70mai 4K A810 Lite (unboxing & first impressions) (GalaxyCore GC8613, Fullhan FH8536HV200, Wi-Fi 6/GPS, 4K front, 1080p rear, HDR all channels)

[Augustus]

It's almost the middle of 2026, and we have another release in the A8xx stable, the 4K A810 Lite. This is 70mai putting their foot down and making their move in the budget segment with the budget GalaxyCore GC8613 true 4K sensor. We do still have a supercapacitor on board which is fantastic to see. The rear sensor is the RC21 model featuring an older Fullhan FH8536HV200, a model shared with other models in 70mai's line-up. The front camera's aperture has also been improved to F1.55, and Wi-Fi 6 is also present for faster data transfer speeds.

Turning once again to the box contents, we have the two-tone finish with orange lettering that has been a staple for a while now with 70mai models. Upon opening the box we have the slick black packaging, with two separate envelopes containing the required materials. Contained within is an instruction manual, electrostatic stickers for front and rear cameras, spare mounting adhesives, black plastic pry tool, 12V cigarette lighter (only a USB-A port), some adhesive mounting clips, and their respective power cablings.

First impressions fall in line with the budget positioning of this dashcam. There is a certain flimsiness to the main unit when tapping on it, but to it's credit, it is a lightweight unit. As the mounting bracket is adjustable by swivel, the lens of the front camera has no such function - but the rear RC21 camera does. There is a 3.18-inch IPS display (no touchscreen) taking up the majority of the real estate of the front camera. There are also multiple ventilation holes on both the front and rear camera sensors - with plenty of these holes available to dissipate the heat produced by the GalaxyCore 4K sensor. Field-of-view is 140 degrees for the front camera, and 130 degrees for the rear camera. All packed in a rather compact 91 x 46 x 24.4mm body, roughly similar to the dimensions of a standard credit card.

Features from previous 70mai models also make a welcome return here. Buffered emergency parking mode, Lumi Vision for parking mode to brighten very dimly-lit scenarios, time-lapse recording and battery voltage monitoring all make a return, along with support for their existing 4G parking surveillance kits, UP04/UP05. There is also support for a maximum capacity of 512GB for microSD memory cards.

Installation of the 4K A810 Lite was once again a straight-forward process, and so was it's integration with the 4G parking UP04 kit. Included firmware version was v1.0.29ww (dated 7th March 2026), out of the factory. Would like to extend my gratitude to 70mai once again for providing me with this opportunity to test-drive the 4K A810 Lite. Over the coming weeks, I'll be sharing my detailed findings with you all - stay tuned for my full review coming soon here on DashCamTalk forum.

Power Consumption testing for the 70mai 4K A810 Lite:

The 70mai 4K A810 Lite uses the existing CZCDQ01BY cigarette lighter power adapter, which has been used on previous 70mai models. It has similar power draw requirements to the ones used on other 70mai models, but the biggest difference is that there are no additional USB-C or USB-A ports. Power consumption hovers around the 3.2W-3.5W mark.

Indicator Light and Button Functions for 70mai 4K A810 Lite:

The 4K A810 Lite has an indicator light next to it's display. This indicator light blinks either blue, green or red, dependent on the functions/errors currently carried out. Blinking blue comes on when the unit is powering on, during initial setup and during formatting of the microSD memory card. Solid blue is displayed when accessing the photo/video album using the APP, and when connected to PC via USB. Whilst blinking green indicates emergency video is being recorded, and solid green means the dashcam is recording video. There is also red, but this will only turn on when there is a recording/system failure.

There is also a power button on the left-hand side of the dashcam itself, situated next to the slot for the microSD memory card. Considering the dashcam is powered by either cigarette lighter adapter, 70mai LTE parking monitoring kit, or hardwire, I do not see the utility of this button. When short single-pressing the button, the display turns off (and turns back on with another press) - long pressing turns on/off the dashcam completely.

There are four physical buttons contained under the display of the 4K A810 Lite, which aid in navigation of the dashcam menu whilst powered on. These are evidently self-explanatory, by the instructions provided on-screen for each button to navigate the menus.

Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) for the 70mai 4K A810 Lite:

The out-of-box setup experience for the 4K A810 Lite is much the same as previous 70mai models. In fact, there are less setup screens, but the addition of voice prompts recently has greatly aided in the consistency and friendliness of the setup process.

Upon connecting the APP to the 70mai 4K A810 Lite, there was one firmware update prompted to be installed. The prompted version was to firmware version v1.1.35ww and I expect there to once again be a raft of firmware updates to both smooth and improve the 4K A810 Lite.


This initial firmware update included the following improvements:

- optimise image quality in complex scenarios
- optimise the display status of the French section settings
- fixed other known issues

Bitrate Values, Wi-Fi transfer speeds and Resolution Settings for the 70mai 4K A810 Lite:

Front camera (recorded in 2160p HEVC 24fps HDR): 29.4 Mb/s
Rear camera (recorded in 1080p HEVC 25fps HDR): 10.1Mb/s
(all recorded in two-channel configuration at maximum resolution settings)
Audio: AAC format recorded at 66kb/s at 16kHz resolution

Unfortunately, it seems to cap out at 24/25fps recording in two-channel configuration for the 4K A810 Lite. This is upped to the more standard 30fps when recording in single-channel configuration only.



Wi-Fi transfer speeds (using Wi-Fi 6 on the 5GHz band): 22.2MB/s, where file size for one-minute 4K clip is ~222MB.

Voice Control on the 70mai 4K A810 Lite:

Much like other 70mai models, the 4K A810 Lite has a number of voice control keywords that are able to be utilised to control the dashcam itself.

What is new for the first time on any 70mai dashcam, is the ability to turn on/off certain keywords. See the screenshot below for all the voice commands the 4K A810 Lite is able to accept.

HDR Timer for the 70mai 4K A810 Lite:

Imagine my pleasant surprise when cycling through the 4K A810 Lite settings when I saw there is now a HDR timer function available! This has been available on competing brands models for some time now, so it is really nice to see 70mai now include this. As seen in the screenshot below, the user is able to configure the on/off times for the HDR timer; the only downside is that it is only available for the front camera.

Hopefully we will see this functionality expanded to other models in the 70mai line-up, through firmware updates.
