Car camera recommendation

[Volvobrick]

Get one of those that can continue to monitor after car is parked. I set mine to record up to 6 hrs after parking at reduced frame rate (it will auto protect against low voltage with the proper cable).

After I took over the car, my reverse camera had only worked for a short while and then the display screen turned blue.  Not too sure if it is due to poor connection.

I  have survived because of my excellent parking skills. I grew up in the "long-dio-wu-xia" era where all my previous cars (Charade G102, Hijet, Sunny B11, N16, Presea) came without cameras.

Now with 3rd party cameras so cheaply available, I am thinking of getting a cheap-good one as a replacement alternative to the expensive original.

Do you have one from Shopee or Lazada to recommend?

I think most if not all will serve the purpose. Just get one that is small and can be mounted easily. And maybe get a dashcam cum reverse camera monitor rear view mirror to save space and wiring.

I use something like this - adjustable and looks much better than those with a metal bracket.  It lasts for quite a few years and still working.

Hi any recommendation for dual cam plus hardwire and installation for 200+? I enquired about the 70mai but I am confused that when parking, it only records when upon impact, I thought last time when I was using Marbella, it captures when they detect motion near by your car like if people loiter around your car, it will record already. Or did i remember wrongly? I thought the motion sensor is important, because sometimes some stupid throw paper rubbish when passing by and that one not big enough to have impact then will not record.

[Gasband]

I also just saw that the A800 got no buffered parking record? Meaning on impact, you lost first 2 seconds of what happened? That seems pointless right? Must say their 4k in daytime is more impressive than bigger expensive Brands

Anyone linked 70mai A800 to cam battery pack?

I found that my set doesnt auto start once the battery ran out, even after I start my car and the cam battery pack start charging.

Any advise?

[kohzcm]

anyone has any cam installer to recommend for removal and installation at good price?

Try Autotrend at Toa Payoh. I find their price and workmanship OK.

Look for the boss Darren.

don't think u can get any other cam at this price with a 4k resolution. Easily double the price for other brands. Just go for it. xiaomi products always value for money.

Bought my 70mai A800 from shopee @dashcamsg. and i have to comment on their after sales service. Have a problem with my set after 9 months of purchase, chat them at shopee, very prompt reply, fix a date and send my car down to check. Apparently there's a problem with my hardwire kit, and the installer manage to fix it in 15 mins. Offer a token of $30 but the installer refuse to take my money. Highly recommended if you are looking for a trustworthy seller and a 70mai in car camera.
