teomingern 6th Gear August 21, 2018 Share August 21, 2018 (edited) I second this. I'm a fan of Xiaomi's car cams too, they are cheap, high quality and reliable. I already have to use it once when I was rear ended at a red light.Pity they don't do front and back. Was thinking of installing two cameras... but they're separate streams... not sure if can be installed like that or not... it's a much cheaper solution to what I have now... how did you get the footage of the rear since the camera is front facing and you got rear-ended?

Oh yes it's only a front camera. The camera showed that I was already stationary for a period of time and then the car jerked forward during the impact. That was sufficient evidence. There was no contest from the bus company. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mengami 2nd Gear August 23, 2018 Share August 23, 2018 Can they be remotely connected to a HP app? They have their own android mobile app. You can change settings using the app or onboard camera. Firmware update is done via the app too, I've done a few times and its very stable. Connection is by wifi. Don't try transferring data through wifi though, takes forever. Jus pop the sd card info your pc is the best way to transfer media. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

teomingern 6th Gear August 24, 2018 Share August 24, 2018 I have two new sets. i can lend you one set to play with it. i bought it last month during their promo S$25.60 per set. Do you intend to mount one front and one back? Is that why you have 2 sets? Do let me know... cos I was very interested in the Xiaomi car cams but due to not having a rear channel, I decided not to follow up... interested in how to connect it up and concealed cos I understand the connection is done via USB cables and not the usual link to the fuse box...

mengami 2nd Gear August 24, 2018 Share August 24, 2018 Just spoke to a colleague about this, realise it depends on what you want. For him the file writing process has to be protected in the event of a power cut, otherwise the file before an accident may be corrupted. Some want front and rear so they can be passive witnesses. Some want GPS to add another layer of evidence in case of accident. Some want 24-hour recording. So I guess you need to know your requirements really well.
