Can

Try vlc player or mx player on your phone and see...

Only be able to update English firmware only as the it detects the language stated on your serial number in your Yi dashcam... That's how they hacked the Chinese version to install English firmware, by changing the cn to en in the serial number...

If not mistaken, coolstore used to sell the Nimitz CPL filter for the Yi dashcam...

I'm using MX Player and it's fine

You said you wanted Xiaoyi dashcam ma...

Mijia is by Xiaomi not Xiaoyi...

Watch and decide lor...

What plugin for Mijia dashcam?

You need to test out the 1080p 30fps or 60fps. See which you like.

1296p is interpolated from 1080p.

The smaller file size movie is for streaming to the phone via wifi... Download faster 30+MB than the full quality 300+MB file...

Avoid Sandisk Ultra. Will die very fast when used in dashcams.

My favorite is Samsung Evo+.

Mine is still working since day 1 until today.

Using the Ultra in a phone and in the dashcam is different. Dashcam is read and write the whole time while power on. Phone is not.

I got 3 64GB Sandisk Ultra that has died while using in dashcams.

Don't think it's an issue with the seller. Should be a faulty unit or batch, maybe?

TLC & MLC NAND Overview
Consumers typically see two types – TLC and MLC. TLC is cheaper and less reliable. Manufacturers increased storage density by stuffing more information (3 bits/cell) into a memory cell but sacrifices durability. MLC costs more money and is far more durable because it stores less information per cell (2 bits/cell) so wear and tear is greatly reduced.

Don't buy Sandisk Ultra
The Ultra series is a popular purchase because of their price and availability. They are not a good choice because of their high failure rates when used in dash cameras. As well SanDisk will not warranty any cards used in a dash camera unless you use their High Endurance lineup.

Suspected Problem
TLC cards like the Ultra can have worse controllers, error correction and wear leveling which reduces reliability in heavy use. It’s suspected that the Ultra’s controller chip has an especially hard time handling the constant rewriting of dash cameras. The Ultra may also be overly aggressive in permanently write-locking the card when it detects bad sectors. This is a protective mechanism found in many cards to ensure your data is saved when there are errors. The Ultra may be over-zealous and lock the card early.

Sandisk High Endurance, Lexar High Endurance, Transcend High Endurance

1. Not sure as don't use iPhone.
2. Should be battery faulty d as mine also same as used for 1+ year d. If battery no issue can still record about 5-15 minutes.

Basically the power edition is a slight downgrade of the other 2 editions.


I got Yi vs Mijia videos in the first post. Can watch and judge yourself which is better.

Anyway I'm waiting for Yi dashcam 2.7K King Edition to arrive.

The Yi dashcam is in english... Very easy to configure...

Better set the correct date and time. If something happens and you need it for a police report. Wrong date and time will make the video cannot be used in the police report.

Not worth it to spend a bit more for english version. Also, the english version firmware is a few versions behind the current chinese firmware. Not very updated.

Are using the new Yi dashcam app (blue and white icon)? After updating to the latest app I also cannot connect to the Yi dashcam. But connected once only, after cannot d... LOL!

Most can record a few minutes only worth that small battery... LOL

1. Yes, best bang for your buck. I prefer the Mijia dashcam more than Yi dashcam.

2. Yes, it's called loop recording which all dashcams have. It will overwrite older files first when full. All dashcams auto turns on when you start your engine.

3. Sadly no. The lithium battery might last about a year in the heat. After that, cannot hold a charge or gets bloated.
