To summarise so far, the dashcam takes a little while to install and set up. But once you're up and running, what's it actually like to use? has developed an extensive line of auto intelligence products. Our dash cams span beginner-friendly models for basic recording needs, to premium 4K cameras with advanced smart features. We also offer car accessories that take care of other aspects of your driving experience, including tire health and interior tidiness. Once you reach your destination, our power station comes into play to provide clean, reusable energy that enables you to indulge in creature comforts outdoor. First, you position the cam either on the front of the passenger seat or in line with the rear-view mirror, on either side. I chose slightly to the right of the mirror. You then peel the plastic off the electrostatic disc, apply it to the windscreen, remove the air bubbles and then attach the dash cam. Good value for such a low priced camera. Won't find better at this price but may be worth it to buy a B1W for a few dollars more. Note that there are no hardware differences between the International (English), Chinese and Russian versions of this camera. Any language firmware can be flashed to the camera.

Compatible with the RC06 rear camera*, the A800S can achieve dual-channel** recording, providing all-round protection so you can drive with peace of mind. If none of those are deal-breakers, though, the 70mai Omni offers excellent value for the price. Most notably, you'll get a high level of picture detail, and let's face it, that's the main thing most people will be looking for. It's also great to be able to control this dashcam by voice, and anyone creating social media content from their car will love fun features like the ability to take a selfie. I share this experience for two reasons. Firstly, I'd advise you pay more care than I did when attaching the dashcam initially. But as a broader point, if you were planning to remove the dashcam at the end of each journey (seeing it as a temptation for thieves) then this is not the choice for you. It's designed to stay up permanently. The camera does not come with GPS or any form of parking mode. It also uses a battery rather than a super capacitor making it not ideal for very high temperature environments.When you start your engine, the camera turns on automatically. But it doesn't start recording: I found I had to press a button on the side before it does that. This isn't difficult, of course, but it is one extra thing you have to remember at the start of every journey. You can then see what it's recording on the tiny 1.2 inch screen for a minute or so, before it switches to a generic smiley face, lest it distracts you from the task in hand. The camera uses an Mstar MSC8328P processor and Sony Exmor IMX323 CMOS sensor. This combination allows for 1080p at 30fps video recording using a bit rate of 16Mbps. Video quality is very good during the day and average at night. While video quality is not as good as some pricier cameras, particularly at night, for the price, video is impressive. The M500 helps you prevent safety risks and monitor real-time tire health with its tire pressure monitoring feature. It receives Bluetooth signals from Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensors and will notify you with a voice alert if the sensors detect abnormal tire pressure.

Founded in 2016, 70mai is an industry-leading auto intelligence company, with specialization in dashboard cameras. To date, it has built a global market presence, selling 1.5 million dash cams in a single year to 100+ countries spanning Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia. Leveraging established expertise in car jump starters and other battery products, the company also expanded its reach into the clean energy market, debuting its first power station in 2021 to meet the growing demand for portable power on the move. Some owners have created custom Firmware for the Dash Cam Pro to improve video quality. You can learn more about the custom firmware here. User Manual The 70mai has a nice cylindrical design and is small at 100 x 55 x 32 mm. It does not come with a screen and can be mounted discreetly in your vehicle. The form factor is very simple with one power button providing multiple functions (power on, power off, turn on WiFi, turn off Wifi, format SD card and restore default settings).Because 70mai is owned by Chinese company Xiaomi, some people might be wary of sharing their footage and data in this way. Personally, I'm not bothered about this kind of thing (it would be pretty difficult to review tech if I was). However, it did disappoint me that I couldn't just record to a microSD card, because that just seems like a simpler option.

The Omni is equipped with voice control for added convenience. By giving simple voice commands, the camera performs the corresponding actions without turning your attention away from driving. The 70mai Dash Cam Pro has a wedge shaped design and is small at 87.5 x 53 x 19 mm. The camera comes with 2″ Screen, WiFi (with Android and iOS apps), G-sensor and optional GPS. The 70mai Dash Cam Pro records 2592 x 1944p video at 30 fps using a bitrate of 19.2 Mbps. Note that this resolution uses a 4:3 aspect ratio which is unusual. We suggest using the 2560 x 1440p resolution which uses the more common 16:9 aspect ration. Both of these resolutions use the H.265 video codec. If you prefer using the more common H.264 video codec, you will need to choose a resolution of 1080p or lower. Compatible with the RC06 rear camera*, the Pro Plus+ can achieve dual-channel** recording, providing all-round protection so you can drive with peace of mind.
