Size: 2K 3PiecesVerified Purchase

I was a bit hesistant to buy the Yi camera device (i eventually bought the 3-pack one) because of all the negative reviews. But after a week with the devices installed, i can honestly say that most of the negative reviews are unwarranted! In summary, this is one fantastic product!

PROS:
>> It was absolutely easy to install, and this is enough reason to buy the Cam!
>> The app is a joy to use; although you cannot view all 3 cams at once, it is just as easy to access one camera at a time. Fair enough
>> Contrary to popular comments, YOU CAN VIEW ARCHIVE/HISTORICAL FOOTAGE ON THE Yi CAM ONCE YOU HAVE AN SDCard IN THE CAMERA! Very useful feature.
>> I had no issues with Wifi stability, even with the 3 cameras are on different floors
>> The motion sensor is an absolute JOY! It works seamlessy and effectively

CONS
>> It keeps annoying you with prompts to upgrade to the Cloud version. That is the only part i find annoying.
>> You absolutely need a memory/SDcard to enable you download and review footage. I would advice a 32Gb memory card (Amazon has many budget options), but NOTE THAT THIS WILL ONLY BACKUP A FEW/6 HOURS OF footage. If you really want more, then opt for a 256GB card.
>> I was not able to use the “share feature” to give people access to the cameras… it just never shared to their emails. Best way is to share the newly created email/password details, just rememer NOT TO USE THE SAME PASSWORD as your general email!

All in, this is a wonderful device by the YI guys; absolute easy to use, very clear 2k camera video quality, and the motion sensor feature just makes this the BEST VALUE FOR MONEY among home security CCTV cameras. a solid 5/5.

Really love these cameras.
CAMERA: Very good frame, you can choose HD quality and has a great night vision. Charging cord is long enough to set up camera high and get the biggest frame possible.
SET UP: was easy : connect to your regular wifi (not 5G), scan the QR code to download the app (YiHome), plug in the camera, you’ll see the connection on the app.
FREE/PAY : The free version lets you see the camera in live, so you can see the frame in the present moment but not record. To record and have access to footage you have to pay a monthly or yearly fee. There are 4options to choose from ($CAD per year) : entry 53$ (1camera, 7day history, records activity only), CVR 109$ (1camera, 7day history, always records), standard 135$ (5cameras, 15days history, records activity and AI detection), plus 175$ (5cameras, 30day history, records activity and AI detection).
I tried standard but the ‘activity only recording’ never recorded video movement from my cats or my dad in the frame, it only recorded audio activity like talking. I then switched to CVR which worked perfectly, all the time recording and access to the footage, but you can’t choose to have access to the footage longer than 7days and have to buy the monthly or yearly fee for every camera you want the recording on, which can become pricey.
TRAVEL: I bought these for travelling and it worked amazing, not one issue and I was 13h flight away, so i guess it works anytime anywhere.
NOTIFS: you can choose to have notifications on or off for when activity is detected by the camera. There is an ‘absent mode’ which should not alert you of activity if you’re home but it didn’t work for me so I would turn off notifs when I’m home.
OVERALL I recommend cause it’s a great camera and worked perfectly for my 2week trip cause I paid for 1month 2 cameras and can use it as live footage from now on. However for a 24h surveillance security system working in my entire home for an entire year I would find it too pricey overtime to pay the fee for each camera and too bothering to have to switch off notifications every time I’m home.

Wifi connectivity is extremely poor
Reviewed in Canada on May 12, 2021
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
The premise of a wireless camera is that the device is not beholden to any wires other than the power cable. Indeed, this is the allure of a wireless camera. Unfortunately, if the camera is unable to connect to a wifi access point, all advantages of a wireless device are lost.

Such is the case with the Yi camera for which I had high hopes. To be clear, the low price of the device was the main selling point but there were other attractive features that suggested that this device could compete with other prominent cameras. These features include notification, audio communication, night vision, control and access via an app, security features and more.

The purchase of this device was not simply made on a whim. I had already opened a Yi camera which I had been using for at least 4 if not more years and it continues to deliver great value. Why would a second camera be any less of a worthy purchase. Yet, the device failed to impress almost immediately out of the box. While the set up went smoothly in my kitchen, once I relocated the device to is desired spot, it failed to connect. Puzzled, I took it back into the house and tried reconnecting it in a variety of locations. None worked except the original location. It was so bad that I even called Amazon and returned it and chalked it up to a bad device.

Sadly, my hopes were short lived. My second experience was equally as poor as my first experience and the results were almost identical.

Full disclosure: I have a very robust wifi system in my house and I have 3 access points. The spot where I tried to mount my camera gets strong wifi reception in my phone but it's unable to be detected in the camera.

Summary/too long didn't read: the price point is about the only attractive feature of this device.

It's worth the price for the purpose. I have another YI camera which can rotate but not this one. On the other side this YI camera has a pretty wide angle which covers more than just required. Video quality is ok but acceptable.

I pay for your cloud service, and I want your AI features. Yet, every time I try to view CCTV footage, I’m bombarded with intrusive pop-ups promoting AI.

This is completely unacceptable. I use this system for security. not to be harassed with ads. Really shameful to obstruct use of the key feature for your ads.

Facil de instalar, por su tamaño es facil de colorcar en cualquier rincon o superficie, la calidad de imagen es muy muy buena y se puede hacer amoliacion de zoom libremente. La alerta de deteccion de movimiento llega practicamente unos 2-3 segundos posterior a la detección, no pago la suscripcion pero te llega video de unos 8 segundos de actividad detectada, se puede grabar en vivo. El angulo de vision es amplio y cubre gran amplitud. La vision nocturna es de buena calidad
Lo malo es que no tiene AI que diferencie los movimientos, ya que se activa alerta en mi caso cuando esta la vision noctura y un mosquito/mosca pasa cerca de la camara manda alerta de movimiento detectado, la bocina y microfono funciona decente. Por el precio creo es una buena opcion.
