Reviews of Xiaomi Yi WiFi DVR

Evaluation 4
Advantages: Convenient interface. quality of shooting. micro usb.
Disadvantages: No motion sensor. light body.
Comment: I bought for 3500r. Sd card is desirable to immediately put on 64 gig. Video 2K with interpolation is played only on a computer, so it is better to set 1080/30 on the recorder or smartphone (it takes up less space on the card). Car charge with two outputs 2A. in the parking lot, you can connect an external battery better than 10,000 mAh. The mount is compact, rotates 360 degrees, the latch is not comfortable. From the glare, you can put a light filter from the camera at 49mm with an adapter of 37mm to 49mm. For the money the body and paint can be.

Advantages: Workmanship, equipment, shooting. It connects via wifi to the phone. The video quality is amazing in any light, even with headlights, even against the sun. The kit already includes an adapter with a cigarette lighter for 2 usb connectors, was pleasantly surprised by such a detail. And very strong, high-quality.
If necessary, download the video on the phone, it is impossible to first watch it. But a frame-by-frame preview of the selected segment of the video sequence is provided, which is also convenient.
There is a G-sensor. When it is triggered, the regiment writes an "important" video at 10-second intervals before and after the impact. This video can then be seen in the “important” tab in the phone's application, and not in the list of others.
Disadvantages: Chinese interface language. As smuggling some sort. The mount could be more diverse. The recorder on the mount becomes a problem of its location on the glass due to its size. The ADAS function is useless absolutely, nothing more than a marketing ploy. Begins to squeal in the enemy's language about the unsafe distance, when already 5 seconds as he stopped at a traffic light. Good thing she turns off.
Comment: There are, of course, firmware in English, and instructions on the firmware on the Internet resources, but it would be worth bothering for the Russian-language firmware.
The decisive criteria for the purchase were the wi-fi communication functions, and the ADAS function. The quality of the video there are others.
I thought you could at least turn on / off remotely.
Slightly disappointed in this product, but the desire to return did not appear.

Evaluation 5
Advantages: Quality of performance, recording
Disadvantages: Chinese firmware, but it can be solved
There is no possibility to configure from under the windscreen - the recorder does not see existing applications for action cameras.
Comment: The registrar more than corresponds to the ratio "price / quality".
The menu icons are quite informative, but those who want English can flash the English firmware by changing the serial from Chinese (only registrars with a Chinese serial have seen on the market) to an international one. How to do this is described in detail on w3bsit3-dns.com. Naturally, if it opens up, then the store’s warranty (and only give it) you lose. Well, okay.
About the nuances.
I didn’t have 15 cm of charging cable on the minivan to reach the rear cigarette lighter, I decided to use a small USB extension cable.
In the place of attachment of the suction cup to the bracket there is a slight play, within which you can slightly change the position of the recorder. But only with the effort of a hand, from shaking, even strong, nothing slips.
The suction cup is held like teeth stuck.
The card is needed at least class 10, at 1080p 60 fps 32 GB is enough for 3 hours with a tail. The video bitrate in this mode is 22 Mbps.
The shock sensor is quite sensitive - even the roughened works on a bad primer.
After changing the default firmware instead of turning off the screen, a clock with a date appears - it turns off, because even a small illumination sometimes strongly interferes at night.

In general, we can say that I am more than pleased with my purchase, despite the fact that I was not given a formal guarantee.

Disadvantages: There are no such

Advantages: Convenient small mount. The quality of shooting is amazing. Very simple control, say so intuitive.
Disadvantages: NOT! For the money there!
Comment: Someone writes about the Chinese language. And tell me why is he at all? The icons on the screen are intuitive and simple, even in Russian, even if English has been written, it does not matter. The application for the iPhone in English is just as easy and understandable; all settings can be made from it without reaching the registrar itself. Chose a store with a 1 year warranty. Shops with the cheapest price do not want to be responsible and do not give a guarantee. Well, a maximum of two weeks. My opinion is that it is better not to find a registrar for such money!

Evaluation 5
Advantages: Just the best choice for 4tr. Something more interesting is already from 10.
Disadvantages: The mount is not threaded, like most cameras, but with a rectangle.
Comment: Re-flashing from the Chinese version to the international takes 2 minutes and does not require additional programs.

Evaluation 4
Advantages: Details will be in the comments on each item!
1) High-quality case, which practically does not creak.
2) The suction cup holds perfectly and the mount itself is successful.
3) The quality of shooting is good day and night, but it would be a bit better for Xiaomi!
4) Wi-Fi and convenient mobile application.
5) Finally, microUSB, and not mini in the majority.
6) The battery, for this price category, holds for a long time!
7) Practically not heated.
8) Can be used instead of an action camera if connected to a powerbank.
Disadvantages: As such, he did not notice any flaws for a month and a half of active exploitation, only small ones, such as not very fast Wi-Fi (3-4 minutes to download a 450-500 MB movie) and a slight gap between the mount and the suction cup, but does not interfere with smoothly shooting video (not dangles while driving even in the pits).
Under the active operation refers to the frequent driving through the city, every weekend in the country and about every 2-3 days I connect a smartphone for interesting moments.
Comment: The review is great, but in short, for 5-6 tr. you get quality, everything you need and no heaps of unnecessary functions!
And now, who does not break read! :) Very long I went through the registrar and accidentally saw Xiaomi ... I was searching in the price range of 5000 - 8000 rubles.
1) The quality of the case is at a height, when driving there is no vile cod attachment or device body, only sometimes you can hear the attachment in the pits (SOMETIMES!)
2) After the purchase, I stuck the suction cup and forgot! It stuck tightly to the frontal one and, with great effort, could not tear it off :) Although, right next to the suction cup itself there is a slight gap between the plastic part of the mount and the suction cup, but it is so small that when the vehicle is moving, the device does not hang. Most likely it is treated.
3) The quality of shooting is better to choose immediately the maximum 1296 30 fps; 1080 30 fps is not very (60 fps is not reproduced everywhere, as practice has shown). At night, too, great shoots. But it seems to me, Xiaomi could better make the quality of the video, because With cameras in smartphones they have everything great! (exactly for this 4 points)
4) A cool Wi-Fi thing, you connect from the mobile to the registrar and download the video to your smartphone, as already mentioned in another review - without dancing with a tambourine! (recorders with two memory cards are now past century)
5) I haven’t yet seen the microUSB connector in my experience, but I can say about miniUSB that it’s loose on almost all recorders and crashes! Well, in circulation, micro is more common and easier to find if needed.
6) The battery really takes a long time for this price range, especially considering that Wi-Fi is working. I have never had time to discharge it when downloading several clips (the maximum was 5 pieces, which is about 20 minutes), and the device did not even indicate a low battery charge.
7) It is very surprising that the body is just warm. dealt with different recorders and everyone was hot or very hot! Yes, and about many models they write that they are very hot.
8) Still only in the plans to try :)

Evaluation 4
Advantages: 1. Easy operation
2. Unplugged
3. Good video quality
4. wi-fi
5. High quality workmanship (including bracket-suction cups).
6. Ultra compact and ultra light
7. Price
Disadvantages: 1. Menu and instruction in Chinese only (settings - via computer).
2. Poor equipment (but a cigarette lighter plug with an additional USB input).
3. Light body (black = light gray). Hide will not work, although very small. Through the windshield immediately noticeable.
Comment: Bought because of complete disappointment in previous purchases. Tired of poor quality, constant glitches and the unreliability of the Chinese nobrand. Chose from several options: ASUS, HP, Garmin and a pair of Korean brands. A well-known Chinese smartphone maker has won due to its price and video quality.

Immediately I warn you: a device for those who do not need “three in one” (video + GPS + radar). There is only video in the long run. In the Russian Federation mainly the Chinese version is on sale. Absolutely everything is just hieroglyphs. It is necessary from the site w3bsit3-dns.com to put a Russian-language application through which the registrar is configured. Then, via wi-fi, it connects to your phone / tablet, and it becomes beautiful. But it is in the first days when you play with him. Then he stably plows, and you forget about him.

The quality is very good. The picture is pleasant to the eye, the video is very stable, wide angle, but the distortion is very moderate.
By the readability of the numbers, it is still inferior to expensive recorders with Ambarella processors: A7LA70D, A7LA85 and A7LA75 and large matrices. The rooms are visible mainly on the car in front. On the counter and in the next row - only under very good lighting conditions and at close range. The issue of the readability of the numbers involved for a very long time. In the end, I decided that this was not the most important thing (the majority of registrars also cannot write down the numbers of the cars, with the exception of the one in front).

I put the card 16 GB (class 10). Writes files at maximum resolution for 3 minutes. About 7 hours of recording breaks, i.e. A whole day of traveling can be entirely recorded (cyclical recording, of course). .Mp4 files
I don’t know what the chip is, in theory, not in the format of a video container. But the two previous registrars created. MOV files that could not be mounted or even quickly viewed by clicking on the slider to quickly find the right place to write. They were constantly hanging, buggy ...Immediately no problems. Video player just flies.

Advantages: Brand product from the manufacturer.
Disadvantages: When buying the body did not provide a glass of martini with ice.
Comment: This is the "killer" of all registrars. The body has everything you need and nothing superfluous in the form of gps or radar, they are replaced by the Yandex navigator, which you already use. But the most important thing: it is not a retail, not outbid and not a mediator. This is a manufacturer that improves the world. For technical characteristics, except for the price and the above, the registrar does not stand out from other quality recorders. I do not put the body five, because I do not read reviews from 1 or 5.
Sergeyev Vasily May 15, 2016, Moscow \ Experience: less than a month
Evaluation 4
Advantages: Good video quality.
Wide viewing angle.
The case is made of high-quality plastic (from the same as the smartphones of this company).
Compactness (the recorder itself may not be the smallest, with a compact sucker and a compact charger).
Powerful car charger with optional USB connector.
A simple connection to a smartphone or tablet (without dancing with a tambourine).
Actual today connectors (microUSB, can be powered from the powerbank).
Disadvantages: Low battery life from the built-in battery.
Comment: For me, in the DVR, the main thing is uninterrupted operation, that is, "set and forget", if necessary, throw off the video. I chose for a long time, reading reviews about others, including more expensive models, and in each I found "failures in work".
In addition, I watched a huge number of videos from different (more expensive) DVR models, watched a nightly video, did freeze-frames and did not find a single model to read the numbers of oncoming cars. That is, there are DVRs stuffed with all sorts of options, positioning themselves as a quality product in the upper price segment, and the video is comparable to the one that this model shoots. "And if there is no difference, then why pay more?" When you exceed the speed, the camera takes you off and comes fine, the car number is well read regardless of the presence of light, weather, speed of movement or pollution of the number. It is a pity that DVRs do not produce comparable image quality.
