Mount


Mijia with mount



Electrostatic films

You stick the electrostatic films onto your windscreen first before sticking the Mijia dashcam on to it. This to protect the tint you have on your windscreen.

Initial firmware on the Mijia dashcam and latest firmware in Mi Home App


English firmware v1.0.13.En
Please use the Mi Dash Cam app to update your Mijia dashcam with 1.0.13.En which is in English. Mi Home will update 1.0.13 which is in Chinese.

Also, you can't update using the Mi Dash Cam app after updating from the Mi Home app as it will detect that it is the latest firmware.

The only way is to manual flash update the firmware.

Download 1.0.13.En from my Dropbox.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/373k4i57tn6rwkl/1.0.13en.rar?dl=0

Unzip the file > copy the SD_CarDV.bin file to the microSD card root folder > insert to the Mijia dashcam > power on and wait for it to update > will auto reboot into English interface.


Videos
















Yi dashcam vs Mijia dashcam




Yi Dashcam 1080p 60fps vs Mijia Dashcam 1080p 30fps

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?)

Hi bro how would u rate this with Viofo A199/A199S? Which one will you recommend... I bought 1 Mijia already, thinking of getting another Mijia or Viofo A199S..

Bro by the way, I cant really see the side parking car number plate during night recording while you car is moving.. Can you read the number in your original video file?

A119 & A119S is currently my daily dashcams now in my car... At the moment, they are the best for below rm400 dashcam range...

No dashcams in the world can't see clearly at night while the car is moving...

Thanks bro..!! Btw A199S is more than rm400 nearly rm500 with gps

Yeah A119S is more expensive as it's newer than A119... Try searching in Aliexpress as they are having their 7th Anniversary sale in a few days time...

How this stand compared to xiaoyi? I see like quite clear compared xiaoyi... Xiaoyi even noon sometimes when fast can't see the plate number

Still looks good to me now... Here's some photos with Yi dashcam...

seem not bad...thanks for the review

Sorry, I mean how is the quality of the video recording Haha... I thinking is it worth to upgrade my current xiaoyi

Let me see if I can do a VS or not... Need to change a new dashcam for my wife's first from this Yi dashcam...

Okie.. Waiting your nice review. Thanks in advance

Hmm.. I would also like to find out. Xiaoyi is considered not bad already. How much is this ?
If same price and better, I am changing to this.

Around 300

not bad. really really not bad
how is quality if compare with yii cam?
i think i need one since i uber driver now

I know everyone want to see a VS between Mijia and Yi

I need time to setup and learn how to do a video with 2 videos in it...

Specs wise I like the Sony Exmor sensor on the Mijia and the A12 (Novatek) chip on the Yi...

not expensive but not cheap either
but the quality consider not bad, image good, but i hope more than tat lar, since dun have belakang camera
orange langgar bonet pun tak tau siapa

You cannot get a good dual dashcam for RM300 ler... This is better than those local sellers are selling for the same price but lower specs dashcams.

Also, the bonet is at the front, why "orange langgar bonet pun tak tau siapa?"

Looks good at this moment, thanks for sharing I was looking for this

Actually there is a comparision video between mijia and yi on the you tube.. Find yourself, coz i dont wan to hijack TS thread hehe...

From the video, mijia is much more clearer than yi.. day or night mijia still a clear winner..
