This video is made from two clips. The first is a time-lapse using the Git2 w/4.35mm lens using V 1.8 1229 firmware and the second clip was recorded on an SJCAM SJ5000plus with version 3.3.6 firmware. Final resolution was 2560 x 1440p which is between the two cameras. "20190120 Toronto Sundown01"

@wolfyDrg: Which version of the Firmware are you using right not?

Does anyone know what the "Chip" is for? Does it go in the GPS or the camera? This will not help me because the vendor will not sell to Canada.

I think a lot of issues of the A119S have their start with the lens. It seems that Viofo wanted to emphasize superior low light performance, starting with the sensor and enhancing this with the 135 degree f1.6 lens which is the brightest used in this type of device so far. But it has not...

@viofo: "The motion detection sensitivity can be adjusted by firmware. Also we are planning to improve the parking mode feature in future." I did not find an adjustment for optical motion detection sensitivity in firmware 1.2. Are you thinking of "G-force" detection? Summary: The A119S...

@Peylix: Yeah. I took a longer look at the frames I captured. A refocus might help a bit, but the lens goes generally soft off axis. From what you are saying, and from what I have seen, I think I would like to try just decreasing sharpening and see how it looks. I never saw the results from...

I am looking at a different issue and I just ran across this discussion about over-sharpening. The problem is complex, and I think I would like to reduce sharpening too, but we have to look at the problem a bit more thoroughly. I was wondering why the sharpening was set so high on the A119S...

It is a collection of the most accurate information I have so far. If you have no use for accurate information, fine. Sometimes I post my opinions, sometimes I don't. Does it really matter? Either way, wouldn't you come to your own conclusions?

This is the most unexpected thing I have found out about this pair of camcorders. These are frames captured from clips recorded at 1920 x 1080p @ 30 fps. from both devices. As I mentioned, the YCS.1216 is mounted lower and farther to the right than I would generally mount it -- too far for a...

The following are some YouTube clips using "Black" version Yi Smart Dash Cams. I do not know anything in particular about these clips. [For some reason, the two video links I posted first are now dead. Although I did not study the videos in detail, I did not see anything wrong with them...

One last comparison, NOT in a car: I made a video test set comparing the YCS.1216 at 1080p against the SJCAM SJ5000plus running at 1296p. Opps! The server refuses to accept the upload of the files. The images are too big. For now, I will just say that the YCS.1216 seems to need more green...

Night Drive: Speed at the time of these captures was probably about 60 kph. The car is approaching an intersection so it might be slower. A118C has WDR on and no exposure compensations. The A118C was set to 720p because that is what I prefer to use for dash cams. The Yi YCS1216 was set to...

Comparison frame captures from Viofo A118C v Yi YCS.1216: The vehicle speed was probably 50 - 60 kph -- roughly the same as the cars in front. Distance was about 2 car-lengths. [2017-04-13 added above.] These images almost match up in time (they might be "1 frame off") and both are among the...

I thought about not bothering to post more the "confusion" issue, but there is something important to end users: Let me make this much clear: What happened when I was researching this Yi CarDVR was that I went first to a XiaoYi website (I think it was their Canadian (.ca) website but it could...

I have heard that about the company name and I was going to use "Xiaoyi", but the whole name situation is odd. If you check, there are websites under both "Xiaomi" and "Xiaoyi". Oh, and "Yi Technologies"? And then there's the "Miui" name. But I found it when I searched for "Xiaomi" so I...

SUMMARY: This is not a review. This is a collection of the best information I have about this product. Some of it is from my own testing and use. Some is from researching on the Web -- including right here in "DashCamTalk.com". I will try to add some useful links later. Known: The Black...

This is a link to the 2nd version of this video. If you saw the original, this one is not much different. The video is a 4K "video-lapse" which means that the time lapse was made inside the camcorder as a single normal video file instead of individual still images which are re-processed into a...

Aha! I just was not holding the buttons long enough. Ok, I do not need that change. But it does bring up another possible set of changes: If you touch the power button when the SJ5000+ is "Off" it turns on too easily. There should be more delay. And regarding these "zoom" functions, the...

Re: "jbinx" in Message 26 Much thanks! You are right. I meant the SJ5000+. But I think that the video probably is using the SJ4000+ as stated in its title, so my comment is probably wrong overall regarding that part of the video. That is also interesting. When I watched the video, I was a...
