Simple and reliable ip camera for home

Good day! This camera was purchased in July 2015 on the AliExpress website, but due to the seller's problems in sending, the delivery came after 2 months, when the camera was no longer needed. I wanted to set up a camera at the time of departure for my own peace of mind and control of the state of my home environment. About the camera itself: The camera with stand has the following dimensions: width/height/depth - 8/11.5/3.2 in centimeters. It looks compact, I thought for a long time where to…

Pros
  • Intuitive interface, functionality, the ability to transmit sound to the camera, motion sensor.
Cons
  • American power supply plug, Chinese time - treated with firmware, no battery.

Inexpensive IP - camera, from a well-known manufacturer

Xiaomi YI Home Camera 720p was chosen according to two criteria inexpensively and from a normal company. I bought a bengood in a Chinese store in March 2015 for $ 29. Initially, the camera was bought to control the child, when everyone is at work, and he does garbage after school :) but what he wanted does not quite work out and the camera is in the hall just to control the apartment. Occasionally, a camera helps a lot as a backup communication channel, for example, a child does not pick up the

Pros
  • Simple and affordable ip camera
Cons
  • There were troubles with the software but 4pda to help us

I have purchased 4 of these units over the course of a few months and have generally been pleased with the picture quality and monitoring capabilities. Then, in the fall, I received a data protection update. I read it and realized that by using the app you are giving the company a shopping cart form to use your data in any way they want. I did not accept the agreement. Left the camera connected but not using the application that controls it. While I didn't agree with the policy, I discovered…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires an outlet

Great first system

If you are just starting out with a home/office surveillance system then you should definitely give it a try. They work as advertised and you do NOT need a cloud subscription if you want basic monitoring. You need the cloud option if you want to store records for a long time. The iOS//Android app works as advertised. The windows based application is what you really need for your home as it allows you to display a 9 window view matrix. That's right, you can constantly display the view of nine…

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only

GREAT PICTURE (even at night) BUY THESE CAMERAS!

Well I've been using the Yi 1080p internal camera for 2 weeks now and I love it! The camera is crystal clear during the day and just as sharp at night. Additional "light signal blanking" features, such as the blue power indicator and signature red IR lights for night vision, make "blanking" these cameras an easy task. The playback function works great and shows the time in hours, minutes and seconds. The two-way talk feature works great and has 2 modes: 1 is push to talk where you can't hear…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
