70mai A810 Lite – Preview Review (Initial Findings)​

28/04/2026 (preliminary)

---

Overview​

The 70mai A810 Lite positions itself as an entry-level 4K dashcam with dual-channel capability, I think it has Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and a compact form factor. It sits below the A810 in the line up noting that it is completely a different shape and appears to target users wanting 4K recording without stepping into premium pricing.
This is not a full review—only early observations from initial setup and testing. A more detailed, test-driven evaluation will follow.

The screen has a ratio of 2.54:1 which is wide.
It is wider than standard cinematic film 2.39:1 and even wider than "Ultrawide" desktop monitors 2.33:1. This format is typically seen in specialized panoramic photography or extra-wide digital signage.
Having said all of that it is not a problem it just isn't 3.18 inches and more like approx 2.79 inches.

Initial Technical Observations​

Early testing shows some notable behaviours:

• Front camera drops to 24 FPS in dual-channel mode
• Rear camera operates at 25 FPS (fixed)
• Front returns to 30 FPS in single-channel mode

This creates an unusual mix of frame rates:

• 24 FPS (front, dual mode)
• 25 FPS (rear) Yes I know that does seem odd.

That mismatch is worth further investigation, particularly in regions using 50 Hz lighting.

---

Bitrate (Measured)​

• Front: ~29 Mb/s These figure are from the latest update in firmware
• Rear: ~10 Mb/s

These figures place the unit in a moderate compression range for a 4K + 1080p system.

---

Sensor Transparency​

One of the more noticeable omissions:

• I don't have any information on the image sensor and didn't find any in the official material​

For a camera marketed as 4K, this raises questions such as:

• sensor class and size
• native resolution vs processing pipeline
• HDR implementation method

At this stage, no assumptions are made but a lack of disclosure is worth noting. I have asked my 70mai contact for technical information.

---

Design & First Impressions​

• Compact and tidy form factor
• Button design integrated into the frame. I think this may be for two reason.
  • Reduce costs
  • Increase airflow
  • 
• Speaker placement is in the front which is unconventional but functional
• Overall build feels purposefully simple. I see it as a clever design and nothing I have seen before.

---

Power & Accessories​

• Supplied cigarette lighter adapter comes with only 1 port. It could be a problem for some if they also intend to charge their phone on the cigarette socket.
  • 

This is a questionable design choice:

• prevents simultaneous device charging
• may push users toward third-party splitters
  • which introduces the risk of cheap low quaility unit which could affect reliability

---

Other Observations / Questions Raised​

• Marketing of “4K” while operating at 24 FPS in dual modemay not meet all user expectations
  • It has been discussed on DCT what is considered true 4K. Does this meet that
• Why so many 1K version for the rear camera? RC21 create ecosystem ambiguity

---

Early Positioning​

At this stage, the A810 Lite appears to be:

• a feature rich low cost 4K offering. (Note I don't now the sale price at this point)
• To achieve this they have some engineering trade off like:
  • frame rate handling
  • Buttons are part of the external frame

Next Steps (Full Review to Follow)​

Preliminary Take​

The A810 Lite shows promise as a compact dual-channel system, but early signs suggest it is a low cost build unit with unknown image sensors.
A deeper analysis will determine whether these trade-offs materially affect real-world performance.

The image sensor is the same as in the A800SE (GC8613), so I don't see much difference between it and the A800SE-4G....
(It feels like the A800SE-4G is a prototype of the A810 Lite. My guess.)
The price on aliexpress in the 70mai official store = $63-$70

I have one as well. I just received it last week. I haven't had time to do any real testing yet. I'm looking forward to what your findings are for this dash camera.

Thanks for heads up.

On further testing when the watermark option is on it shows GC8613. It doesn't say it is a sensor lol.

Your price is in USD I'm guessing, in AUD on AliExpress it's $153 as supplied to me.

A screen shot with the watermark enabled.

Very clear image with impressive low light.
The image is softer than an up market sensor but for the price it may suit some customers.

Note the information it supplies.

70mai Trade mark colour enhancement product - would be a great spot to allow Text to be added by the Customer e.g. Number plate | Drivers name | Firmware version

Yes, so do I. Haven't had a chance to do testing due to my overseas travel commitments but shall share thoughts soon.

This 'watermark', is that what 70mai is actually calling it? I don't own the product, so I am curious, as the watermarks I am used to are embossed or embedded on the video image or print, and are slightly visible. I suspect that is where most people would look to find a watermark.

I agree. A watermark is usually an image or text all over the page usually with opacity lower so it doesn't interfere completely with the text/image on the page.

In 70mai's case however the footer they call a Master Watermark
