Hardwiring is only required if you need parking monitoring. You don't need hardwiring if you just want the dashcam to record when car is on. The in box power cable with 12v charger is sufficient.

Hello bro. New sub here. Will the time lapse mode work as a Loop video? I mean, if I leave my vehicle parked for days and the memory gets full, will it just automatically over write the oldest footage with the new one by itself? And will it be okay to just leave the vehicle parked for like 5 days, will the time lapse continue recording?
Hello Thanks for the sub. Hardwire kits (most) have a battery protection feature wherin if the voltage of the battery falls below certain pre set level (generally 12v or 11.8v), the hardwire kit automatically turns off power to the dashcam to save battery. This enables that you can start your car the next morning. Regarding your query if the loop recording will delete the oldest files and write new ones, yes it will. But parking mode recordings take very less space per file size and will (practically) never run out of space to reach a point to delete the oldest files. But in any case parking monitoring won't last upto 5 days in any car, as the battery voltage will fall below the threshold level within 12-18 hours of parking. You have to restart your car and charge the battery in order to continue recording for the next 12 hours atleast. So installing hardwire kit and leaving the car for weeks doesn't mean the dashcam will stay on and recording for that time. It will turn off within 12-18 hours after parking the car as soon as the battery voltage comes down.
Hello, could you tell me if I can activate parking mode using the standard cable connected directly to a powerbank without using the (hardwire fuse kit)?
Hii, I have Tata Altroz DCA. I have recently done the hardwiring in fusebox, similar way as shown in the video. Some people say, it voids warranty, some say it doesnot. What is the actual thing. Does it really void warranty of the car?
Hardwiring doesn't void the warranty of the car. BUT, some dealerships do not recommend this and say that it voids the warranty. This is because of standard company policy where the company doesn't want to be held liable to any damage to the electrical circuit (if there ever is) and doesn't wish to take up corrective actions free of cost. This is obvious because which company will ever like to replace parts and accessories for free? Even if you and me had a company, we would say the same to our customers. So in short, technically no warranty is void, but in terms of company policy and principles, it does. So the solution to this problem is to remove the hardwiring kit just before giving your car for service or before attempting to claim any warranty, at the company's service centre. If you have replaced back the fuses to their proper slots, no one in the world can recognize that the car was hardwired previously. Hence any warranty claim at such instance will be honored by the company and you wont have a thing to worry about. Once the car is back from service, install the hardwiring back again and you are good to go until the next service (generally a year later).
@@traveltechyoutube Loved your clarity of explanation.. you cleared all possible questions.. Great 🫡. Thankyou so much for taking time and explaining the facts ❤️
Remove the memory card from the dashcam. Insert it into your laptop/ pc or your smartphone using a card reader. Open the memory card folder and copy the video files to wherever you require. That's it.

Hi , does it drain vehicle battery completely if left in parking mode for long say a week(without driving), does it have any kind of cut switch to preserve vehicle battery for start. Thanks
It has auto cut off at 11.6 volts. So whenever the battery reaches that point, the hardwire kit cuts power to ensure you are left with enough battery to start the car.
Hey bro.. what is the difference between this harwire kit and OBD2 hardiwre kit? i have seen some reviews which says this hardwire kit drains down the battery.. please help i am going to purchase 70mai A810 very soon.. need your valuable suggestion on which hardwire kit to go for and from where i can purchase it?
Hello Shashank. Good question. Hardwire kit and OBD2 hardwire kit are two different ways to enable parking monitoring in your dashcam. In regular hardwiring kit, you will get a hardwiring set which includes fusetaps, which you have to connect to the fuse box of your car, so that the dashcamera gets power even after your car turns off. I have made detailed videos on this if you need it. In OBD2 hardwire kit, you dont get any fusetaps and you dont have to connect to the fuse box of the car. You have to instead connect to the OBD2 port of your car(All modern cars have OBD2 port in them below dashboard). The dashcamera then draws power from the obd2 port once the car is turned off. In terms of convenience, obd2 kit is very easy to use and has only 1-2 steps for installation. Regular hardwiring kit has lots of steps and might be difficult for someone who is doing it for the first time. Regarding your query about battery drain, yes both obd2 kit and regular Hardwire kit use battery power to run the dashcam when car is turned off. But, in both cases, you have a battery protection feature within the app settings of the dashcamera which you have to enable before using parking mode. This feature cuts off the battery power to the dashcam once it reaches a minimum threshold voltage like 11.8 volts or 12V of battery (whichever you have selected) and hence keeps the battery from draining out completely. Here is the purchase link for regular hardwire kit for 70mai A810. Also providing link for A810 dashcamera. 70mai A810: amzn.to/3F5xiYn Regular Hardwire kit: amzn.to/3F7GyLD Obd2 kit for 70mai A810 is not currently available.
I am having a big issue with my 70mai A810 with OBD kit. The battery suddenly started draining out making my car to not to start. But I need the parking monitoring as well. So what is the best modes that would use less battery and how to keep the safety features on?
@@traveltechyoutube my timelapse mode is on too... So I have kept all the options 'on' like motion detection, collision detection and timelapse. Don't know what is the best combination or something else is there?
Thank you for the video, I was in a dilemma choosing between this dash cam and the Rove R2. Now, as you mentioned the shortcomings of the motion detection of 70mai, do you recommend the Rove R2? Does it provide a better motion detection function?
The only cameras that offer 'True' Motion detection are VIOFO A229 and A329 series, Plus or Pro variants. The motion detection is flawless. You can check them out here: A229 Plus: viofo.in/product/viofo-a229-plus-3ch-2k2k1080p-hdr-5ghz-wi-fi-gps-voice-control-3-channel-dash-camera-with-dual-sony-starvis-2-sensor-front-rear-and-interior-camear/?ref=traveltech A229 Pro: viofo.in/product/viofo-a229-pro-3ch-4k2k1080p-hdr-3-channels-car-dash-camera-with-sony-starvis-2-sensors-with-front-rear-and-interior-camera/?ref=traveltech A329: viofo.in/product/viofo-a329-2ch-first-4k-60fps-front-and-2k-rear-wi-fi-6-dash-cam-hdr-with-sony-starvis-2-sensors-support-ssd-storage/?ref=traveltech
@traveltechyoutube Approximately how long can an average car battery power two cameras in Parking Mode with both motion detection and G-sensor detection enabled to trigger events?
Hardwiring doesn't void the warranty of the car. BUT, some dealerships do not recommend this and say that it voids the warranty.

very informative video. I have done hard wiring in honda city (70 mai kit for A810).i have disabled motion detection, but rest on under parking. But my camera never turns off. I do have P logo, but when i switch off my car, it doesnt give me message on screen (going in parking mode). Screen remain on and green light is on too.
Hi can you please confirm if keeping on parking monitoring is draining your battery fast? Or any issues with the battery if you have observed... I am planning to purchase A810 with hard wiring kit..
Once it is in parking mode, does it record videos from both the front and back sides? In my society few people are drinking and eating stuff, sometimes on bonut and sometimes on dickie? I want to record evidence. Please suggest a camera.
Thanks for the clarification. I'm plqnning to buy 70mai a810 but I'm wondering about the car battery. will it dead the car battery if I set the dash cam on parking mode for 10 hrs? what option will be helpfull for parking survilance with lower impact on car battery?
Could anyone kindly advise on how to find the correct fuse for XUV 700? I have installed it in a hardwire kit with the accessories team, but I am encountering some issues. Any suggestions or available information would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, First of all thank you for creating such an informative video. I am done with Hardwire kit installation for Honda Elevate, but my dashcam keeps on running even when the car is locked its not going into parking mode. For VCC I have used Small light fuse and For ACC I have used CTR ACC Socket. Any suggestions what could be going wrong
my 70mai a810 is hardwired, brand new kia Sportage 2024 model, when i turn the car on overnight i get a message 12v battery discharging due to additional electrical devices.. is this because the hardwire voltage cut off is 11.4v.. will this affect my battery ?
If hardwire kit only cuts power at 11.4V how will be possible to start the engine for sure??? I think that this is low voltage for an easily start of the engine...
Hey, can you please tell me, If i don't want to Do this hardwiring thing for Parking Recording, I just want parking recording barely for 4-6 hrs a day , So ,Can you tell me ,if we can use a power bank for the same?
Dashcams need a specific voltage to activate parking monitoring. If your powerbank supplies a different one, the dashcam will continue to record normally and not in Timelapse mode. So you need to check this with your powerbank.
@@traveltechyoutube sry ,but what's the Difference between normally and Time lapse mode???..I didn't get it!......... also, is there a chance of Power Bank blast or Camera Heating and getting damage due to power Bank use ?
Normally when the engine is on and dashcam is connected. Timelapse mode when the engine is off and dashcam is in parking monitoring mode. This records at lesser frames per second and creates a 1min video for every 30minutes approx. This saves space on memory card and can record upto longer duration. Power banks are susceptible to heat. So if kept in car when the car is in direct sunlight or the the cabin is hot, may lead to burn out.
Hi, I like your videos. I would like to know if using the fuse installation kit on the 70mai A810 and not enabling any type of parking mode will not drain energy? I would only use it in places I chose. It is possible? The 4g Kit can cut at higher voltages (above 12v) I am studying this too...
@@traveltechyoutubehold on... Let's say i have hardwired my 70mai and for some reason I don't want the parking surveillance mode anymore... Will i need to remove the whole wiring and insert back the usb for cigarette lighter connection?
@@traveltechyoutube and i will connect it again when i drive the car? There is no way to disable the parking mode through the menu? I thought you have the option to either enable it or disable it. Am i wrong?
Yes you can disable it via menu as well. Yiu have to access the settings of the dashcam, search for parking mode options and disable the timelpase mode/collision detection mode. That will disable the parking mode. Multiple steps. More time. Unplug the wire. Just 1 step. Takes about 1 second. Choose according to your convenience.
Hello, I have done same thing in my Baleno alpha automatic. Dash cam works only for 30 mins post engine turn off. And post 30 mins dash cam also turns off. Can you help to resolve ?
My 70mai omni constantly records and it doesnt go to the parking mode. Please help. Should I switch the wires? (VCC and ACC)? Will it harm the unit or my car?
Hey bro! I love your videos and found it very useful in order to sort out my queries. I am planning to buy my first car and I am very much leaning towards installing a dash cam. Though I am very sceptical in hardwiring it since I do not like to touch my fuse box. I don't know how much it's safe to disturb the fuse box and whether it voids my warranty or not. Please clarify this. Also can we use 70mai 810 with ddpai USB c obd connector enabling all the features? If yes then this will be my best option. Please guide.
Hi. Good to know you are getting a new car and also planning to buy a dashcam. And I have passed through the same phase as you being very cautious and skeptical about any changes to my car when it was brand new. So I totally understand. Coming to your query, ues 70mai A810 is a good choice. But no the ddpai obd2 kit won't work with it. The 70mai obd2 kit will be released soon in about a month or two(hopefully), you can then purchase it. For now I recommend that you buy just the camera, install it in your car, start using it and get a hang of things. Once you feel you are confident about it and ready to step in further you can plan for OBD2 parking kit. No need to rush everything together.
After turning off the vehicle i only saw one instance of gree light and after that i tried making a small shake to the car and even if i stand near it. It does not seem to record
I installed A810 with OBD port parking kit from Nexdigitron. It is malfunctioning, shutting down or going to parking mode abruptly. Otherwise it's great when in works. Asnd no wire cutting and fuse taps. Works with my Tiago
It shouldn't malfunction like that. You better check the connection of the OBD adapter. Alternatively register a complaint and get it replaced to a newer one
Both are way different in pricing. A139Pro costs about ₹16K extra compared to A810 for dual channel. It offers some extra features such as Buffered Parking mode, True Motion Sensor etc along with Sony sensor on rear camera as well. i have covered its features in detail in my previous videos, you can check that out. In regards to front camera performance, both have same resolution and sensor and have nearly the same video quality. So it comes down to your personal preference.
@@traveltechyoutube hey, thanks. I got the a810 already just yesterday. But was wondering what's the difference between these. Earlier I was almost sure on a139 Pro, but the pricing is just too high for that.
Hello ! Great review! I am planning to order the A810 tomorrow and I wonder about the parking mode. Is it possible to turn both - time lapse and AI detections in the same time (with the hardware kit connected)? And also are you familiar- is 70mai updating and upgrading all the features ? Thank you ! Hope you answer soon before my purchase ☺️
Each parking mode works independent of other. Although they might provide an update to combine them. And yes, 70mai is providing updates to the cam regularly.
@@traveltechyoutube Wow, thanks for the fastest reply ever !! So it’s possible to activate time lapse and AI motion detection in the same time ? Great ! Do you have any experience with the 4G module, or any information will be very useful, because I couldn’t find any.. The only thing I figured out was that you have limited real time views - 15 per month.
For now, timelapse mode and auto event detection work independently and not together. And as far as I know, 4G hardwire kit is not currently supported in India.
Motion detection works by image captured from camera capturing some changes. Impact sensor works through accelerometer. I have observed that if motion detection sensitivity is set as high, it will keep recording all the time as it detects tree leaves movement as suspicious activity 🤣
Correct. But in the promotional material 70mai says it detects suspicious person/activity near the car and records it. The exact way this works is not mentioned anywhere. But overall I think the motion detection mode is a hit and miss.
My A810 cam is working with hardwire kit but i am unable to rnable parking aurveillyand it says parking cable not connected. Whats the solution as its already connected using 70mai hardwore kit only

Hii, I have Tata Altroz DCA. I have recently done the hardwiring in fusebox, similar way as shown in the video. Some people say, it voids warranty, some say it doesnot. What is the actual thing. Does it really void warranty of the car?
Hardwiring doesn't void the warranty of the car. BUT, some dealerships do not recommend this and say that it voids the warranty. This is because of standard company policy where the company doesn't want to be held liable to any damage to the electrical circuit (if there ever is) and doesn't wish to take up corrective actions free of cost. This is obvious because which company will ever like to replace parts and accessories for free? Even if you and me had a company, we would say the same to our customers. So in short, technically no warranty is void, but in terms of company policy and principles, it does.
So the solution to this problem is to remove the hardwiring kit just before giving your car for service or before attempting to claim any warranty, at the company's service centre. If you have replaced back the fuses to their proper slots, no one in the world can recognize that the car was hardwired previously. Hence any warranty claim at such instance will be honored by the company and you wont have a thing to worry about. Once the car is back from service, install the hardwiring back again and you are good to go until the next service (generally a year later).
@@traveltechyoutube Loved your clarity of explanation.. you cleared all possible questions.. Great 🫡. Thankyou so much for taking time and explaining the facts ❤️
Hi , can it shooting rear cam time-lapse ?..
Yes
@@traveltechyoutube Can you share an example video?
Well I currently don't have the camera with me.
What is the way to download a clip from the camera in high resolution? I have a problem after downloading the clip that is not clear?!!!
Remove the memory card from the dashcam. Insert it into your laptop/ pc or your smartphone using a card reader. Open the memory card folder and copy the video files to wherever you require.
That's it.
Thank you. ❤
Can you explain how to use 4G?
Hello, I had my mai70 a810 installation done today. The camera was turned on once and when I stopped the car and started it again, it no longer works at all. The screen does not turn on. What can I do?
Check the connection. Remove the wires and reinsert properly again.
@@traveltechyoutube I tried them all. The screen never came on. The car cigarette lighter socket didn't work either. The socket I connected via the fuse didn't work either.
If it's under replacement period, apply fot it immediately.
Hi , does it drain vehicle battery completely if left in parking mode for long say a week(without driving), does it have any kind of cut switch to preserve vehicle battery for start. Thanks
It has auto cut off at 11.6 volts. So whenever the battery reaches that point, the hardwire kit cuts power to ensure you are left with enough battery to start the car.
@@traveltechyoutube how about the recording will it continue or even stop the recording too ?
Hey bro.. what is the difference between this harwire kit and OBD2 hardiwre kit? i have seen some reviews which says this hardwire kit drains down the battery.. please help i am going to purchase 70mai A810 very soon.. need your valuable suggestion on which hardwire kit to go for and from where i can purchase it?
Hello Shashank.
Good question. Hardwire kit and OBD2 hardwire kit are two different ways to enable parking monitoring in your dashcam.
In regular hardwiring kit, you will get a hardwiring set which includes fusetaps, which you have to connect to the fuse box of your car, so that the dashcamera gets power even after your car turns off. I have made detailed videos on this if you need it.
In OBD2 hardwire kit, you dont get any fusetaps and you dont have to connect to the fuse box of the car. You have to instead connect to the OBD2 port of your car(All modern cars have OBD2 port in them below dashboard). The dashcamera then draws power from the obd2 port once the car is turned off.
In terms of convenience, obd2 kit is very easy to use and has only 1-2 steps for installation. Regular hardwiring kit has lots of steps and might be difficult for someone who is doing it for the first time.
Regarding your query about battery drain, yes both obd2 kit and regular Hardwire kit use battery power to run the dashcam when car is turned off. But, in both cases, you have a battery protection feature within the app settings of the dashcamera which you have to enable before using parking mode. This feature cuts off the battery power to the dashcam once it reaches a minimum threshold voltage like 11.8 volts or 12V of battery (whichever you have selected) and hence keeps the battery from draining out completely.

Hi. Thank you for pointing it out. I have updated the proper link now.
I am having a big issue with my 70mai A810 with OBD kit. The battery suddenly started draining out making my car to not to start. But I need the parking monitoring as well.
So what is the best modes that would use less battery and how to keep the safety features on?
Use timelapse mode
@@traveltechyoutube my timelapse mode is on too... So I have kept all the options 'on' like motion detection, collision detection and timelapse. Don't know what is the best combination or something else is there?
Disable motion detection and collision detection. Keep only timelapse mode on. That should help you
@@traveltechyoutube thank you 🙂
Thank you for the video,
I was in a dilemma choosing between this dash cam and the Rove R2.
Now, as you mentioned the shortcomings of the motion detection of 70mai, do you recommend the Rove R2? Does it provide a better motion detection function?
The only cameras that offer 'True' Motion detection are VIOFO A229 and A329 series, Plus or Pro variants. The motion detection is flawless. You can check them out here:

Its rear camera (RC12) can also trigger Al motion detection in Parking Mode? Or only working the Al motion detection in the front camera?
Only front
@traveltechyoutube Approximately how long can an average car battery power two cameras in Parking Mode with both motion detection and G-sensor detection enabled to trigger events?

Sir I think your from Hassan
Is it possible you to fixing wiring and setting up my newly purchased 70mai A800 with parking hardware kit in Hassan
Is there battery discharge issue as of now ?
I haven't faced any such issue yet
I have the P mode and everything turned on but when I go and check, it didn’t record anything. Please help!
Same problem
very informative video. I have done hard wiring in honda city (70 mai kit for A810).i have disabled motion detection, but rest on under parking. But my camera never turns off. I do have P logo, but when i switch off my car, it doesnt give me message on screen (going in parking mode). Screen remain on and green light is on too.
You have to recheck the ACC and VCC fuses again. If connected improperly, the dashcam won't enter parking mode.
Hi can you please confirm if keeping on parking monitoring is draining your battery fast? Or any issues with the battery if you have observed... I am planning to purchase A810 with hard wiring kit..
what's your take on a cut-off voltage of 11.8 which is below the safe cut-off of 12? Thanks.
Thats fine if you're just starting the car, but if your engine is running at 11.8v that's bad.
Once it is in parking mode, does it record videos from both the front and back sides? In my society few people are drinking and eating stuff, sometimes on bonut and sometimes on dickie? I want to record evidence. Please suggest a camera.
Thanks for the clarification. I'm plqnning to buy 70mai a810 but I'm wondering about the car battery. will it dead the car battery if I set the dash cam on parking mode for 10 hrs? what option will be helpfull for parking survilance with lower impact on car battery?
When the car battery lowers below a certain threshold the car powers out the cam, so cam will stop working but car will be able to start
Always bring a powerbank jumpstarter. Well, hardwired or not.
Could anyone kindly advise on how to find the correct fuse for XUV 700? I have installed it in a hardwire kit with the accessories team, but I am encountering some issues. Any suggestions or available information would be greatly appreciated.
What is the exact issue?
Hi, First of all thank you for creating such an informative video.
I am done with Hardwire kit installation for Honda Elevate, but my dashcam keeps on running even when the car is locked its not going into parking mode. For VCC I have used Small light fuse and For ACC I have used CTR ACC Socket. Any suggestions what could be going wrong
Is the grounding properly done?
my 70mai a810 is hardwired, brand new kia Sportage 2024 model, when i turn the car on overnight i get a message 12v battery discharging due to additional electrical devices.. is this because the hardwire voltage cut off is 11.4v.. will this affect my battery ?
In the long term, yes. I recommend you turn on only the timelapse mode for parking mode and check back again
so dont turn collision detection? and just have timelapse ?
Yes. Enabling other features than timelapse consumes more battery
@@traveltechyoutubetried just timeplase overnight and just turned the car on and still same message
also no recordings
Which fusibile power needs the kit for each splitter?
Check your cars manual
If hardwire kit only cuts power at 11.4V how will be possible to start the engine for sure???
I think that this is low voltage for an easily start of the engine...
How much the battery drain if the time lapse mode in on
For timelapse mode, battery drain is very minimal.
Hey, can you please tell me, If i don't want to Do this hardwiring thing for Parking Recording, I just want parking recording barely for 4-6 hrs a day , So ,Can you tell me ,if we can use a power bank for the same?
Dashcams need a specific voltage to activate parking monitoring. If your powerbank supplies a different one, the dashcam will continue to record normally and not in Timelapse mode. So you need to check this with your powerbank.
@@traveltechyoutube sry ,but what's the Difference between normally and Time lapse mode???..I didn't get it!......... also, is there a chance of Power Bank blast or Camera Heating and getting damage due to power Bank use ?
Normally when the engine is on and dashcam is connected. Timelapse mode when the engine is off and dashcam is in parking monitoring mode. This records at lesser frames per second and creates a 1min video for every 30minutes approx. This saves space on memory card and can record upto longer duration.
Power banks are susceptible to heat. So if kept in car when the car is in direct sunlight or the the cabin is hot, may lead to burn out.
@@traveltechyoutube Sir, is there any other method,to record the Parking without Power Bank OR Hard Wiring? Because,both seem to have One con!
Check this: www.nexdigitron.com/products/battery-pack-70mai-typec
Hi, I like your videos. I would like to know if using the fuse installation kit on the 70mai A810 and not enabling any type of parking mode will not drain energy? I would only use it in places I chose. It is possible? The 4g Kit can cut at higher voltages (above 12v) I am studying this too...
To disable parking mode, simply disconnect the wire(hardwire fuse kit) from the dashcam. Plug it back in whenever you ne'ed parking mode to be used.
@@traveltechyoutubehold on...
Let's say i have hardwired my 70mai and for some reason I don't want the parking surveillance mode anymore...
Will i need to remove the whole wiring and insert back the usb for cigarette lighter connection?
Nope. Just disconnect the wire from the dashcam.
@@traveltechyoutube and i will connect it again when i drive the car?
There is no way to disable the parking mode through the menu?
I thought you have the option to either enable it or disable it.
Am i wrong?
Yes you can disable it via menu as well. Yiu have to access the settings of the dashcam, search for parking mode options and disable the timelpase mode/collision detection mode. That will disable the parking mode.
Multiple steps. More time.
Unplug the wire. Just 1 step. Takes about 1 second.
Choose according to your convenience.
Hello, I have done same thing in my Baleno alpha automatic. Dash cam works only for 30 mins post engine turn off. And post 30 mins dash cam also turns off. Can you help to resolve ?
Have you enabled the 'auto off after stop' feature within the dashcam settings?
@@traveltechyoutube I have set it to never turn off
Maybe the battery voltage falls below the pre set limit and that's when the hardwiring kit automatically turns off the dashcam to save battery.
My 70mai omni constantly records and it doesnt go to the parking mode. Please help. Should I switch the wires? (VCC and ACC)? Will it harm the unit or my car?
You may have not hardwired properly. I recommend you recheck the fuses for acc and vcc and give proper connections.
Hey bro! I love your videos and found it very useful in order to sort out my queries. I am planning to buy my first car and I am very much leaning towards installing a dash cam. Though I am very sceptical in hardwiring it since I do not like to touch my fuse box. I don't know how much it's safe to disturb the fuse box and whether it voids my warranty or not. Please clarify this. Also can we use 70mai 810 with ddpai USB c obd connector enabling all the features? If yes then this will be my best option. Please guide.
Hi. Good to know you are getting a new car and also planning to buy a dashcam. And I have passed through the same phase as you being very cautious and skeptical about any changes to my car when it was brand new. So I totally understand.
Coming to your query, ues 70mai A810 is a good choice. But no the ddpai obd2 kit won't work with it. The 70mai obd2 kit will be released soon in about a month or two(hopefully), you can then purchase it. For now I recommend that you buy just the camera, install it in your car, start using it and get a hang of things. Once you feel you are confident about it and ready to step in further you can plan for OBD2 parking kit. No need to rush everything together.
Thank you so much brother! I really appreciate that. 🙂
70mai wiring kit ( c type) not available in amazon
What Watts Should use for the hardwire Kit? Thanks
12v to 30v
Does 4g hardware kit work in India 😢
No it doesn't
Will it stick again if we remove it from windshield? I want to move it to some other place. Please tell if anyone tried that
If you remove very gently without tearing the sticker, it will stick again.
@@traveltechyoutube thank you
After turning off the vehicle i only saw one instance of gree light and after that i tried making a small shake to the car and even if i stand near it. It does not seem to record
Does it consume high power during parking if we hardwire it? Thanks
In parking, it uses very less power for timelapse mode.
I installed A810 with OBD port parking kit from Nexdigitron. It is malfunctioning, shutting down or going to parking mode abruptly. Otherwise it's great when in works. Asnd no wire cutting and fuse taps. Works with my Tiago
It shouldn't malfunction like that. You better check the connection of the OBD adapter. Alternatively register a complaint and get it replaced to a newer one
I am in contact with Nexdigitron. They helped me diagnose this issue. I will report my findings to them
Good. All the best 👍
Make a comparison between A139 Pro and A810
Both are way different in pricing. A139Pro costs about ₹16K extra compared to A810 for dual channel. It offers some extra features such as Buffered Parking mode, True Motion Sensor etc along with Sony sensor on rear camera as well. i have covered its features in detail in my previous videos, you can check that out. In regards to front camera performance, both have same resolution and sensor and have nearly the same video quality. So it comes down to your personal preference.
@@traveltechyoutube hey, thanks. I got the a810 already just yesterday. But was wondering what's the difference between these. Earlier I was almost sure on a139 Pro, but the pricing is just too high for that.
Hello ! Great review! I am planning to order the A810 tomorrow and I wonder about the parking mode. Is it possible to turn both - time lapse and AI detections in the same time (with the hardware kit connected)? And also are you familiar- is 70mai updating and upgrading all the features ? Thank you ! Hope you answer soon before my purchase ☺️
Each parking mode works independent of other. Although they might provide an update to combine them. And yes, 70mai is providing updates to the cam regularly.
@@traveltechyoutube Wow, thanks for the fastest reply ever !! So it’s possible to activate time lapse and AI motion detection in the same time ? Great !
Do you have any experience with the 4G module, or any information will be very useful, because I couldn’t find any.. The only thing I figured out was that you have limited real time views - 15 per month.
For now, timelapse mode and auto event detection work independently and not together. And as far as I know, 4G hardwire kit is not currently supported in India.
Can I add another power source so my batter doesn’t get affected?
Generally yes, but depends on power source, its voltage, its susceptibility to heat etc. It might damage the dashcam in the long run.
my fuse adapters are so tight that I'm not able to insert the existing fuse into the adapter.
Well it takes some work. It isnt easy in mine as well. But still gotta do it.
@@traveltechyoutube I'm afraid of breaking the fuse! 😅
🤣
Motion detection works by image captured from camera capturing some changes. Impact sensor works through accelerometer. I have observed that if motion detection sensitivity is set as high, it will keep recording all the time as it detects tree leaves movement as suspicious activity 🤣
Correct. But in the promotional material 70mai says it detects suspicious person/activity near the car and records it. The exact way this works is not mentioned anywhere. But overall I think the motion detection mode is a hit and miss.
