Xiaomi already has several car cameras and they regularly bring new models with the YI brand. That's why it's harder to choose the best one, well YI Ultra Dash Camera offers 2,7K resolution and price in EU stock, which is advantageous.

Excellent price in EU stock
AliExpress has prepared a good offer for us in a Spanish warehouse for a YI camera with a 16 GB microSD card in the package. So you will also have storage space.
Delivery is very fast and only takes 3-7 days. Of course, you no longer pay any additional fees from the EU warehouse, the price is final. For comparison, this camera is currently sold in Slovak stores for high € 98, which is more than 100% more expensive than the Aliexpress offer.
Xiaomi YI Ultra Dash Camera 2.7K
Video from the manufacturer:
Resolution up to 2,7K and custom display
Conventional cameras have a resolution of 1080p, which is Full HD, and therefore 2,7K is above standard with twice the size. In the shots you will see all brands, license plates of vehicles and details in beautiful sharpness.
The camera aperture is f / 1.9, sensor size 1 / 3 " and has 4 MPx. Unlike other YI cameras, the Ultra Dash Camera stands out.
A great feature is its own 2,7" display, thanks to which you can see in real time what is currently being filmed. You can use it without the need for additional control equipment.
Wide shot 1,25 GHz processor
The video will be literally ultra-wide, thanks to the viewing angle 140°. Thanks to YI Ultra, you will see so much more. Shoots at 2688 x 1520 at 30fps, 2560 x 1440 at 30fps, 1920 x 1080 at 30 / 60fps and 1280 x 720 at 30fps.
The A17 @ pair works inside 1.25Ghz + A7 @ 800Mhz dual core processors. They process video into the H.264 codec. The camera also supports voice control.
WiFi and emergency filming
thanks WiFi it is possible to connect to a smartphone and control the camera remotely. It can also view live video from the camera.
YI Ultra has built-in gyroscopic sensorswhich, in the event of an accident or other situation, can switch themselves on emergency shooting. This function is especially useful in a damaged situation.
I have used Cel-tec cameras for many years, but last year (2021) their offer is desperate, so I thought that Yi (hence Xiaomi) could be a good choice.
NO!
The camera is user-friendly.
You cannot change the length of the loop it records to, which is ONE MINUTE.
Cannot lock the current recording manually.
And the service application won't connect to the camera for God's sake, even if you have a phone from Xiaomi, but that shouldn't matter.
I personally recommend avoiding this camera.
