Comparison 70mai Dash Cam A800S-1 vs 70mai Dash Cam A800

Model of the processor used in the dashcam

The term "video chip" is used mainly for devices with classic capabilities, "processor" — for advanced models with an abundance of non-standard functions. However, anyway, we are talking about the same component — the main computing unit, the characteristics of which directly affect the capabilities of the recorder as a whole. Knowing the model of the processor, you can find detailed data on it and evaluate how satisfied you are with a device based on such electronics. Of the most advanced modern chips, one can name, in particular, Ambarella A7L, Ambarella A12, Novatek NTK96655, Novatek NTK96660 and HiSilicon Hi3516.

Viewing angle of the additional dashcam camera. Depending on the design and configuration, it may refer to either an external camera or an interior camera (see above for both); this nuance should be clarified separately. The viewing angle can be specified both horizontally and diagonally, which is why models with the same figures in the specifications may slightly differ in their actual field of view. However, in this case, this difference is not critical.

In theory, a wider viewing angle allows for capturing a larger area, but individual details in the frame become smaller. Additionally, wide-angle lenses can cause geometric distortions at the edges of the image; the DEWARP technology (see "Features") used to eliminate them is usually not used in additional cameras.
