Yes it is the Voifo A129 Duo that I got for some $155 from US back in 2019 but only 4 months back we got an opportunity to install in my brother's car as we owned city at that time and brother wanted to sell and buy a corolla.

Now I have booked my own car and absolutely need a dashcam to be installed asap after delivery. The A129 Duo costs 18K around in India while the 70mai dual channel costs less than 10K.
I will mostly be getting the 70mai as it seems to be good enough as we can see from all the people talking in this thread.

In recent times there has been a lot of hostility towards riders (especially) and drivers using dashcams, from Kerala MVD authorities. I don't know why, but I have heard a lot of first hand incidents from my friends who have said, facing irate cops asking about dashcams.

Hope common sense prevails end of the day...
