YI 1080p Home Camera, Indoor IP Security Surveillance System with Night Vision for Home/Office/Baby/Nanny/Pet Monitor with iOS, Android App – Cloud Service Available

Camera platform functions well and video quality really is good considering the price point. Then I read the privacy policy!!! For some reason, I overlooked the reviews related to this prior to purchase. No thanks! There is specific language within the policy to allow permissions to view your video, track web usage and passwords, even related to social media accounts. YI advised they were changing this back in December of 2017. As of March 2018, nothing has changed within the privacy policy.

Bought this to monitor our front door while away on a trip. Delivery of the item was on time and I got it set up on my android phone in less than a half hour. We bought a 32GB micro SD card for it and positioned the camera to view outside the office window towards our front porch and the picture is very clear at all times of the day! I am able to receive the alerts and view them from my phone and/or laptop. I am also able to view more than the 6 second clip if I want to watch the full footage of the movement. It is easy to save the 6 second clip to the SD card; however it doesn’t save the full footage. But I found out that if I leave that clip in that day’s activities then I can still view the footage. I have set both the sensitivity and alert frequency settings to low and it still picks up passing vehicles but I am okay with that since I am able to delete the unneeded clips easily. I am amazed and pleased that I can be hundreds of miles away and still be able to monitor my front porch. And it’s considerably cheaper than the Ring or Nest products. I am very pleased with this product!!!

Good camera, im using it with a 64GB SD card, its been almost a week since I installed it and the card still has over 20GB free space.

The seller is a pain in the @ss emailing daily begging for feedback.

This Camera WILL NOT WORK unless you give Yi access to all of your personal inforamtion, and a internet signal to use so they can download your video feeds even if you don’t use the cloud service. With in minutes of installing the camera began sending back information on the Wifi without permission or prompting, I thought the reviews saying that the company was collecting person data were wrong however they seem to be totally true. There is absolutely no reason that this camera should not be able to work without a live internet connection.

The picture quality on this is fantastic! And I love being able to record little videos. We already had a “normal” baby monitor but bought this to help ease our minds when leaving baby with a sitter. We’ve ended up using it a lot more than we thought we would!

Love this camera! I actually bought it so I can keep my eye on my dog while I’m away at lunch for work & irs awesome. It’s super easy to set up & has really neat features on it like motion detection & sound detection so if for some reason the dog (or baby) cries it’ll alert you directly on your phone so you can pull up the video.
This also allows you to speak to whoever is on the opposite side of the camera through your phone so I can calm my dog down should I ever need to.
For the price of this it’s definitely all it’s cracked up to be. Thinking about ordering another!

Do Not Use as a Surveillance camera! Whenever they update their software they make you agree to their terms all over again! If you say ‘no’ then the camera will no longer work until you agree again! Their PC software times out on purpose. You think you are looking at a live picture from several feet away but they paused it without your permission and you are looking at something from hours ago. You have to be next to the screen to see it was paused. So much for security or a baby monitor. Useless.

It lasted only 4 months and then I got a PINK picture only. The company states a 1 year warranty but support is via email only. It’s clear there’s an issue with the camera itself as when I reset it, it wasn’t able to even pair with the phone by reading the QR code from the phone proving the camera isn’t working. Support was terrible and they started suggesting things that told me they were not technical and trying to get out of doing the right thing by accepting it as a warranty repair. I’d give it negative stars as a rating, but that isn’t available.
