I like that it records 24/7 but I wish the videos were organized to another folder like “movement” near the car versus looking thru every video before formatting

Great review with layers of info

@Rob165x 25 күн бұрын

Just bought it yesterday. Was able to get some coupons added on amazon that dropped it below $150 (which is already gone, bummer, a friend wants one). Worth the price, it puts my old VanTrue cam which was almost the same price (on sale) to shame. It's very responsive and has a tutorial on bootup to set it up, the software is solid. Gives you a QR for the app, which works seamlessly (US version). No lag, no loading, it finds the camera through Bluetooth then connects to it through WiFi immediately. I'm used to dashcams being sluggish, this thing is impressive and has a good list of settings. The app playback and library is really good and fast too, it even has search options, no hickups or bugs (on iOS). Good buy and not that many cameras in this price range have the Sony Stavis 2 sensor (a must to catch license plates), another that's cheaper is the Viofo A119 Mini (but it's single channel - no rear cam) and the A229 which has a rear cam but is slightly more. But I'm glad I got this one, packaging and presentation are superb.

I've heard that Dash Cams drains the car battery quickly, even when the car isn't running. I only drive my car twice a week, so is it safe for me to install it, or should I unplug it from the USB when I'm not using the car?

@rjtheultimateputa 10 ай бұрын

I purchased the A800S with the rear dashcam bundled for my car, and I have been more than impressed with it so far. It's kinda cool how it automatically starts recording when it senses a sudden, jarring movement (which happens often in the pothole-laden streets of Toronto), and I even tested it while parking by shoving the car from the side and it immediately started recording. Still, it baffles me that one of the best dashcam on sale in North America comes from Xiaomi's 70mai brand and not a camera or electronics brand that's more reputable in North America like Sony or Samsung. Seems like a missed opportunity

I know right! There was a time companies like Garmin were making some really interesting options, but they were also really expensive. Other smaller brands stepped up with "good enough" 720p and 1080p cams at crazy low prices. I think it was just too hard working razor thin margins for a product Americans are woefully under-educated about.

@rjtheultimateputa 10 ай бұрын

@@SomeGadgetGuy Exactly! And you're so right about car companies being super lazy about this, too. I mean, so many cars have 360 cameras and use cameras for their ADAS and somehow those camera can't double as dash cams? Doesn't sound right to me

@rjtheultimateputa hi just wanna ask since you already own the a800s, did they also release an update where the cam, also records something before it detects any signal in the g sensor while in park mode?

I asked the folks at 70Mai, and they said that the current head cameras should be compatible with all the rear cameras they've released including the RC06.

@AsMiR11 9 ай бұрын

@@SomeGadgetGuy Thanks you very much. That is great 👍 I found some sources where they say only difference is that RC12 can record when in parking mode but when you use other rear camera (e.g. RC06) it can only record when driving and not in parking mode. That seems okay and fair, we can combine A810 with other previous models of 70mai rear cams.

Been thinking about considering this brand. I've been using a Viofo A119 for for a few years, but it's starting to play up. Want to get a newer Viofo, this time with dual camera. But seeing this a810 review, I'm going to have to look this up.

@SomeGadgetGuy 10 ай бұрын

Some solid options out there. Good pros and cons between those two brands. I think they have a Starvis 2 option also.

@joynul 10 ай бұрын

@@SomeGadgetGuyYes they do. But couple pros I like with Viofo are the way the wires can be completely hidden going upwards into the head lining, and also the price, where I've got to buy 4 sets - replace mine, get one for the wife which I said I'd do since last year, and also for two of my kids who have now got there own cars! The features on the 70mai you showed though... maybe just for my own car?!

Are there any dash cams that can withstand constant direct heat from the sun? I have gone through about 10 so far

@SomeGadgetGuy 9 ай бұрын

Unfortunately heat is the killer of all electronics, but I would also double check your wiring and cabling if you've gone through that many. I usually get a couple of years out of my cams, and SoCal gets pretty toasty over the summer.

@Bacnow 9 ай бұрын

Thinkware offers the most heat resistant dashcams on the market! The U1000 and U3000 are premium (and pricey) units that do well in hot climates! Blackboxmycar has several KZfaq videos testing these devices and those 2 both survived their “Beat The Heat” dashcam torture tests!

I just need to know. Can you buy the A810 and record inside AND outside?? And also will connecting it through type C drain the battery of your car? It would be my first dash cam!

@SomeGadgetGuy 6 ай бұрын

If you use the accessory port to install the second camera, you can get a feed inside, but then you wont have a rear camera for traffic. I keep mine connected to a USB in my older car, and it just shuts off when the car is off. I'd recommend installing via the fuse kit, to get the extra security options. It techincally DOES drain your car battery, but it's so minimal you won't notice for day to day driving.

I'll have to look into this for my next dash cam. I hardwired my Viofo A129 into my truck, but the app is very clunky to deal with. I do appreciate the polarized lens cap accessory, since the glare from the windshield and sunset were painful to look at on the 70mai. Would you say the app for the 70mai is intuitive or are there a bunch of unwieldy options kind of cluttering it up?

It's SUPER simple. I kinda liked that it wasn't cluttered up with editors or social media sharing. Not a lot of other frills tho.
