    Stream from Yi 4K via router (for OBS)

    Hey there guys, I've seen a lot of stuff related to streaming, mostly the creation of QR Codes and bitrate mods which is awesome. But is there a way to make the cam connect to a router so it can be used as a source for OBS? Perhaps via autoexec? P.S my screen is cracked so I'm stuck with...

    Yi 4k custom bitrate mod and telnet.

    Man do yourself a favour and get your head around bitrates as you're going to waste a whole lot of time achieving nothing. Increasing the bitrate of a H.264 file by reencoding it in another format (or the same) is a fools errand. It's like getting a jpg and saving it as a TIF. All you get is a...

    Xiaomi Yi Camera: GUI Control & Configure from PC (Win/Lin/Mac)

    Well incase it can help, here's info from Camera_get.py and debug.txt from CC.pyw . I had to remove spaces in the regex to get the scripts to work. The app almost works, can get battery and sdcard usage, but Connection times out with exception "preview_status". Then clicking any of the buttons...

    Xiaomi Yi Camera: GUI Control & Configure from PC (Win/Lin/Mac)

    What do we need to do to get this rolling on Yi 4K? I read a lot of commands don't work, but some do. It would be good to find out what's available and have a Yi 4K mode. How can I help?

    Yi 4k custom bitrate mod and telnet.

    Hey guys, Had fun poking around via telnet. I'm a bit out of my league with busybox, I don't know the rules with embedded linux, but I did notice ftpd is present! Considering the increased file sizes with these bitrate hacks, it would be awesome to have a script automatically offload files to a...

    Suggestion: little bit of decresing red color in YI COLOR mode

    While we're at it we need to get them to revise their 'flat' mode. All the demos I've seen show just as much shadow and highlight clipping as the normal mode, so there's obviously no contrast reduction, they've just turned the saturation down. It's like they've quickly looked at GoPro's Protune...

    Suggestion: little bit of decresing red color in YI COLOR mode

    Yes! I have sent them an email about this. Yi 4K always fails in side by side comparisons with GoPro 5 because of the color balance is way off, skies and grass are grey looking because there is too much red (actually magenta) in the shadows. If they fix this (and crush blacks slightly) the image...

    Best action cam for low light?

    Well no mystery there. I was kinda hoping @Nigel might comment as to whether those particularly bad artifacts are present in his original video (Sidmouth Fireworks Git1).

    Best action cam for low light?

    Great thanks for the videos, it shows a lot. Git1 has good light, petty about the bitrate, it looks atrocious. How much of those compression artifacts are youtube would you say? does it look that bad straight off camera?

    Best action cam for low light?

    Ok right, no just interested in hacks for disabling noise reduction and sharpening so I can do it in post. Also, with Yi 4K+ having 120mbp+ data rate, a hack could potentially grab 1080p RAW, something like magic lantern. Its really quite amazing how good an image can be pulled out of super...

    Best action cam for low light?

    Ok that makes sense, thanks for the info. Although I appreciate the answers, I think maybe you don't understand my question. I am aware of the shortcomings of action/dash cams, and I don't wish for magical hardware changes, theres nothing to be sorry about :) But each has a different...

    Best action cam for low light?

    I'm aware these cameras are geared towards daylight, but their convenience and size makes them useful elsewhere, they are also incredibly cheap for the quality of video you get compared to DSLR. The fact is that [in low light] some are ok, some are bad, and some are downright terrible. I'm just...

    Best action cam for low light?

    Thanks for the tip. Would you care to elaborate on why you think this? Any ideas where I might find such samples? On a side note, I'm tempted to wait for the Yi 4K+ as the specs would suggest top of the line quality and I can only assume that goes hand in hand with decent low light performance...

    Best action cam for low light?

    I have 2 DSLRs which I love shooting RAW on magic lantern. I'm looking for action cam for pocket size/convenience of being able to quickly clamp them to things on stage or peoples instruments. I had a GoPro Hero 3 black, and Protune mode was a usufel for me, but it sucked in low light, and I...

    Best action cam for low light?

    Just wondering if anyone knows which models suck the least in low light. I'd mainly be using it for filming live music situations so there'd be more light than a dark street at night, but certainly no direct sunlight. Important for my applications are: Good optics Decent low light performance...
