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 |

Save your money and get A500s.
More than enough for normal daily use. |

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 https://s.lazada.com.my/s.Tj3su |

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 |

after 1 week you wont bother checking the carcam. A500s with rear is sufficient.

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. 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.

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 |

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) This post has been edited by chupapi_munyayo: Jul 27 2023, 09:46 PM |

QUOTE(Imp Bron @ Jul 28 2023, 07:16 AM) 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 lolThis post has been edited by N9484640: Jul 28 2023, 07:28 AM |

QUOTE(frequency @ Jul 28 2023, 06:39 AM) my only complain with A800s after 2 years Same goes to the 70mia I'm using at the rear.too sensitive (using on mpv) sikit sikit then emergency recording, even you tuned the sensitive to lowest 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". |

QUOTE(vapanel @ Jul 27 2023, 04:27 PM) Maybe using Super Capacitor can last longer and won't burn your car down 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 bloat70mai using lithium ion battery will explode because of Malaysia hot sun QUOTE(urnicksux2 @ Jul 28 2023, 06:36 AM) yesterday my 70mai plastic mount melted and fell down No tint ka?i tried to put back its already deformed because of the heat |

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. |
