Fast Forward to the Yi Camera. I bought it on Prime Day because it was cheap and I figured it's better than nothing. This thing is amazing! So easy to setup (the others were also), but the software is very intuitive and you can do EVERYTHING from the mobile App. You can get alerts with short video previews which you can then opt to either view or download the entire clip right to your phone. You can also access ALL of the files on the SD card via the phone app with a beautifully created interface that has a nice timeline of showing the activity along with thumbnail previews. All of this can be done WITHOUT paying for their cloud service.
Night Vision is excellent and the Alert system works great and hasn't missed a beat. I am beyond happy how useful the software is and easy to navigate. It's also very reliable and any file I wanted to review was easily accessible and I could easily share or save with 1 click. I do wish the camera had some kind of mount on the bottom for like a tripod or other universal type connection, but double sided tape or velcro will work if I need to mount it somewhere. The 2 way talking is also better on this camera than any of the other ones I tried. The mic is sensitive and you can clearly hear what's going on in the room and easily have a conversation with a person remotely without it dropping out or being hard to hear. This was another feature that really impressed me and I didn't think was going to work this well on a camera at this price.
I would definitely purchase another one of these cameras (and probably will) not just because they are inexpensive, but they just work!
Easy set up. Less than 5 minutes.
The settings are clear and can be easily adjusted on the app,
I subscribed to the “cloud”, 8 day free trial. But the cloud isn’t consistent with recording. So I ordered the SD Card. The SD card is best and easy to use. I personally recommend the SD memory card instead of the Cloud. My camera is set to record only when motion is detected. It works great, has not missed anything.
Update. Months later , the camera is great. I certainly recommend it!

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. It is sad, I used to like these cheap little cameras and I would promote them and show them to people, now I will steer them away
Original review below:
I'll start off with I have purchased 4 of these cameras over the last few years. I had the old black 720p, the newer 720p that only came in white for some reason and then 2 of the 1080p versions. My older ones have worked great. I switched out the black base (720p) with the newer 1080p camera so that I could mount it in my front window to watch the porch area. I had to purchase a 10 foot usb cable to reach the outlet and to route it along the outside of the window frame, but it was cheap, and isn't really visible.
So my take-
Pros:
1. Cheap - The cameras are inexpensive and you don't have to use the cloud service when you use the SD card option. I see some of the reviews complaining that they can't see longer videos, but I haven't had that problem and all my cameras have the latest updates.
2. Easy to install - The app (Android in my case) was easy to install, then scan the back of the camera, identify your 2.4 Ghz WiFi (it doesn't work on 5Ghz yet), type in your password, point your phone at the camera and wait. Camera connects and you are good to go. I was even able to share one of my cameras with someone else so she could check in as well. She could make changes, but she could view it on her phone and on the desktop app.
3. Desktop app - You can install a PC software, which I use when I worked late so no one could sneak off the elevator at work and scare the &*^% out of me.
4. Motion record - It works pretty well and you can change the amount of movement needed for activation and how frequent it sends you the notice.
5. Mounting - you can pop off the vertical piece and there are 3 small screw holes in the base. I used these to mount the cam upside down in the front window.
6. Support (sorta)- The few times I've had to contact support for something they got back to me within 24 hours. I realize that they are not US based, so there is a time difference. I will also say that I had a camera that stopped connecting to my network and they sent a replacement right away.
Cons -
1. Night shots - Night vision isn't very good, but that is probably more to do with the fact I'm shooting through a window. I have the cams angled to help, but still get some IR reflection. If a car drives by the headlights wipe out the video as well before it can shutter the lens.
2. Connections - I wouldn't have to mention this on the older cameras, but I did have a camera that stopped connecting to my network. I tried resetting the camera (SOOO many times), I tried it on other networks (I even setup a new dedicated network) and when it wouldn't work, tech support sent me a new 1080p camera.
3. Connections part deux - The new camera connects to the network well, but will go offline every so often. At first I thought one of my animals was unplugging it because that was how the camera seemed. I couldn't ping it, no connection or anything. I have now plugged it into a remote switching outlet that I can then power cycle the camera to get it to reconnect. Sometimes it will go 5 days before it needs to be 'rebooted', but I had to reboot at 6:30 last night and again at 7:30 this morning. Hopefully this one isn't getting ready to die too.
4. Audio - They advertise this as 2-way audio, which it is, but don't plan on using it as an intercom device. My voice would come out 'tinny' from the camera, which you should expect from a speaker that small. I have had some times where the audio didn't match the video, but it would only be off a fraction of a second upto a full second. It is more annoying really.

I did have a lot of trouble signing up but after numerous attempts I finally created the account. You can see the attached as to the area I had trouble with.
The video quality is pretty good. Sound recording which can be turned off picks up well.
The motion detection seems pretty consistent as well. At least you can watch live feeds and the software is well written.
For a basic camera it is worth trying, especially since the price is low for what you get.
Updated As ofJan2023. Although I do not use this on a regular basis other than to monitor deliveries or visitors and for trips while away. It still works great. The new software update is nice and easy to use. Give them credit for keeping that up to date an access to settings well thought out. Also there is an app for PC and Phone. I bought another just as a back up or if I want to monitor more around the house.

Lo malo es que no tiene AI que diferencie los movimientos, ya que se activa alerta en mi caso cuando esta la vision noctura y un mosquito/mosca pasa cerca de la camara manda alerta de movimiento detectado, la bocina y microfono funciona decente. Por el precio creo es una buena opcion.
