Review on πŸ“· YI 2pc Security Camera Outdoor: Waterproof, Cloud, WiFi, Night Vision – Smart Surveillance Front Door IP Camera with Motion Detection, Smartphone App and Alexa Compatibility by Charles Butler

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Did it only last 3 months?

Very good camera. Installed it outside near the front door so I could see the driveway and front of my house. True HD quality and you can download the video straight to your phone to save for later use if needed. Highly recommended! Update from 06/09/18 - one of the outdoor cameras has failed. There appears to be water in the lens and the indicator is solid green. I tried resetting the camera and turning it off for a while but still nothing. I have contacted YI Support for further assistance. I am changing my rating from 5 to 2 until the issue is resolved. Updated 6/11/18. The support contacted me and will send me a new camera. But! Today I came home and found that now my other outdoor camera is not working! Tried reset and still nothing. It strikes me as strange that both cameras failed with a difference of only a few days. They are both installed side by side under the eaves of my house. One goes to the front path and the other to the lane. I contacted support again about the second camera. But now I am reducing my rating to 1 and do not recommend these cameras if they only last 3 months. I will update again as soon as I get new cameras.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Tread carefully, these outdoor cameras from this company seem to fail with regularity.
