YI PRO 2K Home Security Camera 3pcs, 2.4GHz WiFi with Smart Detection

I originally wanted a Nest-like camera to use as a baby/nanny monitor and was confused by all of mixed reviews online across all products so wanted to set the help others who are in a similar position. I ended up ordering this Yi 1080p camera and the Wansview 1080p camera to do a trial, figuring I could always splurge on the Nest cam if the others didn’t work out.For anyone considering getting the Yi camera as a baby monitor, I highly recommend it for this over more traditional baby monitors. I’d also recommend it over the Wansview and the Nest. And here’s why...- Nest is obviously 3x the pric

My wife and I are expecting our second child. For the first child we used a motorola baby monitor. After 10 months, the motorola baby monitor won't hold a charge, so I wanted to find a better solution. Also, I wanted to be able to keep an eye on the home while we are away and prevent any deliveries from being taken from the front porch. So I looked for a baby monitor that could also be used as a low cost security system. The Nest/Drop Cam seemed like a good option, but the cost was much higher than I wanted to spend, because I knew that I wanted 3 cameras, minimum. I rolled the dice, and purch

EDIT: I can no longer recommend these products to anyone. The company is really pushing for people to purchase the cloud packages. So much so that anytime you ask for support, the first thing they say is, you should upgrade to the premium plan, or have you upgraded to the cloud service.Now they are pushing ads when you launch the app and you cannot turn them off without, you guessed it, purchasing a premium plan.So please, before you purchase anything from Yi, check up the community forums and look at how many people are complaining about different things and the canned responses they get back

This is my first attempt to get a camera for my home since I dropped the security company. I have read many reviews on different security cameras over the past few weeks and finally settled on this one for a few reasons. The positive reviews on the camera is one of the most important reasons why I chose this camera. I want reviews from people who have not gotten the product for free or with a discount so their reviews are reliable and not skewed. I also need a camera that's easy to install. This one certainly is. It installed the app from Google Play Store, listened to the prompts and it walke

Ok, so you're going to want to read this in its entirety as it contains information I wanted to know but couldn't find in any of the reviews or manufacturer comments.First off, WOW! This is going to sound like a shill review, but I assure you: I am a real person with no ties whatsoever to this company. I am a composer for film and TV shows with a home studio that is...well, it's expensive. While everything is insured and I keep redundant offsite backups of my files, it would still spell potential disaster for my career if my gear was stolen; when you're working with 12 hour deadlines for inter

I've been toying with both Nest and Kuna cameras, and while these 2 are pretty good, both requires a subscription and Kuna currently does not offer indoor cameras. Nest is way too expensive and if you add the subscription cost, you might as well pay ADT to monitor your home.And that's when Yi Tech comes to save the day! They make both outdoor and indoor cam. Their app is good (not great). Not as great as Kuna where it automatically sends you live snaps when it detects motion. But it's great for what I need it for. To monitor the garage.The video quality is pretty amazing considering my Kuna ou

Initial review and 1.5 year update.After one full week of usage, I'm ready to review the YI 1080P camera system. Take that description with a grain of salt, because you get more than just a simple camera at a price that's almost stupidly low. Over the next few paragraphs I'll go over the included hardware, features, setup and value and compare each of those aspects to other systems on the market. Start your engines.So let's talk about the included hardware. Each camera comes in a small box similar to a new cell phone. They are so small that you will believe that they've forgotten something. No

Wow, this camera has exceeded all my expectations. I've had a Canary, Foscam and Amcrest wireless cameras and have returned each due to some of their limitations. I'm not saying that they are bad (By the way I thought the Foscam had the best and clearest picture). Each one of those cameras had certain limitations on what you can do and view unless you signed up for their cloud based service. Accessing the files on the SD card had to be done either by manually removing it, or using some buggy software that would work in Windows IE but not on a Mac or other browsers, or you would have to use a s
