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.

Can advise if should go for Power Edition or the first Gen Edition?

Just normal use, not sure if the ADAS is useful or not

ADAS is just useless on the camera , its annoying

First gen. Why?
Because the one without ADAS cannot flash to US firmware to use English interface UI.
How to see ?
The serial number.
Starts with CCxxxx , then you're screwed. Start with CA, then you can flash

Thanks for the input

If language is not a problem? Besides the wide angle lens, is it useful?


How does this compare to Mijia?

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.

I have never used the MiJia. But I have compared with the 165 degree version with ADAS.
I bought my power edition for only RM145. I cant really complain since recording quality is about the same to me although 160 angle lens is noticeable. The older version was over RM200+.

Nah...For anyone who wants to compare. Mine is XiaoYi No ADAS version

I got 2 units within 2 months

then you get 32 or 64GB Samsung EvoPlus SD card instead of normal SD card given from package (careful fake SD card).
(exepsnive a bit but give the read / write speed where some members facing issues)
Just my 2 cents

English version?

3M tape or Suction Cup?

the vendor send both. 3M in the box, suction cup given by the vendor
It Chinese version lol....English version are extra RM 60-80 more expensive. You not need English version as not much thing you need to configure. Guess normally need is adjust are Resolution (Initially), have fun with the AIDS, On / Off WIFI...

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.

a) I think it has to do with setting on your dashcam. IIRC, gotta set to hotspot mode or something like that. Google for the answer.
b) Mine powers off too after I switch off my car ignition (similar to you unplugging the cable). To see if your battery is konked, start the camera without external power and see if it runs longer compared to the time it takes to shutdown when you remove the external power.

If you are the "got camera can already", then it better to buy the Power Edition since you are better off without a dashcam.
If you are the "will my dashcam help me?", I think it is better to go for First edition as the angle is wider and you will want to capture as much side way details as possible. Do take note that people have reported that the wider the angle, the less sharp it will be when viewing number plates.

(a) Yes, I can see, can connect, but after accessing the YI DASHCAM, it disconnect, dunno why?

(b) want to use it as external video camera for live video recording mah hahaha


Thanks for your reply and advise mushigen

(a) I have tried numerous time two months ago, by clicking the wifi dashcam, type in the default password, it connected, but when I accessed to Yi Dashcamera apps, it was disconnected. I kept repeat the same thing, but failed. I will try again the new 3.0 YI dashcam app and see...

(b) I have tried that without external power, it lasts less than 5 minutes. I was wondering to take out this dashcam to use as GoPro video camera Their internal battery capacity is tiny or faulty ?!
