DDPAI - Z60

I had the same worry when I first got a dash cam, but in practice most thieves are looking for laptops, bags, or anything they can grab fast. A hardwired dash cam that sits up by the mirror really doesn’t draw much attention. If you are still worried, you can always tuck the wires neatly and use parking mode so you don’t need to take it on and off all the time. I’ve been running a DDPAI Z60 and it has been solid. The camera itself is all black and blends in with the rearview mirror so it doesn’t catch the eye, I honestly forget it’s even there. It also has parking surveillance so if anyone were to mess with the car, you’d have it on video. That peace of mind is worth more than worrying about someone noticing it.

I’d go with a DDPAI front + rear setup within your $200–$250 range. DDPAI cams tend to give reliable clear day/night video, the parking mode actually works, and the supercapacitor keeps time/date stable without weird battery issues. With a hardwire kit and a 128GB high-endurance card, I set mine and haven’t touched it since it just records what matters. Front-only is fine if you really need to save money, but getting rear coverage from the start gives you way better overall protection for city driving and parking situations.

For a sports coupe I get why you would want something that does not stand out. A lot of dash cams look bulky or flashy which can ruin the clean interior. I have been running a DDPAI N5 Dual and it blends in really well. The body is very small with no screen, so once it is tucked near the mirror you forget it is even there. It records front and rear with clear detail day and night, and the built in 32GB eMMC storage means you still have footage even if the microSD card fails. The radar assisted parking mode has been a bonus since it wakes up only when needed without draining the battery. If you prefer a front only setup, the DDPAI Z60 is another option. It is all black so it disappears by the mirror, and 4K UHD resolution with a wide angle view has been great for everyday driving. The Z60 Pro steps it up further with Sony STARVIS 2 on the front camera, so if low light plate clarity is a top priority that might be worth a look. Both setups have been very discreet which is exactly what I wanted.

From my experience the cheap ones dont last. For about a year it will start to show signs. On&off, memory card problems. When i switched to Ddpai, no more issues. Been using them for two years now.

ddpai. ddpai z60 na kaagad. may 0% sa shopee 😂 pwede ikaw lang din mag install

madali lang po actually..ito yung napanood ko.. https://youtu.be/kCjgPDOrENU?si=Vhdn3z1rWYqhKGkl note po: di yan directly connected sa battery, so kung naka off ang sasakyan, off din ang dashcam

Find a dash cam that does not use lithium batteries. There are a couple that use super capacitors that are heat resistant. I use a ddpai that is cost effective and never over heats. Here’s an article explaining https://www.blackboxmycar.com/pages/whats-the-difference-between-super-capacitors-and-lithium-ion-batteries-in-a-dash-camera?srsltid=AfmBOoolEg9SIWlUApGuPn6ExUuv9u4cJciiE9HRx12AxiDUrm737qLG

Get a 70mai or even better options like Redtiger or DDPAI and use a hardwire kit with it.. It will allow you to record 24/7 and don't forget to check if the hardwire kit has a voltage protection so that the battery will not be drained.

Contrary sa iba. I would not recommend ddpai. I bought a z60 and nalalabuan ako sa shots niya kapag gabi. Oks na oks sa umaga pero nagkakatalo talaga mga dashcam sa gabi 'di ba. Having said that, I would have bought higher priced na lang sana na dash cams.

Feeling ko magkalevel lang si 70mai and ddpai e. Tingin ka pa po ibang brand.

Haha. Natanggal ko po. Seryoso, pangit talaga siya kapag low light. Wala ka makikita sa glare. Kapag maaraw, oks na oks. Medyo feeling less secure ka lang talaga on very low light situations. Sobrang labo din sa glare. Try it po for yourself. Balitaan mo ako later.

I hope the rear cam gets better. Pero kung puro day time lang naman ang byahe, I don't see it being a problem. Good value for the money na siya.

Grab a ddpai direct from the ddpai store on AliExpress, half the price of pbtech
