Okay so I’m no expert when it comes to dashcams so the title of this post is relative to my experience. I’ve recently been given a dashcam by the exclusive distributors of DDPai here in the Philippines. So far I’m loving it. Here’s my unboxing and personal take on the dashcam.
This is where the USB car charging cable comes in – it’s connected to the magnet base that’s connected to the 3M windshield sticker.
Here’s another look at the base disattached from the 3M windshield sticker
And another view from the top
Here’s the magnetic charger ‘neck’ that connects the M4 body to the charger and windshield
Here’s what’s written in the USB adapter of the DDPai M4
Here’s a closer look of the USB slots
Here’s how the stickers that hold the cable of the DDPai M4 looks like
Here is how the USB cable looks like. It’s quite long so that you are able to hide it along the contours of your vehicle
Here is the small plastic hook that helps you to hide the lengthy USB cable
Here’s the cable and plastic hook fresh from unboxing
The M4 accessories are actually arranged really well inside the box
A closer look
The user manual – it’s really quite thin
Here is the DDPai M4 button that allows you to take pictures or 10 second videos and transfer it to your smartphone
Here is the DDPai M4 body. It’s quite obvious where the magnetic charger is supposed to connect.

Here’s another look at DDPai – the underbelly of the body

All in all, I’m very happy with the DDPai M4. I took some photos and videos but have yet to edit out some of the private conversations. I’ll upload it soon enough. Overall if it’s not the best dashcam you can buy in the Philippines (it costs 5,950), it is definitely one of the best.
If you’re interested in the DDPai M4, send me an email at hello@seansi.org and I’ll have it shipped right to you – anywhere in Metro Manila.
