.

I had checked few reviews of these camera's on Youtube. Night Time recording was decent but not as great as dash cams with Sony Starvis 2 processor.

Having said that, dash cams with Starvis 2 are priced out of my budget and thus I am considering the ones I mentioned in my earlier post.

Out of these, I have decided to go ahead with RedTiger FN7T and have ordered same from Amazon. My SA was kind enough and has agreed to install it at dealership. Thus, will be getting that installed during upcoming week.

Can help share what was the deciding factor ? Glad to know your SA was helpful in this regard. Mine bluntly denied my request stating they would not install any 3rd party accessories.
Please also share your post installation pictures and review

I will take pictures during installation. One thing to clarify is I am not hardwiring dash cam because of warranty concerns and not in dire need of parking surveillance as parking spots in my society has adequate security and camera's. Thus I am going ahead with 12 V socket connection for dash cam at least for now.

Regarding deciding factors, when I looked at reviews for DDPAI N5 Dual and Redtiger F7N online as well as some you tube videos, I personally felt these are at part with each other. I was looking at 4K dash cam for front and front & rear resolution for both appeared to be at par.
N5 also has internal 32 GB eMMC storage which I did not see in Redtiger cam.
However I thought Redtiger has advantage of built in screen while N5 doesn't.

Based on my experience with 2 dash cams in US, I preferred dash cam having built in screen and so decided on F7N. Also considering F7N and F7NT had marginal difference in price (at time of purchase, it was around Rs. 700/- but that gap has increased a bit now), I opted for F7NT.

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.

Yeah I have got the CPL filter as well, and got Sandisk Extreme 256GB.

A cable from rear dashcam needs to be connected to front one. So it is routed from the front the front dashcam itself.

A couple of pics for your reference:

Thanks. I meant to ask, is the Cable from Front to Rear Dashcam routed through the A/B Pillar at the top, which also houses the Airbags or is it via the Floor?

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.

Hello Himanshu,

Which Dashcam did you install in your XUV 700 ? Mine is XUV 700 AX5, which has only USB A in the front and a 12V power socket in the 3rd row.

I am yet to install that ,trying to get a lead on choice of model and a trusted installer.

Hey all,

I have just bought a Kia Seltos X-Line and now after a front+rear dashcam. I have been strictly told by one of the Kia dealers to not hardwire the dashcam as it can result in a warranty dispute (by Kia) and even an insurance dispute as they can save that you have not used an OEM product and that is the cause of the problem.

They suggested going for a 12V socket to get the power, not even the OBD kit.

I was thinking of going for a hardwired kit to have parking assist monitoring :( and now a little scared.

Don't they all say that? As far as I know, as long as you don't splice existing wires, you're fine. My Isuzu dealer told me I can cut any wires and connect any accessory I want, and that won't affect the warranty.

I don't think insurance people will check for non OEM additions during a claim either.

Guys, I'm looking for a dash cam and have following requirements.

1. It should run on Powerbank.
2. It should be capable of 24hrs continuous recording.

Any suggestions?

I wanted to prebook the 4k Dashcam from Woodman for my Honda City
Is it worth to go ahead or any other dashcam for sedans?

I am looking to buy a dashcam for my Hyundai Creta SX 1.5 MPi 2022. It is my first time ever buying a dashcam. I have almost made up my mind to buy either the 2CH or 3CH version of the Viofo A229 Pro. I will be hardwiring the camera with the Type-C HK4 kit available from Viofo.

I need some suggestions for a compatible memory card. Looking to get a 512 GB card. Checked out the Viofo 512 GB card on their website and it seems like the most optimal choice as it comes recommend by the company as well(obviously).
I messaged Viofo customer care on WhatsApp to confirm the compatibility of the card with the camera and they informed that it is fully compatible.
But to my complete surprise, the person also suggested the amazon basics 512Gb Microsdxc Memory Card with Full Size Adapter, 100Mb/S, U3. They informed that another customer has been using this card without any issues and it supports 4K recordings as well and is compatible with the camera. They are taking assurance for the amazonBasics card and they mentioned they will buy it back from me at full price if I face any issues. I have attached a screenshot of the product listing of the card in question.

This offer really feels tempting as the Viofo card is ₹7999 right now compared to the amazonBasics card at ₹2999.
Do note that this "assurance" is not mentioned anywhere on their website and they only communicated this to me over WhatsApp.
Should I pull the trigger and go with the amazonBasics card or stick to the Viofo one?

Any suggestions and feedbacks from fellow BHPians are highly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

Anyone can give pointers as to quality /performance of Blaupunkt 4.5 FHD dashcam?
I'm seeing a lot of negative comments about it on Amazon & Flipkart.

My dash camera Ddpai mini went very bright and stopped recording afterwards. It is also not showing up in wifi list. It however turns on when I start the car. There is no hard working. Anyone has been through same problem? I attached 2 frames from video with 2 3 seconds difference. In one its proper, next one it went white.
