Could you please confirm the following:

1. Was the power source through a 12v cigarette lighter socket or hardwired?
2. Did you install it through a technician - if so, where in Hyderabad did you get this done
3. Any references/contact number?
4. What were the charges?
5. How was the workmanship?

Thank You.

See this review by Travel Tech where the quality of number plate identification is shown clearly.

Hello arnieshwartz, How is the video clarity in Nexdigitron Prime dual dashcam?
Can it read number plates well? Also how is night vision footage from this dashcam?

[abhi3284]

Are Dashcams with removable SD Card better or the ones which have eMMC Card inbuilt in the Dashcam like the Miofive? How is the Card failure rate in the eMMC one? In case it goes bad, is the Dashcam rendered useless then, if its outside the warranty period? Any pros or cons of both?

Hi -

1. The unit comes with a charger that you can plug into the 12V cigarette lighter socket. However, I wanted parking monitoring as well, and dont like wires dangling, so got the OBD2 hardwire kit.

2. It was really a pretty straightforward and no sweat DIY process. I used the plastic tool they provided and was able to route the wires through the roof liner and plastic cladding of the pillars.

I could maybe take pictures to point out the route of the wires.

The front camera unit is advertised as having 2K resolution and the video is definitely better than that from the 1080p rear camera. Plus, I believe the CPL filter for the front unit does help cut out any glare to some extent thus contributing to better clarity.

Let me look at the card and see if there's any suitable day and night footage to share w.r.t readability of number plates. I'm sure there are bound to be circumstances beyond control, like bright lights for example, that could hamper recording quality.

Food for thought. Would it be advisable if we get two single dashcams and mount them in the front and rear. They can be hardwired to the power source and incase of need of recordings, can be downloaded from the memory card.

Is this line of action absurd?

Hi fellow BHPians,

I have got a Wolfbox G840H Mirror Cam installed recently for my XUV 700. It is working perfectly as a Dashcam and also making up the absence of an auto dimming IRVM in the car. I have got it hard wired for parking monitoring.Kindly guide

(a) How the cam records while on parking mode ? Is it recording continously or on impact only?

(b) I couldn't also see any vidoes recorded while parking monitoring is on. Where can we find the recording?

Hello Folks !

I am on lookout for a 2 channel 4K Dashcam for my XUV700 at Delhi and zeroed down on two options

VIOFO A229 Plus
https://amzn.in/d/aCcMLZE

70mai A810
https://amzn.in/d/jaapzqx

Both seem to have same Starvis 2 sensor ,my desktop research is positive for both but Viofo has more fans and better rating ,though on paper 70mai A810 is a better value for money buy.

Would love to have suggestions from forum members ,my requirements within budget of 25K are

1.Required to clearly read number plates
2.Super Capacitor based
3.Parking surveillance required and clean OBD hardwiring kit is a necessity.
4.ADAS not required ,if present no issues.

Additionally ,would love to know any trusted Dealer/Installer around Delhi-NCR region.

[ssm2021]

I am on the lookout for a Starvis 2 sensor dash cam too.

The above 2 seem good only difference being that 70Mai front cam is a 4K.

Couple questions I have about front and rear dash cams:

1. The wiring passes through the side pillar which has airbag. Any chance it hinders the airbag deployment in cases of accident? Is it recommended to have such custom wiring?
2. To use the full functionality of the dash cam, we need to hardwire it to the fusebox. Does it affect the car warranty?
3. Any battery usage concerns if hard wired?

Any experience/ comments on these will be helpful. Thank you.

Guys I have a question around Dash Cam connection in 12V socket.

I am planning to get a Supercapacitor based Dash Cam and have short listed DDPAI N5 Dual and RedTiger FN7T as 2 options. I am not planning to hardwire dashcam at this moment but will be using 12v socket for connection.

My question is, with this kind of set up, does I have to set Date & Time in dash cam every time I power on my car? or date & time setting doesn't get wiped out for certain duration?

I drive a WagonR BS-III 2009 Model. Can I install the A500s dual channel setup in my car?

If it’s dashcameras.in, I guess they are legit as they were featured in one of the reliable YouTube channel, MotoWagon. Or you can try ordering from their website directly, might cost you less as well(if present).

In another thread I read about HDR being important for videos taken at night. Vantrue E2 specs says WDR, any idea if it’s the same as HDR ? Or better ?

Did you also get to see the reviews of night time driving for these two? If so , please share the details as I’m also looking for one in the market and A229 plus seems to tick the box, though they are on a higher price point.

My understanding is either the main camera has some kind of a CMOS battery or the connecting application helps in this regard. The super capacitor or the Li-Ion battery should not factor into this.

I recently bought Viofo A229 plus dual channel Dashcam for my new Seltos and got it installed from ASC itself. Got it connected to cigarette lighter socket. Attaching samples from both cameras during day and night time here, since it may help others! I absolutely loved the clarity of both cameras and can clearly read number plates during both day and night time from both cameras. Two wheeler number plates are tough to recognise during night time in rear camera. But can read it easily in front camera.

Samples below:

I spoke with Vijay earlier today and have placed an Order this same Dashcam from the Viofo website for my Seltos. Should be delivered on Monday. Have you bought CPL Filter as well? Which Memory Card have you opted for? I will most likely be going for SanDisk Extreme 256 GB.

Surprising but Good that the KIA Service Center agreed to install after market Dashcam. Different Dealers operate by their own rules. From where is the wire routed for the Rear Dashcam?
Appreciate if you could also post a couple of pics of Front and Rear Dashcam placement.
