Xiaomi Yi dashcam

[maggoth]

just got it and installed it over the weekend. really value for money and installation was fuss-free.

however, there was once i wifi with my phone and was accessing the album then the recording suddenly changed to "emergency recording" and started storing in the emergency recording folder instead of roadmap folder.

did it happen because i accessed the album so the camera had to switch storage location?

Just installed the xiao yi camera but I have quite a number of doubts;

1) I installed both Yi Action or Yi Dashcam to my android HP but I can't transfer the media file from Xiao Yi camera to my HP. Any advise how to so it?

2) I notice the recorded video clips are all short in duration. This is the normal?

3) I understand there is a way to convert Chinese to English for the setup. How about English manual?

Cheers

1. Connect to xiaoyi wifi and then connect to it. When u browse video, 1st tab is emergency video, go to centre tab for normal recording video. Click and dl to hp

2. All clips are 3mins

3. Just leave it in chinese firmware. Only need to toggle wifi on/off so no issue.

Usually there is a sensivity setting. Set it to less sensitive option.

Followed the YouTube video but can't get it to English mode. Anyway left it in Chinese since it's easy to navigate anyway.

The original software is not working and it's only after upgraded then everything is running smoothly.

Here's a sample of the footage. It's all blurry and grainy.

P.S. Spot the Mustang!

your cam is out of focus!

your cam is out of focus!

I remember it's a common issue for this dash camera to be out of focus due to the heat.

It will get better if it cools down, might not be too suitable for our climate and usage.

People throw you also cannot avoid or catch them unless you know the person, right?

To answer your question, can be done, is only nice to see or not.

I used to leave my cams 24/7, go back skim through, see already you wished you rather not have seen at all.

Difficult to install rear camera due to the soft top. My convertible only has the front camera too. One option is to install it behind the seats but the camera pov may be limited when the top is up.

Depending on the design of your boot lid it is possible to install under the boot lid but not advisable as the camera will be exposed to the outside elements.

Hope this helps.
