70mai A800 4K dashcam

[Jeremy Wong]

is that an OEM Honda camera or aftermarket?

Using a dashcam to do reversing camera work, to me it is like hiring a plumber to install your new kitchen, which you would want a carpenter to do.
When i get into a proper reversing camera myself, i still think i would mount it on the inside of my rear window as it is on the flat rear end of my car, but if need be i am also open to drilling holes in my metal or plastic.
My biggest problem is where to mount a LCD screen, perhaps it would be best to get a new headunit and make use of its 7" screen.

Nowadays a lot of Android HU which can use with a reverse camera.

yes also in my 7 year old win CE headunit, but touch screen stopped working years ago so it is rare i turn it on.

Looks like the lens aim changes through a solenoid or stepper motor- moving parts wear out and get out of sorts more easily than fixed parts do, so to me this looks like an answer to an already well-answered question With their differing purposes a dashcam and a reversing cam will always do best as separate devices, and today's reversing cams have plenty of vertical FOV to not need any in-use adjustment.

It's less 480p if not mistaken. But it does its job as a reverse camera.

Do any of you have the automatic restart issue?

Do you mean random restarts?
I haven’t had any restarts when driving so far.

I did when I had a different hardwire kit. Their firmware update forced me to use their kit. Smh

the EVO+ dont work, i had the same exact card, and ran into the same parking mode problem.
the newer EVO PLUS, and the Amazon rebranded EVO SELECT will work.

The one that gave me issue is this:

I read that the EVO PLUS and EVO SELECT is the same exact card, so i went with whichever cheaper.

Before a800 i had Viofo a129 duo which was very sensitive in terms of what cards you are using and this one was found as one most reliable ones - the high endurance which is dedicated for dashcams and home security cameras.

I'm using it currently in a800 without any problems or issues.

Just got mine today straight from 70mai. Kind of not impress with the video quality. For it being 4k it is kind of grainy and blurry. Sticking with it anyways. Does anyone knows where I can download the latest firmwares for this dashcam? Mine shipped with a firmware from November 2020.

Just install in your smartphone the App from 70mai and you'll find firmware update. But first, RTFM!

I read the manual and was aware of the app feature, I failed to express myself initially. I was more looking for unreleased or custom firmwares. Thanks for the info.
