Instructions for xiaomi yi russian camera. The Xiaomi Yi Action Camera user manual has been Russified. Factory settings for connecting to the camera via wifi

The Xiaomi Yi Action Camera arrived. This is my first Chinese action camera... That's the first camera in this format. Up to what date, I have taken more videos with DSLRs/mirrorless cameras/phone/miles. There is no need and need to try action cameras and less. One of these cameras was Xiaomi Yi, a well-known Chinese brand.

They gave me the camera for testing. To be honest, I asked for the SJ5000+ because the buzz about it seemed overwhelming at first glance, but they sent it to Xiaomi. I'm sure that in about an hour I'll have 1-2 more cameras, and I can make it even better. Getting ahead of myself, I’ll say that the Xiaomi camera was both good and bad.

Press the Xiaomi Yi Action camera Chinese online store Banggood. There you can also find a description, technical characteristics, the price and the ability to negotiate. They are expected to sell for $80-90; in Moscow they are more expensive.

You can also get a camera from Aliexpress. There are a million options with it, for example, the axle is sold with a set of fasteners, an aquabox, or a bare camera, you can choose.

Life hack - when shopping on Aliexpress, you can get cashback up to 11% through (they have a browser plugin, an add-on for phones). I wrote everything very clearly at my place, what it is and how to profit from it.

Pros and cons of the Xiaomi Yi camera

Minuses and first knowledge

I’ll start from the very beginning, from the beginning. I had to spend a few years, but first I could start using the camera. It's been too long! I’ve already heard it to the point that, having just taken it in and without instructions, I intuitively understood everything. I remember buying it right before the flight to Poland, and then at the airport, just taking it out of the packaging and starting to rustle. I respect you, the camera is screwed up, but everything is clear. And here is a small box with a couple of buttons, and please spend the first 2 years on the Internet.

  • When you use the camera, you seem to be stuck in the photo mode, even though it’s a video camera! Then I press the shutter button, and the camera hesitates to take pictures. It's not logical. Moreover, as soon as I switch the video mode and turn on the camera, it doesn’t remember anything and when turned on, it switches back to photo mode. So, you need to set up in what mode the camera will turn on, and also about how to change it, below.
  • The camera settings can only be changed through the program on the smartphone, which is not available in Google Play. Android version It is necessary to use 4.1 and have a non-Intel processor on the phone (for now, please do not mention this information, but please read this information).UPDATE. From Google Play supplement already є.
  • There is no screen, please point to the menu.
  • The indicators are illogical, and I have no idea how everything works.
  • When the camera is turned on, the head indicator lights up and the signal sounds. However, this does not mean that the camera is ready for use. You need to check for another 10-15 seconds. Why couldn’t it be possible to signal this very moment? UPDATE. After updating the firmware, the camera starts up in a few seconds, and the indicators now blink more intelligently.
  • The camera gets very hot when you transfer photos and videos from it.
  • The camera is even more sensitive to the cable, I’ve even paid for the third one. UPDATE. You just need to transfer it from the flash drive through the card reader.
  • The cover that covers the USB port, flash drives and HDMI is small and easy to use. I would cut it from the fastenings to the body.
  • Complete set of delivery: only camera, battery, USB cable. The Travel version also has a monopod.
  • A third-party monopod is not suitable, since the opening for the screw is already short, do not screw the screw to the end and the camera starts working. The decision is to create a gum puck and place it on the screw of the monopod. On the other hand, manually, I would like the division to be more standard.
  • Some copies have a broken focus - sharp sounds nearby, a muffled sound - you just have to close the microphone with your finger (not without a box!), and there is a problem with self-discharge in the damaged area. The solution is, but they are non-trivial, we will talk about them below. I have no problems with the sound.

Advantages of the camera and other advantages

  • Rise up. Having written this point, I want all action cameras to be very small. It’s just that now I don’t want to shoot a video because it’s so cumbersome.
  • Video. It’s bad, I know, I’ve been blessed with venom. However, there is no need to equalize, only with Sony a6000 and Canon 7d, for which it is not at all correct to equalize. I'm asking for details for the blog for sure.
  • Low price. Costs around $70-90, plus or minus, the green bits are expensive. And now, as I said, you can buy it for $70.
  • Through the adapter you can use GoPro accessories.
  • It's robot time. The 1080p 25fps mode produces approximately 1 year and 50 minutes.

I will add my comments even after the main nutrition has been completed. Taking an action camera is really cool! The axis is completely buried! It’s really easy that you can take it from the original casserole and then, no matter what, you’ll soon get rid of it. With a stretched arm, you can’t feel the rage, but you don’t touch the mirror when your hand is pressed onto the back of your neck. It’s handy, since there are few buttons, you won’t press anywhere while you twist them and transfer them from hand to hand during the hour of shooting (that’s why I shouldn’t take video).

I won’t write about the brilliance of the photos and videos. There are a lot of applications at the border, it’s not difficult to know from a skin glance, from a textual one, from what’s on YouTube. As I already said, the video’s less viscosity is overwhelming, only the stabilizer doesn’t come out, and in Russia it’s shaking. The quality of photography is not particularly poor, since it is a limited camera and a smartphone. Below are a few photos and a short video.

Photo

Photo without any editing. The article displays the resizes, and by clicking on the resize, the original will open in Lightbox, and you can download and view it. Well, I’ll just ask you to enchant (the photo is sent to the original).

Video

The first part of the video was filmed on a Xiaomi Yi Action camera, a friend of the part Sony camera a6000. By specially inserting a piece of video, without disturbing anything with the sound, so that its thickness and brightness were realized.

Features of the Xiaomi Yi camera

I have listed the disadvantages of being concerned with particularities. Moreover, for one there is a direct minus-minus, for another it is not warta respect. My thought, perhaps, you have already come to your senses, so go ahead and understand it through the prism of your education. Tim, whoever picks up a camera first, I bet he will turn out to be a little brown, since most information from the forums is omitted.

Camera control

Controlling the camera, as far as I understand, is not necessary. There are two buttons: the first is Up/Off and Photo/Video, and the other is the shutter release for video or photo. The camera blinks with short presses, switches with Photo/Video with other short presses on this button, and blinks for a long time. The shutter button also works as standard for video mode: one press - Start, another press - Stop; for photo mode: pressure = photo.

Next to the camera power button there is a light ring indicator, the color of which indicates the level of battery charge: blue 50-100%, purple 15-49%, red 1-14%.

And the axis of indication of modes can get confused. There is a red LED next to the shutter button, which indicates the mode. Do you know the indicator's algorithm? It is as follows: if the indicator does not light up, this is photo mode, if it lights up, then video mode, if it constantly flickers, then video recording is in progress. After all, there was nothing complicated, but I had known all my life that the burning red light bulb meant a video recording, but I didn’t even realize it, because everything was plugged in. All action cameras have the same principle.

Dali. The indication of the harvesting process is a little confusing, I would only mean the shutter release. The Xiaomi camera has a secondary indication: press the button (squeak), after an hour the shutter is released (squeak + blink). The “active hour” can be 1-2 seconds.

Camera settings can be changed via smartphone

All camera settings can only be changed through smartphone programs. It also has the same terrible “Photo” mode when the camera is turned on. I respect even more difficult decisions. Not only does it require you to take your phone with you, but the connection to the phone means that the camera ceases to be an independent device. What if you don’t have a smartphone, it’s malfunctioning, it’s out of charge? If I wanted to switch between video recording modes, there would be just one button with cyclic switching. Before that, I would like, for example, to use a data camera for other people to buy, and then I would have to put an add-on on my phone. Why is there no internet?

Well done, I would like to get my money back so that it would be easier than my mother’s menu right in the camera. It was a good idea to use the supplement, everything works without problems and the functionality is good. It’s great that you can place your camera somewhere, connect your phone, and see what’s included in the frame.

Connection to a computer

An upcoming nuance that I had already overestimated in the minuses - sensitivity to the point of bitterness USB cable. Moreover, the boards allow you to remove the original cord from the kit. It’s funny, I checked 3 cables and only one connected to the camera (every other time), even though all the devices are working and through them I can easily transfer everything to my smartphone. With others, when connected to a MacBook, the camera either did not charge, or hung tightly so that the battery had to be pulled out. Judging by the forum, on Windows everything is the same, but everything is stored in a specific instance, which does not have such problems. Either on Windows or on Mac OX, the camera is listed as a flash drive.

Therefore, you need a card reader for microSD or a card reader for SD and an adapter from microSD to SD. I am now repenting of this very option. You can also download photos and videos by transferring them to your smartphone for additional programs.

Firmware

The firmware can be downloaded on the official website or installed through the add-on. You need to know your serial number, what is located under the battery on the camera. On the right, the camera has 6 revisions, and the firmware of them varies. If the firmware is subject to another revision, you can remove the broken camera. It’s better to download only the serial number on the website.

A list of problems

Reportedly, we are sorry, but we have mercy on you, most of the problems have already been found, since the camera has been on sale for several months now and the smart people have not slept. Like the camera components (microphone, lens) various virobniks, And so everything should be stored as a specific instance, to whom to spare, and to whom not. It happens that the focus is broken, but the sound is good, or the focus is poor, but the sound is dull.

  • Bad focus. Most often the problem occurs with black-colored lenses. You need to disassemble the camera and rotate the lens (instructions one and two). You may not see everything at once.
  • Quiet sound. To paint it a little, you need to disassemble the camera and clean up the tissue from the microphone. However, it is not always possible to detect anything special from the sound, only because the microphone has burned out. Search YouTube for video instructions.
  • Self-charging at the vimknenomu station. It is necessary to select and insert a dielectric under the board ( Video instructions).
  • The camera records video in bursts of 15-30 seconds, interrupting and wasting part of the video. The solution is to replace the flash drive with a brighter one and a flash drive. I have the same problem, but it appears at the end of the flash drive (if it’s already finished), also blocking.

Visnovok

Xiaomi Yi has dealt with a lot of hostility through its shoals: sorting out USB cables to connect to a computer, downloading different versions program from the forum, I googled about the work of indicators, using a rubber band for a monopod. So, having wasted the whole evening on all this confusion, instead of going out into the street and starting to take pictures. In principle, practically all shortcomings can be detected (considering the price of the device), the stench is not critical. Linking the camera to a smartphone is not stressful, and you don’t need to change the settings often, setting the mode (for example, 1080p 30fps) and using it for most situations.

The biggest minus of this is that technical problems cameras (focus, sound, self-discharge). So, they can still be found, or climb into the chamber, not a very civilized approach, it seems. My copy has a rotten sound (the focus is in order), but at the same time in China I don’t have any twists or jokes under my hand, so I can’t fix it, I’ll only get it after turning back to Moscow.

While I have a Xiaomi Yi camera, I struggle with it every now and then, just realizing that I need an on-screen camera and what it requires (I still know for sure that I need a louder sound, and it’s possible to remove the level after fixing the bug). Then you can buy your own Sony HDR-AS100V, which is also inexpensive, and it has everything from sound and focus, a screen for changing settings, and a stabilizer, even an electronic one.

Yak camera vibrati for more expensive?

I have lost my food. And what about cameras of similar sizes? beautiful yakost? Let it be more, let it only be with a vologozahist (just a plank, not for boring), let it be fastened with less force, let it be with an electronic stub, or how to write normal sound and video?

There is a lot to be said for the fact that the Action Camera format doesn’t have a lot to gain, and even if you’re going to record normal sound, if you’re snowboarding in the mountains, you’ll still put on music. Finally, you have a super-duper video, which is better for selfies, and not professional photography of landscapes or Timelapses. OK, everything is correct. We need an action camera especially for extreme sports.

What if you weren’t an extreme traveler, who didn’t want to carry a DSLR/mirrorless camera with you, and why would it be more difficult to take everything for yourself in a small box, commenting on everything you see along the way?

Chinese Xiaomi vibrator releasing his latest hit - Yi Action Camera, which was immediately nicknamed “GoPro killer”. Lightweight and compact action camera designed not only for recording video, but also for work clear photographs. At any time you can download them via Wi-Fi to your smartphone via special supplement. Read about how to use the Xiaomi Yi camera in our Russian instructions.

The procedure for installing the device

It is very easy to close the camera - just one press of the key (1) is enough. The process may produce a few beeps.

Next to the life key you can place a light indicator, the main function of which is to signal the flow of your device. If it lights up, the camera is turned off, otherwise it is obviously turned on.

Additional color display allows you to determine the current level of battery charge:

  • Blue color – high rhubarb
  • Violet - approximately half of the capacity was lost
  • Chervony - about 15% of the capacity has been lost and it’s time to charge the camera.

Vimknennya cameras

For this, it is also necessary to press the key (1), during which the pressure may take about two to three seconds. Right in front of the camera, the trichy camera signals the new person with a light and sound.

How to get rid of a loan

Capturing both photo and video materials is done using the additional button (2), which is opened to the animal. In the “photo” mode, the result is the imprinting of pictures on it, during which the creation process is accompanied by two short sound signals.

In the “video” mode, pressing this key begins the recording process (accompanied by one short sound signal), pressing again tightens the grip (at which point you will hear two short beeps).


Interchange between “PHOTO” and “VIDEO” modes

Immediately after turning off the device, switch to the “photo” mode (you can change the settings afterwards). Changing the flow mode is accomplished by gently pressing the life key (2).

  • The indicator lights up – “video” mode
  • The indicator does not light – photo mode.

Charging the battery

After this, connect the camera to the electrical energy source (UMB, electrical socket or the external port of your PC) for an additional USB -> MicroUSB interface cable and check. Connections for charging are located on the back side of the camera body under a noticeable dry cover. To fully charge the battery, you may need 60 to 80 hours.

The Xiaomi company continues to please its numerous fans by producing a variety of electronic devices. Today we are talking about a very important and colorful gadget that is gaining great popularity in Russia - the car video recorder.

Also, the Xiaomi company presented its first camera, the Yi Action Camera. One of my first thoughts was how I could use it as a video recorder in a car. However, this camera is not without a lot of necessary features: it has a daily display, but from a glance, the lens is not wide enough, the aperture is small, etc. I had a chance to post this round. Alas, as it appeared, not for long. Just recently, rumors began to appear on the Internet that the Xiaomi company is preparing to release its video recorder.

It so happened that all the new products from Xiaomi are gaining mega popularity. It is very difficult to buy devices at the start of sales, and even at a discounted price, it is no longer possible. I washed my copy on the 10th day, and removed the birch on the cob. Where to buy and install it, I’ll look at it at the end. I’ve already shared mine, now I’ll move on to take a look.

Well, the hero of today’s review is the Xiaomi Yi DVR car video recorder.

Na scho varto zvernuti uvagu. As a platform, the highly efficient dual-core YI A12 chip is being tested DSP processor, which allows you to record separately at 1296p 30fps / 1080p 60fps. The camera is equipped with a 3 megapixel matrix, which theoretically provides high light sensitivity. The lens has an f/1.8 aperture and now covers a full 165°. TFT display with a diagonal of 2.7″ and a separate area of ​​426×240 pixels.

In addition, we would like to point out that the device supports a fully developed ADAS driver assistance system, which alerts you when a vehicle is approaching in front of you and signals when the vehicle is moving ahead.

Let's marvel at how everything works.

Contents of delivery

The packaging is in a white cardboard box. The Yi logo is displayed on the front side, and a label with technical characteristics is glued to the back.

The device is located in the box of another tier, and accessories are located under it.

The package includes everything you need: a mount on the front, a charger with two USB ports for 2 and 1 A, and a 3.5 m microUSB cable.

The mounting is small, allowing you to place the video recorder wherever it is placed. windshield, as well as the car’s dashboard.

If you are concerned about the flow of confidential information, you may want to consider an information security system to help protect information security business, and also reveal facts of violation of confidentiality of information.

External appearance and specialness

The housing is made from SABIC and PC/ABS materials, resistant to wear. To coat the body, a special bright PU varnish is applied, which protects against ultraviolet radiation. The camera lens consists of six special optical lenses and an infrared light filter that neutralizes blinding light.

On the front side there is a lens and an opening for the microphone.

Mayzhe all back surface The display is occupied by 4 power buttons and two LED indicators: recording and charging.

On the left side there was a microUSB connector and a Drop button.

Z right sides- Slot for memory card in microSD format. Cards up to 64 GB are supported.

At the top end there is a speaker and a T-like connector for attaching the device to a special bracket.

Open at the bottom for cooling.

Design of the housing to the design. For cooling, the transfer device has two openings, located on the upper and lower edges. The colder wind comes through the lower ones, and the hotter wind comes out from the upper ones. As a result, the efficiency of air circulation in the device increases and heat dissipation decreases.

The quality of the materials and folding on our greatest equal. It’s just too much to get caught up in.

Display

The device has a high-penetration wide-format LCD display, 2.7″ diagonal size, 16:9 aspect ratio, 960×240 pixels.

Now I’ll look around the garniy, and at the significant illuminations of the image of the blisne. If the device is located on the upper right corner of the frontal slope, it is difficult to see what is shown on the display.

The brightness is average, with direct sleepy changes the image blooms. The rhubarb of brightness is not getting better.

Zagalom, screen side and useful for cob adjustment and periodically watching videos. In principle, it is not suitable for any purpose.

Management

The device is controlled using 4 mechanical buttons located on the back side under the screen. The buttons press without pressing, with the characteristic clatter. The sequence is as follows: photo, recording, review of the image and adjustment/adjustment.

To reset to factory settings, a Reset button has been added and located under the microUSB connector.

I'll get a job

To turn on the recorder, you need to press and hold the power button for 2 seconds. Another way is to supply video via a microUSB connector, which will automatically start video recording once turned on.

To indicate the device, two LEDs are supplied, located in the lower right corner of the front side. The red LED signals the charging of the used battery, the yellow one signals the recording mill. At the hour of recording, the yellow indicator lights up.

When you are about to record, press the leftmost button (the one with the red circle), the file is marked as readonly and the mark is added. This fragment will not be visible if the memory card ends.

The recorder supports the Smart ADAS system. For further help daily algorithms The image recognition system identifies road markings and controls the distance between vehicles in real time. In times of unsafe dosage situations, the registrar is ahead of the voice of the Chinese voices.

In words everything sounds beautiful, but in reality it doesn’t sound important. Control of the distance to the car in front works more or less correctly, but the axle in the opposite direction is even worse. The system requires ideal minds (even markings, clear roads, etc.), which, unfortunately, Russia still lacks. That’s why the registrar’s ADAS system is great for us, although it’s a very good idea.

Setting up

All adjustments are only available in Chinese. I hope that the printer will give you the ability to choose your programs. However, the menu is set up in the form of icons and everything is intuitive. Navigation through items is done using additional buttons. The specific assignments are shown above the keys.

  1. Select the type of video recording. The following separate images are available: 1920 × 1080p at 30 fps, 1920 × 1080p at 60 fps, 2304 × 1296p at 30 fps.

  1. Format the memory card. All data on the memory card will be deleted.
  2. Skidannya factory adjustments.
  3. Information about the device. Here you can find out the password for connecting via WiFi if you have forgotten it.

For more detailed adjustment video recorder, I will look at the recording files and use the CarCamera program. One problem - it’s officially out of Chinese language. Prote, they found some enthusiasts and translated it this supplement. entice I'll keep the version You can use the CarCamera program with Russian language.

Connection to the registrar is via WiFi. For the first connection, you need to specify the password in the settings section in the About devices section. You have given a name to the access point and the password can be changed in the configured programs.

Firmware

For information on various profile forums, it is not recommended to update the firmware of your smartphone via WiFi connection As a matter of fact, it is very easy to change the registrar completely. For updating software security It is necessary to use a microSD card with a capacity of 8-32 GB Class 10 with file system FAT32 and cluster size 32 KB. At the hour of renewal, do not lose your vitality, otherwise you will die.

We want to unpack the firmware V-0.08.001 from the root catalog microSD cards. We insert the memory card into the video recorder slot and connect it to life. A notification about the new update will appear on the screen of the device. Press the fourth button (setup/enable) to start the software update. Renewal in the middle takes from 2 to 5 hvilins. Once completed, the registrar will automatically re-enable.

Addendum. Make your purchases and remove as many as 100 items as soon as possible back to your account.

Caution under the hour of work and repairs

Unfortunately, the registrar is less suitable, in principle, like all other devices produced by the Xiaomi company. The camera copes with the main tasks efficiently. Having tried all the available resolutions in particular, I settled on 1920 × 1080p at 60 fps. In good faith, the registrar is doing very well.

Varto say what for from the outside looking in The registrar is so awesome that I was afraid to lose it on the frontal surface. It was necessary to gradually remove him, so that the people in the future would not hurt his legs. The device is already visible, so there is no need to lose such a toy without seeing it.

I have been very pleased with the ADAS smart system, both to its best and shortest. The presence of this function in the registrar is seen by Xiaomi Yi DVR among its competitors, and the robot is incorrect I'll get a little embarrassed. Write that there are good roads in Russia, and the driver should correct the ADAS system robot.

Advantages:

  • I’ll arrange the materials;
  • the vigor of selection;
  • support for Smart ADAS systems;
  • Possibility of connecting via WiFi;
  • Availability of video recording mode 1080p at 60 fps;
  • vartіst.

Nedoliky:

  • support for Chinese language;
  • the Smart robot of the ADAS system is incorrect;
  • There is no built-in GPS;
  • Minimal disruption of the robot due to the used battery.

What do we need?

  • Xiaomi Yi Camera;
  • Smartphone or tablet on Android or IOS OS;
  • Wi-Fi network, in any application, camera and smartphone;
  • Mi Home or Mi Camera add-on;
  • Cloud record in the Xiaomi system (can be added to an add-on).

In our opinion, we can see that the installation is set up on the basis of a smartphone with Android OS and the Mi Home add-on, translated by “smart people”. The version of the program for IOS has an English interface, but there are practically no additional features. The difference in setting up the Mi Home and Mi Camera programs is not great, so it won’t be difficult to set up on your own with another addition.

We hasten to inform you that starting from version 2.6.13, the Mi Home program will have new plug-ins that automatically begin to be activated when smart devices are connected. After their enchantment, the Russian interface will almost irrevocably be replaced by the original Chinese one. Our recommendations are to quickly update to program version 2.6.11 (remaining stable version Mi Camera add-on, translated by Russian language May number 1.1.3).

Hey, let's get started...

First of all, from the “bottoms”, and from connecting the life to the camera using the additional Micro USB connector and included charging station. You can also use a standard smartphone adapter with a 2 ampere output.

Having connected the camera to life, the indicator under the lens of the optics will continue to blink in the same color (we can change it to orange, we have different thoughts about which drive) - after which we can launch our program. First of all, you need to activate the existing Xiaomi account record or create a new one. In this case, your smartphone or tablet can be connected up to Wi-Fi limits, in what XiaomiYi practice is.

Having opened the program with an active Xiaomi account, you will be left with a large empty field. Whose field is responsible for the level of activated and configured company products.
