70mai A810 Lite dash cam review

Overview

The 70mai A810 Lite is a premium dual dash cam with 4K front and 1080p rear recording, built-in GPS and the option of remote access through a separately purchased 4G kit. It ranks #3 in our list of the top 10 best-selling dash cams on Amazon UK, with a score of 8.5/10 and our Best for connected parking award. It sits behind the GKU D600 and Cievie D100 in the ranking, but is a strong fit if GPS and the option to check on your car remotely matter more to you than keeping costs down. The main caveat is that parking surveillance needs a compatible hardwire kit; the 4G features need a separate kit too.

Features and specification

The front camera records at 4K, while the rear camera records at 1080p. Both channels record simultaneously, and the 140-degree field of view is designed to capture a broad view ahead. The listing also advertises HDR night recording, voice control, emergency file locking and loop recording. These are useful features on paper, but video quality and number-plate readability can still vary with lighting, weather and speed.

Built-in GPS can record location and driving information, and 5GHz Wi-Fi allows footage to be viewed or downloaded through the app. The box includes a 64GB microSD card, while the camera supports cards up to 512GB. Optional 4G LTE remote viewing and vehicle monitoring require the separate UP04 kit. For parking mode, a compatible hardwire kit is required; the listing names UP03, UP04 and UP06. Factor in that additional hardware if you want the advertised parked-car functions, rather than assuming they work from the standard power cable alone.

What owners say

Owners commonly praise the clear footage, including at night, and say the front-and-rear setup provides useful coverage. Several describe fitting the camera and getting started with the app as straightforward, and appreciate being able to review or download clips on a phone. Some owners specifically report that the Wi-Fi connection makes accessing footage quick.

Feedback is not entirely consistent: at least one owner found number plates hard to read, despite being satisfied with the general picture. Some also describe confusing instructions or awkward parking-mode operation, so a simple setup should not be taken for granted. Check the box contents on arrival, too: while the listing specifies a 64GB card, an owner reported receiving no card.

Who should buy it

Consider the A810 Lite if you want dual-channel recording, built-in GPS and the option to add connected parking features, and are prepared to pay for the required accessories. The larger card limit and included 64GB card are practical advantages for regular drivers who want to keep more footage available.

Skip it if you want an inexpensive, plug-in-and-forget recorder, or do not want to buy and fit a compatible hardwire kit. The 4G remote features are optional rather than ready to use out of the box. For simpler recording without connected monitoring, compare other dash cams in our list before paying for features you may not use.
