Great Camera, Great Price

So easy to install. Very happy with picture quality and also price was right. Id recommend this camera.

Awesome product!

This is my 3rd day using this product. It was easy to set-up once I downloaded the app! Very clear view. Easy to operate. I wish it was weather proof! I would love to be able to place this on the outside parameter of my home. Please make one for outdoors!!!

About time!

Ive had several different systems. So far, this is the best "do-it-yourself" kit. Very easy to set up. VERY. Very easy to add multiple cameras. VERY. Only wire to the camera is the plug for power. Good field of view. Doesnt pan or tilt (other than manually), but its a very wide field of view. Also has great features like motion detection, alarms to your phone, speaker, etc.

Works as described

Cant complain budget wifi camera that does all it says it does. Getting a 2nd camera for a different room worth the money.

Awesome!!

New homeowner and newly-wed. Give a HUGE piece of mind knowing my wife gets in and out of the house safely, and the motion sensor is awesome! Every time motion is detected, an alert gets sent to phone and shows you 7 seconds around that time frame. You can easily adjust how sensitive you want the sensor to be as well. Well worth the money paid for the camera. Easy to setup as well

Many app issues, history scrubbing broken

The camera is great, but there are lots of issues with the app. Firstly and most importantly, the ability to scrub back through recording history is utterly broken. If you try to scroll back to say, 6pm, the history you get is something else, like 2am. There is no way to choose a time to actually look at. This happens every time. Secondly, you cant turn off the infrared LEDs. My camera sits behind glass, so no night recording at all is possible. All you see is the reflection of the camera! Ive made several comments through the in-app feedback page and have never heard back from the company, which tells me they arent interested in feedback at all.

Great app

Im using this for monitoring my babe at night. Theres a time gap between the time of action and the alert. It is not perfect for babe sleeping monitor i guess.

Great value

Got this to monitor our new foster dogs separation anxiety. Works really well and great value for the price. Set up was easy and the app is also user friendly. Great camera and fully met my expectations. I like that the video is stored on a SD card. So glad I came across this camera. Had it shipped free same day from Amazon. Happy worth this purchase and service.

Amazing

Way better than the expensive 300dollar system i bought at bestbuy

Pretty darn good

Super easy to set up....decent options. Overall quite pleased.

Great bargain

For $49.99 this is a great buy. out of the box, hooked it up and it worked perfectly. Even my Nest took longer than yi cam

I really like it

I just bought this...set it up...Boom! Working perfectly first try. Then I set up my wifes phone...Boom! Working perfectly first try. I have it facing outside at my cars from inside the house and even through the windows it works great.

Yi Home Camera

Just got it with Apple app and have followed instructions 10 times and still will not scan the bar code on the back of the camera. Probably junk

Change firmware

DO NOT update to camera firmware to 1151! The night vision (IR turned on) looks extremely blurry now and there is a YI logo on the left. If you rely on night vision, dont update the app or firmware.

Great product

Super easy to set up, great resolution, slightly janky connection, but overall great.

Great camera

I love it. Very easy to setup. The picture is great. You can pan and zoom. And watch video from anywhere. I use more as a baby monitor but already ordered more for other room in the house.

Great Camera; App Needs Work

The camera is great. Another user said they couldnt scan the QR code on the back of the cam - you dont scan the back of the cam to get it to work. You scan the QR code that comes up on your phone screen with the Yi cam to set it up. The picture is clear - night vision is a little blurry. You can pan and zoom. Depending on the sensitivity of the notifications/alerts you set, it picks up a lot. Even if you unplug it, the recorded motion/alerts stay on the server for up to a week. You can also save and forward the recorded motion/alerts, take live video and pictures, and send them to other people or devices. It has two-way audio so you can speak through the cam and hear what is going on - and it works from anywhere. I was at the store and was able to speak to my husband at home, 20 miles away, through the app to the cam. I have trouble occasionally getting the live feed to load properly. I have to keep shutting down the app and reloading. That is really the only issue I have with it. If the developer can correct that I would give it 5 stars.

Excelent camera!

In some way better than Nest. I just need a web browser access to see te camera on my laptop, is this possible?
