Blueskysea B1W app
It’s a really nice, easy and quick app
Videos
Recorded in 1920×1080 30fps with an overall bit rate of 12.5 Mb/s.
Final thoughts
This is a very small and discreet dashcam with good quality videos for day and night. A good budget dashcam.
The B1W app is very easy and straightforward to use.
The B1W is also a good candidate to be used as a rear dashcam with its small design.

Hi there.. Which dashcam would u recommend more? This or Xiaomi 70Mai Dashcam or Xiaomi Mijia Dashcam? Thanks a lot in advance.. 😁
Jeremy Wong · March 8, 2018 at 10:20 am
I would go with the Mijia dashcam as the specs is a tad higher than 70mai. 70mai has a more discreet design.

Hello, do you know where we can get this locally in Malaysia?
Jeremy Wong · March 8, 2018 at 6:43 pm
I haven’t seen anyone bring the B1W in to sell

What are your thoughts on this dashcam vs the Xiaomi ones? Best dashcam for under RM200?
Jeremy Wong · March 8, 2018 at 7:21 pm
B1W is same like 70mai but B1W using capacitor instead of a battery…

Maybe can try reflashing the firmware from https://www.blueskysea-inc.com/ to your B1W and see as I can’t remember if there is a reset hole on the B1W.
