YOU NEED THIS
I’ve been using the YI 2pc Security Home Camera for almost three years, and I am incredibly impressed with its performance. Despite the passage of time, these cameras have continued to function exceptionally well, which speaks volumes about their durability and quality.The installation was a breeze, and the compact size of the cameras is perfect for discreet placement around the home. The 1080p resolution ensures clear and crisp images, both day and night, thanks to the impressive night vision feature. I recently added two SD cards, which was a straightforward process, and they work flawlessly with the system.One of the standout features of these cameras is the ease of use. The app allows me to view live footage from anywhere, providing peace of mind when I’m away from home. The 2.4G WiFi connectivity is stable and reliable, ensuring continuous monitoring without interruptions.Overall, I am extremely happy with the YI Security Home Cameras. They offer excellent value for money, combining reliability, ease of use, and high-quality performance. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable home security solution.

easy to set-up and worth it for the price
these cameras were so cheap and has amazing quality. it was so incredibly eash to set up. the 2-way audio is amazing as well, the microphone is so clear. i love the size of the cameras, they’re so sleek. the performance is great as well. the only thing is that you need to subscribe to cloud memory, otherwise you’ll only be able to see live footage unless you buy an SD card.

Not consistent
Even though we got the plan that includes continuous monitoring of movement it only records about a minute every 11 minutes or so when there’s constant activity. We went back to figure out how a small house fire started in our home and it started 8 minutes after the last recording ended and we had it out before the next recording began. Not super helpful..The first camera we got only started recording at sound, not movement like it was supposed to. After lots of back and forth with support they said they’d send a new one. A month later I asked where it was. THEN they actually shipped it. With a plug that doesn’t fit any plug in I’ve ever seen (I’m guessing it’s for European outlets? ) Thankfully an old phone charger was able to do the job.Now that it’s replaced the cameras *seem * to be working, but the subscription isn’t recording consistently which makes them pretty useless, and it was $100 to get the subscription, and customer service pumps out 3 generic responses from the website before they actually help you with your situation. It’s just been tedious and not what I was hoping for.—–I’ve had these a few months. Paid $100 for a subscription. And the kitchen camera has not been working for the past 6 weeks as 8 continue emailing them and they even sent me a new camera that’s not uploading like my subscription is paying for. Very unhappy customer here. Don’t waste your time and money on kami cloud and the YI cameraUpdate: they those to give any form of refund for the $100 subscription that’s worked about 2 months of the year I paid for. They now claim it is my wifi. My wifi has not changed the whole time. It works perfectly for anything and everything else. They are a terribly irresponsible company with no care about follow through.

Good cameras, sub par integration and app reliability.
The camera themselves are good quality. They feel like decent quality, flexible mounting, wide angle availability. Quality is decent enough the talk back feature is a little low but we don’t use it often.The set up process is wildly dysfunctional and it’s because of the poor app connectivity, and reliability. Was ready to send it back after continuously having error after error just trying to make an account with the app. Walked away and came back an hour later and it for some reason worked. Connecting the cameras to wifi and and the app was fine and simple process. KEEPING them connected was an issue initially. Every time I closed out of the app and re logged in my cameras were gone and I’d have to hard reset them and go through set up all over again. After the first day though, it hasn’t been an issue. I will say, unless you’re using these cameras to have someone watching them 24/7, they’re useless without the subscription. I hate that fact and didn’t want to sign up for it, but caved and did. They have SD slots to store video of you want but that seems like such out of date technology. Theres 4 tiers of subscription. The cheapest two were virtually useless. I ended up paying the 99/year option. Allows up to 5 cameras, motion detection, cloud storage and simultaneous split screen view in real time of all active cameras. We’ve had them for about a month and a half and they’ve worked fine since that horrible first day.

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.
