any hint why that 2 different type of file in the SD Card?
What the different between the *_S (less than 100 MB) and file without _S (large than 100 MB)?
File without the _S are more clear than the _S.
* both are same time stamp

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

a)  I can't connect my Xiaomi Yi dashcam with my iPhone via wifi.  Can someone here enlighten me?

- Can you see the Dashcam WIFI or not? Once you clicked the WIFI it should ask you for password lol
 
b) I always need to charge my dashcam , if i unplug the USB cable, the dashcam will power off, is it defective?  How long the dashcam internal battery can last ?
- Once you stop your engine, it will automated shut off within 10-15 second (if not mistake) after showing you how long it been run. When you start your car it will start charge again...why need to take out and charge lol

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

I got 2 units within 2 months smile.gif

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

Guys, is there any specific angle or how far the dashcam should be set from the windscreen to get maximum recording quality?

This is my first recording, but does not look sharp enough. Looking at the number plate unless it is really close. Skip to 1:36

Firmware version: V-1.03.026 flashed from CN to US.


*
what resolution you set? Are you download thru WIFI or from SD direct?

How to change the focus lense? Can't find the option

Is not "mushigen" already give you idea?
"I would lower the angle a bit to record my bonnet instead of seeing so much sky. If you view your video, seeing too much sky makes the video a little distorted and cause giddiness. In addition, with such high angle, you might record very dark traffic videos if you are facing the sun in the evening time. You install the cam to record traffic, not UFOs, right? "

Instead of the Camera Len set on 45 degree, try move to 50 or lower bit...Lot different especially night time.

most important to try whether could see the number plate in front, so that could captured correctly.

Guys this is my first dashcam i have gotten and it is in chinese,i just need to be sure in somethings.
1.Mine is the Yi Black Power Edition, i put in a 16gb sd card will it delete the old files by itself once it gets full or i must do it myself or else it won't record anymore?
Automated delete except those emergency record file

2.Can this cam work on 4g or just wifi??
WIFI to your phone number

what need to do so lal...the command are standard (Just take the english manual and see the logo picture), or just ask someone help you translate to you. you not always make change right? What need to risk it.

well, that 2 version (Mandarion or English) but if you want the cheap one than it is Mandarin version. Question is you not going to keep changing the setting so was the problem on it? Symbol are the same just use the english manual or ask someone to help for translate will do.
