GREAT CAMERAS

I can give a real review and an honest one because I have been using these cameras for over a year and I love theme. They have great video + night vision and the two way intercom is so handy for when I’m at work and need to quickly say something to someone in my home. I have theme in every room of the house up in each corner which covers most of the room and also two out front, one above the porch roof aimed at the street and one above the front door aimed at the porch. They have motion sensors as well as a load beeping alarm that u can set to go off when motion is detected. You would expect to pay way more for such quality cameras but they deliver the right stuff for the right price and I can’t complain about that. I use the ye 1080 p home cameras and the ye out door cameras but they have many other choices. Easy set up and install. (hang- plug-sync-play) or u can just set theme up on a table or night stand whatever u like. The app allows u to monitor All your cameras in one spot and with the cloud service u can always go back and see what u need to see. They also have a memory card slot so if u don’t want to pay for the cloud service u can just install the card and call it a day. They also hook to your smart devices like Alexa and google. Thank u YE AND I HOPE THIS REVIEWS HELPS SOMEONE OUT THAT WAS NOT SURE.

Decent camera for the price

It is a great camera for the price point. The images are clean and clear. The ability to save images to an SD card or to a cloud (with a minimal monthly/yearly premium as well) is a great option and one that makes this an attractive camera for many different people's needs. I like that it can pan & zoom and is quite responsive to controls. It starts recording a few seconds prior to the event so that the full event can be seen and/recorded if necessary to save it.

Depending on your plan (we are on the least expensive cloud plan) & we are only be able to retrieve/record the event onto our phone for 7 days. Then it's gone. While you'd figure if some big event like a burglary happened you'd save the data right away but if someone wants/needs documentation of events for long periods then make sure to use an SD Card or save the events immediately or pay for the premium cloud plan. It has lots of options. It has night vision, hd or sd and auto which intelligently switches to the best recording option for the images & the current lighting.

My favorite feature is the time lapse video. It has the ability to create neat time lapse videos on the images it captures. One could have a lot of fun with it. All in all I highly recommend for the minimal cost.

Better Than Blink

Blink has okay quality, but you have to pay to get normal live view and that was super weird to me. The app wasn’t my favorite either. Yi does all the basics without having to pay, and the KamiCloud subscription is cheap to be able to store your footage. The video quality is great, not like the average grocery store where you can’t see facial features. The audio is clear, the speaker function is clear, the notifications are accurate and helpful. We have them for our driveway, backyard, entry way, dining room, but for our living room we use the 360 camera and I LOVE IT. Controls are simple, we can see absolutely everywhere just by swiping on the controls. The app itself is easy to use, just do some exploring on it and you’ll find all the different functions and options. They are way cheaper than Blink, too. I know Blink can link with your Ring doorbells but it doesn’t bother me. Our ring is separate, it’s not a hindrance really. It’s worth it to get these cameras in my opinion! Big bang for how cheap they are, it’s so nice having an affordable, quality security system.
