Security Cameras
I so love my camera, it works perfectly! I purchased an LED SOLAR ATTACHED TO IT TO KEEP THE CAMERA RUNNING! The LED LIGHT MUST BE FACING DIRECTLY TO THE SUNLIGHT IN ORDER TO STAY CHARGED. I SO LOVE MY CAMERA. I HAVE A SD CARD AS WELL, that runs like clock work!

Bought off temu
Idk who else reviewed this bought a 4 pack of these cameras and hooked up 3 so far super simple screw in login WiFi even at apartment complex I’m at where I don’t have direct access to WiFi but just login worked like a dream went to friends checked on cameras worked perfect even 360 feature so works great highly recommend cameras and apps also there option to use cloud storage I set up with first camera was $30 for the year for the first camera and it alerted me as soon as I walked into apartment other cameras you can set up extra I know this is a long review but wanted it make sure people didn’t think I was ai review trust me app legit cameras legit again got off temu 4 pack!
Throw away garbage
They updated the app, cameras are useless now. Will be throwing away and going with competitor.
Update了iOS後彈apps
可有更新或解決方法？
Cameras only work on desktop.
I have tried to contact you via email 2 different addresses, doesn't work. I tried Facebook, same automatic reply, I tried website, errors on contact page. How am I supposed to ask for assistance when no cameras show up on my app to submit an issue request.
Good thing gone bad 🥲
Like the other user, this used to work flawlessly but now ads take over every time you attempt to access the cameras causing at times a 1 minute delay in viewing. Now after app update I can’t access my cameras.
Do not buy!!!!
Customer hating, false advertising, bait and switch, rip off company. They have now forced there customers into buying there outrageous subscription fee to view your own camera on your own sd card! I cannot encourage people enough to shop elsewhere. There app is loaded with advertising a lot of times making you restart the app to make it work correctly to now having to face a angry mob of customers who own there product to waking up one day to find we can’t use our cameras no more unless we pay $200 a year now. Screw this company my cameras are going in the garbage and I join everyone else and hope they go out of business.
Garbage
Absolute garbage app. I don’t even know where to start. The ads, the quality, not to mention the back door access they have to everything in your home and what they can see what we do. If you are thinking about buying these products please return them before you open. Garbage. Garbage. Garbage.
Stay away
I had nine of these at work and and home. They were great before the company decided it would pop up ads with nearly every action within the app. Makes the app completely worthless. I have begun replacing all my Yi cameras with another brand that doesn’t not require annoying and constant ad pop ups.
Terrible!
Like others reported, the ads make the app unusable for any serious security cam usage. I’ve have over a dozen YI cams and now have been replacing them with another brand. Imagine getting a notification and opening the app only to wait for the full page ad to run. By the time you see your security footage, it’s too late :( Full page ads for an app that you’ve paid lots of money for hardware makes no sense! I’ll be happy when I can get rid of all my Yi cameras and no longer support this company’s business model. It was not like this in the beginning when I bought the cameras. It’s a bait and switch.
Awful camaras
They used to be good, but there are too many ads and they don’t even work with the new app. Don’t waste your money.
Just get a Ring Camera. Do not buy!
I never write reviews but this is absolutely horrible. The UI is garbage Setting up the cameras feel like you are in 2010. The help system is worse. The CONSTANT pop up ads for their “premium service” I threw out all my cameras and just got Ring cameras. Absolutely TERRIBLE product.
