70mai A810 Lite

A budget 4K with a real sensor compromise

The A810 Lite sits below the A810S and A810 as 70mai’s budget 4K dual-channel camera, launched in May 2026. Its front camera records native 3840×2160 at 30 fps with HDR, and testers consistently call the daytime footage clear, with license plates easily readable. The rear RC21 records 1920×1080 at 25 fps with no HDR and is the weaker half of the pair, especially at night.

The cost-saving choice is the image sensor. The A810 Lite uses a GalaxyCore GC8613, not the Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 on the A810 and A810S, and the processor is a Fullhan FH8536HV200. Do not merge it with the A810 (discontinued, Sony IMX678, F1.8, 150° field of view), the A810S (Sony IMX678, F1.7, 146°) or the A800SE, which also uses the GC8613 but has no 4G support.

Frame rate, rear camera and build

The most common functional complaint is the frame-rate drop: the front runs at 30 fps on its own but falls to 24 fps (60 Hz) or 25 fps (50 Hz) when both cameras record, and the rear stays at 25 fps. The rear lacks HDR, and reviewers put its night quality well below the front. There is no AI motion detection and no ADAS, so buyers expecting lane-departure or collision warnings are looking at the A810S instead.

Build is the other recurring criticism. DashCamTalk called it “quite cheap,” praised the clear 4K front footage, HDR, heat dissipation and low parking-mode draw, and criticised the single USB-A port on the lighter adapter and the dual-channel frame rate. On some units the supercapacitor is not physically secured to the circuit board, producing a buzzing rattle; 70mai has acknowledged it as a design issue, and no source settles whether it is universal or unit-by-unit.

Night footage splits the testers. Notebookcheck called the front camera “genuinely excellent — particularly after dark,” while autoevolution rated low light as the camera’s weak point and found installation tricky in some vehicles. Both agree daytime is strong.

4G, parking and running costs

The 4G cloud option is the A810 Lite’s differentiator at this price, since most rivals near $150 have no cellular option. It is not included: you add the UP05 4G hardwire kit at $65.99, plus a data plan at Standard $4.99 a month or $53.99 a year, or Premium $9.99 a month or $107.99 a year. Parking surveillance, collision detection and time-lapse also need a hardwire kit. The 70mai app handles live view, playback and downloads, and Wi-Fi 6 transfers run up to 25 MB/s. Maintenance is simple: keep the windshield clean for adhesion, use a U3-rated microSD card from a reputable vendor, and format it in the camera first.

Mighty Gadget praised the 4K front, parking surveillance and the app, and CGMagazine liked the compact size, the physical buttons and the speed watermark but found voice control could be spotty. Gear Diary stayed positive after a month of hot-weather driving.

Is it worth it?

The A810 Lite launched at $149.99 for the front + rear + 64 GB bundle (MSRP, 2026), with the UP05 kit adding $65.99 and the 4G plans adding $53.99 to $107.99 a year; the UK bundle is listed at £129.99 RRP, with a voucher price of £99.99 (Bedford Today). DashCamTalk’s data sheet lists $89.99 for the camera, which may reflect a sale or a different bundle. At or below $100 it is a strong budget pick with native 4K front, HDR, a supercapacitor, GPS, Wi-Fi 6, optional 4G and a retained screen; $101 to $130 is still good value if 4G matters; about $149.99 is fair, and at that level the A810S answers the Lite’s main compromises with a Sony sensor, 30 fps dual-channel, AI motion detection and ADAS. Above $150 the value is weak unless the compact size or the 4G option is the point.

Which model this is

This page covers the 70mai Dash Cam 4K A810 Lite, the budget 4K dual-channel model below the A810S and A810. The rear camera is the 70mai RC21. Do not confuse the Lite with the A810 or A810S, both of which use the Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678, or with the A800SE.
