Mangoal Front and Rear DashCam (OEM MG-006C-1BA) Review

The Mangoal OEM MG-006C-1BA is a dual dashcam kit featuring front 4K and rear Full HD cameras, powered via your vehicle’s OBD port rather than the traditional cigarette-lighter cable. The unit comes with a 128GB microSD card, adhesive mounting, and uses the SkyCamm mobile app (iOS/Android) for setup, live view, and playback.

Mangoal, founded in 2013, specialises in OEM dash cams and wireless chargers compatible with over 15+ global car brands and 1,000+ models. Their devices hold CE, RoHS, and FCC certifications.

Installation & App (SkyCamm)

The installation process was more straightforward than expected. Using the OBD connector eliminates the need to hardwire into the fuse box or battery. Cables tucked away cleanly, creating a professional, near-invisible finish — a big plus over suction-cup models.

⚠️ Tip: Always check your vehicle model before purchasing the OBD cable — some cars (e.g., Mazda 6) may require specific connectors.

The SkyCamm app connects via Wi-Fi (not your home network). It’s user-friendly, offering live viewing, video downloads, and configuration for recording resolution, loop duration, and voice alerts. Tutorials show car-specific installation steps, making the setup accessible even for first-time installers.

Camera Quality & Footage Analysis

Testing covered day and night recording on an Android phone (downloaded footage), and viewed on a Windows laptop, and a 55-inch 4K television.
 The front camera produced sharp, true-4K imagery (3840 × 2160 px), while the rear unit, though advertised as 2K, recorded at Full HD (1920 × 1080 px) — still clear but worth noting.

Camera Resolution (H × V) Megapixels Common Name Notes Average File Size (1 min) 128 GB Storage
Front 4K UHD 3840 × 2160 8.3 Ultra HD (4K) Manufacturer spec confirmed 130 MB (TechBuzz Ireland test result) ≈ 16.8 hours
Rear “2K” / FHD 1920 × 1080 2.1 Full HD (1080p) Records below 2K spec 58 MB (TechBuzz Ireland test result) ≈ 37.7 hours
Front + Rear – – Dual recording Combined total 188 MB (TechBuzz Ireland test result) ≈ 11.6 hours

Visual results:

  • Daytime: Excellent sharpness and licence-plate legibility even at distance.
  • Night: Clear and well-balanced exposure, maintaining visibility in low light.
  • Playback: Crisp and stable across devices, minimal compression artefacts.
  • Storage: Efficient loop recording; G-sensor reliably locks collision footage.

Overall, the footage quality outperforms many mid-range dash cams, particularly for the 4K front lens.

 Strengths

  • True 4K front camera delivers crisp, high-detail footage.
  • Clean, wire-free installation using OBD power.
  • Free SkyCamm app is intuitive and feature-rich.
  • 128 GB card included (a welcome bonus).
  • Dual-channel continuous recording with event lock.

Limitations

  • Rear camera records at Full HD, not the advertised 2K.
  • 1-year warranty feels short for the price bracket.
  • Adhesive mount makes repositioning difficult once fixed.

Verdict

The Mangoal MG-006C-1BA dash cam kit stands out for its 4K front recording, discreet OBD installation, and simple app control. While the rear camera isn’t true 2K and the warranty is modest, the overall package offers excellent visual quality and seamless installation.

Based on TechBuzz Ireland’s real-world testing, a 128GB card provides around 11 hours of dual-camera footage before automatically overwriting older files — typical behaviour for continuous loop recording. This is ideal for drivers seeking a permanent, tidy setup with reliable 4K recording.

He earns $8,150 a day by mining on CryptoMiningFirm using only a mobile phone—you can too!

San Francisco, California — 34-year-old Ethan Miller never imagined he could earn a stable $8,150 a day using only his mobile phone.

No complicated equipment, no technical skills required, and no need to be glued to a computer 24/7. All he did was download the CryptoMiningFirm cloud mining app, register an account, select a contract, and let the system work automatically.

His account balance grew from 0 to $244,500 in just two months. This change almost overturned all his original understanding of “making money with your phone”.

A Story of an Ordinary IT Engineer’s Counterattack

Ethan was originally an IT engineer, but he lost his job due to company layoffs. Pressure, mortgage payments, and expenses weighed heavily on him. “I had to find a new opportunity, or I’d be bankrupt,” he said.

One evening, he saw a discussion about CryptoMiningFirm cloud mining on a tech forum:

“Just use your phone, no need to buy mining rigs, no technical required, automatic mining and automatic settlement every day.”

He was skeptical, but still registered and tried it out. After registering, he received a $51 newcomer bonus, and the next day he started seeing earnings deposited into his account.

On day one, he earned $55.4.

On day three, he earned $236.

On day seven, he earned $2,870.

A month later, his daily earnings exceeded $8,000.

After confirming the platform was legitimate and secure, he upgraded his contract—and the rest is history. His highest daily earnings reached $8,150, and his monthly earnings exceeded $240,000.

He said, “I’m not an expert, I just took the first step earlier than others.”

How does CryptoMiningFirm achieve this?

Unlike traditional mining, which requires expensive mining rigs, CryptoMiningFirm offers cloud-based mining:

Users simply access the platform via their mobile phone or computer. The platform handles the mining rigs, maintenance, power, and computing power management.

Profits are automatically distributed to the user’s account daily. What Ethan finds most unbelievable is that even when his phone is off, the earnings continue to arrive.

More importantly, it features:

 

✔ Dual regulation by the UK and the EU (MiCA model)

 

✔ Full security protection with Cloudflare + McAfee

 

✔ Green energy mining farms (USA/Canada/Nordic/Southeast Asia)

 

✔ AI intelligent computing power scheduling improves mining efficiency by 35%

 

✔ Supports mining of multiple cryptocurrencies including BTC, ETH, XRP, DOGE, and SOL

 

This makes mining no longer exclusive to “professional players,” allowing ordinary people to easily participate.

Real-world earnings examples for Ethan

 

Contract Type Cost ($) Duration (days) Daily Rate ($) Total ($)
Antminer T21 100$ 2 4$ 108$
Iceriver KAS KS7 550$ 5 7.15$ 585.75$
ETCMiner E11 2500$ 10 35$ 2850$
MicroBTWhatsMiner M66S++ 5000$ 15 77.5$ 6162.5$
Antminer S21 XPHYD 10000$ 25 175$ 14375$
ANTSPACE HW5 50000$ 38 975$ 87050$
ANTSPACE MD5 80000$ 45 1640$ 153800$

 

Ethan said:

“I’m not a financial expert, nor a trader. I just seized an opportunity that ordinary people could participate in.”

Start earning money like Ethan in three easy steps:

Step 1: Free Registration – Complete in 30 seconds

Visit the CryptoMiningFirm website or download the app.

After registration, receive $10–$100 in free computing power rewards – start earning now without a deposit!

Step 2: Choose a Cloud Mining Contract

From beginner to advanced contracts, the system automatically allocates optimal computing power.

Step 3: Wait for your earnings to roll in

Daily profits are automatically settled and can be withdrawn or reinvested at any time to increase your returns.

It’s that simple.

Why are more and more people joining CryptoMiningFirm like Ethan?

Because this is no longer just “investment,” but a new type of intelligent passive income model:

No need to monitor the market

Unaffected by market fluctuations

No need for learning

No need to spend time

Earn money 24/7

In the era of AI + computing power economy, mastering computing power means mastering wealth.

Your wealth can start working for you—every single day!

Imagine this: every digital asset in your wallet earning daily income, and all it takes is a single smartphone.
 If you don’t start now, you’ll never see your first profit. Hesitation means missing out on hundreds—even thousands—of dollars every single day. Ethan never imagined that a smartphone could completely transform his financial future.

But he did—and so can you.

Take control today: Download the CryptoMiningFirm App and turn your phone into a personal cloud mining powerhouse.

Tozi marks Anti-Bullying Week with social campaign to support young people online

Tozi, the anti-bullying and cyber-safety app developed by Vodafone Foundation, in collaboration with DCU Anti-Bullying Centre and the ISPCC, is marking Anti-Bullying Week (wc 10 November) with a new social media campaign: Supporting Young People in the Digital World.

The campaign aims to empower young people to recognise, respond to, and rise above bullying and is launched as recent ESRI research shows that 62% of 13-year-olds reported experiencing at least one bullying behaviour in the past three months, while one in ten Tozi users have activated the app’s SOS feature in the last year, connecting them directly to Childline via call or chat —demonstrating the importance of a trusted digital space and the need for quick, seamless access to support 24/7.

At the heart of the campaign is a short video featuring two girls exploring Tozi’s “Beat Bullying” module, sharing their thoughts on the app and how it helps them navigate online challenges with confidence.

Tozi:

In 2022, The Vodafone Ireland Foundation developed and launched Tozi, a free app to combat cyberbullying and promote online safety among children and young people. Since its launch, Tozi has had over 20,000 downloads, and is currently being rolled out across Europe following the Irish success.

It offers a content library with advice on handling online challenges, a private journaling space with a feeling’s tracker, and direct access to Childline through the SOS feature for 24/7 support.

The ESRI research also found that 37% of 13-year-olds faced repeated incidents, with online bullying and name-calling among the most common forms, while children targeted at age nine were more likely to be bullied again at age thirteen, underlining the need for early intervention.

Expert Perspective:
The Irish Girl Guides have been a Vodafone Foundation partner since 2023, working to provide lessons on digital skills to older people through the Hi Digital initiative. The Irish Girl Guides work closely with young people across Ireland and see firsthand the challenges girls face online. Their experience underscores the urgent need for resources like Tozi, which aims to empower and protect young people in the digital world.

Speaking on the growing issue of online bullying, Irish Girl Guides Tir na nÓg Leader and Programme and Training Commissioner, Róisín Mills, said:

“As a Leader with the Irish Girl Guides, I worry about the impact social media is having on the girls in my Unit. I see them becoming more disengaged, and I’ve witnessed the effects of online bullying and the pressure to present a perfect image. That’s why we run activities focused on body image, cyber-security, and smart surfing—giving our members the tools to stay safe and confident online. We’re realistic about phone use and guide the girls to use technology in a positive, informed way. Creating a safe space for these conversations is vital, and I believe it’s making a real difference.”

Tozi doesn’t just teach users what bullying is — it shows them how to stand up, speak out, and support each other in the moments that matter most.

Tozi is available for free download on the App Store and Google Play. Learn more at https://www.to-zi.com/

NOVOO Slim Smart Tracker Card Review

The NOVOO Slim Smart Tracker Card is designed to be a seamless, ultra-thin alternative to bulkier item trackers, specifically catering to wallets, passport holders, and luggage tags. Its primary appeal lies in its extremely thin profile and long-lasting battery, making it a competitive choice in the Apple Find My ecosystem and to make note early this is an iOS only product we have an Android version tag review also done.

The slimness is a good selling point and fits into all my wallets with ease. Integration with the Apple Find My network is immediate and reliable, providing the same global tracking peace of mind as an AirTag. The 6-year battery life (yet to be proven) is a massive advantage over rechargeable cards or those with 1-year replaceable batteries, minimizing maintenance. The setup process is quick and simple within the Find My app.

The main limitation is that the card is iOS-only and does not support Android devices. Furthermore, because it utilizes Bluetooth and the Find My network, it does not offer Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Precision Finding (the directional arrow feature found in AirTags), meaning you won’t get meter-specific guidance to an item nearby; you must rely on the 80dB sound cue for close-range location.

The NOVOO Slim Smart Tracker Card is an excellent choice for iPhone users seeking a dedicated, low-maintenance wallet tracker. It solves the critical problem of bulk that plagues many circular trackers, and its 6-year lifespan is unparalleled in this category. See the video down below for more

Features

 

  • 【Compatible with Apple Find My App】Setting up the NOVOO Wallet Tracker is fast and easy. Simply open Apple’s “Find My” app, enable Bluetooth, and pair the device within 30 seconds. Compatible with iOS devices, you can track your items across the vast Apple network. (𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: 𝐢𝐎𝐒 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐝). Note: Push Harder If It Doesn’t Turn On.
  • 【Long-Lasting 6-Year Battery】With a remarkable 540mAh battery, the NOVOO Slim Smart Track Card only needs to be replaced once every six years. Say goodbye to the hassle of recharging every 3-6 months like other Bluetooth trackers. You can check the remaining battery life anytime, with notifications sent to your smartphone when it drops below 20%.(𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: Lasting 6-Year Battery, Battery Not Rechargeable)
  • 【Ultra-Slim SmartCard】The NOVOO Wallet Tracker Card is just 1.6mm thick, equivalent to two credit cards stacked together. This ultra-slim design allows it to seamlessly fit into any wallet, purse, luggage tag or backpack, making it ideal for travelers or anyone looking to keep track of valuable items without adding bulk.

 

 

【IP68 Waterproof & Dust Resistant】With an industry-leading IP68 waterproof rating, the NOVOO Wallet Tracker is
  • designed to withstand splashes, rain, and even brief submersion up to 1.5 meters (4.92 feet) for 30 minutes. Perfect for outdoor activities, travel, or daily use, it ensures reliable performance even in tough weather conditions.
  • 【Smart Reminder Alert for Easy Location】Enjoy a Bluetooth range of up to 131 feet (40 meters) with an 80dB ringtone for long-distance tracking. If your device is within range, use the “Find My” app or ask Siri to ring it. Even if the tracker is out of Bluetooth range, you can still view the last known location and get directions through the Find My network of billions of Apple devices.
  • 【Lost Mode and Smart Location Alerts】Activate Lost Mode to leverage Apple’s vast network of devices, helping you find your lost items. When your tracker is detected by an Apple device, you’ll automatically receive notifications. Additionally, your iPhone will notify you when the tracker moves out of Bluetooth range, and you can see the last known location in the “Find My” app.
  • 【Privacy Protection and Anti-Tracking Alerts】The NOVOO Slim Smart Track Card uses AES-128 encryption, ensuring your data remains secure. Get notified if an unknown tracker follows you, giving peace of mind in crowded places or while travelling. Additionally, if an unauthorized card is detected, you’ll receive an alert to protect your privacy. 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: This card’s unique pairing and security require Apple devices to remove it via the FindMy app with Bluetooth enabled.

Novoo Smart Tag NFT1-206G Review: Dual-System Tracker

The Novoo Smart Tag NFT1-206G stands out as a flexible and affordable Bluetooth tracker designed for both iOS (Apple Find My) and Android (Google Find My Device) users, supplying multi-platform support in a slim, lightweight package. The kit includes four separate trackers suitable for luggage, car, keys, and more.

 

Key Features and First Impressions

  • Dual-System Compatibility: This model works seamlessly with Apple’s and Google’s tracking apps. Resetting the tracker is necessary when switching between systems, which is worth noting for travelers using both device types at home.
  • Reliable Certified Chip: The tag uses a certified AIROHA chip, ensuring secure and stable connectivity with official apps.
  • Replaceable Battery: Each Smart Tag is fitted with a CR2032 battery lasting up to one year. Replacing the battery is straightforward, encouraging long-term use.
  • Volume and Alerts: The built-in speaker produces a 60–80dB alert — sufficient for nearby searches, though not exceptionally loud compared to some premium models.
  • Water Resistance: IPX5 rating means suitable for light rain or splashes, but not intended for full immersion or wet conditions — keep this in mind for outdoor or pet tracking.

 

Setup and Usability

Setup is intuitive and does not require technical expertise. Activating the tag and pairing it via Bluetooth and the chosen app takes less than a minute. The tracker can be renamed for practical organisation, like assigning one tag to luggage or a vehicle. In testing, tracking was reliable, and notifications about lost items worked promptly, with last-known locations displayed in-app.

 

Battery lasts up to 1 year and can be replaced with a CR2032

 

 

Note: If the tracker is left, e.g., in a car in case the vehicle is stolen, those in the area of the tracker are notified of the tracker’s presence, whether using an iPhone / Android device.

Niggles:

While the Novoo Smart Tag performs admirably for everyday use, several minor drawbacks warrant mention:

  • No Built-in Keychain Holder: The device is slim and durable but lacks a built-in hook for keys or bags, requiring extra holders to be sourced online. An included accessory would add value.
  • Alert Volume: The ring volume, while decent, may not compete with the loudest on the market, which could be limiting in noisy environments.
  • IPX5 Water Resistance: Suits everyday scenarios like rain or splashes but not immersion; this may be a limitation for pet or outdoor applications, so weigh use cases carefully.

Conclusion

The Smart Tag kit allowed tracking everyday items and vehicles, providing peace of mind for travel or parking. The renaming feature proved valuable for luggage, while the global tracking functioned reliably—useful for recovering stolen property.

The Novoo Smart Tag NFT1-206G delivers strong value in a dual-system Bluetooth tracker, offering versatility and reliable tracking for a fair price. While it excels in ease of use and multi-platform support, prospective buyers should consider the lack of a built-in holder and moderate alert volume. For users searching for an accessible, practical, and budget-friendly tracker, especially those switching between Android and iOS, this unit is worthy of consideration.

Google Search: Introducing AI Mode in Ireland

Today, Google is rolling out AI Mode, Google’s most powerful AI search experience, in Ireland. AI Mode has more advanced reasoning and multimodality, and the ability to go deeper through follow-up questions and helpful links to the web. Whether someone is looking for products, planning a trip, or exploring a new topic, AI Mode is designed to understand what they’re really asking for and help them to find it. From today AI mode will appear as a tab on the Search results page and in the Google app for Android and iOS.

AI Mode is a new, intuitive way to address the most complex, multi-part questions and follow-ups on Search, and satisfy people’s curiosity in a richer way. Using a custom version of Google’s advanced Gemini models for Search, it lets people ask nuanced questions that would have previously required multiple searches. It is particularly helpful for exploratory questions and for more complicated tasks like planning a trip or understanding complex how-tos. It’s even designed to be truly multimodal, so questions can be asked in whatever way feels most natural — whether that’s with text, voice or even camera.   Google has found that early users of AI Mode are asking questions that are two or three times the length of traditional search queries.

As autumn arrives and people begin to turn to warmer clothes, Google Search Trends data shows that ‘How to style a big cardigan’ is the most searched ‘How to style’ question in Ireland in the last 30 days. For those looking for styling help, AI mode can act as a personal stylist and help with styling ideas including showing different outfits that incorporate a large cardigan. Coffee lovers can ask questions like, ‘I’m looking to understand different coffee brewing methods. Make a table comparing the differences in taste, ease of use and equipment needed.’ And even follow up with: ‘what’s the best grind size for each method’.

As Google continues to evolve the Search experience with AI capabilities, the focus remains on helping people access information and perspectives from a diverse range of sources. For example, with AI Overviews, people have been visiting a greater diversity of websites for help with more complex questions. And when people click from search result pages with AI Overviews, these clicks are higher quality for websites — meaning users are more likely to spend more time on the sites they visit.

AI Mode is rooted in Google’s core quality and ranking systems, and novel approaches are being used to improve factuality. Google aims to show an AI-powered response as much as possible, but in cases where there isn’t high confidence, users will see a set of web search results. As with any early-stage AI product, it won’t always be right, but Google is committed to continuous improvement.

Try AI Mode in Ireland now here.

We are proud to have advanced our new products to take the leap towards being even more environmentally friendly and even more convenient for our users.” states Primož Zelenšek, Co-founder and CEO at Chipolo.
