Yi dashcam vs Mijia dashcam



The Mijia dashcam looks clearer in the video but the video is darker. The Yi dashcam can see more details in darker areas (Hopefully Mi can fix this in a future firmware?)

Thanks for sharing TS, looks good, wonder how it compares to the yi action cam, can show us side by side video if you have
*
Cannot compare action cam with dashcam... Both for different functions... Also different hardware...


QUOTE(r3d2 @ Mar 5 2016, 09:20 AM)
Why is this not sold on Xiaomi website?
*
Not yet official launch in mi website.

It's more like a startup for the China market...

XIAOMI YI Action Cam and YI Dash cam is two different thing.
(Albeit the two share the same manufacturer plant)

This is misleading with the consumer

QUOTE(JunJun04035 @ Mar 5 2016, 09:23 AM)
because it is not a xiaomi product
*
Xiaoyi is a division of Xiaomi. How is it not an official Xiaomi product?

Please advice...

come on brother, you need me to spoonfed you?

This is from XIAOYI company website (not sure about you understanding chinese)
That bolded part, is a very polite way to say "I'm affiliated with XIAOMI but I'm not XIAOMI" (MAYBE OWNED BY XIAOMI too)

This is XIAOYI Dashcam

This is XIAOMI YI CAMERA

Come brother I don't need you to spoonfeed me. I can do the research by myself to find out the actual facts. I think you might want to do some research on how the name of xiaoyi came about from xiaomi.

Xiaoyi is the R&D arm of Xiaomi to develop the Yi technology products.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaomi

Yi action cam is also from xioayi... Please see xiaoyi website as the yi action cam is listed in their product range... So does that means it's not original from xiaomi also?

By the way, perhaps you want to read the Chinese explanation again to understand better. My advise is don't use Google translate cause it doesn't give the correct meaning.

ts, the settings in yi cam got selection of left lane driving or right lane driving?

and wonder why the machine keep remind u to keep a distance with front car as the first reminder heard in your night scene recording showing no car in front of u, is that it 'can see ah fly car' in front of u??? hahaha
*
There's no settings from left or right hand drive... You can see the settings screenshot in the first post.

That's the ADAS function... Not that accurate yet... Maybe the later firmware updates will fix it...

Do you hardwire it?
Guys,
About the glare/star effect, nothing wrong with this firmware.
Just don't mess with the lens.

Thanks.
*
The Yi dashcam don't have parking mode, so don't need to hardwire... Also with 64GB, most is 8 hours of recording...

My current setup as I'm still testing the Yi dashcam... I don't unplug when I park my car...

Do you know where to get the rear mirror mount?
I search in gearbest but cannot find one.

The original mount is getting loose, because my car is under the hot sun everyday.
