0:00and we are back with another 70 dash cam
0:03video. Today we have the new 70 A810s,
0:08which is pretty much an update to the
0:10already well-loved A810 model we
0:12reviewed earlier in the year. The
0:14original A810 became a favorite of ours,
0:17offering reliable 4K recording, a
0:20compact design that fits neatly on most
0:22windshields, and strong nighttime
0:25performance with its Sony Starvis 2
0:27sensor, which were some amazing specs
0:29and features at a budget less than
0:3110,000 pesos. Now, we have the new
0:34A810s, which delivers some welcome
0:36updates. The question is, what actually
0:39changed, and is the upgrade worth it?
0:43Let’s get into it.
0:53Both the A810 and [music] A810s share
0:56the same core identity and fundamental
0:59features. Each one uses a 4K Sony
1:01Starvis 2 sensor for the front camera,
1:04allowing them to capture sharp and
1:06vibrant footage in both daytime and
1:08[music] nighttime scenarios. The two
1:10devices also maintain the same compact
1:12windshieldmounted form factor that
1:14doesn’t take too much space [music] and
1:16uses the same vertical swivel style
1:18mount for easy angle adjustments. We
1:21still get built-in GPS, Wi-Fi
1:23connectivity through the 70 app, HDR
1:25support, loop recording, and the ability
1:27to pair them with a 1080p rear camera
1:30for dual channel setups. For users who
1:32are already familiar with the A810, the
1:35A810s will feel instantly familiar.
1:41Now, let’s talk about the actual
1:42upgrades. The A810s introduces a
1:46slightly wider f/1.7 aperture compared
1:48to the A810’s F1.8 aperture, giving its
1:52lens a bit more light gathering
1:54capability. The front camera can now
1:56also record at 4K 30 frames per second,
1:58which adds more frames and smoothness
2:00compared to the standard A810’s 4K at 25
2:03frames per second. While the improvement
2:06isn’t dramatic in real world use, it
2:08still helps in dim environments or
2:10poorly lit streets. A more noticeable
2:12upgrade is the addition of buffered
2:14emergency recording, which captures a
2:16few minutes before and after a detected
2:18[music] incident. This is extremely
2:21useful for understanding the events
2:22leading up to collisions or traffic
2:24disputes. The A810s also steps up its
2:27parking and security [music] features.
2:29It now supports AI powered motion
2:31detection, improved time-lapse
2:33surveillance, and what 70 Mi calls
2:36parking guardian. Take note that these
2:38features are only available when used
2:40with the 4G hardwire kit. These
2:42enhancements help the A810s [music]
2:44perform far better as a 24/7 monitoring
2:47system, especially when the car is
2:49parked in public or high-risk areas. The
2:51A810s also introduces the 70mi region of
2:55interest or ROI algorithm, which is an
2:58advanced [music] proprietary imaging
2:59technology that prioritizes and enhances
3:02license plates and road signs. Not to
3:04mention, it gets real-time battery
3:06voltage monitoring now, which can be a
3:08big help for those who had trouble with
3:10the older model draining their car’s
3:11battery when in surveillance mode.
3:13Another big upgrade is the rear camera
3:16support. While the original A810 could
3:18only pair with a more basic [music]
3:201080p rear camera with HDR support, the
3:22A810s now supports a new rear camera
3:25option, utilizing the Sony IMX 662
3:28[music] sensor, which is part of the
3:30Sony Starbis 2 family. This gives the
3:32A810s noticeably better rear camera
3:35performance, especially in nighttime or
3:37low light [music] conditions compared to
3:39the non-S Starbase rear cameras offered
3:41for the A810. [music] And no, A10 users
3:45cannot just simply buy the new Starvis
3:47[music] 2 rear camera to replace their
3:48existing ones because the new one
3:50utilizes a male USB type-C [music]
3:52connector. But who knows, maybe 70 Mi
3:55can release a version of the rear camera
3:58that could. Storage capacity has also
4:01doubled with support for micro SD cards
4:03of up to 512 GB. Wireless connectivity
4:06has also improved thanks to Wi-Fi 6 and
4:09Bluetooth low energy. The standard A810
4:12could only transfer files with Wi-Fi 4
4:142.4G [music]
4:15speeds, which wasn’t necessarily slow,
4:18but not super fast either. So, this is
4:21definitely a welcomed addition. One of
4:23the biggest upgrades, and one that
4:25matters a lot in hot countries like the
4:27Philippines, is the improved internal
4:30power system. [music]
4:31Instead of the A810’s lithium battery,
4:33the A810s uses a super capacitor paired
4:37with a button cell backup. This makes
4:38the unit significantly more heat
4:40resistant, safer, and longerlasting
4:43under high temperatures. But it is worth
4:45noting that both the A810s and standard
4:48A810 are rated for the same operating
4:50temperatures of -10° C to 60°C.
4:55Lastly, the A810S now adds some voice
4:57control prompts just like what the Omni
4:59dash cam model had.
5:01>> Record video.
5:06take photo.
5:11>> Even with these upgrades, some aspects
5:13remain similar between the two. Since
5:16both dash cams use the same starvis
5:17[music] 2 sensor for the main 4K camera,
5:20their overall image quality and dynamic
5:22range stay [music] pretty close. The
5:24A810s pulls slightly ahead at night due
5:27[music] to its aperture and newer
5:29processing, but the improvement isn’t so
5:31massive. Rear camera footage stays
5:33capped [music] at 1080p resolution,
5:36although the new StarVIS 2 IMX 662
5:38sensor does improve clarity and low
5:40light performance on the A810s.
5:43And like the A810, the advanced parking
5:45mode and remote monitoring features
5:47[music] of the A810s require optional
5:50accessories, which adds to the overall
5:52cost if users choose to maximize [music]
5:54the features. So, the question is,
5:57should you upgrade? Well, if you’re
5:59already an early adopter of the 70 A810
6:03and primarily use it as a daily [music]
6:04driving dash cam without relying heavily
6:07on parking surveillance, the A810 still
6:10holds up very well. It offers 4K
6:13performance, good nighttime clarity, and
6:15a reliable feature [music] set at a
6:17competitive price. But if you’re coming
6:19from an older dash camera or none at all
6:22and you’re looking for a more nice
6:24[music] and affordable Star 2 dash
6:26camera system, we definitely recommend
6:28the 70mi A810s. [music]
6:31For pricing, the kit alone without the
6:33hardwire kit should range from 6 to
6:368,000 pesos. But upon checking online at
6:39the time of shooting, varying merchants
6:41may have different listings, [music] so
6:43take note of that. All in all, the 70mi
6:46A810s is a good upgrade from its
6:48predecessor, [music]
6:49offering stronger parking mode
6:50capabilities, larger max storage
6:53capacity, [music]
6:54better heat resistance, and a noticeably
6:56improved rear camera option thanks to
6:58its Sony Starvis 2 IMX 662 [music]
7:00sensor. For drivers in Metro Manila, or
7:02anyone who frequently parks in public
7:04spaces, the A810s’s added security
7:07features make it especially worth
7:09considering. So, is this your car’s next
