YI IoT

YI IoT is the official Yi Techonology app for using and managing YI IoT surveillance cameras. That said, it's important to note that this app is only compatible with the international version of these cameras. This app won't work properly if you have a Chinese version of these surveillance cameras, which are managed by a different app.In order to use YI IoT, you must have a registered user account. Fortunately, the registration process is very quick, in part because you can use your Facebook account. After that, you can customize your profile by changing your name and choosing an avatar. From the options menu, you can also manage other aspects of this tool, such as your subscription type or photos and videos you want to save.This is a very important aspect of YI IoT: if you want to get the most out of your surveillance camera, you'll need to pay for one of the various subscription plans. Otherwise, the recordings won't be stored on the cloud, so you won't be able to access them; in this case, you'll only be able to see what's happening in real time. Simply put, without a subscription, you'll miss out on many of the advantages that come with having a surveillance camera.When you're setting up one of these surveillance cameras, you can customize the type of alerts you want to receive from the app itself. The most common alert sends you a notification when it detects the slightest movement, although you can reduce this sensitivity, in which case it only sends notifications when it detects a more noticeable movement. That's because, with the most sensitive alerts, the fluttering of a curtain is enough to set off the alarms.Download YI IoT to manage your surveillance cameras with convenience. This app is only compatible with the international version of YI IoT cameras, not with the Chinese ones.

Highlights:

The YI IoT camera is equipped with a 111° wide-angle lens, which significantly expands the coverage area, allowing users to capture a clear view of various spaces. The app incorporates a 4x digital zoom feature, enabling users to focus on specific details simply by double-tapping on the mobile screen. This capability is particularly useful for monitoring pets or children, as it allows users to zoom in on activities without losing image quality.

Communication is facilitated through a two-way audio feature that allows users to speak with their family members remotely. The app employs a specially designed microphone and speaker that ensure clear voice quality, making conversations easy and effective. This feature is beneficial for checking in on family members or for providing instructions from afar.

To enhance the user experience, the YI IoT app supports a panoramic view by enabling users to pan their mobile phones left and right. This functionality is made possible by the integration of a gyroscope, which allows the app to follow the orientation of the device. As a result, users can explore every corner of the monitored area, ensuring that nothing goes unnoticed.

The camera utilizes high-quality glass lenses with an f/2.0 aperture, producing bright and clear images even in low-light conditions. With HD resolution at 1280x720, the YI IoT camera delivers impressive image quality, making it suitable for monitoring small details. Users can rely on this clarity to ensure they are always aware of what is happening in their monitored spaces.

Motion detection is another critical feature of the YI IoT camera. It employs advanced technology to detect movement accurately, sending notifications to the user's mobile device when activity is identified. This immediate feedback allows users to stay informed about any potential security issues or notable events occurring in their absence.

Tips for Users:

Ensure a stable internet connection: YI IoT relies on a stable internet connection to provide real-time video and audio feeds. Make sure you have a strong and reliable internet connection to experience smooth and uninterrupted communication and monitoring.

Position cameras strategically: When setting up your cameras, consider the areas you want to monitor and position them accordingly. By placing cameras strategically, you can maximize their coverage and ensure that no blind spots are left unmonitored.

Use 2-way communication wisely: While 2-way communication is a great feature to stay connected with your family, use it judiciously. Avoid unnecessary interruption and respect each other's privacy. It's best to use this feature for important conversations or emergencies.

Comments:

I have two dome cams in house and I just bought a third one on its way. The cams are quite good and up until now haven’t had any issues at all.Lately one of my cams has been beeping and then turning 360 degrees every time it beeps. This beeping happens often and I am not sure what the problem is. I do not have the same issue with the other cam. I have reset the camera and still the issue persists. I have researched the issue online and in app with no solution. The company is really hard to get in touch with and their customer care is not at all the best. They have a good product but it isn’t followed by a good support team and thus I give it a four star, tempered with a three star but I like the cams very much. How do I resolve the issue? Why does it beep all the time? There is no specific time in which it does it. Sometimes it beeps more often than others and other times it doesn’t beep that much. The beeping is annoying as it does it at all hours of day and night. Help!

The only thing good about this product is the clear picture. When it’s not pointed at the wall that is. And if you want to use your own sd card instead of their EXTREMLY high priced cloud storage, GOOD LUCK! It won’t even let you review your recordings on your own private storage! You have to buy the cloud storage if you want yo view ANYTHING! What’s the point though when it just points at the wall? The light that you can set to auto work’s only when it wants too, mostly when it’s pointed at the wall. I keep getting all these alerts but nothing is there that should’ve caused an alert. Granted, I only paid like 10$ each but I’ve paid for cameras that are the size of a quarter that work better then this piece of crap. And from what I read on all the responses from the owner’s, let me just stop you now, no I don’t want you to “look at it” to see if something’s wrong, and NO I don’t want a “reduced” or “discounted” price for the cloud. The cloud should be free since the camera was paid for or you should have the ability to utilize your own private storage with no restrictions. It’s not even worth it to send back for a refund. My garbage is feeling a bit lonely so that’s where I’ll be storing these worthless cameras.

I got this cámara on my baby Registry And to be honest I was a little skeptic with the price but I was reading the reviews and I saw a lot of good reviews and let me tell you I don’t regret one bit on putting this on my registry. camera Quality is pretty good easy to install easy to download on your phone the view is very clear, and it has all the features I need and more,I really don’t know what other expensive cameras offers But I believe this have everything I need. so only if the expensive cameras can cook ,clean and ironed clothes then that make will make a deal.Update: cámara was working good for a few months About ( 3 months). Now It’s on night vision all day, it resets a lot, and for a few weeks i had “ the cámara is offline issue “ I’ve send them the issue about not having day time vision but I had no respond. I was hoping when I saw the update i will get it but NO!.
