YI Home Camera 2, 1080p Full HD Wireless IP Security Surveillance System with Activity Zone, Human Detection for Indoor, Store, Baby, Pet Monitor with iOS, Android App - Cloud Service Available

I have 5 of them. 2 external, 1 dome & 2 Internal 1080.Pro - As I have titled, it is a cheap and quick alternative. wireless etc.. all other good stuff.Cons - I have 6 different issues.1) Too Sensitive even when it is set to "Low" (like flies, mosquitos & spiders or for a plant or bush branch moves in the air) and sends a notification. Need some AI code to recognize and eliminate these annoying notifications.2) The high-power phone/Windows laptop and the Yi cam are all connected to the same wireless network and are placed near the router with the full WiFi signal. The picture quality is acceptable BUT there is always a delay few seconds delay in the picture.3) One external cam failed to see in the dark as the infra lights went dark in 15months after I bought it.4) I have continuous recording. For some reason, the cams stop recording but the standard cam function is normal. So far, I have experienced it in 3 cams (two external & one internal 1080).5) For some reason the can SD card stopped working and I pop in new working 16GB or 32GB cards in it but the cam hardly recognizes the full SD card capacity even after formatting it in cam.6) Major issue - The stopped SD card which was popped out of these cams won’t open in windows but it is recognized. looks like some kind of security lock in the first sector or totally corrupted. I have 4 SD cards that are locked like that. And I see no help on this issue at all :( .

I own 5 YI cameras and this one is by far the best, I wish all of them had the features of this one. The 25fps HD is crystal clear even in the dark. The wide angle lens is amazing, it can see my entire garage from one corner. The human detection could use some work. I have a small bantam hen in a brooder with 9 chicks and occasionally it will pick up the hen as "human." lol The app works great (until recently when it started popping up uncloseable ads every now and then when you open the app) and is easy to use, easy to setup, add, and share cameras.Out of the 5 cameras I've had to replace 2 of them right away. The first one of these I got, it wouldn't turn on due to a bad power cable. After I plugged in another cable it then had mic issues where it was constantly picking up static hits. I emailed YI about it and they seemed happy to help, they wanted "proof", ain't no body got time for that. I just sent it back to Amazon and got another and it was perfect. Also this one comes with a piece of 3M tape for mounting...they need to just make the base mountable like with the dome cameras.All of the cameras suffer from poor wifi signals. I don't think they put a big enough transmitter/receiver in these or the antennas are too short. I've added additional routers to my house to help with the signal and it seems sometimes even if the router is just on the other side of the wall from one of these cameras it still will pop up with a poor connection warning.It does come with free cloud service. What that means is when your camera detects motion it sends an alert. It uploads a 6 second video clip and several photos to the cloud. When your phone gets the alert it downloads these from the cloud, not the camera. That's how it works fast. After viewing the clip you can connect to the camera with a press of a button and view the rest of the clip from the camera itself. There are two levels of cloud service, the first being very similar to what comes with the camera for free, except the entire clip is uploaded and stored in the cloud when motion is detected. This is $7/mo and supports up to 5 cameras. For the same price you can switch it to continuous cloud upload, but it only supports 1 camera.Also if your wifi goes down, these being wifi cams become useless. So if someone broke in and your wifi was down, you wouldn't get an alert until the wifi was restored. The cameras have no backup power either.

I've had the 720p version of this cam for a little over a year now, and it's worked great. Image quality is decent, motion detection works well, and overall, I'd give it 5 stars. I saw the 1080p version on sale for black friday, and decided to upgrade. Unfortunately, I've run into a few issues.I have the camera positioned in a window, looking at the front door. Unfortunately, when "Night Vision Mode" is enabled, the IR LEDs in the camera reflect on the window, which looks like the attached image. It's basically unusable at night, and there is no way to disable JUST the lights while keeping IR mode on like the 720 version supports.I've also been unable to get any motion detection working. I've:- Turned on "Motion Detection"- Set an "Activity Region" (just like I've set up on the 720p version)- Also turned on the new "Human Detection" feature- Set "Sensitivity Level" and "Alert Frequency" set to "High"On the 720p Yi cam, I'd get anywhere from 30-40 alerts in a 24 hour period. Today I had 6 packages delivered (yay Christmas!) and left the house 3-4 times. This camera logged one motion alert, and it didn't push the notification to my phone.The image quality on this Yi Cam is so much better than the 720p version, but I can't count on it to alert me when motion occurs, and it's worthless at night.I've tried contacting Yi customer support to outline the issues I'm having, but they were of little help. The first response I got assured me that the setting to turn off the IR was there: "This camera is a little different but you will still see night vision settings under settings for the camera."I sent a followup email, where I asked (again) if I could turn the lights off or if the option had been removed. They responded, "Correct, it is a little different as this camera can see darker images in color. Turn to always off to disable the IR mode."I'll update this review if I manage to get the IR lights disabled, or if Yi responds, but I'll most likely end up returning this and keep my trusty 720p version instead.Update for 12/19/17 - Yi Support can only recommend turning night vision to "Always Off", which disables both the IR lights and night vision mode. When I asked for them to confirm if the only way to disable the IR lights was to disable night vision mode, they responded, "Correct, it is a little different as this camera can see darker images in color. Turn to always off to disable the IR mode."This means you'll see "streaks" of light at night and the frame rate seems to drop to compensate for the lack of light. I did manage to solve the missing alert issue though! When "Human Detection" is turned on, NO alerts will ever fire for motion UNLESS a human is detected. The camera is positioned at my front gate, and unfortunately it hasn't alerted me to a human more than 5 times since purchasing. I've turned Human Detection off and get a few extra alerts, but I'm now happy I can detect motion like I used to.

Heureux possesseur de la version 720p de cette caméra, j'étais curieux de tester la 1080 v2.Sur le papier, cette nouvelle version est en nette progression, avec un micro en façade et un meilleur haut-parleur. Les communications audios deviennent plus agréables que sur la 720p. La qualité d'image (déjà très bonne sur la 720p) ne progresse pas autant que je l'espérais, mais la correction de la distorsion fonctionne correctement. Dans les changements on peut également noter :- L'alimentation USB passe désormais par le socle de la caméra (le connecteur USB n'est plus situé directement au dos de la caméra)- La caméra chauffe nettement plus !Dans l'ensemble ce produit est bien pensé, et son application aussi. MAIS, la politique de YI en matière de distribution est discutable, car une même caméra est bridée par firmware en 8 régions (Taiwan, Amerique du Nord, Indonésie, Europe, etc.). Rien de grave en soit si en achetant en Europe, nous étions sûrs de recevoir une version européenne, mais en 2 commandes j'ai reçu :- Une caméra US dans un packaging US- Une caméra US dans un packaging EU !Dans les deux cas, la caméra ne peut pas être appairé sur l'application quand "Europe" a logiquement été choisi lors du premier lancement. Après la connexion au réseau Wifi, la caméra boucle sur un message d'erreur "Invalid QR code". Il faut donc réinstaller l'application (ou vider son cache) et choisir North America en région. Sauf que déjà possesseur d'une caméra EU, je ne peux plus utiliser les deux simultanément...YI devrait sérieusement améliorer ses approvisionnements pour que les acheteurs ne soient pas lésés par ces problèmes de régions qui ne les concernent pas...

Die Kamera hat viele gute, von anderen bereits beschriebene Funktionen, darunter zum Beispiel die Möglichkeit, nicht nur bei Babyweinen, sondern auch bei anderen Geräuschen zu warnen und die Empfindlichkeit hierfür einzustellen.Schön, dass die IR-Detektoren an- und abschaltbar sind oder das auch Lichtveränderungen (Taschenlampenlicht, z.B. von Einbrechern) wahrgenommen werden.Allgemein kommt das Objektiv ganz gut mit unterschiedlichen Lichtsituationen zurecht.Die Verarbeitung der Kamera fühlt sich gut an, und die Software ist leicht bedienbar.Es gibt jedoch mehrere Punkte, die mich dazu bewegen, die Kamera leider zurückzuschicken:Das W-Lan-Modul ist schwach.Ich konnte es in zwei verschiedenen Netzwerken bei zwei unterschiedlichen Router-Modellen ausprobieren. Bei einer schnellen 150Mbit/s-Verbindung zeigt die Kamera - direkt neben den Routern! - nur Verbindungswerte von höchstens 60 Prozent.Stellt man die Bildqualität von 720 auf HD ein, gibt es angeblich Netzwerkprobleme, und von der HD-Qualität sieht man dann nicht viel.Das Bild wirkt unscharf.Der Lautsprecher der Kamera ist hervorragend! Das gilt leider nicht für das Mikrofon. Im Live-Modus ist Sprache nur schwer zu verstehen, wenn überhaupt. Nur einmal kam eine entsprechend eingestellte „Geräusch-Benachrichtigung“, danach nie mehr.Zur Live-Kommunikation eher nicht zu gebrauchen, nur nachträglich, nach erfolgter Aufnahme.Benachrichtigungen kommen nicht, trotz hoch eingestellter Empfindlichkeiten oder Alarmfrequenz, am nächsten Tag hingegen schon. - Unberechenbar.Wenn Benachrichtigungen kommen, ist es praktisch, den kurzen 6-Sekunden-Überblick auf dem Handy anschauen zu können, auf Wunsch dann auch den ungekürzten Clip.Leider ist nicht klar, wie zukunftssicher die serverbedingte Möglichkeit dieser Benachrichtigungen durch Yi ist. Im US-Store wird damit geworben, dass Benachrichtigungen (wenn sie gewünscht und entsprechend eingestellt sind) kostenfrei über den YI-Cloud-Service laufen, unabhängig von zusätzlichen Cloudfunktionen, die man als Abo hinzubuchen kann. Gilt das auch für Europa?Ich möchte nicht z.B. nach einem Jahr plötzlich für Software-Funktionen zahlen müssen, die zum Zeitpunkt des Kamerakaufes noch vorhanden waren.Zwar gibt es die Möglichkeit, auf SD-Karte aufzunehmen, allerdings ist es mühselig, die Aufnahmen zu sichten:Es gibt eine Timeline, doch parallel dazu kein Fast oder Slow Forward der Bilder, man muss sich also Clips in Echtzeit und ganzer Länge anschauen, um den Moment, der die Bewegungsmeldung ausgelöst hat, zu finden. Das kann - trotz Timeline - dauern.Steckt man die SD-Karte in den Rechner, wird es noch unübersichtlicher.Die Kamera lässt sich übrigens nicht wie das Vorgängermodell anschrauben, nur noch ankleben.Vielleicht könnten einige Probleme gelöst werden, wenn die Kamera auch mit 5Ghz, nicht nur mit 2,4 Wifi verbunden werden könnte.

Muy bien en general, no tengo ninguna pega de momento. Me falta encontrar el punto a la hora de la detección de personas. Importante: a la hora de instalar la app en el móvil, seleccionar la región de EEUU, sino no hay manera de emparejarla con el móvil, se queja todo el rato del código QR. Es cambiar a EEUU y se empareja bien a la primera.

funziona perfettamente, anche senza scheda SD card, veloce nell'aggancio,personalizzabile per molti aspetti,costruita bene tutto il blocco interno è in alluminio e la calotta esterna è in plastica bianca.La risoluzione è ottima come anche l'audio.La app permette la visione di più camere e ne facilita moltissimo l'installazionene ho comprate 2

La cámara en si está muy bien, al principio cuesta un poco para emparejar con el wifi pero una vez hecho ésto ya va muy bien. La visión nocturna se ve bastante bien. La utilizo para ver lo que hace mi mascota mientras no estoy en casa. También permite seleccionar una zona del campo de visión y cuando detecta movimiento en esa zona te manda un aviso mediante la aplicación al smartphone. muy útil para vigilar quien entra y sale de casa.
