Review: 70mai Dash Cam 4K Omni has eyes everywhere
Camera can monitor all angles, capturing incidents from the sides or rear
70mai Dash Cam 4K Omni
The dashcam market is a pretty crowded one so it takes something innovative and special to stand out. And the 70mai Dash Cam 4K Omni certainy does that - mostly for the good, a little for the bad.
An upgraded version of 70mai's unique 360deg dashcam., the 4k Omni's video quality has been upped thanks to a new Sony Starvis 2 IMX678 sensor, which gives crisp 4K footage at up to 60fps and clear views in all lighting conditions. The dual-channel setup includes a rear camera capturing 1080p video at 30fps, providing comprehensive coverage of your car's surroundings.
So far, so good, but what really sets it apart is the 360degs bit. This means the camera can monitor all angles, so very useful for capturing incidents from the sides or rear, areas often missed by traditional dashcams. The AI Motion Detection 2.0 system makes the most of this ability by automatically tracking and recording movement around the vehicle.
Due to its all-round feature the main unit does look a little unusual as it hangs down from your windscreen. If you're in a large car it's not an issue but the bulbous body can look a little incongruous in a smaller one.
Installation is pretty straightforward, although I'm not brave enough to push the cables into the panels. I've always wanted a dashcam professionaly fitted but have found that most installers will only install dashcams you have purchased from them, which is rather annoying.
The rear camera is far smaller as you would expect and a more standard design. Finding the perfect spot can be tricky, but this is no different to any other dashcam.
The rest of the setup is via the 70mai app, where you can access and manage recordings, plus view live footage and download videos from your phone via wifi. I'd describe the app as 'good enough' with scope for improvement. Some users have complained about a flaky connection, but I didn't run into any troubles on that front.
70mai Dash Cam 4K Omni
Once on the road, everything ran smoothly. I found the 360deg coverage genuinely reassuring, while 70mai's Night Owl Vision did make a big difference after the sun goes down (especially when it came to reducing glare from oncoming vehicles).
Another plus is the 4K Omni can offer 24-hour smart parking surveillance, app alerts, a 'find my car' feature, and real-time tracking, if paired with a 4G kit. What you do get as standard is a 128GB SD card for video storage, plenty for endless recording, and a voice control feature with commands such as 'take a photo', as well as lane departure warnings and collision detection alerts.
The standard 4k Omni is available for £299.99 via Amazon with the hardwire 4G kit an optional extra.
What users say
"Been using this dash cam for a couple of weeks now and really rate it. The 360° rotating lens is proper useful – covers the front, sides, and even inside the car if needed. The 4K front and 1080p rear footage is sharp, even at night. Number plates are clear and there's no weird glare from headlights."
"I fitted this kit with 4G hardwire kit and I need to say, that it is great! Night video or picture quality is great! You can check your car remotely inside and outside thanks to 360 head - great ides btw. Really good piece of kit!"

Ninja air fryer at lowest price all year on Amazon and cheaper buying direct
This particular model of Ninja air fryer is one of the brand's best-sellers and is currently on offer on Amazon, saving shoppers a huge amount of money Air fryers have become the latest kitchen sensation, offering a faster and more convenient cooking method that's winning over families everywhere. With so many brands vying for attention, it can be quite the challenge to select the cream of the crop. Ninja, despite being on the pricier side, has gained a reputation for producing some of the finest air fryers around, as evidenced by the tonnes of glowing reviews on its website. Ninja's own research also suggest that its air fryers could lead to energy savings when compared to traditional oven cooking. The Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer is one of the brand's most popular, with Ninja saying that it can whip up fish fingers and sausages a whopping 75% quicker than your standard oven (pre-heating included). Its studies further suggest that an air fryer could "save up to 65% on energy bills" when rustling up sausages, in contrast with a fan oven. While the Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer is reduced on the Ninja website, down from £229.99 to £179.99, bargain hunters will be thrilled to find that Amazon has slashed the price even further. Right now, Amazon is tempting shoppers with the Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer at a reduced rate of £170.12, which translates to a hefty 26% discount. And if you're one to keep an eye on deals, Camelcamelcamel confirms this is the lowest price the gadget has seen on Amazon this year. The Ninja Foodi MAX air fryer, praised for its dual cooking zones that let different dishes be prepared at the same time, has been making waves, according to the Daily Record. With six versatile cooking functions – max crisp, air fry, roast, bake, reheat and dehydrate – this gadget is revolutionising kitchen counters by delivering a range of culinary possibilities, from crisping frozen goodies to warming up last night's dinner. Moreover, Ninja says it slashes fat usage by up to 75% on its air frying setting. Ideal for either meal prep aficionados or hosting duties, the air fryer's large size can whip up eight servings in one go, fitting either 1.4kg of fries or 2kg of chicken effortlessly into each compartment. It comes with two non-stick, dishwasher-safe 4.75-litre drawers and crisper plates to make the clean-up as breezy as the cooking process. With an impressive 4.8 out of five-star rating from a massive 38,960 Amazon reviews, the Ninja Foodi MAX has won over users, one of whom exclaimed: "The best thing about this product is that it pays for itself through energy savings." Another customer couldn't contain their excitement: "This air fryer is very good! I'd heard great things about Ninja products and this one totally lives up to the hype. It's nice to be able to cook two things at once with different settings. It's so convenient, cooks food way faster than my oven." "The product arrived promptly and in great condition. I use this every day. It is so easy to navigate and easy to clean. Food comes out tasty, especially the veggies," wrote another thrilled buyer. However, some customers haven't been completely impressed with the air fryer. One dissatisfied consumer reported: "It's not much bigger than the 300 but has better capacity, so it's useful for larger families. However, the controls are hard to see and use." Nevertheless, there's a whole host of other air fryers vying for attention on the market, including more pocket-friendly versions with solid reputations. Debenhams offers a bargain with the Geepas 9.2L Air Fryer that has five-in-one functions for a tempting £52.58. The device comes with an easy-to-use interactive touchscreen, nine established cooking programs, and a spacious 9.2L non-stick container. For those who fancy a less expensive Ninja alternative, the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer could be the way to go. Sold directly by Ninja and on sale at £149, this variant features six distinct cooking modes, separate cooking compartments, a roomy 7.6L size, and claims energy savings on your oven bills by up to 75% (as determined by Ninja's own independent research).
