Another week, another Xiaomi deal. This time on the 70mai Dashcam Pro English Version with both the GPS and non-GPS variants on sale.

Features include resolutions up to 2592×1944 30fps (H.265), micro SD card support, WiFi, app connection including transfer of footage, emergency recording in collision, parking mode, ADAS (GPS Module) and thanks to the Nuance speech engine, voice commands including "Take picture", "Record video" and more. Under the hood it's using a Sony IMX335 sensor with a 140° wide angle f/1.8 aperture lens and a built-in battery for the parking mode.

I recommend watching this quick 5 minute review to see what it's capable of.

    Car just got written off in an incident where one of these may've saved me a fair bit of $.

    How good's this model?

    • Clear on 25/06/2019 - 19:31

      Looking at the video I linked and some other samples around YouTube I think the quality is quite impressive including the wide angle resolutions. The collision detection would have definitely helped in your case I think too.

      i had one but it broke due to the extreme heat we sometimes get. need to find one that can handle 45degree days

      • Melb69 on 25/06/2019 - 19:38

        The Blackvue is good for extreme heat, but then again you pay for it.

        • Hunnypooh on 25/06/2019 - 19:47

          My BlackVue DR650GW internal battery gave out after 1 year in the summer heat and it's now dead after 2 years sadly. However my Viofo A119 v2 is still going strong.

        • ntb on 25/06/2019 - 19:51

          I would steer clear from Blackvue, my 650S loses focus under heat and recently started to restart itself from time to time just under 2 years of use. I second the guy above that my viofo A119 is still going strong.
          Got my Blackvue for 400 after discount, what a rip off.

          • Melb69 on 25/06/2019 - 19:54

            @ntb: The 7 series are better I believe. I haven't had any issues with the 750, so far

          I've had a blackvue (DG440W rings a bell)since Oct 2011. Still works perfect.

      • yippy on 25/06/2019 - 20:06

        I've got the older version and it's been through 2 Sydney Summers and still working fine.

  • Cozza38 on 25/06/2019 - 19:37

    I can't comment on the quality of the camera itself but I would avoid dashcams with internal batteries in Australia. They can't handle our summer heat.

    Better off picking up a capacitor type and wiring it up for 24/7 power.

  • cristtos on 25/06/2019 - 19:39

    I think $15 for the GPS is worth it.
    Anyone used these on the rear windshield (station wagon)?
    Can you use it as a reverse camera in conjunction with your phone?

    Thanks

    • mcncl on 25/06/2019 - 19:44

      The issue sometimes with the GPS is if it measures your speed too; I've heard some people talk of insurance companies using it to get out of payment.

      • cristtos on 25/06/2019 - 19:45
        +1

        Good point!
        However I very seldom go over the limit (strange, I know) so I would rather have it show that I am under…

        • howdydood on 25/06/2019 - 20:58

          They can tell how fast you're going by measuring how long it takes you to pass some landmarks in the footage - like power poles etc. They can measure the distance using google maps and then work out your speed - cops do it as well as insurance companies ….

    • dcep on 25/06/2019 - 22:31

      this gps doesn't work as gps

      • ascorbic on 26/06/2019 - 01:32

        It does with the latest firmware update.

        • dcep on 26/06/2019 - 09:34

          so it now logs/maps your location data and speed ?

          are you using one ? or mind to quote the source of your info ?

          • ascorbic on 26/06/2019 - 14:13

            @dcep: Email from 70Mai:

            Hello everyone!

            The most requested features for 70mai finally come out! You can now see the real-time speed and GPS location on 70mai Dash Cam Pro videos, after updating the dash cam firmware to Version 1.0.5.

  • onyxx on 25/06/2019 - 19:45

    if only this had motion detection while parking, I never thought i needed that feature until someone scratched my car recently

    • cristtos on 25/06/2019 - 19:47
      +2

      doesn't it? In the specifications it says "parking mode"…

      • onyxx on 25/06/2019 - 19:48

        That only detects collision while parked I believe, that's what i saw in the youtube review OP posted

        • NishV on 25/06/2019 - 20:47
          +2

          Got one in my car and yes, it picks up any "unusual shock" during parking and record as an emergency video and notify next time you turn the car switch on. Even when driving if the car come across a shock, say on a speed hump it could activate. Have been using for the last 3 months and found it great. Easy installation and app on iPhone works a treat.

          • aragornelessar on 26/06/2019 - 01:15

            @NishV: If it records as the shock happens, I'm assuming it won't show what happens leading up to the shock right? Is it important to have that feature too?

            • NishV on 26/06/2019 - 04:29

              @aragornelessar: On parking i believe the camera is in passive mode and reacts to g-sensor to record an emergency video. So yes, imminent reason may not be recorded. Anyway on running mode videos are recorded in a loop and in case of a shock/impact, saves an emergency video as a separate file. Emergency videos will not get over-written and have to be deleted manually.

              • aragornelessar on 26/06/2019 - 09:09

                @NishV: Yeah I'm just wondering how often insurance requires the 'reason' for impact, or whether the recording of the aftermath of the incident is usually enough for them. Guess it depends on what happens but wondered if they reject it enough to have post-incident footage as useless?

          • Bargain Fighter on 28/06/2019 - 09:19

            @NishV: For a 64GB card, how many hours of video recording can it store?

            The specs say support up to 32 or 64GB SD card. Do you know if a 128 or 256GB card would work?

  • cristtos on 25/06/2019 - 20:02

    I have ordered one for the rear recording.
    Let's see what it can do.

  • Bargain Fighter on 25/06/2019 - 21:05

    How does it compare to this Xiaomi Mija Dashcam? https://gearvita.com/xiaomi-mijia-1080p-car-dvr-camera.html

    The specs say support up to 32 or 64GB SD card. I believe a 128 or 256GB card should work fine right?

    For a 64GB card, how many hours of video recording can it store? Thanks

  • theabyss on 26/06/2019 - 09:17

    Just a reminder. The Chinese Editions are the best editions of 70mai dash cams. Because in China manufacturers always use the best sensors and chips so one with inferior hardware will lose the competition.
    In other countries manufacturers all use shit hardware and sell them at whopping high prices. People still happy because they don’t know they can get much better result with 1/10 or even less money.
    70 mai dash cam have two models in China: 70 Mai dash cam and 70 Mai dashc Pro.
    70 Mai dash cam uses Sony IMX323 sensor and Mstar processing chip, it is still clear image but can never compare with the Pro. Sells for about 40AUD.
    70 Mai dash cam Pro uses Sony IMX335 sensor and Huawei Image Processing chip, support 1944P recording and image quality is much better. Sells for about 60AUD without GPU module. The GPS and car parking module are sold independently.
    This 70 Mai Pro is the overseas model with IMX323 and Mstar chip. So it is actually a 70mai basic model in a Pro enclosure. This is still much better than those using shit hardware. They still win the competition. However it is just not as good as the Chinese Edition.

    • dcep on 26/06/2019 - 09:42

      are you talking about [chinese version] VS [global english version] ?

      or, [70mai dash cam] VS [70mai dash cam PRO] ? They are completely different model

      • theabyss on 26/06/2019 - 13:03

        Read carefully and you will see. You must be jumping.
        70mai Pro non Chinese edition= 70mai Chinese edition

              • WaveZero on 12/07/2019 - 10:13

                @cristtos: Nothing yet, they asked for more details about shipment and for me to take some photos.

    Received nothing so far…

    • cristtos on 10/07/2019 - 19:27

      A box arrived today but I do not think is the right type (did not open it yet), opinions?
      https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/91538/70736/70mai.jpg
      I have ordered (ORDER # 000043051) and paid for a GPS enabled unit but I think this is just a simple one, correct?

      Did anyone actually get a GPS enabled unit?

      • wrarr on 11/07/2019 - 08:41

        Yeah, got delivered yesterday, has that box in your photo with a separate smaller/thinner box which says '70mai GPS Mount Holder' which is the GPS module

        • cristtos on 11/07/2019 - 10:39

          Thanks for the reply, no additional unit for me :(

            @cristtos: So did they ever rectify not sending you the GPS module? I was thinking of buying but not if they don't do the right thing.

            • cristtos on 23/07/2019 - 09:27

              @soob: I got an email confirming that they did not ship the module (mistake) and that they will ship it separately
              Nothing yet though.

              • soob on 23/07/2019 - 09:34

                @cristtos: Thanks. I'll avoid them then. Found it cheaper on Banggood and Gearbest anyway, so not losing anything avoiding Gearvita.

                • cristtos on 23/07/2019 - 09:54

                  @soob: make sure is the English speaking version (it actually talks to you)

    Hello Team gearvita,
    When i am trying to place order, order value is going to $89.60 with au priority shipping and $88.63 with singapore air mail even after applying coupon 70MCamP. Can you check please and confirm the issue?
    I had takena snap of it but dont see the option to post it.

  • ggfatty on 20/08/2019 - 09:53

    Please be careful about Gearvita. I purchased 1 unit with GPS module

    but it constantly freeze , and has to be reboot/unplug replug the power to be responsive. Otherwise not receiving voice control nor recording

    I tried to sent Gearvita support message, there is no acknowledgement and no response. Their website and customer service is terrible
