70mai Dash Cam M300

The small barrel of 70mai Dash Cam 1S has been a bestseller of Xiaomi's subsidiary brand for a long period of time. In 2021, a device of a similar form factor with more advanced features was released to replace it.

Innovations

The M300 boasts a higher recording resolution (2304x1296 pixels at 30 fps) and support for WDR to even out the exposure of footage in scenes with complex light changes in the frame. The viewing angle of the lens of the head unit has also slightly increased — henceforth it is about 140 ° versus 130 ° for its predecessor.

Wi-Fi control

The DVR lacks its own screen; any modern smartphone with a pre-installed proprietary application is suitable for accessing its settings and viewing captured videos. Communication between the registrar and mobile gadgets is kept via a wireless Wi-Fi network. The LED indication around the power button on one of the ends of the case informs about the operating mode of the device. The circle glows blue in standby mode, red when a malfunction occurs, and green during video recording.

Onboard armament

The on-board equipment of the model provides for a G-sensor used to start automatic video recording at the start of a movement or to protect fragments from being overwritten at the time of an accident. In addition, the device was equipped with its own 240 mAh battery, which provides autonomous shooting for up to one hour. Finally, car owners will appreciate the parking surveillance mode, which allows you to record any potential incidents in the parking lot in your absence.
