The key feature of 70 Minutes Car Dashcam is its unique voice control. All functions of the recorder are based on optional voice commands.

The DVR is made in a traditional form: it is a small cylinder on a rotating bracket with the possibility of serious adjustment. The design involves the use of its own fasteners and power, however, Xiaomi has provided a universal landing pad for use with the 70 Minutes Car Dashcam with any suitable mount for a specific cars.
For the convenience of the driver, the device illuminates the power button, located royally on the side. The indicator lights up in three colors, telling the user about his own status. Blue color - the device is turned on, green - recording is in progress. Red color indicates problems.
70 Minutes Car Dashcam Hardware Features
Like the co-creation products we are already familiar with, Xiaomi and Mijia equipped the 70 Minutes Car Dashcam with serious stuffing.

Higher resolutions are not supported, but Full HD is real, without post-processing, negative distortion or extrapolation. The processor copes with such a flow effortlessly, without getting stuck for a second. The large clipboard allows the recorder to work even with low-speed memory cards,
The lens captures the entire road view with a 130-degree viewing angle. Additionally, the 70 Minutes Car Dashcam uses a unique high quality spherical lens.

Apparently, the 70 Minutes Car Dashcam uses Japanese developments Olimpus or Leica - the quality of video recordings is no worse than that of SLR cameras.
Also, according to the manufacturer, the coating improves light transmission, reduces reflection and prevents glass from breaking from extremely high temperatures.
