We’ve got a fair bit of time till self-driving cars begin rolling out, but the 70mai A800 surely gets us halfway there. If you really think about it, a self-driving car is just an automobile that operates on its own, using data from cameras and sensors around it, right? The A800 from 70mai basically sits at the halfway mark, fulfilling the ‘data from cameras and sensors’ bit. Equipped with dual-vision 4K cameras, the A800 captures the front and back of your car in stunning detail using 140° wide-angle lenses. Fitted with advanced features too, this dual-dashcam boasts of clear night-vision, and even an AI that lets you be aware of vehicles around you, how close they are, and if they’re changing lanes. Think of the A800 as an extra pair of eyes that help you drive smarter, better, and help take care of your car when you’re not around… oh yes, it works with any car. Think of the A800 as a dashcam, reverse-cam, security cam, and an AI-assisted driving experience bundled into one package. Open up this package, and you’ve got two cameras (one that mounts on the front, and one on the rear windshield) and a monitor that sits right near your central rear-view mirror. Setting up the A800 is as simple as assembling the three components in place and switching them on. Once the A800 is powered, it begins capturing everything within its 140° field of view, on both the front and back. The monitor allows you to toggle between camera displays with a simple button, while that broad field of view allows you to see what’s around you like never before. The A800 even has night-vision with 3D dynamic noise reduction, giving you clear footage no matter the time of day, and a built-in GPS chip to record your route as the cameras capture your surroundings. The A800 even works as an extra pair of eyes when you’re away from your car. It records 24/7, and comes with a collision sensor that instantly begins capturing your surroundings if anyone accidentally or intentionally tries to damage your ride. This data gets stored in an immutable ‘evidence’ folder, and can easily be accessed via 70mai’s smartphone app. When you’re inside, riding the car, the A800 works proactively to prevent collisions by using its AI to inform you if you’re too near a car, or if a car ahead of or behind you changes lanes. This Advanced Driver-Assistance System (or ADAS if you’re fancy) empowers you with a sense of awareness, taking the element of stress and surprise out of driving, keeping you mindful, present, and safe. At the end of the day, everything gets recorded and stored locally to an SD card too, and video logs can easily be accessed using the 70mai app… your insurance agent will love you, I promise. Until algorithms (and federal law) become advanced enough to allow cars to operate on their own, automobiles will always need humans behind their wheels. The 70mai A800 dashcam just gives you a sixth-sense and an extra pair of eyes while you drive, as you park, and even when your car’s sitting in a spot while you’re away. I’d call that pretty damn smart. Designer: 70mai Design (34% off). Raised over $750,000. The 70mai A800 is an in-car digital video recorder that delivers day-and-night cinema-quality (up to 4k resolution) images in dual vision. It’s equipped with ADAS (Advanced Driving Assistant System) tech and night vision that boosts your driving safety. When the vehicle is parked, the parking mode will monitor the car’s surroundings and automatically start recording if any collision is detected. Recordings are stored locally and can be viewed in-app for on-site download and instant sharing. Built around a powerful Sony IMX 415 CMOS image sensor, the A800 dashcam records 4K UHD videos with a wide-angle 140° FOV. Combined with the optional rear cam, every important detail in the front or rear of the vehicle can be recorded clearly to provide irrefutable video evidence or capture the landscape along your journey with cinema-quality video. The A800 achieves clear images even in low-light conditions using a 3D DNR (Dynamic Noise Reduction) tech, F/1.8 aperture lens and a smart algorithm that significantly reduces image noise and automatically adjusts the exposure balance. View your car’s surroundings easily an with a simple press, you can easily switch between the front and the rear views. When you start the car, A800 automatically begins recording and enables the ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance System) that will assist you while driving with lane-departure and forward collision warnings that help you avoid accidents. Uses the A800 camera to monitor the lane markings to make sure the car remains safely in the lane of travel. In case you are distracted and begin to drift, the LDW system uses and audio alarm to warn you, for a safe driving every day. A800 automatically monitors the car driving in front of you. If the vehicles get too close, too quickly, for instance in the case of a sudden stop by the leading car, A800 will warn you with an audible alarm. This system is especially useful in the stop-and-go traffic during busy commute times. After parking, the Parking Mode is automatically activated. Using a 3-axis gravity sensor, A800 can detect any hit-and-run collision and immediately begin recording to capture valuable video evidence. A800 also acts as an accurate trip computer, storing data that includes mileage, range, average speed, max speed, duration and more that can be viewed conveniently in-app. It’s great for long trips and to record the exact location of an accident if one should occur. The A800 records video on a loop and stores it locally on a Micro SD memory card (up to 128GB supported) while driving. This ensures that in the event of an accident, the video evidence will be captured and then safely secured from overwriting. To check video at any time, simply open the App to playback or download the videos free of charge. No network is necessary to connect your smartphone with A800. It seamlessly connects using its own Wi-Fi for full instant access to stored videos. The dashcam also acts as a digital camera, controlled with your phone to capture any picture or view along your route. Because it requires no special wiring, the A800 can be installed in minutes. Simply attach to the windscreen, connect to power at the vehicles 12v power point, download the 70mai app and connect with your smartphone using built-in Wi-Fi. (34% off).
