6:58 that's why you should never drive without a dashcam, that bus was on your lane. Nice review I really loved it, you explained everything very clearly.
If the camera is connected straight to battery power it will never turn off. If it is connected to a switched input, like the key, it will turn on and off with the key.
as I'm watching this, mine is plugged in charging, and every few minutes it says "cannot perform this action". I hope that it doesn't always do this while I drive
The quality of the video depends greatly how you encoded it before you uploaded it to RUclips. 16Mbit/s for a 1080p30fps video is quiet a lot. A normal 1080p30fps video can be easily encoded to 3,000 or 4,000Mbit/s without too much quality loss, so like I said, it depends on how you compressed the original file. But did I see something in that menu about maximum recording time 3 minutes? Or can it record longer? Also how about stabilization? I don't hear you about that, although judging your video the camera does shock and wobble like crazy.
Great review, i was indecisive between this one and the Pro version but for the money this one is pretty decent! You do have the Portuguese accent when speaking english, are you Portuguese by any chance? Cheers and keep up with this great reviews!
one question: Do I need to have the power cable always connected? What is the stand-by autonomy without the cable? (I just want a dashcam to take occasional pictures during my long trips)
the problem is when i load the app down it keeps asking to verify the terms and conditions and asks me to tick cant see where the tick is can you help me
Nice review! I can't get enthousiastic about the quality of the video in daylight.. very poor (dramatically poor color and contrast). But in your evening footage it seems to give a very decent image. All-in-all good enough quality to capture an accident, but not the best if you want to capture fine details on your journeys.
@@R3RS2024 No it didn't . But it works like a charm and specially after last FW update. it will pick up words from the radio in car and take pictures and start recording , lol,but not if playing music
Download the app looks nothing like what you demonstrated. I get a message that they want me to allow access to my Facebook so they can share information about me. Not real happy about5 that I stopped the loading of the app. Any ideas what to do next? Your video made it look so easy.
Cam recoreder does not required screen for record. It recording it on sd card. But if you wish to see it in real time you will have to connect to cam wifi
i was going to buy it for a reason , i want it if someone hit my car when its parked my car ? so i want to know they have motion sensor this camera because i didnt see in the specs
Recently just bought it, its international version. But why the voice command can only response to 'take picture' & 'record video'? The other commands like ' record with sound' & 'turn on wifi' is not working. Is my 70mai 1s is defective? Thanks for the answer.
@@Ryaniwk Yup, you're right. I've just browsed everywhere & looking at the manual guide for different version. It seems like 1s is an upgrade version of 70mai international version in 2019. The image sensor have some improvement, but for some reason the voice commands are cut into just 2 commands (6 commands in the earlier version).
Not sure about the go pro mount... that’s a good question. If the discount code in the description doesn’t work please do let me know and I will get you a new one
@@pocttopus4598 No, there are only loop recording options. It's more convenient for viewing and file transfer process. 1min video is over 100MB without audio.
@@pocttopus4598 I've a 64GB card, moreover any incident may only last from a few seconds to a few minutes. You might be looking for an action camera, there are action cameras with dash cam features. For me hours of driving footage is not important. Just the few moments of proof if an incident occurs and making sure the first loop doesn't get over written when the card fills in case of a long drive. I think DDPAI dashcams can merge videos into bigger durations, I'm not so sure.
I dont know if its youtube but original footage also have such image artifacts? Especially visible on road surface? Also quality in night is really nice... damn
Apple store download 70mai North America utilities ask me to sign in with my email and password. Since this is a China product I think I will opt out and get a refund.
Fear not, mate! I get what you are saying but this is a dashcam, it supposes to deal with shaking and vibrations and I was holding the plastic case around the lens. No dashcams were harmed during this review :)
All dashcams worked the same way. You can turn off the loop and get the biggest sd card the camera accepts. Just in case one card gets full, get 2 cards. Depending on the resolution you choose and the card size you should be able to get a lot of footage in one card ;)
You can always stick all 3min clip into one big file, with video editor on PC. This is Dash cam, it's main purpose is for recording accidents on the road, so small files are need for easy look up. If you need one single file come out right from the camera, this is not the camera you need. Go find an action cam like Gopro.

Thanks for your kind words:)
@@Ryaniwk I ended up in buying one myself :D Partial thanks to your video
Just what I needed to know.
I bought one on sale after seeing your video of what this cam actually can do.
Thanks a lot for sharing.
Does it turn on automatically when you start driving or do you need to start it every time?
Still waiting..
I want to know too
Yeah, all dash cams do it. Soon has they have power, they turn on and start recoding automatically, and vice-versa when the power it cut out.
If the camera is connected straight to battery power it will never turn off. If it is connected to a switched input, like the key, it will turn on and off with the key.
Nice camera and video. Noticed you are not able to play music from your phone while using dash cam. Is there a way around this?
as I'm watching this, mine is plugged in charging, and every few minutes it says "cannot perform this action". I hope that it doesn't always do this while I drive
Can I connect it to another adapter that have USB port?
Like an FM MODULATOR?
Because on my car I have just 1 lighter port..
Can you put it directly to usb port in the car?
Great review on making me understand the workings of a wifi drive cam,,,,,
Thanks for your feedback, Frank :)

Estou a pensar abrir um canal em Português. Seria boa ideia? :)
Muito obrigado
Curious if you can go back and remove files that are saved to the sd card so you can then free that storage back up for more footage?
Can you connect multiple smartphones to the dashcam?
one question: Do I need to have the power cable always connected? What is the stand-by autonomy without the cable?
(I just want a dashcam to take occasional pictures during my long trips)
I’m not sure tbh. Dash cams are meant to be plugged in at all times. If the cante has battery the autonomy must be very short I think
the problem is when i load the app down it keeps asking to verify the terms and conditions and asks me to tick cant see where the tick is can you help me

For how long can it record on your SD card?
But what to do when I connect it through wifi I have no internet connection only dash cam works but no internet
I plugged it into my car usb port. It works just fine yesterday. But it’s not turning on today when I started the car. I don’t know why. Please help
Looks very good for the price..ordered one
did it come with an sd card ?
@@R3RS2024 No it didn't . But it works like a charm and specially after last FW update. it will pick up words from the radio in car and take pictures and start recording , lol,but not if playing music
What kind of memory card is required?
Is it able to record continuously for how long

Hi.Why the meniu is not the same with mine?I have the same camera for europa.Thanks
any way to remove that 70mai logo from appearing in the video?
Can I see the camera with my phone if I’m not in the car, I have a teen driver.
Does it need to be connected to your phone to record or do you only need the phone to view footage and change settings?
Cam recoreder does not required screen for record. It recording it on sd card. But if you wish to see it in real time you will have to connect to cam wifi
Does the cam still record video even not connected on phone with WiFi? Thanks.
Yes it does. Thanks
Nice work! Didn't know you live in the Birmingham ;)
looks like a s_it hole.
Will this camera run on battery power only or must it be plugged in? And if so how long would an average charge last? Thanks!
It must be plugged in. After disconnect, camera keeps recording for a few seconds.
hello, it's possible to remove only the camera from the windscreen and put it there again next day ? i would like to hide it over the night.
You need to undo the screw on the mount I order to remove the camera. The mount will stay on the windscreen.
@@Ryaniwk thanks for answer !
Is this camera parking monitor without extra Battery
Nice review! Keep it up. 😄
Thank you :)
i was going to buy it for a reason , i want it if someone hit my car when its parked my car ? so i want to know they have motion sensor this camera because i didnt see in the specs
How to make it record video while driving?
Has anyone tried the hardwire kit to directly connect it to the fuse box?
Recently just bought it, its international version.
But why the voice command can only response to 'take picture' & 'record video'?
The other commands like ' record with sound' & 'turn on wifi' is not working.
Is my 70mai 1s is defective?
Thanks for the answer.
Hi. Please check minute 2:05. I think only take picture and record video voice commands are available for this model.

I wanted to usa as a back rear camera,but what is on my right side ,for me it shows that it's on the left side:-(
nice review? your from Birmingham 😁
Nothing wrong with this camera. Good value for the money
Can I viee footage through the app??
Would you know if the dash cam can be dash mounted without the picture recording upside down?
The same issue , I need one for the back, do have an answer to this question ?
Manufacturer states not compatible with app on their website.Strange.I thought it was.
Whats the SD card type to use this camera
Like from Russia, good review, I like your simle English, I fully understand whole you vision about this dashcam. Thanks
Thank you very much for your support!! :) большое спасибо вам!!

The 70mai 1s have the loop recording?
yes, with length of single record 1 / 2 / 3 minutes
Yes. All dashcams should loop record ;)
Hi, can i look at the videos even if i am home and the car is like 200metres from me? Thanks
Thats a bit too far, mate. Only close range I'd say
Salve qualcuno mi sa dire come posso salvare i contenuti della app sul Cloud album? grazie mille
My 70mai's voice command doesn't work, do you know why it's doesn.t work?
yes, you have the older version not the 1S
Can you remove the camera from the adhesive mount and connect it to a standard gopro mount? And do you have a new discount code? Thanks!
Not sure about the go pro mount... that’s a good question.

Unfortunately not yet bro :(
@@Ryaniwk Have you found one yet? lol a year later

Any of these use a sim card
Too bad only front camera, no rear camera
Can I use the dash cam for 9-10 hours continuous recording and saving that video on one single file?
The dashcam can record for hours depending on the card you put on. The camera has 3 settings it only records in loops of 1,2or 3 minutes.

The camera will create several clips of 1, 2 or 3 min, depending on your settings. It will overwrite the older files on a loop, non stop.
