"70mai are not too bad, their normal camera design allows the battery to stay reasonably cool, and they use Li Ion cells instead of Lipos."

OpLeeftijd 0.1I have a 70MAI in both our cars, the one without a screen. It works flawlessly. I have only downloaded videos twice, and the quality is good. Not HD, but good. Had it for more than a year and can not complain.
Magnificent-Egg-612 0.0Definitely 70mai - for those who didn’t know, it’s a Xiaomi brand
I don’t think you always get what you pay for. Some of the legacy reputable brands charge you an arm and a leg for 4k recording. Whereas you can simple get a 80mai (Xiaomi) with same spec for 1/4th the price.
AdRepulsive792 0.0Viofo are the dogs bollocks, 70 mai are quite good and cheap. Nextbase are expensive and absolutely shite.
Alarming_Knowledge82 0.0Check nyo po 70mai na brand. Before bumili lang ako sa shopee nung nagsale tapos pina install ko na lang. Daming installer sa fb marketplace na naghohome service.
Not sure with the exact model. Pero check nyo po shopee ni 70mai madami po dun, pili na lang.
Cautious-Tomorrow308 0.0Get a 70mai or even better options like Redtiger or DDPAI and use a hardwire kit with it.. It will allow you to record 24/7 and don't forget to check if the hardwire kit has a voltage protection so that the battery will not be drained.
Chemical_Sorbet_9094 0.0I dread the day I'll have to have my baby, or anyone's baby in the car tbh. Also I recommend the 70mai dash cam, it's a bit expensive but very good!
Competitive-King5858 0.0A rechargeable RTC battery should be fine, first because it should be located in the cool part of the camera, as Viofo's are, and second because the charge and discharge rates are extremely slow. A main lithium battery is a totally different matter, they need to be charged rapidly, with enough power to shutdown safely, before the camera can start recording, and they are big enough that they often don't fit in the cool part of the camera. 70mai are not too bad, their normal camera design allows the battery to stay reasonably cool, and they use Li Ion cells instead of Lipos. There have been a few reports of Viofo RTC batteries needing to replaced, but it is unusual, and I don't think it is due to heat problems.
couroderato 0.0Just got a 70mai, and so far so good.
cyinyde 0.0I like my 70mai paired with a Samsung high durability micro SD card.
