May I know what is the latest firmware version for mijia dash camera til today? Thanks
*
1.0.8 is the latest firmware

QUOTE(shirohamada @ May 6 2017, 08:37 PM)
sensor uses line skipping read out.
looks more like 720p with heavy denoising and oversharpening.
some area like edges of foliage looks like watercolour.
pretty much looks like any other cam with novatech chipset.
nothing special in terms of video quality but it's enough for what it is meant for.
the previous yi is definitely better in terms of video quality.
*
Noted and thank you...

Sure everyone has their own individual preferences...

Previous Yi is which dashcam? Yi only has a dashcam. Yi not yet announced any new dashcam...


QUOTE(enduser @ May 6 2017, 09:00 PM)
Got 2.7" & 3" screen for mijia?
Which one is the latest?
*
Xioami Mijia dashcam only 3" screen dashcam... 2.7" is Yi dashcam... Both Xiaomi and Yi is 2 different companies...

Before Yi separated from Xiaomi then was Xiaoyi... Now it's just Yi only after the divorce...

I got post comment in #4 about this also in KopiPeng's thread...

QUOTE(shirohamada @ May 6 2017, 09:51 PM)
This is the Yi dashcam... Was not released under Xiaomi Xiaoyi brand... Was released under Yi brand after Yi separated from Xiaomi. This is why Xiaomi released their 1st dashcam under the Mijia branding...

Hi TS, may I know is the APP to connect the Mijia dash cam with iphone is called Mihome or Mijia in mandarin  (greenish coloured app)? I have downloaded but I can't find the Dash Cam in the list of devices to be added. Only Air Purifier, Humidifier, vacuum, LED lamp, fan and wifi repeater.

On top there are two options to be chose from ie Add Bluetooth Device and Add Device Group.

Hope sifu can enlighten me on this. Thanks!

It's this in the Appstore

You need to change the MiHome app region to China then only can connect to the Mijia dashcam. Try and see.

The 1st pic says "Connected to phone, setting in standby mode"

3rd pics says "Auto upgrade will perform on next restart" means when you restart the Mijia dashcam it will update the firmware.

I also can't read chinese, so I get my friends to read for me laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Also new 1.0.9 firmware, later go update also...

I haven't read through the entire thread, so please forgive me if this has already been asked, roughly how long can you record for with your current 64GB SD Card before having to delete/transfer out the files?

Mijia dashcam records in 1920x1080 30fps with an overall bit rate of 16.3 Mb/s, with 64GB it's about 8.9 hours video...

Also, the dashcam will overwrite old files first when full. No need to manually format or transfer out the files d...

just got my Xiaoyi dash cam few days back.

so far i think 1080p 60fps works awesome. although the vehicle's plate number is clearer when about 5-8meters away from my car.

night time also not bad lah.

but one thing is, it's kinda difficult to remove the dashcam from the mounting. i mean, i pressed the plastic switch to remove the cam from the mount but it looked the cam is inserted too tight. sad.gif

Here is Xiaomi Mijia dashcam thread... laugh.gif

Xiaoyi dashcam is here https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3885271

Yeah, that clip needs to press a bit more then only can slide it out of the Yi dashcam...

unlike yi dash cam, can this one converted to english firmware? like if yi dash cam, just change the serial then can flash to international firmware (which I'm using it now)

thinking to get another for my other car, and maybe try this mijia dash cam

There is no international firmware for Mijia dashcam at the moment...

thinking of getting a Mijia dashcam but since I don't read Chinese
possible to get car accessory shop to install ..? how much they will charge?

It's easy to install yourself... Accessories might charge you rm20-100 to install into your car...

Also, I have translated the menu to English in my review blog... It's set 1 time and forget... FYI, I can't read Chinese also but I can setup it without any issues.

change the quality on the youtube video to 1080p la.

I am think of buying one for wife's car but she prefers those that comes something like this http://www.lazada.com.my/goq-d208-dual-cam...ml?ff=1&boost=2

cos she says another physical cam sort of disrupts her vision and this one can turn off screen and just replace the rearview mirror. Any comments guys ? Pros and cons ?

Sorry TS,  I dont mean to disrupt this Mijia thread but if she says will disrupt her vision, I better trust her cos I don't want her to blame me in case shit happens biggrin.gif . BTW, I might be getting this Mijia for myself. Where to get it instal to hide the wires and how much ya? Thanks in advance
*
If you put the dashcam higher and behind the rearview mirror, your wife can't see it. Mine is roughly there and it doesn't disrupts my vision also...

Rearview mirror is good but a few thing I don't like about them, 1) the rubber straps that holds them to the mirror will get loose 2) the cam on the left side of the car (China is left-hand drive) = more view of the left side and less of the right side...

Try to get with 1 with the cam at the center and using better mounts...

""""2) the cam on the left side of the car (China is left-hand drive) = more view of the left side and less of the right side..."""""" TRUE THAT, nvr thought abt that.
Btw, where did you get yours installed and how much ? Correct me if I am wrong but I assume most car accessories shop would know how to, right ? I am not a DIY person and what I want most is to hide all wires that can be hidden .

Thanks a lot for your helpful reply.

My dashcams... Can see it? Hahaha...
Attached Image

I learned to DIY the installations myself. Takes about 30 minutes only.

This the easiest to DIY via the linings...


Now have DIY to hide the bales cables inside the A pillar and behind the dashboard.

How do u update the firmware? Im having problem wifi connecting to mi home

Try to forget the wifi of the mihome on your phone and reconnect again. Also, set your Mihome region to china.

Once connected, the mihome will inform got a new firmware and if you want to upgrade or not.

After the mihome app, power off your mijia and power back on to complete the firmware update.

Something like if I remember correctly...
