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.

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.

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...

tech noob here. Is it necessary to update the firmware occasionally ? Or is it only for those who wants to connect to Xiaomi phone ?

I don't have issues watching on windows with media player classic from k-lite codec pack...

I succeeded with Media Player 10. Thanks a lot ! You have been real helpful.

'DIY'ed the installation today. Not too hard, cam is barely visible when I am driving BUT my film fell off cos I stuck part of the film on the dotted thingy behind my rearview mirror. Lucky my cable was securely attached to the cam otherwise cry.gif

Was thinking if I should stick it directly on the dotted (what are those anyway? Sensors? hmm.gif ) the next time it falls again.

experienced a blank white screen even though I ON/OFF the gadget while engine is running. I then formatted the card still same problem. Then I mati enjin and restarted it was OK. Dunno camera or SD card problem.

How many of you leave the screen on while recording? I would love too but the cam get hot pretty fast

When you press the emergency button when the G sensor is not activated or saw something interesting, the dashcam will put that video file into the Event folder which won't be overwritten by the loop recording when the microSD is full.
2.19 megapixels

I set mine to LOW sensitivity cos even going thru a bump it will trigger the sensor when it was on HIGH. Worried that there will be no more space for recording if the EMERGENCY FOLDER is full since it won't be deleted. Best to delete the videos in emergency folder periodically.
