70mai Dash Cam A810-2 Review: 4K HDR Dual Vision Performance Test

The 70mai Dash Cam A810-2, boasting a 4K HDR dual-vision setup, promises top-tier recording quality and advanced driver-assistance features. After weeks of rigorous testing, both on highways and city streets, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. This model, with its Starvis 2 IMX678 sensor, offers a compelling combination of features and performance at its price point, but does it live up to the hype? Let’s dive in.

The A810-2 packs a significant punch in terms of features. The standout is undoubtedly its 4K HDR recording capability, capturing incredibly detailed footage even in challenging lighting conditions. The 150° wide-angle lens ensures a comprehensive view of the road, minimizing blind spots. The built-in GPS accurately logs location data, while the ADAS system provides helpful warnings for lane departure and forward collision. The inclusion of a rear camera (RC12) enhances the overall safety and recording capabilities. The addition of parking mode (requires the UP04 Hardwire Kit, sold separately) with motion detection and time-lapse functionality provides complete peace of mind, even when your vehicle is parked.

The 3.0″ IPS display offers excellent visibility for reviewing footage directly on the device. Furthermore, the AI motion detection promises improved accuracy in triggering recordings, reducing false positives. The user-friendly interface makes setup and navigation a breeze. All these features contribute to a comprehensive and highly functional dash cam system.

In terms of performance, the A810-2 consistently delivered crisp, clear 4K video footage. Even during nighttime drives, the Starvis 2 sensor performed admirably, providing excellent low-light performance. The HDR technology effectively managed high-contrast scenes, ensuring that details weren’t lost in bright sunlight or shadows. The wide-angle lens captured a broad view of the road, which is crucial for capturing relevant details during incidents. The GPS tracking was accurate, and the ADAS warnings were timely and helpful without being overly intrusive.

The parking mode, though requiring a separate hardwire kit, functioned flawlessly during my tests. Motion detection proved reliable, and the time-lapse recording efficiently captured extended periods without filling up the memory card too quickly. Overall, the A810-2’s performance lived up to its specifications and exceeded my expectations in several aspects.

Pros:

  • Excellent 4K HDR video quality
  • Wide 150° viewing angle
  • Accurate GPS and ADAS functionality
  • Reliable motion detection in parking mode
  • User-friendly interface

Cons:

  • Parking mode requires a separate hardwire kit (UP04)
  • Slightly bulky design compared to some competitors.

The 70mai Dash Cam A810-2 is a highly capable dash cam that delivers on its promises. The combination of 4K HDR recording, advanced features like ADAS and parking mode, and reliable performance makes it a strong contender in the market. While the need for a separate hardwire kit for parking mode is a minor drawback, the overall value and performance easily outweigh this minor inconvenience. If you are looking for a top-tier dash cam with comprehensive features and excellent image quality, the 70mai A810-2 is a worthwhile investment and I highly recommend it.
