what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back in today's video we are checking
out one of the latest dash cameras from 70 may call the m300 so this is an affordable dash
camera that can record at the maximum resolution of 2304 by 1296 of course you can always lower
that resolution to 1080p if you want to save some space on the sd card talking about sd cards this
dash camera can take sd cards up to 128 gigs i personally only use the 64 gig sd card with it
and a two minute recording done at the maximum resolution takes about 251 megabytes on the sd
card so just you have an idea how much you can actually record on a sd card we're gonna start
with a super quick unboxing so the camera comes in a pretty small box but again the camera itself is
pretty small aside from that you're gonna find the camera we have the mount for it with a sticker and
we also get two electrostatic stickers so one of those stickers would be placed on your windshield
and then you stick the sticker of the camera onto that um electrostatic sticker if that makes sense
however it does look good when mounted aside from that we get a cable for the camera so you can plug
it in the cable is long enough so you can take the cable all around the car so basically hide it
throughout the car all the way to that cigarette lighter port that you have in your vehicle and we
have a little power adapter so you can plug it in now there is also a hardwiring kit that you can
buy for this camera so with that kit you basically power the camera directly from your car's battery
personally i haven't done that but if you do do that you do get to access the parking features for
this camera without the hardwiring kit you cannot access the parking features for it so it may be a
good option for some people if you're not parking in like a garage or something like that and if you
want to monitor what's happening around the car when the car is parked as i mentioned earlier
the dash camera itself is pretty small it's mostly made out of plastic and it looks somewhat familiar
to a previous camera that we've seen from 70 may call the 1s if i remember um correctly so on the
front here we have the lens the lens is also covered by glass that's important mostly if the
camera sits in direct sunlight because this way nothing will happen to that lens with some other
cameras that have the lens covered by plastic well that plastic gets some yellow but that's not going
to be the case with this one we have the holes for the speaker we have some other holes so the
camera can dissipate them heat on the left hand side here we have the only button available um
there are instructions in the user manual what you can do and cannot do with that button and on the
other side of the camera we have the micro usb charging port and the slot for the sd card next
to a little hole um that's basically the reset button so that's about it for the dash camera
itself so very simple device so how do you control this well the camera makes a wi-fi network you
connect to that wi-fi network with your smartphone of course you're gonna have to install an app on
your smartphone the app is called the 70ma app and from the app you can control everything about the
camera you can see the recordings that the camera has done you can also download those recordings
right on your phone you can change settings from there you can do basically everything from your
phone without actually having to touch the camera at all next we're gonna move on and check out some
sample recordings that i've done with this dash camera during the day and at night because the
video quality from a dash camera is one of the most important things about the dash camera of
course all the recordings that you're about to see are done at the maximum recording resolution
supported by this dash camera and they were not modified in any way so i'm going to let
you guys watch those recordings and then i'll come back so we can talk about them for a bit
um
i guess storks may be busy
i guess that's how you turn that thing
like it doesn't even make sense
you know the way to the christmas tree
okay so i checked out the daytime and the nighttime footage of course the daytime footage is
always better than the nighttime footage that's the case with all dash cameras all
action cameras all phone cameras because we have very small sensors in here so none of them do that
great at night and of course this is kind of the case with this one for those daytime recordings
you can definitely see the license plates for the cars around you depending how the light hits
those license plates how far those cars are from you and so on but you can definitely see what's
happening in front of the vehicle for nighttime recordings of course it is a bit more difficult
to see those license plates and on the cars around you because it depends how those um headlights hit
those license plates and so on so if you're gonna be comparing the footage that you get from this
to the footage that you would get from a dash camera that records in 4k of course the other
one will have better footage but that camera will probably be like six or seven times more expensive
than this one this is a very affordable dash camera camera that anyone can afford basically
so if you're looking for a super affordable dash camera that will potentially save you a lot of
money in case that something happens on the road this is definitely a good option all right guys
hopefully you enjoyed this video thanks for watching and i'll see you in the next one
