********NOTICE********
A number of members have commented that their order has not shipped despite the GeekBuying site showing 5-8 days. If your order hasn’t shipped, you’ve requested a refund or have been told by GeekBuying ‘it will ship this week’ comment below.

Had my eye on this for a while and hadn’t seen a price like this for the international version aka the English version launched on indigogo. For those interested in the specs, here’s one of the better reviews & demonstrations of feature https://youtu.be/D_W3827xSSs

43% saving on the RRP USD$69.99, GeekBuying USD$39.99 converted on GB to $54.90 inc Australia Direct Line Shipping which is quoted as 5-8 days

Couldn’t find a coupon code that didn’t reset the price to $69 however.

Note - if you’re getting a price that is different to $39, try the email newsletter link http://t.edm.geekedm.com/t.aspx/subid/669881278/camid/133724…

    Is this in English yet?

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 03/06/2018 - 16:43

      Yes, this is the English version hence the International Version in the title. The Chinese version has 70mai on the front in Chinese, while this has it in English.

      • proudwanderer on 03/06/2018 - 16:45

        So this one speaks in English and takes English voice commands?

        Any other differences in terms of specs vs. the Chinese 70mai?

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 03/06/2018 - 16:50
          +1

          Correct. Speaks English and recognises English commands. Other differences is the speech engine is now using Nuance, dedicated app in English and their flash storage has been doubled to 128mb (to support English).

        • captain smash on 03/06/2018 - 17:02
          +1

          Yes full English commands and other minor improvements over the Chinese version.

    Is this any good?

  • tanastra on 03/06/2018 - 16:45

    It’s a good enough camera for reverse camera thru the app although not 100%

    • bdl on 03/06/2018 - 17:23

      Why isn't it 100%?

      • tanastra on 03/06/2018 - 18:04
        -1

        Cause it hasn’t got all the beepings and yellow/red line, Only a vision of what is behind your car thru the app

        • ccsvchost on 03/06/2018 - 19:41
          +2

          There is no camera that does that unless it's actually hardwired to a system which is also connected to the steering input.

        • bdl on 03/06/2018 - 21:54

          Oh! I thought you meant as a reverse-facing dashcam - gotcha!

  • Elijha on 03/06/2018 - 16:46

    I have a Chinese one of these … can I flash it to english?

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 03/06/2018 - 16:55
      +4

      Yes it's possible, but doesn't work as well as the International version.

      This guide tell and shows you how with firmware available here. You may want to check the other pages on dashcamtalk as someone may have linked newer firmware.

      • yippy on 03/06/2018 - 17:09
        +1

        I've got a Chinese version flashed to English, works fine apart from voice commands. I don't care for voice command so it's fine for me.

        • Sober Thoughts on 03/06/2018 - 17:14

          You got a link for the firmware you used?

        • yippy on 03/06/2018 - 18:36
          +2

          @Sober Thoughts:

          I used the same firmware in the dashcamtalk link above.

          Here's the direct link for v1.04 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VQ7nZsrZyBP7_MlxcyY0FYFgqDL…

        • spoonmugen on 03/06/2018 - 20:11

          @yippy:

          just flashed mine.
          took 2 mins.

          hope the video quality is the same haha…
          but thanks mate.

          language didnt bother me before. as it didnt really say anything/just 'chimed'as when i start my car the battery would cut off… unless i start it slowly.

        • iamkuza on 03/06/2018 - 20:29

          @yippy:

          thank you, i just flashed to v1.03 before finding this post.

          guess i'll do 1.04 tomorrow

        • yippy on 03/06/2018 - 21:40

          @spoonmugen:

          My one says something in Mandarin when it turns on, that's what annoyed me because I didn't have a clue what it was saying. At least with the English voice I know what's going on.

        • altomic on 10/06/2018 - 20:42

          @yippy: >My one says something in Mandarin when it turns on,

          Yanny?

  • thanq on 03/06/2018 - 17:01

    Looks pretty decent.

    How do I set up two cameras if I only have one car lighter port? Do I need some sort of splitteR?

    • captain smash on 03/06/2018 - 17:04
      +1

      you’d probably need a dual USB cigarette lighter that could power both.

      • tanastra on 03/06/2018 - 18:06

        Or just use a USB port in a portable battery charger to power the camera. That’s what I do

      • thanq on 03/06/2018 - 20:24

        I see. Thanks.

        I wonder if there’s any other practical way. I drive a Mazda 3 and the car lighter is in the middle storage compartment.

    • PinzVidz on 03/06/2018 - 17:10

      Jaycar and the likes sell multiple power sockets like this. Seems the 2 socket ones are discontinued, hence why I've a linked a 4 port one. The alternative is to hardwire and hide the adapters/sockets using a couple of these.

    • adr8 on 03/06/2018 - 19:27

      I have been using a cheap splitter from ebay, been working fine for 2+ years

  • georgev on 03/06/2018 - 17:12

    So it will record only 70min video?

  • xiaoyjie on 03/06/2018 - 17:18

    This dashcam is NOT made by XIAOMI, and it is only the part of XIAOMI ecosystem. "70mai" is the brand, not "XIAOMI". The office website here https://www.70mai.com/en/

    • smartazz104 on 03/06/2018 - 17:19
      +1

      Pretty sure Xiaomi only make phones and tablets; everything else just has their name slapped on it.

    • captain smash on 03/06/2018 - 17:26

      Whether it’s manufactured by xiaomi I don’t know, however Geek Buying, GearBest and Banggood have all listed it as Xiaomi 70mai.

      All the reviews also call it Xiaomi and have yet to come across one that explains the Xiaomi / 70mai connection

    • captain smash on 03/06/2018 - 17:34
      +2

      Found this explanation

      “The camera will be produced by Banya Tech with investment and support from Xiaomi Technology Ecological Chain Enterprises, bringing the camera under the China-based Xiaomi budget brand”

    How does the battery hold up in a climate such as ours? I have a G1W-C as the version with a battery failed, presumably due to a high car interior temperature.

    • dcep on 03/06/2018 - 17:45
      +1

      your g1w-c is caps / no battery

      this is battery li-po

      • [Deactivated] on 03/06/2018 - 18:36

        A cursory google search indicates the safe maximum temp is 60° (or less). So I wouldn’t be leaving these in a car in the Australian sun.

        • smartazz104 on 03/06/2018 - 21:52

          In other words, useless as a dashcam in Australia then? Or are we expected to remove it from the car every time we park in the sun?

      • smartazz104 on 03/06/2018 - 21:51

        your g1w-c is caps / no battery

        Yes which is why "I have a G1W-C as the version with a battery failed".

    • tanastra on 03/06/2018 - 18:10

      Normally I blow Aircond cool air thru windscreen to cool down any camera ( I don’t mount my camera at the top , only at the bottom closed to cool air ) and so far I have no problems with any cameras.

      • [Deactivated] on 03/06/2018 - 18:37

        There is both longevity and safety to consider. My concern is safety.

      • PinzVidz on 03/06/2018 - 19:04
        +1

        Camera mounted low on windscreen is going to miss out on field of vision in lower area in front of car, particularly when trying to identify number plates. And unless you have a Prius with a solar roof and forced cooling while parked, it's gonna get hot no matter where you mount it when the vehicle's parked/not running/locked.

    • yippy on 03/06/2018 - 18:42

      My previous Mini 0801 had a battery and lasted 4.5 years and it wasn't the battery that went bad either. I replaced it with the Xiaomi 70mai and it went through this Summer without any issues so far.

  • Blurem on 03/06/2018 - 17:21

    What price can you get the Chinese version at? is it cheaper than this international one?

      11 July, courier actually receives order/package, according to first update on tracking number

    • Atomic117 on 17/07/2018 - 19:14

      17 July, received dashcam.
      Tested it out with some night driving. Quality as expected for low light. You're not going to get number plates under halogen headlights.

      Voice commands are hit/miss. There is no physical way to trigger an 'emergency save', it's up to the camera's g-sensor or a voice command. Wifi is hella slow to copy more than a few videos off it. You'll want to take out the SD card and stick it into something else to grab lots of files. Video files are saved in 1min chunks at approx 118mb per file. Photos approx 375kb

      Now I need to figure out how I can hardwire it so I can get my usb port back

  • cv05 on 28/06/2018 - 20:15
