QUOTE(blurjoey @ Apr 6 2017, 04:28 PM) The darker video could be due to the firmware... Think mi need to tweak the firmware more... Bought RM 214 from Lazada after discount Mine haven't hang yet though... Have you update the firmware of the mijia? But 11street selling the mijia for rm230 now which is almost same as yi dashcam... This weekend, I'll take the yi dashcam from my wife's car to do a day/night comparisons...  |

Heard Mijia runs hotter compared to Yi? That might be an issue with our weather?
I wish they run on cap instead of a (pseudo) battery.. |

Feels warm to the touch only...I wish they run on cap instead of a (pseudo) battery.. The mijia is for China market... Anyway still trying to find out if it is lithium ion or lithium polymer battery in the Mijia... Polymer can tahan heat better than ion... |

QUOTE(t3n @ Apr 4 2017, 01:45 PM) yes the card will auto rewrite every 2 days base on your situation... Just buy a good SD card to avoid SD card premature damage... Avoid Sandisk Ultra... I using 1 year plus already seems OK for SanDisk QUOTE(blurjoey @ Apr 6 2017, 10:13 AM) Here you go! It's in the wifi settings screen. FYI - The wifi password will change after update firmware. Your SanDisk died after how long using? Btw if it dies how SanDisk know what we used it for? Current price SanDisk cheapest to get rite.? Rm30+- can get 32gb cardGot more screenshot of the translated menus in my blog  https://jwtechsite.wordpress.com/2017/03/22...-mijia-dashcam/ At the moment, the mounting hole looks proprietary... Don't think can as all the settings in the Mijia and the MiHome app is limited... Search for Mi Home in the App store https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mi-home-xia...d957323480?mt=8 Sandisk Ultra can't last long when used in dashcams. Too much writing to the card. When you're using your Eken H9R, it's only recording the video when you asked it to and stop when you asked it to. Dashcam is recording when you start your car until you off your car in 1/3/5 minutes files until the card is full. Then overwrite the older files when full. If you use your Eken H9R as a dashcam, your sandisk ultra will eventually die also. Eventhough both is cameras but the 2 is different types of cameras. I have 2 Sandisk Ultra 32gb and 64gb died when used in my dashcams. Was working fine on my phones before cause less read and write. Anyway, now Sandisk doesn't cover warranty when their cards is used in dashcam or any surveillance cam... I stopped buying Sandisk d... Now use mostly Samsung Evo+ and Netac cards... |

I used to stick the plastic protector on the black dot dot but after few days the whole thing fell off.. now i just direct stick the mount onto the black dot.. Actually can stick if using tape mount. Suction mount will fall off as in there have spaces under the tint... In the got sun, the air expand so there is a not a very flat surface for the suction mount to grip on...QUOTE(btjunkster @ Apr 9 2017, 10:17 AM) Anyone knows if this model have lane assist and distance warning like the previous XiaoMi dashcam? Nope... It doesn't... Anyway the lane assist and distance warning only good when highway driving... City driving, it gives false warnings... |

hi guys,
can't decide between Mijia and Xiaoyi dash cam. any reco? Since price is almost the same. Also, I've been looking around and found out that there is many version of Xiaoyi (power, international). What's the difference other than the interface language? From some descriptions on the selling pages I see, the Power has lower fps rate than the international? Also I found out that the older version of the Xiaoyi is clearer than the newer ones? Does this have anything to do with firmware updates? I've been researching all night but still kelam kabut.  |
