Reviews around product (4.21 of 5)

  • Also, this product may not work on certain network settings and you need to trouble shoot if your network is the problem
  • Aside from those 2 concerns I have, I love the product.
  • We purchased this product to work as a security camera as well as a baby monitor
  • This product is great for me, however, I am waiting for an outdoor model from Yi.

  • I don't normally leave reviews but this is a great camera at an awesome price.

Reviews around thing (4.14 of 5)

  • This thing is so easy to use and set up my wife and daughter have fallen in love with it too
  • I'd like the real things to be obvious and actively threatening to intruders
  • Sometimes it tracks but can easily lose tracking if things are going moderately fast like a quick walk or too slow.
  • These two things together make the unit completely dark/invisible in the night.
  • There is too much good things I can say if u have any questions ask me I give this a 10 out of 10

Reviews around cord (1.61 of 5)

  • So be warned that if you buy this camera, and you don't secure the power cord, you'll have plenty of disconnects.
  • The included cord was too short but that was rectified with a purchase of a 20 foot "nest" compatible cord which worked perfect
  • I guess they expect me to hang an extension cord from the ceiling to a power outlet
  • Changed out with a proper thickness cell phone cord and that cord was a snug fit
  • I want to note that I ordered 2 initially, but one had a defective USB cord as well as a non-working mic (product was returned).

Reviews around security issue (1.00 of 5)

  • When I did, I saw that security issue of having to give access to a lot of my private information such as contacts, etc
  • But coupling the product quality along with security issues is finally enough for me to not try them again.
  • To those who have complained about all of the permissions that the camera app requires and the apparent security issues, no problem
  • Very concerned about the security issues with the software.

Reviews around yi cloud (1.00 of 5)

  • 7 days of 6-second motion alerts saved in the Yi Cloud for free- Motion alerts
  • If you want to send your video to the Yi cloud (that is very good idea if you are going to use it as a security camera), you'll pay extra ~$100/year
  • Parts are required to send videos to the Yi Cloud for processing and storage, but one should still be cautious
  • The image & stream quality are great; my only "concern" is that the Yi Cloud (if you purchase the service) is hosted in China.
