YI Smart Dash Camera

I was having trouble downloading videos to my iPhone. I contacted YI and their response time was excellent. They instructed me on things to try but to no avail I still was unable to download. They sent me a new camera under the 1 year warranty. I received it in less than a week. They also emailed me a prepaid label to return the original camera. When I received the new camera I had the same problem. Through email discussions they were able to resolve my issue. Wonderful and thoughtful. They are on top of responding to you quickly. If you are having the same trouble, turn off your cellular data. That does the trick. Also, reformat your sd card to fat 32.

What’s going on, Yi??? My app updated 2 nights ago, and the next day when I opened it a message appeared that the social media function was being disabled & discontinued (no big deal I thought, as I never share my dash cam pics to that function). But immediately after displaying that dialogue box, the screen went white w/ no ability to access the dash cam or control it in any way from the phone. In short, my $99 dash cam which I truly liked has suddenly become a non functioning piece of electronic junk!!! Way to go, Yi - you just killed a successful product! Fix this now, you idiots!!!

The most recent update fixed my issues with being unable to download video files to my iPhone Xs Max. I could download files to my old iPhone 6s, but not on the newer model. I email’d the developers who were quick to reply. Ultimately it proved to need an app update. They notified me to look for a new update in the next few weeks, and true to their word, the app now works on my new phone. Something to know if you’re having trouble, turn off cellular data when accessing the dash cam through the app.

The dash cam has been awesome for me! I’ve been able to see so much driving footage I wanted to look over. There’s a WiFi mode where you can see a live feed of the camera, and you can also go into the camera’s albums through the WiFi and you can also download the video sections you want.

Hi Dashcam is intuitive and solid from installation to daily use. It took me around 10 minutes to set up the wiring and it just works from there. Picture quality is really great, you can see the license plate of the car in front of it’s close enough. The video is smooth too. It stores around 3 days worth of video on my 32 GB card, it might vary based on the amount of your driving but I would say it’s enough for me. The app does nothing fancy, but has all the vital function I need to download/view videos. Download is kind of slow, but for a product at this price, I can’t ask too much. Very satisfied.
