Earlier today (25th May 2020), Xiaomi officially released the Mi Smart Dashcam 2K. As the name suggests, it is a new dashcam for your car with a design akin to a regular camera. The product is priced at 399 Yuan (roughly 56 US Dollars) and can be purchased from JD.com.

The Mi Smart Dashcam 2K is the second entry in the series from Xiaomi. It brings various improvements in picture quality over its predecessor and can even record videos at high resolution, up to 1600p. This is just above the 1440p resolution for 2K and is enabled through the camera’s OV OS05A10 back-illuminated image sensor. This sensor has an f/1.8 aperture.

This large aperture enables an ample amount of light to be taken in by the sensor, which helps to improve both image quality and performance during low light scenarios. Furthermore, the dashcam has a super wide-angle lens with a 140-degree wide field of view. This would technically allow users to cover all three lanes, reducing the blind spot in the overall video capture.

The Mi Smart Dashcam 2K sports a 3-inch IPS display on the rear. This screen displays the footage in real-time. The device also supports intelligent voice control, allowing users to relay commands like recording a video or taking a picture directly. Xiaomi has also placed an emphasis on clearing up the picture quality with improved 3D noise reduction technology and WDR (wide dynamic technology). The image produced is made from multiple frames to contrast the images for the best result.
