70mai S500 Mirror Dashcam REVIEW | Everything You Need To Know Before You Buy!

[@ajitsbajaj277]

You explained it beautifully.. no other video needed on youtube to know its box contents , installation process, features and video capturing capabilities.. big thumbs up.. cheers

[@traveltechyoutube]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@jithupm]

@@traveltechyoutube i have read some post saying that in real time usage the screen will shake and has blurry effect. not practical for day to day use.. pls share your opinion on this?

[@nagesharas5136]

Your production team is top-notch! The camera angles are just superb, and carefully planned to convey the exact point you need to convey. BTW using a stylus to operate the app was a superb touch: It prevents your hand from obstructing the screen. Its little touches like this that make your videos a pleasure to watch (apart from being highly educating.) The audio is crystal clear and free of road noise, although you have to shoot outdoors and get in and out of the car. Even the post-production is sublime: The editing is razor-sharp, and the app shown as split-screen leaves nothing in doubt. What may not occur to most of the viewers is the script: All your points are planned lucidly, and presented in a linear narrative. I have rarely seen such talented team in even technical presentations! 👍

[@MrRishabSharma]

Have a couple of questions, 1. Is the rear camera feed usable when reversing 2. Is it usable during summer days, there seems to be a lot of glares from sunlight

[@Micbro]

@MrRishabSharma I have my rear camera mounted inside behind the back windshield so I can have visual of the road but it should be useable while reversing if you mount it above the license plate. No glare at all on summer days. The best one I've used in terms of glare

[@User-hh3gg]

Yes it definitely can solve that problem and provide you rear view. And regarding warranty, as long as you don't cut any wire, your warranty is not void. I have shown how to install the rear camera without cutting any wire.

Hi Bro, amazing review and you earned another subscriber❤ I am purchasing s500 model and do you think CP filter is a must have accessory?

[@traveltechyoutube]

If you see the full video, you can find the answers to all your questions. I guess you didn't see the video. Nevertheless, 1. Yes it can be used as normal mirror. 2. Yes it gives reverse parking assistance with guide lines. 3. You can turn on or turn off the screen as per your requirement. It's not always on

Hi, it’s a very informative video, thanks, Can we use reverse camera features without connecting red wire to reverse tail gate (if we don’t want wire cutting n warranty void! ), so if reverse camera so require during reversing we can do it on screen touch ?

Yes, you can. Its not compulsory to connect red wire to rear tail light. You can always shift the view to rear camera using touch screen. But you wont get the reverse assist guide lines on it.

i have read some post saying that in real time usage the screen will shake and has blurry effect. not practical for day to day use.. pls share your opinion on this?

[@traveltechyoutube]

Incorrect. I have tested this camera extensively and there is no shake or blurry effect. You have to make sure that you mount the camera tightly with the given straps. Incorrect mounting will cause it to shake.

[@jithupm]

@@traveltechyoutube Thanks for your prompt response.. also, one of the shopkeeper told me during the daytime, there are reflections which will have distractions. I just want to ask you if that is a major concern, or is it manageable via some adjustment of the mirror?

[@traveltechyoutube]

I have shown this in the video, that if you align the camera towards the rear windshield, it will cause reflection on the mirror. It has a simple solution. You have to align the mirror towards the non reflective part of the car like rear seats etc, then it won't have any reflection.

[@sasank5559]

I am using this and yes shake is observed occasionally which is inconvenience for day to day use. Also reflection is observed but solution is already mentioned to adjust the mirror to non reflective or less reflected parts of car

@admin Should i install rear camera inside of car or outside of car.

The angulation required to get a proper view of the rear might not be possible with tail gate window mount. You might do a mock installation and check the view before installing permanently.

is it worthy to spend on this dashcam. what is the price of this cam? nice video. is there anything better came into market.

@@traveltechyoutube Thanks for your advise . why there is not adas features are missing even 10K products have it.

[@traveltechyoutube]

Adas features in dashcams are only gimmicky and not practical features. Proper adas requires special sensors. Dashcams only rely on visual data and can be frequently inaccurate. The adas features you mentioned in dashcams undef 10K are like that. Don't think and expect too much from it.

[@rakeshbabuvs]

Hello brother, I got a second question. As you explained I wanted the bacl cam to connect to the reverse light for revesre camera gyudelines. Can we connect without wirecut to avoid warranty?

[@traveltechyoutube]

You don't have to cut any wire. All you need to do is disconnect the reverse light wire plug, from its socket and connect the dashcam reverse signal cable wire into the same socket and put back the plug into its place. The reverse signal wire(from the dashcam) will get squeezed between the connecting terminal of the car's reverse light and it's connected socket. I have connected it the same way in my car. You can remove this wire again anytime you want. No wire cutting needed.

Hello, tried reaching you ..appreciate the work you are doing.. I need your help in understanding few things.. I have recently got woodman 2.5k dashcam with hardwire kit included in it .. The hardwire kit needs to be hardwired in the fuse box , ignition, battery and ground are the 3 connection. Question/ my understanding is when the car is parked it will take power from car Battery to run .. but I can't find an option of turning that off when cars battery drops to certain level like we have in other dashcam..so that means if I park my car for long time it will drain my battery right ? I tried connecting with woodmen support they have no clue.. please advise

[@traveltechyoutube]

I haven't tried the Woodman dashcam yet. But all hardwiring kits usually come with a control box within them, which monitors the voltage of the battery and cuts off power once the pre determined voltage is reached, for example 11.8V or 12V. Also, the app usually provides battery protection feature, but I don't know if Woodman app has it. I've tried reaching out to Woodman to get a review unit.

[@Iparbuvesz]

Putting a camera like that outside would make it prone to being knocked off or stolen. What are your thoughts on it?

[@traveltechyoutube]

Correct. The rear camera does get a screw mount. You have to install the rear camera using the provided screws which will make it difficult for anyone to just grab the camera.

[@Iparbuvesz]

@@traveltechyoutube Yes I understand, but if you can just screw it off and run away with it, if you leave the car outside for a few hours, someone creative can easily take it in seconds if I'm not mistaken.

[@traveltechyoutube]

Yes they can. And that's why if you are too concerned with it, you can install it inside. But getting the proper camera angle will be difficult as the installation position will vary with cars. You have to do a mock installation in your car to check for proper camera angle. If it works out, fix it permanently in that place.
