- Attach the electrostatic sticker to the windshield, then firmly press the adhesive sticker of the mount onto the electrostatic sticker.
- Slide the main dash cam unit onto the mounting bracket until it clicks into place.
- Adjust the camera angle to ensure the road is centered in the frame.
3.3 Installing the Rear Camera
Mount the rear camera on your rear window using its adhesive. Connect the rear camera to the main unit using the provided 6-meter signal cable. Route the cable neatly along the vehicle's interior trim using the wiring crowbar.
3.4 Power Connection
Connect the main unit to your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket using the provided USB car charger and power cord. Ensure you use the official power accessories to prevent compatibility issues. The dash cam will power on automatically when the vehicle starts.
3.5 Inserting the microSD Card

4.2 Super Night Vision with STARVIS 2
The dash cam utilizes the Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 sensor and an F1.8 aperture lens to significantly improve imaging performance in low-light conditions. This ensures clear recordings at night or in tunnels, capturing details like license plate numbers.

4.3 24-Hour Parking Surveillance
To enable 24-hour parking surveillance, the optional 70mai Hardwire Kit+ UP03 (sold separately) is required. When connected, the dash cam will monitor your vehicle even when parked. It features AI motion detection to automatically record suspicious activity around your car, such as hit-and-runs or unauthorized access.
Note: The specific operating time depends on your vehicle's battery condition. The default protection voltage for the parking surveillance cable is 11.8V. If the battery voltage drops below this, the power supply will stop, and the recorder will shut down. Consider a parking surveillance auxiliary battery if battery drain is a concern.

4.4 ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems)

- Lane Departure Warning
- Forward Collision Warning
- Front Vehicle Start Alert
- Pedestrian Alert
- Bicycle Rider Alert
All ADAS functions can be toggled ON/OFF via the 70mai app.

4.6 G-Sensor Emergency Recording
The built-in G-sensor automatically detects sudden impacts or collisions. In such events, it triggers emergency recording, saving footage from a few seconds before and after the incident to a separate, protected folder to prevent overwriting.

4.7 Loop Recording & Time-Lapse Recording
The loop recording function automatically overwrites the oldest footage when the microSD card is full, ensuring continuous recording. In parking mode, time-lapse recording compresses 15 minutes of footage into 1 minute, saving memory space and reducing battery consumption.
