The reasons for hiding a dash cam vary, from recording passengers (if your car is used as a taxi) to monitoring the behavior of an employee you have as a driver, to recording circumstances in which a robbery or mugging may occur.
Let's see which are the most recommended places to hide a camera inside the car and which model you can use.
Places to hide a dash cam
The idea is to find the best recording angle, whether internal or external as appropriate in each case, always taking care not to interfere with the sound, which is just as important as the video.
If you want to hide it to have a good internal angle, it could be inside the air conditioning vents, or it could be inside a dashboard compartment.
If you want to hide it to capture external images, the best place is the ceiling, discreetly placed. Remember that if a thief feels threatened by a camera, they may break the glass just to avoid being recorded, even taking the camera with them.
So there's nothing better than keeping a discreet camera in any of the above cases.
Discreet cameras for Xiaomi 70 Mai cars
The Xiaomi 70mai brand offers several models of discreet dash cams. The smallest is the 70mai Dash Cam M500 , and the most powerful is the 70mai Dash Cam 4k A800S .
This model has the unique feature of having an integrated GPS and a rear camera can be added.
The built-in GPS is very useful for identifying the exact location of an accident or incident and also for determining the current speed.
The rearview camera in your car helps you have multiple views at once, which is very useful for serving as evidence in court. You can purchase the rearview camera as an option, and in some stores, like GSMPRO, you can find it on sale already included in your Car Camera + Rear Dash Cam package.
The viewfinder is quite wide, about 140°, so you can record with a significant amount of space.
The camera, even when not powered, can continue to work for a certain amount of time, as it has a small battery for this purpose.
The Xiaomi 70mai camera app is available for both Android and iOS, and offers storage space for uploading the latest videos without having to worry about whether you have enough space. Newer videos automatically replace older ones if there's no storage space.
Another interesting feature of this camera model is its “parking mode,” which allows the camera to continue working even when the car is parked or stopped.
The image quality at night is quite high, enough to detect any car's license plate without any problem.
The best thing about this Xiaomi 70mai car camera is that once installed you can forget about it, since it does everything automatically.
