- 0:00 | is this the best Valu desent dash cam of
- 0:03 | 2024 superb low light image quality meet
- 0:06 | smart design and a crazy good pricing 70
- 0:09 | M latest called the
- 0:11 | a510 how is all of this possible let’s
- 0:20 | expect hi welcome here I guess it’s time
- 0:23 | for a few minutes worth of Brilliance or
- 0:25 | at least figuring out how the next
- 0:28 | attempt to make the perfect dash camera
- 0:30 | by 70 my went and which are the strong
- 0:33 | and the we sides and explore everything
- 0:35 | that really matters about it welcome to
- 0:37 | the channel great to meet you I’m the
- 0:38 | tech Mishka as usual we insect a lot of
- 0:40 | cool and interesting Tech and over here
- 0:42 | bunch of tests and everything you need
- 0:45 | to know about this dash cam we’re
- 0:47 | jumping straight to the video quality
- 0:49 | analysis most 2024 dash cams won’t let
- 0:52 | you down some of them are going to match
- 0:54 | the expectations some will impress you
- 0:57 | feels like the 70i a510 belongs to to
- 1:00 | these rare to see impressive devices
- 1:02 | nighttime performance is what really
- 1:04 | matters with most of the dash cams it’s
- 1:06 | the element which helps you to find out
- 1:08 | which of them stand out this year is
- 1:11 | among the best performing in low light
- 1:13 | cardi vrs have seen in the recent years
- 1:15 | maybe the best one in this price Niche
- 1:17 | but let me confirm this after I get to
- 1:19 | use it as a primary dash cam for a few
- 1:20 | months first 70 might have developed
- 1:22 | their own t on tuning the footage
- 1:24 | according to their Night Owl vision
- 1:26 | technology I didn’t get a clear answer
- 1:28 | whether it is based on a custom built
- 1:30 | image signal processor or relies on
- 1:32 | software and formare tuning but results
- 1:34 | are astonishing there are two major
- 1:36 | contributing factors for the good videos
- 1:38 | here the very wide aperture being F by
- 1:42 | 1.8 means that there’s a wide open lens
- 1:45 | with great light throughput and of
- 1:47 | course the use of a Sony starvis
- 1:49 | generation 2 image sensor I underline it
- 1:52 | is not a 4K one or like a 3K sensor
- 1:55 | because it records in 1944p which has
- 1:58 | its good advantages due to the pixel
- 2:00 | density in 4k the field of view for the
- 2:03 | front unit is quite wide not the widest
- 2:05 | we’ve seen with dash cams but in order
- 2:07 | to keep the distortions Intolerable
- 2:09 | levels 70 might stick to 140° fov which
- 2:12 | is even wider than what you’d get from a
- 2:14 | smartphone’s Ultra wide camera close to
- 2:18 | how wide the GoPros are the footage
- 2:20 | recorded by the rear module is a bit
- 2:22 | narrower being around
- 2:24 | 130° the rear module is very lightweight
- 2:27 | and compact has angle adjustment option
- 2:30 | and even flip options from within the
- 2:32 | app captures videos at 25 frames per
- 2:34 | second which I have tuned to 13 post
- 2:37 | production so that it doesn’t look
- 2:38 | stuttery because of the different frame
- 2:40 | rate on the entire video in daytime the
- 2:42 | 1080p resolution delivers decent quality
- 2:45 | in nighttime it is a hit or miss
- 2:48 | depending on how strong the front lights
- 2:49 | of the cars behind you
- 2:51 | are the a510 arrives in a nice and
- 2:55 | decent pack some of the most interesting
- 2:57 | specs and features are highlighted on
- 2:59 | the box but as usual we want to analyze
- 3:01 | these numbers terms and statements and
- 3:04 | get to see how and whether they really
- 3:07 | contributes to better user experience a
- 3:10 | wedge shaped front module comes out
- 3:12 | first it can work independently I mean
- 3:15 | without the rear one hosts the computing
- 3:17 | power of the dash cam and this is where
- 3:19 | you can also operate and configure the
- 3:21 | menus if needed a rear module is also
- 3:24 | included it has much more modest specs
- 3:26 | as we may find out but still something
- 3:29 | to deliver around the good quality of
- 3:30 | footage a few accessories are included
- 3:32 | as well for easy mounting and of course
- 3:34 | a user guide to help you to better
- 3:36 | understand how to get the most out of
- 3:38 | your new card DVR going through the
- 3:40 | specs feels great because there’s a Sony
- 3:43 | starvis generation 2 image sensor a
- 3:45 | powerful novatech processor video
- 3:47 | resolution which is up to about 3K the
- 3:50 | front unit has 140° field of view
- 3:53 | there’s an inbuilt GPS a 500 mah hour
- 3:56 | battery Bluetooth and Wi-Fi plus Cloud
- 3:58 | connectivity option and very convenient
- 4:00 | to use smartphone
- 4:02 | app definitely the hardware here
- 4:05 | represents a great value pack something
- 4:08 | that is unbelievably good for a price
- 4:10 | staring at close to $100 and I underline
- 4:13 | that this would be the price only for
- 4:14 | the front unit if you want to buy the
- 4:16 | rear camera and the 4G module of course
- 4:18 | the price goes a bit higher and although
- 4:22 | this is already quite a popular model I
- 4:24 | think it’s somewhat overshadowed by the
- 4:27 | a810 which involves a 4K sensor here 75
- 4:31 | do not rely on a 4K image sensor which
- 4:34 | in my opinion is a big Advantage because
- 4:37 | it has to do with the size of the image
- 4:39 | sensor the pixel density and the light
- 4:41 | reaching each individual pixel here we
- 4:45 | rely on a 5 megapixel image sensor which
- 4:47 | results into resolution 16×9 formats at
- 4:51 | about 1440p and immediately I’m showing
- 4:54 | you a side by side comparison to the
- 4:56 | dash gam which has been a primary one in
- 4:58 | my car up until now and the conclusion
- 5:01 | is that the 5 megapixel sensor here of
- 5:03 | 70 Mi easily beats the 4K recording on
- 5:08 | the right mostly thanks to the image
- 5:11 | sensor behind the lens which is
- 5:13 | belonging to the Sony staris generation
- 5:15 | 2 line specifically developed for
- 5:18 | exceptionally good low light performance
- 5:20 | with dash cameras so now we know more
- 5:23 | about the specs let me guide you through
- 5:25 | the installation process there are two
- 5:28 | path set you may take power sourcing
- 5:30 | from the car cigar lighter port or using
- 5:33 | a hardwire kit and in any of these cases
- 5:36 | you still need to mount the dash cam
- 5:38 | first better place it Opposite the
- 5:40 | driver’s seat at an area which is not
- 5:42 | going to disturb you while you’re
- 5:43 | driving use one of these folios provided
- 5:45 | in the pack just as I did you’re going
- 5:47 | to thank me later when you decide to
- 5:49 | change its location or unstick it from
- 5:51 | the glass the next step is to find a
- 5:54 | path to let the cables reach the power
- 5:56 | source and of course to mount the rear
- 5:58 | module the whole process is mostly
- 6:01 | hassle-free unless you decide to go for
- 6:03 | a hardwire kit in this scenario you’re
- 6:06 | going to need better understanding how
- 6:08 | you can reach the fuse box in the car
- 6:10 | and Link the ACC and the VCC lines a car
- 6:13 | electrician is certainly going to be
- 6:15 | helpful if you lack this kind of
- 6:16 | knowledge once you’re ready to go you
- 6:19 | might want to check the configuration as
- 6:21 | we can already notice a510 is having a
- 6:24 | 2in display plus the hardware buttons
- 6:27 | which means that configuration is
- 6:29 | possible in even without the need of a
- 6:30 | smartphone app most of these settings
- 6:32 | are well grouped easy to understand and
- 6:35 | tune in terms of resolution I’d suggest
- 6:38 | 16×9 aspect ratio because if you run 4×3
- 6:41 | it is only suitable for trucks you can
- 6:43 | still use it it’s just going to capture
- 6:45 | too much of the sky or the car’s front
- 6:48 | side for the time being I’ve kept most
- 6:50 | of the default settings and you can
- 6:52 | additionally get to adjust the exposure
- 6:55 | the bit rate a bunch of extra settings
- 6:57 | and so on for easier configuration or
- 6:59 | getting to download the recordings there
- 7:01 | also is the smartphone app just open it
- 7:04 | and it feels like you’re controlling a
- 7:06 | true DVR and it goes beyond just the
- 7:08 | files allowing you to point to a
- 7:10 | specific time frame and cut only the
- 7:13 | scenes that you really need the Roso is
- 7:16 | a map function which lets you check the
- 7:18 | details of your route and in some
- 7:20 | countries there’s an optional Cloud
- 7:22 | module whereas you can buy a 4G kit and
- 7:25 | connect with the dash cam from anywhere
- 7:27 | via the smartphone app
- 7:31 | scrolling up and down the menus and here
- 7:33 | we can activate the parking mode feature
- 7:36 | I remind you that it requires the use of
- 7:38 | a hardwire kit and there are two choices
- 7:41 | to rely on collision detection or using
- 7:44 | a timelapse function which records 2
- 7:46 | frames per second and can fit hours
- 7:48 | worth of footage within a ridiculously
- 7:51 | small file size the dash cam is smart
- 7:53 | enough to detect whether you use a
- 7:55 | hardware kit or not and notifies you
- 7:57 | once it starts the parking surveillance
- 8:01 | it’s good to know that there also are
- 8:03 | emergency recording these are protected
- 8:05 | files they can’t be deleted and you can
- 8:08 | manually trigger such using this button
- 8:10 | on top of that they’re buffered and this
- 8:13 | is going to add 5 seconds before the
- 8:15 | emergency situation a510 supports fast
- 8:19 | Bluetooth pairing so your phone is going
- 8:21 | to automatically connect to the hotspot
- 8:23 | once it is available the app is tidy
- 8:26 | with all these menus nicely grouped you
- 8:28 | can also enable ad Dash from here
- 8:31 | Advanced Driver assistance system it
- 8:33 | will warn you in case you departure the
- 8:35 | lane or in case there’s a Potential
- 8:37 | Threat or in case the car in front of
- 8:39 | you goes moving can be very helpful in
- 8:43 | the city I did mention copying the
- 8:45 | recordings so let me show you an
- 8:47 | alternative getting the micro SD card
- 8:49 | and copying those to a computer the A500
- 8:52 | and0 supports cards with capacity of up
- 8:54 | to 256 GB and note that you should use a
- 8:58 | model allowing fast riding speeds such
- 9:01 | as class 10 u3
- 9:03 | cards here’s an audio test I’m driving
- 9:06 | right now with about 65 close to 70 km/
- 9:11 | hour you can actually see the value at
- 9:13 | the lower end of the screen and this is
- 9:15 | how the internal microphone of 70 Mi
- 9:19 | a510 actually
- 9:22 | sounds what we have so far excellent
- 9:25 | performance and many superlatives about
- 9:28 | the user experience so did I find any
- 9:31 | drawbacks during testing well yeah
- 9:34 | luckily there is nothing major and
- 9:36 | firmware and sofware both have been
- 9:38 | extremely stable but I feel that 70m
- 9:41 | could add a CPL filter option kit bring
- 9:44 | in some more advanced car battery
- 9:46 | protection via a firmer update and
- 9:48 | probably think about releasing a
- 9:50 | revision with a super capacitor instead
- 9:52 | of a battery despite the excellent
- 9:54 | temperature tolerance even as it is in
- 9:57 | this particular case the car has spent
- 9:59 | the entire afternoon under the sunshine
- 10:01 | in one of the hottest days of the year
- 10:03 | no issues at
- 10:04 | all I think that in the end the message
- 10:07 | that 70 my send is very clear
- 10:10 | uncompromised quality at a price which
- 10:12 | is kind of impossible to beat this is
- 10:15 | what the
- 10:17 | a510 by 70 Mi represents and Truth is
- 10:20 | that for a bit more than $100 well
- 10:23 | obviously with the rear camera and the
- 10:25 | cloud option that’s going to cost a bit
- 10:26 | more but in 2024
- 10:30 | great low light dash camera performance
- 10:33 | at a budget friendly price with Cloud
- 10:35 | compatibility is already a reality I
- 10:39 | think it’s very easy to like the a510 a
- 10:42 | lot of great features some tiny
- 10:44 | drawbacks and probably a bit
- 10:46 | overshadowed by its bigger brother the
- 10:49 | a810 that’s everything I wanted to share
- 10:52 | with you in regards to this new dash
- 10:54 | camera in case you have questions or
- 10:55 | something you want to add from your own
