam cutoff to save your 12V battery from total drain.

so i guess, no point getting the 4G link box. hmm.gif

unless you have BMW or Mesilee, don't bother install those high end Thinkware or Blackvue dashcam that cost RM2k+.

70mai or DDPAi dashcams will do just fine for your Axia manual 2023 or BYD Dolpin LEL.

super capacitor dashcam quite rare or super expensive usually or crappy spec with cheaper price.

my old xiaomi dashcam i saw it got bloated and battery dieded almost immediately after engine off. so this time, if battery start pattern, remove b4 become fireball.

The higher resolution, the shorter the recording time. If want to record for long state crossing trip for future viewing just choose the lower spec one

im using A500s

good enough when not compressed - as in you copy over to your PC

day time, very good in capturing car plate

night time, depending on lighting conditions, as with all dashcams

didnt feel the need to get A800S


best review for you to compare - covers daytime, evening, night time

you can see that A500s has better colors

I think for maximum protection buy the 4channel dashcam that record the sides... This way if moto bodo t-bag you from sides still can claim insurance

I kena before, keluar lane he rempit drive 80kmh zone in 40kmh zone then t bag me

It's hard to prove I'm innocent without camera angle from the sides

Hope more reputable brand will release 4ch model

Better to invest A500s with rear cam.

digital optic is not so straightforward, there are many factors (lens, sensor, compression, codec, etc)
higher resolution is not always equal to higher quality image
and most of the time those normal consumer grade product they won't list very detail tech spec also, so quite impossible to know if just reading from spec sheet
that's why for commoners it's easier just check other people review or see it yourself

Trust me, get capacitor dashcam like DDPAI or Azdome M550

M550 comes with
dual channels (front 4K+rear 1080p)
Or
3 channels (front 2k+cabin 1080p+rear 1080p)

I think for maximum protection buy the 4channel dashcam that record the sides... This way if moto bodo t-bag you from sides still can claim insurance

I kena before, keluar lane he rempit drive 80kmh zone in 40kmh zone then t bag me

It's hard to prove I'm innocent without camera angle from the sides

Hope more reputable brand will release 4ch model

my only complain with A800s after 2 years

too sensitive (using on mpv) sikit sikit then emergency recording, even you tuned the sensitive to lowest

I do park car under direct hot sun 5 x 8 hours daily, so far so good for mounting and sd card

70mai is horrible, they package a shitty hardware in a premium looking case and properly design box. Go for other brands

I have a139 3 channels. I intend to make it into 4 channels when I get my new car. I will buy the new a139pro and use it as a single front cam. Use my old 3 channel a139 at the rear and sides. My only problem is the wires all too long lol

The mAh of dashcam batteries are not big enough to cause explosion.

Same goes to the 70mia I'm using at the rear.
Sensitivity put to lowest. Sikit sikit emergency.
But then at least it is working

Where as the front 70mia, I always turn off record sound. But at times the record sound will enable by itself. Can hear her saying "audio record enabled".

Maybe using Super Capacitor can last longer and won't burn your car down
70mai using lithium ion battery will explode because of Malaysia hot sun

Yup just maybe but I’ve 3 A500 installed more than few years. Installed right on the darker shade/tint of upper windscreen. So far no issue, crack or bloat

I've never read or heard of a dashcam's lithium ion battery causing a fire or explosion. Back when I used action cameras as dashcams, I used to have to replace swollen batteries approx every 1+ years.
Nowadays replacing such a battery in current dashcams is very easy...just plug in the new battery's molex connector...no soldering skillz required.

With that having been said, I prefer to err on the side of safety and will only use super-capacitor dashcams, and consider it to be a little bit more peace of mind in our already-complicated and busy world. But still there is a tiny rechargable battery inside supercap dashcams....the Real Time Clock (RTC) battery, which keeps alive the dashcam's settings. Its purpose is similar to the CR2032 CMOS battery on computer motherboards which keep alive the BIOS settings.

Just checked on shopee, A500s + rear + 128gb SD card is RM479, DDPAI z40 + rear + 128gb is RM529. Just 50 bucks difference, might as well go for DDPAI.

Ddpai got many complaints, hang, video unclear, app lousy
70mai one is more popular and less complaint, your call.
I go 70mai for less problem

diy pasang, just search in youtube your car model and install dash cam, almost every car can find
if you connect to cigarette lighter socket easiest no need mess with fuse box
more troublesome usually is hiding wiring to rear but if you don't care too much you can actually just let it expose like that
