Terrible battery life.

The setup was fine but I already have YI cameras so I knew the tricks. Missing features. The motion detection area cannot be set. YI Home for PC does NOT work with Kami cameras. The technician told me "It works fine." NO. The camera is not even recognized. The YI app for Android and iPad recognizes Kami and the Kami app recognizes YI cameras but still needs a working PC app. Spoiler. The battery life is terrible. Mine has been up and running for a few days and the batteries are almost dead…

Pros
  • Still happy
Cons
  • Negative impression

Doesn't go with Kami's name?

My review I posted in March 2020 was deleted for some reason. It was also a one star rating. I've only had problems with this camera since I've had it. The last problem is that water got in front of the lens and I can't remove it. I emailed tech support and a week later got a reply on how to reset a camera that doesn't do anything with water in front of the lens. I have other Yi cameras and have no problems. I received the first generation wireless outdoor camera with battery and it broke…

Not what it seems - CCTV

This is a great crystal clear video camera so the plus here is the poor battery life of 3-4 months if not left on at all. I left mine the first day after it was fully charged and it died the next day. I was told you can't keep it on 24/7. They never said the battery would last 3-4 months. And here's another downside: you have to use this app, and if you need more than one camera, using the cloud system will cost you $129 a year. So here's my problem, just write everything in the description and

Very good BUT. You have to PAY

OK. So I have 4 Yi cameras at home, all plugged into an outlet. You are fantastic. They each have a 32GB micro SD card and endlessly record every lotion I can go back to and review at any time. Once when we were at home, a strange woman came into our house and the cameras filmed everything for the police. After this incident I decided to get this outdoor wireless. GOOD: The image quality is quite good. Batteries last at least a month. The wide angle is excellent. THE BAD: Although I installed a

motion detection error.

Great concept! no wire? Well! However, there are too many glitches. First, battery life. After more than 8 hours of charging, I lost a strip within 2 hours. I haven't tried the new firmware so I'm not sure if it's fixed or not. Second. motion detection. I set up two different cameras pointing in the same direction for over an hour. Another camera of Yi's caught everything, even my neighbor's cat. However, this cami cam received NOTHING. He even missed a big school bus. Missed by UPS, AMAZON…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Secret
