70mai 4K Dash Cam A800S with Sony IMX415, Front and Rear,Built in GPS, Super Night Vision, 3'' IPS LCD, 24H Parking Mode, ADAS, Loop Recording, iOS/Android App Control

Rear camera could use an upgrade but it's good enough. Front camera is very good. Controls are easy to use, I love the form factor and the screen is angled good to be fully usable.One, well, two, issues, both with retrieving videos using my Galaxy phone:The card is not formatted in a standard FAT32 style, but close. Using a card reader, it is almost never properly seen when plugged into my phone, and when plugging it into my PC I have to re-plug it two or three times before it'll be seen as a usable card. And attempting to use wifi to download to the phone absolutely failed several times yesterday (fortunately, it was only for something I was interested in seeing rather than something I needed to save).No battery or super-capacitor, it turns off within seconds of losing power so if you want to keep recording when stopped, leave the engine running or hardwire it. And turn off the parking detection as that will turn it off a few minutes after it detects no movement.

Hey there fellow road warriors and potential future dashcam enthusiasts! I'm cruising through with a review of the 70mai dashcam. Buckle up, because we're about to take a joyride through the highs and lows of this nifty little gadget.First let's talk features. This bad boy boasts not one, but two cameras – one for the front and one for the rear. It's like having eyes in the back of your head, without the creepy neck craning. Plus, the video quality is top-notch, so you can catch every glorious moment of your road trip adventures, or the occasional fender bender (fingers crossed for the former).But hold on to your hats, folks, because here comes the kicker: the Emergency Mode. Now, I'm all for safety features, but this one seems to have a mind of its own. It's like having a paranoid passenger constantly yelling "we're under attack!" at the slightest pothole. Seriously, I've never seen a camera jump to conclusions faster than my grandma during bingo night. Thankfully, a few tweaks to the sensitivity settings can dial down the drama. But without shutting the feature off, it still happens too often.Now, let's talk convenience. When you're parked, you can play director with your own personal movie screening thanks to the built-in screen. And if you're feeling extra fancy, whip out your phone and access the footage via the app (that's how you save the footage). Just a heads up though – Big Brother is always watching (and listening), so mind your Ps and Qs, especially when belting out those car karaoke classics.Installation-wise, let's just say the directions in the box were about as clear as mud on a rainy day. But fear not, my friends, because YouTube came to the rescue. A quick search and I found an unboxing video that walked me through the setup process faster than you can say "subscribe and smash that like button."Now, here's where things get a bit tangled – literally. Depending on how you route the wires, you might find yourself playing footsie with them more often than you'd like. It's like navigating a spaghetti noodle through your car from one end to the other, with your toes as the unwitting participants. But hey, a small price to pay for peace of mind on the open road.And last but certainly not least, let's talk moolah. The price tag on this bad boy is a steal, especially considering the high-quality video and audio you're getting in return. So go ahead, treat yourself to a little extra insurance against life's unexpected twists and turns.In conclusion, the 70mai dashcam is like the trusty sidekick you never knew you needed – always there to capture life's bumps and bruises (and maybe a few chuckles along the way). Just remember to drive safe and buckle up, my friends. Happy trails!

Installation of the front camera, rear camera and hardwire kit in a RAM 3500 crew cab pickup took about 3 hours. All of the supplied cables were more than long enough to use in a vehicle that size. Getting the cameras up and running after installation was really straightforward. The picture quality, day and night, is excellent and I would buy the 70mai A800S again. That said, nothing is perfect and so I found things that need to be improved. #1 on the improvement list is the setup instructions. During setup the user is given several options. For instance, options for video length and options for how long the camera stays on when you exit the vehicle, however, the instructions give no information to help the user decide why you may want to choose one option over another for your particular situation/needs. #2 on the improvement list is the 70mai app. The app does allow you to connect to the A800S internal WiFi and it does a good job of allowing you to view video saved on the SD card. The issue I have with the app is that it takes way too many keystrokes to be able to view a saved video. It seems that every user command input simply brings up another warning window that the user has to clear to finally arrive at being able to view the saved video. A little information about video playback. On my first attempts to view recorded video from the SD card, both on my iPhone XR and on my laptop, the video quality was lacking. The video had a somewhat 'liquid' look to it, a sort of motion blur. The quality was good enough to show what happened leading to a traffic incident, but impossible to get any detail like a license plate number or road signs. I replaced the SD card with no improvement so I actually thought the camera was defective and requested a replacement from Amazon. Before the replacement arrived I found the answer to getting clean, crisp video from the SD card. I downloaded a VLC media player to my laptop and when I played the saved SD card camera video using the VLC player, BINGO, clear crisp HD video! I have now purchased a Lightning to SD card reader from Apple (about $30 on Amazon) and downloaded the VLC media player to my iPhone and iPad. If I want or need to view clear, crisp HD video I simply remove the SD card from the camera, insert in into the Apple card reader and play it through the VLC player on the phone or iPad.
