YI Smart Dash Camera Hack 4.4.1 + Redeem Codes

This app used to be good. I used to be able to scrub videos before selecting how much video I wanted to download. Now the scrubbing doesn’t work at all.

The worst part of this app is that it refuses to connect to a camera unless I enable location sharing with the app. There is nothing on the app screen that will say (in English) that location sharing must be enabled to make the app work, and yet it is required. This is why you’re seeing all the 1 star review, a critical bug. However, I don’t believe this was a mistake. Why on earth does the app need my location? If that doesn’t scream user data spying then I don’t know what does. I have no faith in this company’s privacy practices.

There is a new update now. I’m afraid that if I take it, it might force me to grant it more permissions. It can already access my photos.

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.

Works great on my LG G7, but on my iPhone 12 mini the app is a pain. It requires location to connect to the camera’s Wi-Fi (why?) and won’t load any recorded videos to view or download unless I turn off cellular data. I’ve also had times when there was no audio in videos in the app or in the video I downloaded at the time (audio was enabled). Video quality is very poor in the app, but normal once downloaded. Overall, very disappointing

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.

Just got my camera and the camera works great and all but everything on the app is useless. I can’t view the live feed, I can’t view or save clips, and I can’t even change simple things like the name of my device. There is however a third party app where all of this works. All be it not great either, but it works. So the fact is we know it’s possible but for some reason the actual company that makes the device can’t get it working which is super annoying cause all this camera does is the same thing a camera half it’s price will do. If the app isn’t fixed before my return period ends I’ll have to be purchasing another unfortunately.

Had a Yi Dashcam for about 5 years and it has always worked from for me. Never had issues connecting to the Dashcam and reviewing saved videos.
Recently reinstalled the app and I could not connect to the Dashcam no matter what I did. I was playing with the app permissions and enabled “Local Network” and suddenly it all worked again. Disable it and the app won’t connect to Dashcam. Sound like a security issue and not sure why it’s needed.

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.

This app is a disgrace. Most of the time I get an error when trying to download clips and they corrupt. If it does actually complete the download the video doesn’t ever appear in my phone. Watching a video off the dashcam is so laggy that there is no benefit unless you download it (which, again, good luck). The app randomly saves video footage I never asked it to save. The only thing I can say is that, if you do get it to actually download anything, the video quality is really good.

Still not worth it. You can find better.
