- Are you confused about what the 70mai Pro GPS module actually does and doesn't do? If so, this video will tell you exactly and will provide actual footage of the ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) in action. The GPS module costs around US$15, but is it worthwhile for you personally?

finally, a summary of the gps feature. thanks a lot mate. drive safe.
Thanks for you comment!
Exactly and a decent short vid.
😭so the gps dose not show the speed on screen? How about when u take the SD card out and put it in your PC will it show ?
thank you for the video, can this camera suffer the sun heat? because i live on high temperature country over+40 degrees.
Thanks for your comment! I live in southern Thailand. The temperature here never quite reaches 40C, but it gets very close in the hot season. I had concerns about the adhesive that secures the camera being affected by heat, but that hasn't been a problem. Neither have there been any operational problems with the camera caused by heat. I've only been using the camera for a few months, but so far there have been no heat-related problems and I installed it during the hottest part of the year. I always use the car battery to power it, but if you use the internal camera battery (for parking surveillance mode, for example) I understand that excessive heat reduces the life of lithium-ion batteries.
Nice Video Phil, I was looking for ADAS features, you explained it beautifully.
You are very kind, thank you for taking the time to comment. I'm pleased that some people have found the video useful.
good one phil. agreed with you, don't think the GPS module worth it.
@@olyusop3890 At the moment I don't think so. The three ADAS functions don't help me and the system doesn't work very reliably. With ADAS switched on it will stay very quiet for a long time and then suddenly wake up. The last firmware update started showing speed and GPS coordinates on videos when viewed on the 70mai Pro, but this still isn't very useful. If they release a further firmware update that displays speed and coordinates on the live view and also shows this information in the image files then it would be useful, but so far that hasn't happened. Thanks for your comment!
I absolutely love your high quality content! Keep them coming!
I have a question, have you faced any audio-video out of sync issues?
That's very kind, thank you! I haven't, but I very rarely use the microphone to record audio. With the dash cam I'm only really interested in video.
Thanks for your video, it’s a very good summary of the gps features. Decided to buy it after watching this video
I'm really pleased that you found it useful. Thanks for letting me know!
Finally some very useful info searching from some time. Thanks Phil. 👍
Thanks Preethesh!
Was looking for this feature. Indeed helpful. Thank you.
Pleasure! Thanks for your comment.
Greetings from a foreign driver in Thailand as well. Stay safe especially during these times
Thank you!
Totally agree with you that we all need to exercise high alert whenever behind the wheel. Don't count on these features and it only give us some kind of assistance. Good video and thanks.
Thanks for your comment!
Great video, Phil. The features clearly demonstrated and it helps in making decision whether to add the GPS module in our purchase.
By the way, I wonder, does the GPS help to locate our car in a case of car theft? i.e. car location can be detected in the app ...
Just wondering
It's an interesting idea, but GPS tracking isn't available on the 70mai Pro. This feature would need additional hardware and a SIM card. If you need this you could purchase a separate device. Some of the GPS tracking devices I have seen are quite small and inexpensive. Thanks for your comment!
Thanks for the video, now I absolutely buying one without GPS features
After I made this video 70mai released some further firmware updates that made the GPS module a lot more useful. However, I have been unable to download them. I am still using 1.0.5na. I tried to download 1.2.0 and it told me I was at the latest level. I now have 1.3.2 on my phone, but when I try to do a firmware update it says there are no updates. I am stuck on 1.0.5na. With this version you can only see speed and coordinates when you view videos on the camera itself, which isn't much use. If you can download the later firmware and see this information on the actual video the GPS will be a lot more useful. Frustrating.
@@PhilUKNet hy sir kindly tell me that is this gps module is same as that which i use in 70 mai pro .
Is the gps module comparible. with both cameras i mean 70 mai pro and pro plus
@@Medicozone2000 I don't have one, but I believe the Pro Plus is the A500 model, which has GPS built in. You therefore don't need a separate GPS module as you do with the Pro.
Thank you so much, Excellent review!
My pleasure! Thanks for your comment.
Thank you Sir, very useful. Cheers from India.
Pleasure, thanks for commenting!
Thanks bro for your great video with all the fine details. God bless. 👍👍👍
I'm glad it helped. Thanks for your kind comment!
we considered buying the GPS addition and wanted further information on what it adds, your short and precise explanation helped us immensely.
Thank you for doing this video, we also cannot relax on the roads, and the voice alerts from your video already irritated us enough to skip this feature!
I'm pleased it helped, thanks for taking the time to comment. I also find the voice alerts slightly irritating. 'The car ahead is moving' - yes I know, 'Lane departure' - yes I know, 'Beware of the car ahead' - yes I know! The ADAS may be useful for some people, but I've been driving for 41 years now and I've never needed to be alerted to these things. I still don't, thus I didn't find the features particularly useful.
@@PhilUKNet I wonder can it help you with not hitting a car when driving 20 km/h and very close to car like 1 or half metter.. I hit a car at that speed once because I wasn't watching in front of me like half/one second.
one1 I'm not sure of the minimum speed. It is 80 km/h for lane departure. In my experience it doesn't work how you describe.
@@PhilUKNet I purchased camera today without GPS module ;)
@@city8742 If you decide later that you want ADAS you can purchase a GPS module separately, but I didn't find it all that useful. I am going to get a 70mai for my wife's car and I won't bother with the GPS module.
Thanks! It was very helpful for me.
Thank you!
My car already comes with those features. Thank you for saving me some money!
What car do you drive?
very helpful video. thank You
Thank you, but ... due to the latest firmware update issued a few days ago ... this information is now out of date! With the new firmware (1.0.5na) you should be able to see latitude, longitude and speed. I was hoping to make a new video to demonstrate this, but since updating the firmware I haven't been able to recalibrate my camera. I've tried about 20 times and calibration fails every time. I'm not sure why.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: After making this video the manufacturer released a firmware update (1.0.5na) which adds longitude, latitude and speed. I think the update was released on 17 June 2019. There was a lot of criticism about the lack of these features and this update should make a lot of existing users very happy, as well as improving sales. I've actually installed the update, but my 70mai Pro keeps failing calibration and it seems that the new information will appear only when the unit is calibrated. When I get sorted this out I will make a quick video update.
FURTHER UPDATE: After 5 days trying to get the dash cam to calibrate I gave up, but then it suddenly calibrated itself. Very frustrating, but at least I was able to test the firmware update. Unfortunately, I am disappointed. The longitude/latitude/speed information is only shown when you view videos on the back of the dash cam. This is useless for me. I want to see the information in the live view when I am driving and also on recorded footage, but it isn't in either of these places. Hopefully, 70mai will release another firmware update to address these issues.
My video of the LATEST FIRMWARE UPDATE can be seen here:
th-cam.com/video/k6donOfYBh0/w-d-xo.html
And here's a link to the 70mai page with information about the firmware update.
int-bbs.70mai.com.cn/?thread-66.htm
It only displays them on playbacks on the device screen itself, not on downloaded clips but they promise to improve on that, too.. hopefully it would be soon enough
@@ahmadfaisalalias7561 Hopefully! Thanks for your comment and let's hope together :)
Hi! I have same issues about calibration failing EVERYTIME..
I already follow all instructions, keep speed steadily above 20km/h, (i tried 30, 80, 90, 100), all at highway since there are clear road lines.. but still.. always fail..
Is there any way i can calibrate it successfully? Thanks in advance
Same here. Try for many time keep shows calibration failed.
@@allstarsss1 Try to adjust angle of camera to feet lne of your car hood (not line of horizon as they said!) in gray region. Manual says that must by horiziont line but i think there are some mistake.
Extremely helpful.
Thank you!
Very nice video n clearly explained the features...i was having doubt weather to buy or not....but now every thing is clear to me
Thanks for your comment, but be aware that since I made this video there have been some firmware updates that add more features. Whereas the GPS coordinates and speed weren't shown at the time I made the video, subsequent firmware updates now display those things. However, nothing has changed with the ADAS and what I describe regarding the ADAS features still applies.
@@PhilUKNet thanks for ur valuable reply
manish verma You're welcome, I'm pleased that I can help.
thank you for this helpful video sir.
You're welcome. Thanks for your kind comment sir!
Thank you very much for this video
Pleasure, thanks for your comment!
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome! Sorry for the delay replying, but I wasn't notified of this message. TH-cam has just added a feature that informs me of messages I haven't replied to. There are lots.
Thanks for the gps review
Pleasure! Thanks for your comment.
love your criticism of the ADAS feature with regards to Thai roads.
One question though, is it possible to change the notification sound?
I'm afraid it's not. Another person asked whether it is possible to turn the voice notifications off, but it's not. You can only turn off the individual ADAS features. When you use voice control to record an emergency video or take a still photo it gives you voice confirmation. It does the same to tell you if there has been a parking event or if the battery is low. It isn't possible to turn off or change the sound of any of these notifications. All you can do is turn the volume down, which you can do via the app but not on the camera.
It doesn't make me feel good criticising Thai roads, but the truth of the matter is that driving standards are shocking and there is essentially no law enforcement. For me personally, it's the worst aspect of living in Thailand. There are minor annoyances that I can live with, but the appalling driving standards result in thousands of needless lost lives each year that could easily be avoided if there was a will to improve things.
Great video Phil. Any idea about the minimum speed required for Forward collision warning system to work.
Thanks. The user manual doesn't specify a minimum speed for this function, but the minimum speed for calibration is 20 km/h. I would assume that the minimum speed for this function is the same. I certainly haven't heard it at low speed, for example, in car parks when there are cars just ahead. I've only heard it on the open road, but I don't know what the minimum speed is exactly. 20km/h is just a guess based on the minimum speed required for calibration.
Thank you again Sir . Merci infiniment . شكرا
Thank you for your kind comment!
The most important feature of the GPS module is the time, position and speed readout. If you are involved in an incident by viewing the video on the screen or downloading the video in the app on your phone or it's possible to see the time, date, location and speed of the event. This is why I purchased the module. This upgrade for the pro was released in June 2019.
What I really want is to see the speed and GPS coordinates in the video files that I copy to my computer. For a long time I was hoping that there would be a firmware update to do this, but it didn't arrive. I am still on the 1.0.6na version of firmware. For a long time now, whenever I have tried to do a firmware update it says there are no updates available.
Hi, awesome videos Btw.
Just a question, I also bought this adas module a while ago, but 2 months it kind of shot itself and does not conned properly. You would need to push the camera into the module for it to recognise it.
I suspect it was due to Australian heat and it warped the plastic or something. Haven't been able to fix it, but have you had such a problem considering our similar climate?
I've had quite a lot of questions about heat problems, but I've had no issues at all personally. Nothing has melted, come loose or warped because of heat so far. I try to keep the car out of the sun as much as I can, but of course this isn't always possible.
@@PhilUKNet ah ok. Thanks.
Very helpful information
Thank you!
Hi Phil, I am planning to get 2 of these 70mai pro. Just wondering if it works as a rear camera aswell? (Sticking it on rear windscreen)
Robert Hoon I don't see why not. It will work whichever way you point it. However, you will have separate videos for back and front. Using it as a rear camera will confuse ADAS so you won't need the GPS module for a rear camera. For parking surveillance it will be a lot better to have cameras front and rear.
Thanks for this video. I was wondering what adas is and i was planning to try setting it up where i can do min of 20km for 8mins, in PH i can only do this in expressway. however after i saw your video, i think ill stick to it being disabled. Im good with the gps alone.
I don't find it particularly useful either and it's not very consistent. In a competitive market they've tried to add some extra value, but the ADAS and parking surveillance features don't do much for me. I just use it as a basic dash cam and it's fine for that.
Great review
Thank you!
Thanks for the videos. I have a question. Adas does not warn from time to time, it warns some time, some time does not for the similar situation. What may be the reason is?
Also, while calibrating adas, there are 2 calibrating page . What should be the camera positions for both? Should the areas of the camera screen see the end of the hood or way only.
The messages comes from the screen for adas calibration as below:
1)Turn the lens to ensure the distance horizon within the highlighted area
2)Move the dash cam to align car head with the highlighted area
Thanks again
Hello Ahmet. You are right about ADAS. At times it seems as if it has gone to sleep. With it switched on I don't hear anything for a long time and then, suddenly, it starts warning me about everything as if it has just woken up. I don't know the reason why.
Neither can I help with your second question. The left to right position of the camera is fixed unless you move the electrostatic sticker on the windscreen, which isn't convenient. The up/down position can be adjusted and I have adjusted mine so that I can just see the car hood at the bottom of the screen without too much sky at the top.
Thanks for commenting and sorry I can't help you more. There are a few strange anomalies with the 70mai for which I don't have answers.
Hello, after A LOT of research and thanks to your high quality and deep explanatory videos, i recently bought a 70 mai dash cam pro with the gps module but im having a weird issue, ADAS module working fine, but for some reason when i want to check the videos on my computer or check them on the phone, the coordinates and recorded speed are not shown but the gps module is working without any problems, i even get the ADAS warning sounds but no recording. Not even when i see through the app the live recording. ¿Any ideas?, greetings from Chile!
This is how it's designed. You only see the coordinates and speed when viewing videos on the camera and the app. This information doesn't appear in videos that you download to your computer. For a long time I was hoping that 70mai would fix it with a firmware upgrade, but that never happened. Later cameras have this feature and they just seem to want customers to buy new cameras.
Thank for the video. How do you see ADAS feature. Is it accurate and working fine?
You don't see it, you hear it. It warns you of three things - changing lane, being too close to the vehicle ahead, and when the car in front of you in traffic starts to move. It is fairly accurate, but if you are a competent driver you should know these things already and not need to be reminded. Whenever it tells me something I know already, so I don't actually find it that useful. Thanks for your comment!
Ordered today will arrive Monday, I’m gonna use it as rear dashcam, in the front I have Aukey DR02. Do you think the ADAS can be useful in anyway if I use it as rear dashcam, maybe it still can see when I change lane and is gonna say vehicle ahead when someone is tailgating, but I’m not sure.
I just looked at a video for the new 70mai 4k dash cam. That one can accept input for a rear dash cam, but apart from the higher resolution (which seems to be overkill) the features look similar to the 80mai Pro. I've received other comments from people planning to use the 70mai Pro as a rear camera, but I'm not sure how ADAS performs. It's all designed for a front facing camera. Presumably, if someone is tailgating it will tell you that you are close to the vehicle ahead. When you are in traffic and take off, if there is a stationary car behind it will probably tell you that the car in front is moving. I'm not sure how it will handle lane departure while facing backwards. If you find out it would be useful if you could give me an update later!
Hello first of all great video. I haven’t bought this product yet because of this one feature that i’m a bit skeptic about. There’s this one feature indicated on the website that you can check your car via dash cam ‘Anywhere, Anytime’. In my understanding you could check your car even if you’re very far/away from it (i.e. left your car in a parking lot or your friend borrowed your car) Is there any such feature like that? Hoping for your answer. Cheers.
I haven't seen this feature advertised. It may be applicable to other 70mai devices, but it certainly doesn't apply to my 70mai Pro. To be able to check any time from anywhere you would need to connect the Dash Cam to the Internet via the mobile phone network and therefore the device would need a slot for a SIM card. My camera doesn't have a slot for a SIM card.
When I bought my dash cam one of the adverts I saw said it had a time lapse feature, but it doesn't. The other confusing thing is that my 70mai Dash Cam Pro seems to have disappeared. They sent me an e-mail recently that included the 70mai Dash Cam Lite, the 70mai Mini Dash Cam, and the 70mai Smart Dash Cam 1S. There was no mention of the 70mai Dash Cam Pro. As I said above, another 70mai model may have this feature, but not my one. Check to see if the model you are interested in can accept a SIM card.
I recently used 70mai pro with GPS for the first time. I have watched the recorded footage on a mobile using 70mai app and I find that it shows longitude, latitude and speed.
As I understand it, the GPS coordinates appear when viewed on the app or on the camera, but not if you copy the file to a computer. However, they do on other models, such as my wife's A800.
Thanks for the video, very helpful. I bought with the gps module, and the only thing I can use it for, is the speed, I think it could be helpful when my 18 old son can drive alone🙂 I have a few questions- when I download a video to my phone, the the speed, is not on this movie, only on the original? How do I put f.eks 5 video's together to one long video🤔 do I need some program my laptop?
Thanks for your comment. I was very confused about the GPS information being written to the video. Someone left a comment a while ago saying that with firmware version 1.0.6na it was written to video. However, I downloaded this firmware version and I still have no speed or GPS coordinates on the video. I only see this information when I view videos on the camera. I don't know why he can see it, but I can't. Maybe he is using another model camera? To stitch the videos together you will need some kind of video editing program. I used to use the Microsoft one that came with Windows, but now I use Adobe Premiere Pro. These programs are quite confusing at first, but after some practice it's quite easy to join videos together.
Very usefull. Thank you very much
You're welcome, thanks for your comment!
Thanks for the video , would you please tell us if we can change the warning voice to a tipping which is better I guess
I'm not quite sure that I understand your question about tipping. You can't change the warning voice. There are three ADAS functions, which you can turn on or off individually as you choose. That's about all you can change.
@@PhilUKNet Hi , thanks for your answer , Sorry it's missed typing , I want to mean bipping instead of the voice
@@mehdiUtubeful I don't believe you can. It's the voice or nothing.
@@PhilUKNet Thanks for the help
I am planning on buying this dashcam and your videos are extremely helpful! Thanks so much! I have a question though - Can ADAS be configured to only beep or make some other sound, i.e., without the voice?
Thank you! No, I'm afraid it can't. Other people have asked this, but it isn't configurable - you can just turn it on or off 🙁
@@PhilUKNet thanks for replying! I do hope they add the functionality (among many others) through a firmware update. Here in northeast India, the voice would get really annoying really quickly.
@@ruatachhangte Ever since I've had my 70Mai Pro I've been hoping for firmware updates, but they never come. 70Mai have now announced the A500, which is what the Pro could have been with updates. It's more profitable to release new models with updated features rather than to provide free firmware updates! And yes, that voice does get annoying!

Hi, great video! I have the same dashcam but when I try and play it back on my computer, the video freezes with only audio ca be heard. I replaced the SD card, but same issue! Any suggestions? Thanks!
Sorry for the delay replying, but your comment was flagged as spam and I've only just seen it. I'm afraid that I really don't know. It could be so many things. If you've already changed the SD card, it would imply that the SD card is OK. Would it be possible to try on a different computer to try to identify whether your computer might have a problem?
Very Useful 👌
Thanks!
Excelente vídeo, acabo de adquirir la cámara sin el modulo GPS y pensé que había cometido un error, pero creo que no es así. Gracias por la explicación.
"Excellent video, I just bought the camera without the GPS module and I thought I had made a mistake, but I don't think so. Thanks for the explanation."
Thank you!
If the GPS module only enables ADAS it's not really worth it because ADAS isn't that useful, but if the GPS module shows coordinates and speed it is worth it. Unfortunately, 70mai never released a firmware upgrade for the Pro that adds coordinates and speed to the video.
They added this feature to later models and also the later models have built-in GPS modules so you don't have to buy a separate one. Nowadays, I wouldn't recommend getting a 70mai Pro, I would recommend getting a 70mai A500.
@@PhilUKNet gracias.
Thanks for video but how i can to record on my 70 mia pro plus A500 full hd video quality entire mobile screen 9:16 because the cam record in 3:4 mode ?
I don't know. Mine is just the 70mai Pro, not the 70mai Plus A500. Sorry.
Thank you for your video. One would think if a module is called GPS, it will provide GPS location info. This module should have been called ADAS module. It is my mistake I did not make proper research about this add-on before I bought it - it is totally useless. A driver, that need to be told by a camera, that he should move his ass or start braking, should not be driving at all.
One question please: did you find out how to set the camera to start auto-recording when I turn my engine on? Because I have to start my cam manually and I usually forget about it.
I agree totally with all your comments! It confused me and it has confused a lot of other people. Yes, the term ADAS module would be a lot less confusing. Regarding your question, the camera starts recording when the external power supply is switched on. If you connect it to a 12V circuit that is only live when the ignition is on the camera should stop and start with the engine. I have mine connected to a circuit that is live all the time and I use a switch in the circuit to manually turn it on and off. I did it this way so that there would still be power with the ignition off if I wanted to use the parking surveillance feature. Thanks for your comment.
Update to latest version: 1.0.5na
-Add speed, latitude and longitude display.

Does lane departure feature recognise the sound of the turn signals (beeps) to not warn you of the lane chage (because you already know that)?
No, unfortunately it's not as clever as that. There are times when it is necessary to change lanes several times and it doesn't shut up. Very annoying!

Nice vids and advice, i just want to ask my dash cam is not switching on automatically when i turn on the engine.please i need ur advice.. mine is 70mai cam pro plus time published 29.04.2021 thanks in advanced.😀
I really don't know, but a few questions. Are you using a hardwire kit? If not, does the power outlet you are using have power all the time or is there only power with the ignition on? Are you using the adapter provided by 70mai? If so, there are two sockets. Are you using the one for the camera?

Please Help, GPS data appears when we look at the recordings from the app, but when we save the video on the phone, the GPS data is not recorded on the video
I'm afraid I can't help! This has been one of my biggest gripes. You can see speed and coordinates if you view videos on the cam, but this information doesn't appear in the recorded videos. This could easily be added with a firmware update and after every firmware update I hope it will appear, but it never does. I just watched a video review of 70mai's new 4k dash cam and GPS information WAS in the video! If you want to see the GPS data it seems you will have to buy the new 4k dash cam. 70mai don't seem to be interested adding this functionality to the 70mai Pro.
Hi, I've seen this new 70mai plus pro (a500/a500s), do you know of you are able to disable GPS so that speed is not visible on the videos?
I don't have an A500, therefore I don't know. My wife has an A800 which, like the A500, has a built-in GPS module. On the A800 you can disable the speed. In the settings menu there is a Speed / Latitude option that can be enabled or disabled. With it disabled the speed and GPS coordinates are not visible. If the A500 has the same settings menu as the A800 you will be able to do this. I would imagine that the menu systems are basically the same but because I don't have an A500 I can't tell you for sure.
Thanks Phil!
Konumları nasıl görebiliriz mesela nerden nereye gitmişiz ve ya o anda videoda neredeyiz harita olarak gösteriyor mu ?
"How can we see the locations, for example, where did we go from where we went or where we are in the video at that moment?" In order to see the GPS coordinates you need to view the video on the camera display or in the app. Files that are downloaded and viewed on a computer don't have this information.
Thanks you saved my 18 usd
Every cent helps these days!
i have buy include the GPS but always fail when calibration. can you show me the correct way to calibration?
At times I have had lots of problems calibrating and it has taken a long time. At other times it has calibrated immediately. It's very temperamental. Make sure that the camera is tilted to the correct angle. You need to drive at a speed in excess of 20 km/h on a road with clear lines in good light. The process can take 5-8 minutes. If you still have problems try it on different roads at different times of the day. Sorry I can't be more helpful, but if I knew of an easy, sure fire way of doing it I would tell you.
Thx , man
My pleasure!
Thank for video in thailand.
Sittipun ยินดีครับ
Love the video Sir. But wouldn't this be so annoying as it will detect a lot of vehicle motions on the road?
You're right, it does get annoying. Every time you change lane, for example, it tells you 'Lane departure'. Provided that you aren't asleep while you're driving you should be aware of all these things without your dash cam telling you.
Did you update to this yet? Xiaomi/70Mai Pro 1.3.0 firmware update
I didn't even know about it! Thanks for letting me know. I had problems updating to 1.2.0 so I'm still on 1.0.5na. I'll look into it.
70mai is the best DASHCAM ever
LOL! I have come to the conclusion that it's a good basic dashcam with decent image quality and excellent reliability, but the best ever? I suspect that many people might question this! Anyway, thanks for your comment.
GPS also is needed for parking mode. It will activate parking mode when GPS does not detect movement after a certain number of minutes.
Are you sure? I just disconnected my GPS module and turned on parking mode. It works fine without GPS and the 'P' appears to indicate that parking mode is active. If GPS was needed for parking mode (as it is for ADAS) I would get a message telling me it was needed, wouldn't I? Where did you get this information? I haven't seen this anywhere else. Parking mode activates a set number of minutes after turning the camera off (20, 30, 40 or 50 minutes). The user can select which value. I've read nothing about parking mode being activated a certain number of minutes after the GPS doesn't detect any movement. Parking mode is started by turning the camera off. How can the GPS detect movement with the camera off? I'm not disputing you, I'd just like to know from where you got this information.
@@PhilUKNet Ah, I apologize, Ive been looking at so many cameras and reviews that I got mixed up. Was another camera that used GPS inactivity to activate parking mode.
@@PeeeterrYHo No problem! You just confused me a little. I'm still learning about this dash cam so when someone tells me something like this I'm not sure if they're wrong or if it's something that I don't understand. Obviously, the camera can detect motion in front of the car because it does this with ADAS, but it can only do this with the GPS module installed and the camera turned on. The camera isn't turned on in parking mode. Also, I don't fully understand the connection between GPS and ADAS and why ADAS needs the GPS module. The Chinese engineers who designed this dash cam are a lot smarter than me.
@@PhilUKNet Probably the relation of speed requirement for lane assist. I'm sure it would be quite obnoxious on local roads. How do you like the parking feature. One thing that made me thing the GPS has a role in parking mode is this from the manual:
"If the cigarette lighter port is still power-on after the car is stopped, the device will enter the parking surveillance mode after parking for 20 minutes."
How would the camera know that the car is stopped for 20 min? Only way is if GPS reads 0 mph for 20 min?
@@PeeeterrYHo It goes into parking mode and starts the clock when you turn the camera off. That's how it knows. Nothing to do with GPS.
I don't use the parking feature. My car has suffered lots of little dings in parking lots, but always in places out of sight of the camera. Secondly, even if I did have video evidence I doubt very much that the local police would be interested and my insurance company would need a police report. Thirdly, every time I return to the car and open and close the door it triggers a parking event so then I have to look to see if there are any genuine parking events.
You are correct in that certain ADAS features will only work above a certain speed and GPS is needed to measure the speed. I guess that's the answer! Thanks for your comments.
Several times the dashcam, tryed to calibrate , but it fails every time; have you suggestion for fix it?
I've had exactly the same problem. After one firmware upgrade it took four days to calibrate! However, on other occasions it has calibrated within a couple of minutes. Follow their instructions by driving at a speed higher than 20 km/h in good light on roads that have clear markings. I have no idea why it calibrates quickly sometimes, but at other times it keeps failing. Try adjusting the angle of the camera slightly, try driving on different roads and try at different times of day when the light isn't the same. Other than that I can't really help you. Some aspects of the 70mai are quite frustrating. Good luck!
@@PhilUKNet thank you . Iesterday , the cam,after many times reported calibration failed, finally get calibrate, the only thing i done is to move the cam by few degrees up. Now, is calibrate, and work properly.
@@sergiovitiello7332 I'm pleased to hear that it calibrated, thanks for letting me know. I haven't updated the firmware or detached the GPS module for a long time so I haven't been through the calibration process for several months, but I remember getting frustrated with it. Hopefully, now that you have set the angle it likes it will calibrate easier next time.
can the 70mai pro plus gps can be detected in google map? tnx..
No, it's not the kind of GPS that can track the position of a vehicle. The GPS module does two things. It enables ADAS and when you play back videos on the camera or the 70mai app you can see the speed and coordinates. However, you cannot see this information if you download a video and play it on your computer.
Thanks for the video, I've now got my eye on this camera!
I remember the danger on Thai roads 🤦♂️. however, I now live in Germany and drivers here are almost as dangerous. But rather than through lack of skill or education, through ignorance and arrogance.
I remember driving standards in the UK being good, but friends still living there tell me that has changed. Germans drive fast, but at least laws are reinforced. They aren't here and people do whatever they want on the roads.
Hi! I have same issues about calibration failing EVERYTIME..
I already follow all instructions, keep speed steadily above 20km/h, (i tried 30, 80, 90, 100), all at highway since there are clear road lines.. but still.. always fail..
Is there any way i can calibrate it successfully? Thanks in advance
Mmm, I've had exactly the same problems - after installing firmware 1.0.5na it took four days to calibrate - but at other times it has calibrated immediately. I don't know what to suggest other than what you have tried already. It's frustrating I know, but if you persevere it does seem to calibrate in the end. Perhaps try adjusting the camera slightly or trying at different times of the day when the light is at different levels. When I had problems after installing firmware 1.0.5na I went out one evening after dark and everything suddenly burst into life. I would have thought that daytime would be better, but perhaps it prefers lower light levels. Sorry I can't help you more.
@@PhilUKNet its okay, thanks for the help! Appreciate it..
Oh and one more thing, when it has successfully calibrated, if the device is turned off (which will be the case when you turn parking surveillance mode on, since it swith to that mode when you turn off your car, right?), and at the next day, when it's turned on again, will it recalibrate again??
If yes, its gonna be super frustrating.. I mean you took 5 days to recalibrate...meaning you're gonna need like another 5 days again..? 😅
@@allstarsss1 Fortunately, it doesn't need recalibrating every time! If you disconnect the GPS module and the reattach it you need to recalibrate. After firmware updates it needs to reclibrate, but just turning it on and off normally doesn't require recalibration. I hope you get the problem sorted out soon
@@PhilUKNet I see! Great news there, thanks
@@allstarsss1 It would be a nightmare if you had to recalibrate every time you turned the camera on!
Hi, the gps module permits to see the coordenates and speed?
With firmware 1.0.5na you can only see coordinates and speed when you play videos on the dash cam itself. I believe later firmware versions record this information on to the video, but I have been unable to update the firmware beyond 1.0.5na.
@@PhilUKNet thanks!
@@CONDEBRAULIO My pleasure!
Hello ... Why I don't see ADAS option on my phone and I do have gps
I'm not sure. Is the GPS module seated correctly? Just try removing it and then reseating the connection.
Hello I just bought a new 70 my pro dashcam but the description of what is included in the box is more self here we are not responsible there we are not responsible that so things to state there is nothing at all nothing is almost nothing about how you have to set how you have to do everything and I would like to hear from you the parking option parking monitoring of the car 'but how you should set me actually because I tried within 15 minutes the battery is empty how does it go 24 hours guard the car I want something from you
The paper user instructions supplied with the camera say very little. There is better information at the following link: help.70mai.asia/278.html
The manufacturer will be obliged to have lots of legal disclaimers otherwise people will be trying to sue after an accident saying that the ADAS didn't work or something.
The internal battery is only small and will only provide about 10-15 minutes of recording time. After enabling parking surveillance mode in the menu turn the dash cam off. While it is monitoring without recording it won't use a lot of power and when it detects a collision it will record for 90 seconds. It should therefore be able to last more than 24 hours provided there aren't many collisions.
You can connect the unit to a power source that is live when the ignition is off or connect it directly to the car battery to extend the amount of time the unit will work in parking surveillance mode.
You should be able to find more information at the link I provided above. Hope this helps.
What?
Hope you seen this comment, i am going to buy it soon but just wondering why isn't show that your speed on the screen?
Annoying, isn't it? You can only see speed and coordinates when videos are played back on the dash cam, which isn't much use. They could add this feature with a firmware update, but they never did. You do get this information on the new 70Mai 4k dash cam and someone told me you also get it on the 70Mai Lite, but not the Pro. Why? I don't know. It's the manufacturer's decision.
@@PhilUKNet definitely, its very silly that it doesn't show, and very necessary because on uk roads we got lots of mobile speed camera. I always want to check if i over the speed at the end of the journey just incase.
@@Lasmanit I agree. If I was involved in an accident that wasn't my fault I would want to give the police and insurance video evidence and I would want speed shown in the recorded video. I'm sure this can be implemented with a firmware change but, as I say, 70mai never did it for the Pro. The new 70mai 4k cam has the feature but that model doesn't have voice control, which I find really useful with the Pro. 70mai gets close with a lot of things, but never quite delivers the complete package.
so ADAS System doesn’t work without GPS?its correct?
That's correct.
ADAS works with GLONASS?
That means. Always to turn on wifi right?
I agree with you about how dangerous in the road in Thailand.
อันตรายมาก
is there a way for the voice to just be a beep or something??
Unfortunately not. Other people have asked similar questions. It would be nice if 70mai provided a few more options, but they don't.
excellent video, thanks
Thanks for your comment!
Hi, can ADAS feature working without GPS module installed?
No. ADAS needs the GPS module.
@@PhilUKNet thanks for reply, the seller from ebay told me the ADAS can work without GPS module installed I don't quite believe that that's why I sort of checking with you first.
@@py8551 Not true! People were disappointed with the GPS module at first because it didn't show speed or coordinates as expected. The ONLY purpose of the GPS was to enable ADAS. ADAS won't work without it.
is that all it does? got one installed bought 70mai with GPS already and hoped to get all the features it apparently doesn't have
That's all it did at first, however they added some more features in firmware upgrades. 1.0.5na added speed and coordinates to videos, but only when viewed on the dash cam. Someone wrote to tell me that after 1.0.6na he now has this information on recorded videos, but I don't. Maybe he is using another 70Mai model to me? So yes, a little disappointing.
@@PhilUKNet after watching you last night, i have checked my firmware and it showed 1.05na. I then looked at the recorded videos in my album and found that all of them got coordinates and the speed stamps, which is what I wanted. I don't remember updating the firmware, so it must have come this way out of the box and I bought it from amazon literally a week ago. I have then enabled adas and it finished calibrating literally in a minute. Pretty annoying thing i must say, as it wouldn't shut up while I was moving along with the traffic on the way home. I also couldn't get "lane departure" triggered even when I was changing lanes at the speed of 90kmh+. Maybe will try on the highway. Thanks for explaining the features so clearly.
@@crosstheredlineagain Thanks for your comment, but this has confused me even more. Can you tell me the exact model of your dash cam? Is it the 70mai Pro or is it the 70mai Lite? I have the 70mai Pro and photos I've seen of the 70mai Lite look very similar, apart from the Lite having a bronze coloured lens. I'm further confused that you have this with 1.0.5na because the person who told me about speed and coordinates recorded to video only got that feature when he upgraded to 1.0.6na. I have 1.0.6na, but I don't have this information in the recorded video. Why can other people see this with 1.0.6na when I can't? Why can you see it with 1.0.5na?
Can i trace my route from my pc with this module ?
As far as I'm aware, no.
“Thailand, the roads are the second most dangerous in the world”
Me: Couldn’t agree more
There are lots of good things in Thailand, but sadly road safety isn't one of them. The worst times are New Year and Songkran, but it isn't a lot better at other times. คุณเป็นคนไทยรู้แล้ว!

how do i calibrate 70mai pro dash cam in town
Provided that you drive at a speed in excess of 20 km/h (which we all do most of the time - even in town), that there is good light, and there are clear road markings, it 'should' calibrate within approximately 5-8 minutes. However, I've had very inconsistent results. Earlier this year, after installing firmware version 1.0.5na, I needed to recalibrate and it took 4 days! On other occasions it has calibrated almost immediately. On some occasions it has failed calibration repeatedly, but the ADAS starts giving me warnings as if it has calibrated successfully. When I tried for 4 days I drove up and down a road that had just had new lines painted and the light was excellent, however, it refused to calibrate. I don't know why. It can be very frustrating, but just keep trying. And obviously, you need to follow the instructions regarding aligning the camera properly. If it won't calibrate you could try adjusting the angle of the camera slightly.
gps module is installed, still can't turn on adas function. How can I fix that. Thanks
If you can't enable ADAS it's probably because the dash cam can't detect the GPS module. Try reseating the GPS module by sliding the connection back and forth a few times. If it still doesn't work and you are sure the connection is good there could be a fault with the GPS module.
@@PhilUKNet finally I've done well. Thanks alot
@@vanduc9554 Great stuff! Thanks for letting me know. That connection between the dash cam and GPS module isn't very solid and it comes loose easily. It's something to watch out for.
@@PhilUKNet this is my problem. lose connection with gps module thats ehy i consider upgrading to a500
Does adas needs constant internet connection ??
No, it just uses the GPS satellites.
Olá boa noite legal seu vídeos
Obrigado!
With the new update in 70 mai app you can see the speed
Thanks for letting me know about this update. Just to clarify what you mean, the speed is now displayed in live view, is it? I just tried to update my firmware, but it told me that I already had the latest version. From comments I've received I know that other people have had this problem. I will see if I can fix this so that I can see the latest change.
Update: I can't upgrade my firmware. I've tried clearing the app cache, deleting and reinstalling the app, and resetting the dashcam to factory settings. I'm still at 1.0.5na and can't see the latest update that you refer to.
One possible problem is that when installing or trying to update the app it says that the latest version isn't compatible with my device (an iPhone) and it installs the last compatible version. Are you using iOS or Android? If you are using Android this might explain my problem with iOS. Can you also give me the version number of this latest firmware update?
@@PhilUKNet I am using Android. The last version for the app is 1.2.0. You must download the new version in telephone and after that to push in the camera. The speed and GPS coordonate are shown only when you open a video and see with camera app on telephone.
@@danstefan6161 I know how to do the firmware updates, but it just won't work for me. I tried for about an hour today. The fact that it is telling me the latest app version isn't compatible with my device suggests it may be a problem with iOS. It won't allow me to download the latest version (1.2.0), but instead downloads the last compatible version - 1.0.5na. Unfortunately, I don't have an Android phone to try it with. The speed and GPS coordinates in the video are where I want to see them so this sounds like a very useful update. Either I will have to get an Android phone or wait for them to fix the iOS version. Thanks for this information.
Night vision sucks in the video..plates not visible..is it really so ?
It depends on distance. Also, bear in mind that I had the resolution set to 720p. It can record up to 1944p with the H.265 codec. If this is really important for you it would be better to use a high resolution.
lol i do agreed.
i'm Thailand myself, and i can tell you that no motion detect or a.i. can survive "thai's mischief driving behavior."
especially motocycle they most cut-lane, reverse lane and many more.
as for GPS module, it is seems like 'processing power add-on' module to me. since all they do is like motion detect stuff. which is somehow GPS misleaded.
It's a shame. There are many good things about Thailand, but driving isn't one of them. In fact, it's probably the worst thing about living in the country.
Many people are disappointed with the GPS module. I just wish it would record speed and coordinates to video. I'm sure they could do this with a firmware update. Thanks for your comment! ขอบคุณครับ

Mate my calibration fails pls make a calibration video
I'd make one if I knew how to fix calibration problems, but I'm currently having problems that I don't know how to fix. If I get any insights I'll do a video!
I was expecting it to record the speed .... Damn !
I was expecting 70mai to release a firmware update at some stage to add this information to the video, but they never did. What they really want is for people to buy their later cameras that do record this information to video. There are some hacked firmware versions available that add this feature, but it means having a non-standard camera. I was very disappointed with 70mai over this matter.
@@PhilUKNet thank you so much for this details - I will looking for these hacked firmwares and follow with it - I'm disapointed with the camera not recording it 2
Does the ADAS detect something else other than a car? For example a human or an animal crossing on the road?
In my experience, no. I often pass cows walking in the road and no warning. The ADAS has only ever warned me about cars ahead.
Hell no, that constant ADAS warnings would drive me nuts. So I bought two without ADAS.
I agree, it's slightly annoying that every time you change lane or get close to another car you get a warning. When the only GPS function was to enable ADAS it wasn't really worth it. After some firmware updates the GPS now shows coordinates and speed, although I have been unable to test the latest firmware version. Therefore, the GPS module is more useful now and you can simply turn off ADAS if you don't want the warnings.
How much is it in US$ ?
ALI Express has prices from $60 - $83.
Mate now it shows the speed and cordinated after todays update
I still haven't been able to calibrate since updating the firmware. This is day 3 and all I get is 'Calibration failed.'
@@PhilUKNet got my 70maipro yesterday,but until now I cant calibrate correctly its adas..maybe I work in middle east where lane markers are botts dot??
@@bedloop240 I made another video about the 1.0.5na firmware update recently. After updating the firmware it took 5 days to calibrate! I tried dozens of times and it failed every time. Eventually I gave up, but then - suddenly - it told me that calibration had passed without actually doing the calibration. Very frustrating. Other people have said that calibration isn't a problem so I don't know what the problem is. The manufacturer says that you have to drive at a speed in excess of 20 km/h in good light and that there must be clear lane markings. I live in Thailand where the lane markings aren't always very good, so that is possibly the reason. I'm afraid that I don't know what to suggest, but you can at least be assured that you're not the only person with this problem!
Will it work in India?
Sudipta Bej It will work anywhere!
Yes it works kindly view my channel
th-cam.com/channels/HFDAlz2gSv5pAZw0QXzIfw.html
Can the alerts be changed? Just hate the voice, maybe a beep
Unfortunately, not, although they could change this with a firmware update. I admit, the voice for ADAS warnings does get slightly irritating.
It shows coordinates gps and speed
Only with firmware 1.0.5na and only when videos are viewed on the dash cam.
Does it get annoying in the long run to listen to it speak?
It can do, and it depends on how you drive. On twisty roads, I don't stay rigidly in one lane. It gets a bit annoying when it keeps telling me about a lane departure. My wife has a habit of driving too close to the vehicle ahead. I turned on her ADAS, and it constantly warned her about driving too close. It annoyed her, but it was a good thing because driving too close is dangerous. So yes, it can be annoying, but it might be your fault.
Ever been in Belgium? Well if u can drive here than you can drive everywhere in the world...crazy furious drivers on our roads
As for myself i prefer to drive my car in Thailand... it feels more safe... strange isn't it? Ps.. I bought me the same dashcam ;-)

@@admin.ChristianoGaio Here is your question translated: "I upgraded to version 1.0.5 and was fine showing the longitude and latitude data in the video, now she updated it again to 1.0.9 and no longer shows this data and the GPS stops being recognized by the camera , how to downgrade?
If there is where I download the firmware 1.0.5?"
Firstly, I am confused. I'm currently using 1.0.6na and I DON'T have longitude and latitude in the video. Quite a few other people have said the same thing. I am therefore confused as to why you can see this information in the video with 1.0.5. Is your version 1.0.5na (North America) or another version for another geography? There are several versions, ie, ru for Russia, eu for Europe, etc.
Secondly, I'm afraid that I don't know how to downgrade the software. The firmware update process only allows you to upgrade to later levels. There are no options to revert to a previous level.
Thirdly, the app on my phone has just started telling me that 1.0.9na is available. I was going to update the firmware from 1.0.6na, but after your comment I am now reluctant to do so in case it introduces problems that weren't there before.
I'm sorry I can't help. As I've said on my videos many times, I quite like the basic features of this dash cam but I've had lots of problems with the firmware update process. I think they have made it too complicated by having several versions for different geographies. 70mai also produces several products that are all supported with the same app. The firmware update process is a mess.
