NEWS – Back in 2022, I had the chance to review the original 70mai Omni dash cam, a unique device that stood out with its 360-degree rotating camera and AI-powered features. It was a solid performer, but like any tech product, it had room for improvement. Fast forward to today, and 70mai has announced the new 70mai 4K Omni Dash Cam, an upgraded version that addresses many of the original’s limitations while adding exciting new features. If you loved the first Omni or are just looking for a high-quality dash cam, this new version is worth your attention.
What’s New with the 4K Omni?
The most significant upgrade is right in the name: 4K resolution. While the first Omni recorded in 1080p, which was fine for general use, stepping up to 4K is a game-changer. The increased resolution captures sharper details, making it easier to read license plates or identify faces in footage. Whether you’re dealing with an accident or just want crystal-clear recordings of your road trips, this improvement ensures you won’t miss a thing.
The 4K Omni uses the STARVIS 2 IMX678, which is Sony’s best-in-class image sensor. This is a step up from the previous version of the Omni, which used the OS02k10 image sensor.
With this new dash cam, you can also install an HDR rear cam so that together with the front rotating camera, you’ll have 360 degree protection.
Another standout addition is 70mai Lumi Vision™, which dramatically enhances low-light performance for visibility in almost near-total darkness. One of my minor gripes with the original model was its somewhat average nighttime video quality. The new Omni tackles this head-on by reducing noise and balancing exposure in dim environments. Whether you’re driving on poorly lit streets or navigating through heavy rain at night, the footage remains clear and usable.
An important change is that the 70mai 4K Omni is equipped with a supercapacitor instead of a Lithium battery. The Supercapacitor is high-temperature resistant and automatically saves videos before shutting down after a power outage.
The new model also introduces 4G LTE connectivity (with an optional hardwire kit). This feature allows you to monitor your car remotely via the 70mai app. Imagine being able to check in on your parked car from anywhere or receiving instant alerts if something happens—like a collision or suspicious activity nearby. This added layer of security gives peace of mind, especially for those who park their cars in public or high-risk areas.
Smarter Features and Better Storage
The AI-powered features that made the first Omni so appealing have been refined even further. The Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) now offer improved accuracy for detecting pedestrians, lane departures, and vehicles ahead of you. These alerts can help prevent accidents by giving you timely warnings about potential hazards. Additionally, motion tracking has been fine-tuned for better responsiveness when monitoring activity around your parked car.
Storage has also seen an upgrade. While the original model relied on built-in storage with limited capacity options, the new 4K Omni offers up to 512GB of external storage. It will allow for longer recording duration.
The Same Great 360-Degree Coverage
One thing that hasn’t changed, and honestly didn’t need to, is the 360-degree rotating camera. This feature remains one of the Omni’s biggest selling points because it eliminates blind spots entirely. Whether you want to record what’s happening inside your car or capture a panoramic view outside, this dash cam has you covered. It’s still voice-controlled too, so you can easily command it to rotate or take selfies without fiddling with buttons while driving.
Why Upgrade?
If you already own the original 70mai Omni, you might be wondering if upgrading is worth it. For me, the answer is yes—especially if video quality and nighttime performance are priorities for you. The jump to 4K resolution alone makes a noticeable difference in clarity, and Night Owl Vision™ ensures that even low-light footage looks great. Add in remote monitoring via LTE and smarter AI features, and this new model feels like a significant step forward.
For those new to dash cams or considering their first purchase, the 70mai 4K Omni is an excellent choice. It combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features like voice control and app integration, making it both powerful and easy to use.
Having reviewed the first Omni back in 2022, I’m genuinely impressed by how much 70mai has improved with this latest version. The 70mai 4K Omni Dash Cam isn’t just an incremental upgrade; it’s a thoughtful reimagining of what a dash cam can do. Whether you’re looking for sharper footage, better nighttime performance, or advanced security features like remote monitoring, this device checks all the boxes.
If you’ve been holding off on upgrading your dash cam—or are simply ready to invest in one that offers top-tier performance, the 70mai 4K Omni is definitely worth considering. It builds on everything that made the original great while addressing its shortcomings in meaningful ways.
The 70mai Dash Cam 4K Omni will be available on 3/10/25 from Amazon and the 70mai website with prices starting at $279.99/£268 for the single 4K Omni and $406/£389 with the 4K Omni with rear cam, 256GB memory card and hard wiring kit.
