The picture is fairly clear and I like the sound and speaker options.
Sad as this system was almost the perfect option.

This particular model is not nearly as good as the Yi Dome Cams and not even close to the Ring cameras
This model is not particularly good in night time low light situations and the on board IR lights are anemic

While I like these cameras, I won't be buying any more cameras from Yi, and I cannot recommend anyone else purchase them until their service becomes FAR more reliable, or until they remove the ridiculous requirement from their software to connect to THEIR servers before connecting to your own cameras via your wireless LAN
There's some confusion regarding the cloud service, so let me briefly explain:1

Picture quality in bandwidth-saving SD mode is reasonable for basic use (e.g. identifying make and model of vehicles), while HD mode is very high quality: I can read license plates about 30 feet away during the daytime when they're facing the camera
The cameras themselves are fine - picture quality is good, night vision is good, love the Micro SD card recording (no cloud subscription necessary to view and download video) and the setup was super easy

You can access cloud videos using the app, again with a handy timeline showing when motion was detected

If they can't do that, it's not really an effective security system, is it?
Regarding installation, I wish the power cable exited the back of the camera, or could be routed through the base (either through a notch in the circular mount that leaves the cable exposed but would stay within the footprint of the mount, or through a hollow connector that'd go through the base and into the wall behind for greater security), rather than exiting from the bottom of the camera
Best possible security
Home security + unreliable do not go together and is a deal breaker
