I will not go into technical details about the camera's functions since their usefulness is subjective for each of us. The installation is very simple. It only requires a little patience to pass the cables through the gaps in the car's interior with the special tool that is included in the box, it is like a small hook, to reach the cables from front to back without them being visible in the cabin. There is no specific route. It depends on the car's anatomy. It does not require any special skills. Even a child can do it. The camera settings are extremely simple. When you turn on the car's battery, both cameras start recording immediately without any intervention. When you turn off the car's engine, they stop. The front camera provides a very clear image when viewed from a mobile phone or laptop. The rear camera's image quality is average to good. It records up to 3 minutes, which takes up approximately 600MB on the SD card. It only has the option for 1, 2, or 3 minutes of recording. Nothing else. Definitely worth buying. Micro SD 128GB U3 class 10 high endurance is recommended. The box does not include any memory card. In order for the camera to work without freezing and to quickly transfer videos to your mobile phone, it is recommended to use a high-quality memory card. The camera is strictly for car use. It is not recommended for any other purpose. When I installed it, I felt safe and confident on the road. It is now an essential tool in the jungle of roads. It has a wide recording range that captures a lot on the left and right sides. All settings are done through the camera or through the application. The video downloads are done through the application.
I have had it for 5 months. At some point in August, it went into a bootloop and then had no problems. In early November, it happened again without recovering. It burned my first SD card, so I put in a new one and simultaneously did the software update. Today, 11/25/23, it burned my second card after 4 days of normal operation in the exact same way. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this or if I am doing something wrong. I will contact customer service and see.
What is this thing, guys? Something bad is happening at Scruts where products cost X euros and after a few months or years, instead of the price going down, it goes up by 20-50 euros. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAMERA FOR 95 EUROS AND NOW IT COSTS 171 EUROS, IT'S TRAGIC!
Anyway, it's a good product and I can see the license plates of cars well
It works just fine... If you park it in the sun during the summer, it may give an error (The memory card has malfunctioned) don't worry, once it cools down a bit it will work again.
I have had it for almost a month. I am completely satisfied. The camera started acting weird after the first week, with restarts, etc., and then it displayed a message for a recording error. All the issues disappeared as soon as I put in a better SD card. I would also suggest being careful when purchasing the power cable, as some cables do NOT fit the camera.
Purchased together with the 70Mai Car Power Cable Hardware Kit, and I can say that the wiring was a bit difficult (for an electrician), but the result is very good. All the cables were installed inside the roof and it looks quite nice. It has the capability to record with timelapse, record in parking mode, etc. Just due to the small screen, it is a bit cumbersome to set up/connect with the mobile phone in order to download the data from the SD. In the end, it does exactly what it says quite well. An informative video I found before purchasing it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vetok7HzuYM
The camera was installed in September 24...
I installed a 128Gb high-quality memory card for long recording time, but in less than a month it gives me messages that the card is damaged and sometimes after turning off and on it says it needs formatting... I do it, but in 5 minutes it says damaged card again...
Now, it turns off by itself, and they removed the option where it only recorded video when it detected motion, it records all the time and fills up the card
I have had it for 6 months, and it records perfectly. Very good image, very good resistance to temperatures. However, it is important to also purchase the hardware kit and have it installed by an electrician (it cost me €60 for the installation, and the hardware kit is about another €20). With the proper installation, it neither bothers in the cabin nor has any issues at all. It even saved me from a guy who entered my lane and hit me, and later claimed that I hit him from behind. With the camera's material, the insurance companies didn't even enter the process of disputing, and they paid for all the damages. So it already paid for itself in the first six months, and then some.
Yes, indeed the material is not accepted in court. However, both the insurance companies and (possibly) the courts see it to make a decision.
The parking surveillance is also excellent, it activates if it feels a hit while it is off. Generally, it is worth it with installation; otherwise, if it is connected to the lighter, it will not be reliable and will drain the battery.
However, I bought it again for a new car. Same camera, same installation, same wires, and the emergency recording does not activate on vibrations from potholes, even on high sensitivity. The electrician says that the insulation of the car is responsible, which is not unreasonable. So, how much it activates on potholes, I will add that it probably also has to do with the car, so adjust accordingly (high, medium, low) depending on how often it activates in yours.
I am very satisfied with the camera!!! It starts recording as soon as you turn on the car and works with a memory card. The camera can also connect to your phone by downloading the app so you can view and download the videos more easily.
Very good camera, the app works normally on both iPhone and Android. Steady shots in good resolution where the license plate in front and back is clearly visible. It is important to have a fast memory card to write smoothly without any issues. *You need to purchase the extra cable if you want to have the ability to activate it even when the car is parked.
So far everything is good, the functionality, the setup, the image quality. Ideally, it should also cover the time when the car is parked without the need for intervention in the car's electrical system and the installation of special cables.
the installation was a little bit tricky if you also want to install the rear camera. My rear camera makes the other camera not working so I actually can't use it. The front camera is great
The front is fine. The back doesn't work at all. The installation was done by an electrician, it will be replaced. Be careful with the choice of memory card, it has reset twice and I have lost everything. Do further research, better ones have started circulating.
I have it for a short period of time to be able to have a proper opinion. I will come back with an update. However, I consider it a value for money product. The sensor in parking surveillance mode does not easily start recording video (still waiting to have a clearer opinion). Update: after using it for several months, I believe it is very good for its price. I recommend it without hesitation!
It's fine for its price, maybe even more. It is a bit sensitive in capturing emergency videos because it easily activates even in low sensitivity. It receives frequent updates, so it is not at the mercy of God, but every time it updates, it loses all its settings... Overall, though, it's very good, I would buy it again!
Five stars because it is excellent for its price. If you buy it, make sure to get the hardwire kit. This way, it will record 24/7. Easy to operate and install. I passed the cables myself and went to an automotive electrician to connect it to the fuse box. If you are familiar, check out YouTube for installation instructions and you won't have any difficulties.
The camera is necessary in every vehicle.
With what we see daily on the roads, I didn't waste any time and installed it.
Now I feel relieved.. it records both front and back automatically as soon as the vehicle starts.
Connects to the mobile phone and you can retrieve the videos stored on the memory card.
I'm really relieved that it exists in the vehicle.
After a small market research, I bought this product as it offers a great cost-performance ratio, with good performance in both cameras (front-back) at a very low cost. It was purchased together with the hardware kit for permanent installation in the car.
The installation is relatively easy, although more work was needed for the hardware kit and the rear camera, as the cables had to be passed through the lining and the shock absorber bubbles of the rear door.
Many settings, many features, good image and sound quality, but it has two disadvantages, for which I deduct one star:
- The ADAS (Driver Assistance) is practically useless, as it takes too long to notify (so what's the point?) and it is also extremely sensitive (basically, it ends up getting on your nerves).
- For some reason, none of the automatic activation-deactivation settings work in my kit, even though the hardware kit was properly secured. The automatic deactivation setting after a period of inactivity does not work either, so it's not the hardware kit's fault. As a result, once I left the car in the garage for 2-3 consecutive days with the automatic shutdown enabled and the sentry mode disabled, so it should have been deactivated, but it never did and almost drained my battery. So, in the end, I completely deactivated the permanent mode and open/close it manually.
After a little searching, its menu is not particularly difficult to find the settings. So far, everything is good. Every 2-3 days, I watch the videos and delete them. I put in a quick 64GB SD card and everything works perfectly so far. I don't have it connected to a continuous power supply at the moment, and it records fine at night too. It has a battery, so maybe it's unnecessary for me at the moment. It's worth it for someone who wants a front and rear dashcam at a very good price. If you look at others, you will only find a very good one for the front, close to 100. I should mention that it does not connect to the parking system. If someone wants to see the rear when parking, I don't know exactly what the electrician needs to do. It doesn't particularly interest me since my car already has it.
Excellent choice as a dashcam and it is cost-effective as a package with the rear camera. It is worth combining it with the hardwire kit so that you can activate the parking mode as well.
Excellent! After 2 months of use, I haven't noticed a single bug!
Automatic recording upon startup, loop record, G-sensor, parking sensor, amazing video resolution even in low light conditions, and overall everything is perfect!
All camera settings can be adjusted through the 70mai mobile application, videos can be viewed and downloaded from there, and the sensor is quite sensitive to the point where I had to set it to low sensitivity to activate emergency recording even on potholes.
Together with the "parking cable", it can record even when the engine is off as soon as it detects any vibration.
With an SD card class 10, both cameras sometimes froze.
Also, with the maximum video recording resolution, the 64GB card fills up after four hours of recording.
To have a longer coverage time, I use a 128GB SD card (CANVAS GO PLUS) that works without any issues.
