WARNING! MAKING CHANGES TO YOUR FIRMWARE ARE PERFORMED AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DASH CAM AS A RESULT OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Firmware Update Instructions
Some owners have created custom Firmware for the Dash Cam Pro to improve video quality. You can learn more about the custom firmware here. User Manual Other commands include 'take photo' and 'take a selfie'. Personally, I don't need to record my unflattering driving face, but influencers will love this idea. And they'll also love being able to record sound along with video; you just say 'Record audio' to get this going. There's even a 'shoot vlog' command which makes the tripod head slowly rotate and record a 10-second video. There are 2 methods to update the firmware: via the app (follow the instructions in the app) or manually (follow the instructions below).

This dashcam offers a lot of features for a low price, but does it deliver? Our 70mai Dash Cam Omni review reveals all.
The latter is optional: you can use voice control to control the camera instead if you prefer (and you'll certainly want to do so while driving). But you will need to keep the app on your phone, because the 70mai Omni does not record to removable media such as microSD card. It purely records to its own internal memory, so the only way you can access your footage is via your smartphone. You get 32GB, 64GB or 128GB of storage depending on how much you spend. Note that there is a Chinese version and English version of this camera. We recommend purchasing the English version. The Chinese version can be updated to have English announcements but voice commands will remain Chinese. If you happen to have the Chinese version, the Chinese voice commands are as follows: The 70mai has a nice cylindrical design and is small at 100 x 55 x 32 mm. It does not come with a screen and can be mounted discreetly in your vehicle. The form factor is very simple with one power button providing multiple functions (power on, power off, turn on WiFi, turn off Wifi, format SD card and restore default settings). The 70mai Dash Cam Pro has a wedge shaped design and is small at 87.5 x 53 x 19 mm. The camera comes with 2″ Screen, WiFi (with Android and iOS apps), G-sensor and optional GPS. Because 70mai is owned by Chinese company Xiaomi, some people might be wary of sharing their footage and data in this way. Personally, I'm not bothered about this kind of thing (it would be pretty difficult to review tech if I was). However, it did disappoint me that I couldn't just record to a microSD card, because that just seems like a simpler option.
The first thing I needed to do was install the complementary app. This is required to set up the device in the first place, and it also allows you to control the dashcam once it's up and running.Note that there are no hardware differences between the International (English), Chinese and Russian versions of this camera. Any language firmware can be flashed to the camera. I share this experience for two reasons. Firstly, I'd advise you pay more care than I did when attaching the dashcam initially. But as a broader point, if you were planning to remove the dashcam at the end of each journey (seeing it as a temptation for thieves) then this is not the choice for you. It's designed to stay up permanently. Hold down therightmost buttonand turn on the camera by pressing the large long button in the middle of the camera. Hold the right button until the update message appears, and then release it. A unique feature for this dash cam is voice control (only available in English and Chinese). The camera has 4 voice commands available: The camera does not come with GPS or any form of parking mode. It also uses a battery rather than a super capacitor making it not ideal for very high temperature environments.
