They're not fake, just (effectively) from a different division of the same company.

Quality is very good, and hard to beat for the price.

Xiaomi does not make a dashcam ( http://www.mi.com/en/list/ ).

The Yi dashcam is often called Xiaomi as they are a major investor.

Think of Mi as the phone and tablet etc. parent company and Yi as the dash/action camera division and you're closer to the truth.

If you get stuck for one, it may be a bit more expensive @ 12.61 + postage/collection, but I got one of the trascend suction mounts that Halfords used to sell from memoryc in Celbridge. Just search 'transcend suction mount' on adverts and it should come up.

Any particular brand of 32GB card recommended for this camera?
Getting a couple of items from Amazon, so will add it in.

How do they justify insisting on Location permissions being on constantly for the Yi dashcam app to "find nearby devices" when it connects to dashcam over WiFi?? And once the app is connected to the dashcam it
STILL won't let you turn off location permissions?

I've uninstalled and will only re install when I want to check videos

It is supposed to be able use the app to record GPS speed and location along with the footage but I have no idea how it works.

MyMemory are based in the Channel Islands so you could be hit for VAT on import (there's a £1.95 delivery charge that would push it over the €22 limit)

Doltanian · 29-11-2017 7:16pm

Received mine today, it only comes with a StickyPad mount so I ordered a Suction cup mount also as I want to get the positioning right before permanently mounting it with the 3M sticky pad. Looks like a nice piece of kit so far.

There's a lightning deal on this ATM for £30 with just 15 mins left, afaik it's the same model anyway.

Use Parcel Motel, Address Pal, or DPD Parcel Wizard, wouldn't it be classified as an internal UK delivery then to avoid VAT?

d31b0y · 01-12-2017 9:12am

Channel Islands aren't part of the UK. Not sure what the VAT rates would be though.

I'm finding the focus to be a bit crap. No options to change in the settings, on a first cursory glance. I haven't done much playing with it. Low light with a bit of rain, focus is on the windshield and you get nothing but blur ahead of you. Maybe I am being fussy...
