There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Each camera comes with its own USB cable that is about 2 meters/6" long and an wall mount USB power adapter. The cables are the standard micro USB type connections used on most current Android phones with a standard USB PC connection at the other end. I bought some USB cables that were 25' long (about 7-8 meters) on Amazon that worked well. I have seen cables up to 100', but they need an amplifier past 30'.
The picture is really clear, even at night with IR. The camera records at 15fps (frames per second). TV is 30fps. So anything moving too fast will blur.
Today, I would check the 1080P version, especially for larger areas like a yard or for security purposes where a clear picture with lots of detail may be needed to identify someone. The 1080P 4 pack of cameras was only a $5 more when I wrote this review. The only reason I can think of to go with the 720P cameras is if you have very slow Internet, less than 10Mbps. The bandwidth of these 720P cameras is half of the 1080P cameras. The upstream bandwidth needed for each 720P camera is .5Mbps. The 1080P cameras are double at 1Mbps. So they would use 2 vs. 4Mbps for 4 cameras if you stream all of them steady. With motion detection, the cameras only stream when there is activity in view, so this may be even less of an issue.
You will need DHCP active as you cannot hard code the IP on the cameras. Each camera needs an IP. Most every router has DHCP. But if you have a large number fo devices, you may need to expand your DHCP scope. See your router manual if needed.
Ensure your router supports the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal (802.11 B, G, N). The 5GHz band is not supported. Most routers support only 2.4GHz or have an option to do both 2.4GHz and 5 GHz. There are a few exceptions.
It comes with some simple step by step directions. Setup is very easy and the app is very easy to use and has some nice features. The app talks you through setup as well.
You can turn off the LED light on the camera on or off so it appears off and does not light up the room at night.
The cameras can be set to detect motion and also a baby crying and show an alert on your phone. A cheap home security system when you are away. Or useful to monitor to room. If you have kids that are not allowed in a room, i.e. hidden presents, a kitchen or basement with dangers. You can catch them in the act and have a two way conversation with them in real time.
You can set a PIN on each camera, unique or the same for all. With an iPhone 6 and newer you can use a fingerprint for authentication instead of typing in the PIN each time.
If you wish to go back and review activity later on, you will need an SD card or cloud storage. I recommend both in case your Internet or the service drops. The camera can be set to record always or only record when activity is detected saving what you need to review, bandwidth if you do cloud storage, and fit more data you care about on the SD card.
No SD cards come with the cameras, they are an optional purchase. You can insert your own 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB Class10 micro SD card in each camera to record activity. 32GB is the maximum size, larger cards will not work. The app will tell you if the SD card condition is good or not. The recording will loop when the card fills up.
I have had no issues with the Samsung PRO Endurance 32GB Micro SDHC Card, ASIN B07B98GXQT which specifies for use in continuous recording cameras. These were a few extra $ over others, but I've had no problems or regrets. Reviews show problems with some of the other less expensive SD cards. Unless you have an 8GB or 16GB mSD card on hand, buy the 32GB SD cards. There is very little if any difference in cost between these sizes.
The other option is optional cloud storage. You get a free 30 day trial to 7 day motion activated cloud storage for just one (1) camera. The one camera limitation is not listed in the description above. When I tried to add other cameras the free option was no longer listed and they would not add to the plan. It shows a subscription is required. When I wrote this on March 8, 2019, I found the price for the cloud storage was cheaper on their web site than in the app. Go to their web site to sign up. A 7 day retention plan for 24hour continuous recording for 1 camera, or 5 cameras with motion detection recording enabled starts at US 84.99/year or 24.99/3 months in the app vs. 66/year on the web site. Still seems expensive. Plans with longer 15 and 30 day retention are also available at higher cost. It's not apparent what the charge is if you have more than 5 Yi cameras. This possibility is not listed in their FAQ, so I'm guessing you need a second account and plan. The app will support more than 5 cameras, it’s just the cloud storage I am not sure of. I did not find a published privacy policy regarding what the camera captures. That’s a big oversight these days.

El zoom es bueno pero cuando al maximo no es nítido. La lente sólo se mueve a la derecha y a la izquierda. Tal vez un modelo más nuevo mueve arriba y abajo.
