    Great review. loved it. My Z40 says SD card error for all types of SD cards. Turns out the rubber flap at 01:24 was causing it. I left it open and the error disappeared

      Hmmm, this is weird. Maybe it applies some pressure to the card...

    Does your cameras keeping time and date? mine is loosing it after an hour or more. I have to connect to the app every time to sync time. firmware version 7.1.1.12, have tried also 7.1.1.13,same thing. it does keep the settings like startup sound off. which firmware do you have?

    Wow, this was really helpful, thank you so much. Question: in my vehicle I have a plug that is always on, meaning I don't have to have the vehicle on for it to work, can I plug it in there and not need the adapter for the parking mode/feature to work?

    • @TechMishka
      @TechMishka  Год назад +1

      It will work. As far as I remember, ddpai have an option to utilize always-on cigar light sources, which is quite convenient. Has to be configured in the app settings.

    Excellent review. is is mandatory to use the provided car-cigar USB port? I already have a USB charger (with 2 ports), I use one to charge my phone, can I use the second one? Is there any power rating written for the cigar-connector? that way I can cross verify.

    Hi, thanks for the great review! May I ask:
    - how clear is the car plate number from the video? I don't think you touched on this
    - 70mai can save videos by pressing a single button on the dashcam, which I find very useful. Is there such a function on the ddpai?

    • @TechMishka
      @TechMishka  2 года назад +5

      I think you can see for yourself how clear the car plates are. If there is no reflection - pretty good.
      As for marking a video as protected - it can be done with Z40 too - there's a button for that.

Its wifi is also unstable, I can get disconnected halfway, even when i'm putting my phone so close to it. Also, the leeway to adjust the camera is so limited, because the body is sticking so close to the windscreen, I can't even tilt it downwards. Sorry but I really won't recommend.

    I will really appreciate if you answer the following questions.
    1. DDPAI has capacitor while 70MAI has lithium battery ?
    2. We should choose capacitor over lithium ?
    3. Replacement batteries are easily available and easy to change ?
    4. Any Dashcam has feature to record time-lapse while driving (not in Parking mode) ?
