70mai (pronounced “seventy mai”) is a Chinese smart automotive electronics brand that specializes in intelligent driving products, particularly dashboard cameras (dash cams). Founded in 2016 in Shanghai, China, the company has become one of the world’s leading manufacturers of dash cams, expanding its presence to more than 100 countries across Asia, Europe, North America, and other global markets.
