After previously reviewing DDPAI's current flagship offering, the Z90 Master, we return again with the Z50 Pro. This is DDPAI playing at the low-end of the dashcam market, which has quickly moved to having true 4K solutions. The front sensor is a GalaxyCore GC8613 4K sensor, with the rear...

When comparing dashcams, you'll often see specifications such as F1.55, F1.8 or F2.0. But what does that number actually tell us about the footage? The short version: A smaller F-number means a larger aperture, allowing more light to reach the image sensor. So: F1.55 - F1.8 - F2.0 Larger...

One of the most common issues reported by dashcam users is an "SD card error" or "Please format SD card" message. In many cases, the dash cam itself isn't the problem—the memory card has simply reached the end of its usable life. Unlike phones or digital cameras, dash cams continuously record...

A surprising number of dashcam video quality issues… aren’t caused by the dashcam itself. They’re caused by its mounting location. Here are some common mistakes to avoid when installing a dashcam for the first time:

A lot of people buy a dash cam and then immediately wonder:“What SD card should I get? Just pick any of them?” Prioritise “write speed” and “durability”. Don't just focus on the brand or capacity. What actually matters You’ll usually see labels like: U1 / U3 (speed class) A1 / A2 (performance...

Went on a long drive 2 hrs ish one way with 5 dashcams attached to my cars windscreen. My cars windscreen is Camry size so it got crowded. Ideally i would have had 5 cameras watching the sunset but 2 of the cameras are also configured for parking so over a period of time the videos were...

It's the tail-end of 2025 and we are back again with the latest of 70mai's releases, the 4K M800. After the stellar releases earlier this year of both the 4K T800 and 4K Omni, the M800 can be considered the younger brother to those dashcam models. This is a two-channel (screen-less!)...

I recently acquired the 70mai A800SE dashcam, a model boasting front-facing 4K HD recording with HDR. I'd long been torn between opting for the flagship model or an entry-level variant. Today, I'll share my initial impression.

Hi all. Bit of a strange one, I am looking to purchase one of the dashcams that has the style of the one in the photo - green text and lower resolution. I know they sold in Russia and China a lot, but I am having difficulty sourcing any that I can purchase here in the UK. I would pay for...

Hi everyone, I have posted this on Reddit. But I am making my rounds. But I am trying to wire my dashcam for my 2015 Lincoln MKZ. I am running into some issues. Mainly tapping into fuses. It appears that Lincoln and Ford have Retained Accessory Power (RAP), which means that some fuses remain...
