Thanks to loop video recording function, the Yi action camera can be used as a car DVR.

It is a little inconvenient that when you check the shooting screen via the smart phone display, the picture is not synchronized simultaneously, because the Yi camera itself does not have a display.It cannot shoot 4K video and neither has image stabilization. But as the same with the GoPro, it features a waterproof shell with it, which makes it fully waterproof up to 4 meters. Though It does not have any internal storage; you can insert a  memory card supporting up to 64GB. It has got a Sony’s back-illuminated 16-megapixel image sensor and Ambarella A7LS image processor. The following is the detailed specification:

Specs

  • Sony’s back-illuminated 16-megapixel image sensor

  1. I purchased this camera and when I try to turn it on the three leds go solid red. The power ring and wifi led dont light up at all. They stay solid until I remove the battery. Cant do a reboot. Any help apprecaited!

  2. You can upgrade the firmware or restore the factory settings.After connecting to the smartphone, you can find the “factory data reset”.Or you can press the power button and WIFI button for a while, after a “DI” sound, it will be reset to factory data.For other inquiries,you can also check our blog FAQ.This is the link for your reference:http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.php/2015/03/12/the-25-important-faq-about-xiaomi-yi-action-camera-you-must-know/.
