70maiDash Cam M310, Dash Camera for Cars 1296P QHD, Smart Dash Cam Front Built in WiFi, 130° Wide-Angle FOV, WDR, Night Vision, iOS/Android Mobile App, Loop Recording, Parking Monitor, Time-Lapse

I tried several dash cams before deciding on the 70mai M310. The M310 is easy to install. The setup was simple and painless. The images are clear and sharp. Operation is a breeze, especially since most of it is automatic - set it and forget it until you need to download an image. I especially like that the adjustment on the mount can be locked in place so I don’t have worry about the camera becoming misaligned if it is touched while cleaning the inside of my windshield. I was almost a victim of the insurance scam where the guy cuts you off and stops short so you’ll hit him. I was lucky and had witnesses. (The guy was eventually arrested.) The M310 is a great value and will be my witness if it ever happens again. And, customer support actually responds to you in a timely manner.

I found this 70mai dash camera is a fantastic and compact addition to my vehicle. Setup is easy, and the user-friendly app provides seamless access to clear, high-quality footage, both day and night. This dash cam comes with necessary features like loop recording and the G-sensor, allows voice command to capture picture or videos. I will say it's a reliable and effective dash cam and an excellent choice with out breaking the bank.

App was very easy to set up connection to the phone, which is a nice plus. Also automatically syncs time on camera once connected.Under bright sunny day, the camera takes sharp clear videos, capturing license plate easily within reasonable distance.However, in cloudy days or getting towards evening, where light is dim, the camera has difficulty capturing license plate well, especially when in motion. It would capture video well though in dimly lit conditions.Overall a great product at its price point. If all you are looking for is footage for road trips/general road conditions, you can’t beat $40 for Sony Lens sensors. For those looking to capture higher quality footage for accidents though, you may want to look at more expensive models that take 4K resolutions.

Every dash camera in the world has a limited memory. A bad dash camera might be able to store only 1 hour of video. A really nice camera might be able to store more than a few day of video. Only video-cameras in the far future can maybe store months or years of video footage.As such, even good dash cameras delete old videos to make room for new videos.Suppose you bus the camera, put the camera your car, and then you go drive around.What is the first thing, you will want to do after you've just had a car accident? Maybe write down a license plate number, call the police, etc. etc. but I mean what is the first thing you would want to do which involves THE CAMERA? Probably, tell the camera to stop deleting old videos. When you are in a car accident, you need to be able press a big red panic button to make sure recent video does not get deleted. That is not how this camera works.This dash camera will delete old video files forever and ever until you upload the video files.This camera is not customizable. This camera does what it wants to.People like you and me, cannot easily decide which videos get permanently saved.This camera has two memories:(1) memory for car accident videos(2) memory for boring video (no accidents)This dash cam (70Mai) automatically decides which videos are of you getting hit by someone else, and which are not. The camera is not super smart, so it often decides incorrectly whether you were just in a car accident or not.Here's one of many kickers: the car accident videos get deleted on a loop, just like the boring videos!If the memory runs out for the car accident video, then it will overwrite the oldest car accident with the newest.Essentially, the camera has two loops: one loop for probably important video loop; and one loop for probably boring video.The main things people will want to do with the camera are:(1) check if the camera is working/recording(2) make sure certain videos do, or do *NOT* get deleted(3) transfer videos from the camera to somewhere else.This dash cam is not designed to do that. The home page of the cellphone app has two buttons:(1) view album(2) take photo.Some features are more important than others. "Do not delete the video of the car accident I was in" is more important than taking a still picture (not a video).Right after a car accident, a still photo probably won't help as much as the video of the other person actually hitting your car.However, the button to take a still picture is the most prominent/easy-to-use button on the home screen of the cellphone app.The emergency video buffer cannot grow in size.It should start off as 0 hours of videos of car accidents.Over time, as you mark videos as "DO NOT DELETE" is should delete boring video to make room for the important video.Instead, this camera always reserves 13 gigabytes of memory for videos of car accidents.If all of your videos are boring, and the buffer of boring video is full, then your boring videos start get overwritten whether you are using the 13GB of memory for important videos or not.These engineers are lazy. They could easily make the memory for important/do not delete videos grow and shrink based on which videos were marked as "DO NOT DELETE."Instead, there is no DO NOT DELETE category at all. There is only a loop of "we think an accident occurred." The important video memory is always 13GB regardless of whether you need more memory, or less memory for important videosYou cannot use the camera without proving your email, which is weird. The camera should work and be able to talk to your cellphone, even if the camera, you, and your phone are disconnected from the rest of the internet. It is not as if the camera emails videos to you or anything like that. The email thing serves no purpose. The camera doesn't need your email. There is a password used so that random people cannot view your camera's video feed, but the password is not your email. When the cellphone app asks for your email, they are just fishing for unnecessary contact information so that they can send you junk mail.

Before using this product, I didn’t have high expectations because of its very low price. But after trying it, I was pleasantly surprised by how great the performance was. The video quality, both during the day and at night, was excellent. I was especially impressed by how clear the footage remained even when facing direct sunlight. I recommended it to my friend, and just like I said at first, he was skeptical—‘It's only 30 dollars?’ But once I showed him the recorded footage, he immediately said he would buy it. If you're looking for a small, lightweight, affordable, and high-performing dash cam, I highly recommend the 70mai Dash Cam M310.
