Review of the 70mai Dash Cam A510: total surveillance for your car

Today, it seems irresponsible to me to drive a car without a dash cam or dashboard camera. This type of camera, which is installed inside the vehicle, either on the windshield or in the rear, record everything that happens in front of or behind your car to have irrefutable evidence in case of accidents. Protects you from false accusations and speeds up the car insurance claim process.

If you don’t have one yet, or want to change the one you own now, let me recommend the 70mai Dash Cam A510. I have been using it in my car and I think it is wonderful because of how complete it is. It includes a front and rear camera, and you can buy a 4G module to see in real time what it is recording from your mobile. In addition, it has a mini-screen and other interesting extras that make it one of the best cameras for cars.

70mai Dash Cam A510: complete surveillance for your car, with 4G for remote monitoring

There are several models of the 70mai Dash Cam A510. We tested the “A510-1” version which, unlike the standard version, includes a rear camera in addition to the front one.. Additionally, we got a 64 GB micro SD and the 4G module called “70mai Hardwire Kit” that allows us to add mobile connectivity to the cameras. These two extras are sold by the brand separately.

Likewise, it is capable of send you the GPS location of your vehicle to easily find it in case you have forgotten where you left it or if you have been the victim of a theft.

How good is the 70mai Dash Cam A510?

I have not had any problems with this camera or its 4G module. It works as promised. Video quality with a 140° field of view is good enough to see in detail the scenes of a possible accident and prove your innocence.

Obviously, its limited resolution means that the quality of the videos is lower than that of more expensive dash cams that record in 4K, but The truth is that I cannot imagine a situation where I need more quality than what this camera already offers me.. So I’m very happy with it. Also, I liked that it continually overwrites the oldest recordings so that the micro SD never runs out of space. In the following video you can see its real quality:

It should be noted that it doesn’t look bad at night thanks to the the brand’s Night Owl Vision technology that brings out more clarity in night imagesreducing noise, balancing exposure and improving reflection control. It is true that it loses details in the dark, but it is still useful for recording incidents.
