70mai A800SE vs A810S vs T800 — Honest Comparison from the Team That Built Them
Three 4K 70mai dash cams. Overlapping features. Different prices. Which one should you actually buy? We make them, so we have strong opinions. Here they are — honestly.
The 30-Second Answer
- A800SE (RM 409) — the best 4K dash cam without 4G. Buy it if you park in a secure garage and don't need remote monitoring.
- A810S (RM 519) — the sweet-spot pick. 4K + 4G with Sony STARVIS 2. Buy it if you can afford the extra RM 110 over the A800SE.
- T800 (RM 999) — the flagship. Triple-channel, dual 4K front + rear + interior. Buy it if you drive Grab, own a premium car, or want the last dash cam you'll need for years.

A800SE — The "No-Nonsense" 4K
If 4G remote features don't matter to you, the A800SE is the cleanest 4K value in the 70mai range. Sony STARVIS sensor (one generation older than STARVIS 2, but still excellent), HDR recording, super night vision, supercapacitor, 24-hour surveillance capability with a hardwire kit. What you give up: remote live view and 4G-based parking alerts.
Buy it if: You park in a private garage, you're not a remote-monitoring type, and you want solid 4K protection without paying the 4G premium.
Skip it if: You park on the street or in open carparks. The A810S is worth RM 110 more.
A810S — The Sweet Spot
Same Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 sensor as the flagship T800. 4G LTE with remote live view and parking alerts. GPS, ADAS, supercapacitor. 1080P rear camera (same as A800SE). The whole package for RM 519.
This is what we'd buy if we were buying our own dash cam without an employee discount. The A810 sibling scored 4.69/5 on MIROS CamScore — the highest rating ever recorded in the programme — and the A810S keeps that pedigree while adding 4G.
Buy it if: You want the best price-to-performance 4K + 4G dash cam in the range. This is the default recommendation for 90% of 70mai buyers.
Skip it if: You specifically need 4K on the rear channel (jump to T800), or you specifically don't need 4G (save with A800SE).
T800 — The Flagship
Triple-channel: 4K front + 4K rear + interior camera. Both main channels use Sony STARVIS 2 IMX678 — meaning your rear footage is the same quality as your front footage, which is unusual (most 4K dash cams downgrade the rear to 1080P to save cost). 4G LTE, GPS, ADAS, supercapacitor, AI parking surveillance.
This is 70mai's most capable dash cam in Malaysia. It's RM 999, roughly double the A810S, and the extras justify the price only if you actually need them.
Buy it if: You drive Grab, own a car worth RM 150,000+, or you've had a previous dash cam fail and you want the last one you'll need for years.
Skip it if: You're a typical daily driver and you don't need interior recording. The A810S delivers 85% of the T800's real-world value for 52% of the price.
Decision Framework
Answer these in order:
- Do you need interior recording? Yes → T800. No → continue.
- Do you park in a secure garage? Yes → A800SE. No → continue.
- Is 4G remote monitoring worth RM 110 to you? Yes → A810S. No → A800SE.
That's it. Most readers end at step 3 with the A810S, which is why it's our default recommendation.
Installation and Warranty
All three ship with 18-month local warranty when purchased from 70mai.my. Professional installation is free at authorised 70mai branches — typically 60 minutes for the A800SE or A810S, 90 minutes for the T800 because of the interior-camera cable routing.
