Is the M800+CPL worth it over a cheaper 2K dash cam?

If you need plate-level detail and strong night video, the 4K sensor and STARVIS 2 low-light performance are the main reasons to pay more. A 2K cam covers basic recording for less.

Does the CPL filter make a real difference?

Yes. It cuts polarized glare from the windshield and reflections of the dashboard, which otherwise wash out footage on sunny days. It screws onto the lens and can be rotated to tune the effect.

Do I need a SIM card for the M800?

Only for 4G features such as remote live view and cloud parking alerts. Recording, GPS and app transfer over Wi-Fi work without one.

Does it record the rear of the car?

No. This bundle is a single front camera plus the CPL filter. A rear camera is a separate add-on.

The M800 dash cam, the CPL filter, a mounting bracket, a car power cable and basic mounting hardware. A microSD card is not included and must be bought separately.

What size memory card does it take?

It uses a microSD card, and 70mai recommends a high-endurance card rated for dash cam use. 4K recording fills cards quickly, so a larger card is worth considering.

Our take on the M800+CPL

The 70mai M800+CPL is a dash cam bundle that pairs the M800 recorder with a circular polarizing filter. The M800 records in 4K, uses a Sony STARVIS 2 sensor for low-light footage, and adds 4G connectivity for remote viewing and parking alerts when a SIM is fitted. The CPL filter cuts windshield glare and dashboard reflections that wash out footage on bright days. It suits drivers who want detailed plate-reading footage day and night and are willing to pay more than a basic 1080p cam for it.
