Couple of days ago, I was moving my PC to a smaller case. From O11D EVO RGB to SUP01.
When I took all the parts out, I've noticed some liquids around 2 fans of the AIO. with further inspection, the liquid smells Glycol.
I'm lucky to have my Astral in the upright position on the right side of the case.
Why 70mai?
70mai is an industry-leading auto intelligence company, that are specialized in automotive dash cams. Their products and the after sales service are among the best if not the best. From the innovation in dash cams fields to the products range that suites almost every needs.
A900 Series
70mai is going all in with their new flagship models that are just introduced lately which is the A900 series. they packed it with the best and as a start, we got the A900.
A900 Dual 4K HDR
I'm not an expert and know all the available dash cams on the market but this model is the best that can do 4K HDR for both the front and rear. What makes this model unique is the new small design and large aperture of f/1.55 which helps with night time videos. It might not have Sony STARVIS sensors but that's intentional to bring the best feature to an affordable price point. With their latest exclusive advanced in technology in different lighting conditions. The field of view is 140° for front and rear and can do 30FPS front and rear too.
It have a 3.18 inch screen, built in GPS and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), multilingual voice control, Wi-Fi 6 for blazing fast file transfer, and support a max of 512GB microSD card. Built in a supercapacitor that replaces traditional battery for safer and stable operation in high heat environments. The purpose of having that is for the dash cam to have enough power to secure and finish the video file during sudden power loss. All that packed in a really compact body that can be easily mounted behind your rear view mirror if you wanted.
Image Quality
Don't let it's price fools you for a bit. 70mai packed a serious processing power combined with their latest technology.
One cool feature is that you can schedule the activation of HDR based on time. You can set it off during the day and on during the night.
Evidence
During accident, video of the accident is not enough without what really happened before that for the full story. 70mai gives you the option to include the previous video of what happened before the accident (Enhanced buffered emergency recording). it ranges from 70 seconds up to 190 seconds that can be adjusted in the app.
While parking, A900 will be your vehicle guardian. It can detect any collision by it's G-sensor and save 30 seconds videos. you'll be notified with voice alert the next time you start your vehicle.
A nice feature during parking is Time-Laps recording. It'll do 1FPS and can compress 15 minutes of recording into 1 minute only. Saving memory while allowing you to review hours in seconds.
As a note, all parking feature requires 70mai hardwire kit.
Personal Opinion
I'll start with the price compared to all the feature and quality, it's an excellent choice. It comes with everything needed for basic operation and the installation was straight forward. The mobile app is easy to use and got every control you need. Video quality is not the top but it's way ahead of a lot of cheap 4K dash cams. And don't forget that this is 4K for both front and rear. The software do sharpen license plates to make it more readable. HDR helps a lot in challenging lighting conditions. 70mai Night Owl Vision really makes night videos looks clear enough. G Sensor sensitivity settings is good and can be adjusted to match your needs. I couldn't test other features that requires 4G service so I might do another review for that particular services options.
Did anybody noticed that empty plug on the WireView ?
It's the same plug that a lot of devices used for USB cable.
