YI Home 4+

I’m glad I have these. They have really Lear picture quality and are so easy to set up. The night vision is even really good. I like that I don’t have batteries to replace or recharge. The app has a good amount of setting features so you can customize the sensitivity, the microphone and speaker functions, set up times for the motion alerts to be on/off, etc. It also allows me to share my cameras so that other family members can view live footage and get alerts if you give permission.

I wish the motion alerts were longer than 6 seconds. The motion alerts definitely work great (and sometimes are too sensitive, but that’s adjustable) as they pick up headlights in the street that shine in my front window, my pets entering a room, a squirrel on my deck, etc. We recently added micro SD cards to our cameras and that allows us to go back and review a timeframe where I want to see more than a 6 second clip.

I have one camera facing out a window and it works great during the day. However, at night, the glare from inside decreases picture clarity significantly and makes the motion alerts sorta pointless since it detects all the movement inside the room instead of outside in the yard. It might be better to buy an outdoor camera if that’s what you plan to use it for.

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.

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.
