BACK TO THE FUTURE: World’s first 360° dash cam now records in 4K and it supports a rear-facing camera

THE Dash Cam 4K Omni from 70mai has been upgraded to record in high definition 4K and you can now also add a rear facing camera too.

The 70mai Omni was the first dash camera in the world able to record in 360°.

It features a clever motorised rotating camera at the bottom of the device that could be manually operated or turned via voice commands.

Now the new upgraded 70mai Dash Cam 4K Omni can record in 4K resolution via its STARVIS 2-enabled front camera running at an impressive 60 frames per second.

And it also now supports dual-channel recording so you can also run an additional 1080P rear facing camera providing comprehensive 360° coverage with high definition clarity from every angle including the back of your vehicle.

Thanks to 70mai’s Night Owl Vision™ it helps to reduce noise and control glare for sharper details, including distant license plates.

And the 70mai Lumi Vision technology ensures visibility in near-total darkness.

To power on the 4K Omni you need to connect the USB cable to the 12v adaptor that has to USB inputs one for the dash cam and another for another device like your phone.

There is also an optional 70mai hardwire kit that allows you to be permanently connected to a power source.

After connecting to power just press the ON/OFF button, the 1.4-inch LCD screen comes to life and you’ll be greeted by an Avatar called ‘Max’ who instructs you on how to set-up the dash cam.

This first involves you downloading the 70mai app on your smartphone then you have to register and then link the dash cam to the app and you’ll be up and running.

You use buttons on the side of the dash cam to scroll through and adjust the different settings.

Use voice controls to turn the camera around handfree, just say: “Capture Inside” and it spins around and starts to record the cabin.

You can also use voice commands to activate the Vlogging Feature, just say “Capture Vlog” and the camera will pan to the left recording for a few seconds, and then to the right again for a few seconds.

Then it will spin 180° and record from inside the cabin, then back to recording from the front.

The 4K Omni also includes 24 hour smart parking surveillance that uses integrated AI Motion Detection 2.0, powered by advanced algorithms and dual Hall Effect Sensors to deliver precise tracking.

The system also introduces dual-channel collision detection and time-lapse recording, so any incidents are properly documented.

In addition, the 4k Omni is equipped with a 4G function to enhance parking surveillance even further but only when using the optional hardware kit UP04 as this allows the camera to be connencted to power even when your vehicle is turned off.

The 4K Omni boasts real-time vehicle protection with buffered emergency recording, integrated battery voltage monitoring, and its supercapacitor system allows it to operated in extreme cold and hot conditions.

With built-in GPS and Super-Sensing ADAS, the dash cam provides lane departure alerts, forward collision warnings, and pedestrian identification to keep you safe while driving.
