YI Smart dash cam Pros and Cons:

One of the cheapest cameras around
Super HD Video Quality
Land Departure Warning Systems

Easy Installation
Ultra-High Sensitive Images

Cons:

No built-in GPS
There is no multilingual menu support
No rear view camera

YI Smart dash cam design:

The camera, which can be bought in either grey or gold, comes into quite a compact design. The device is small enough, but it does not compromise on functionality. The design includes a 2.7 inch LCD screen and a 2 USB ports. The package consists of a suction mount and a power adaptor. The suction mount makes it easier for you to remove the device while it offers adequate adhesion to any surface. Although at times the mount gave way, overall it provides sufficient protection.

The camera is compatible with a smartphone application; however, the inbuilt menu is only available in Chinese, which may put some users off. The six sensor technology is capable of detecting and warning drivers; however, you will be unable to use the GPS unless you buy an external module. The ADAS system works well, but it reduces the video capacity to Full HD and makes you unable to choose the other options.
