Review: I really like this camera - I've had this for quite some time now , I dont know why I haven't left a review yet 🫣 . This is a good camera with good picture quality. I use it in my autistic sons bedroom so I can keep an eye on him . The fact I can talk to him via the camera is a big hit
Review: Nice product let down by poor software and advertising. - Great cameras, good value for money and a very easy setup. I have 8 of these, various models and ages from the last 4 years. I even used a indoor model as an outdoor camera in a sheltered spot and it's still fully functional. Really let down by the software and the advertising. I don't want a game from the play store demo playing before I can view my camera. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend them on that basis. A once excellent product ruined by advertising. Now with twice the advertising and a 90 second view of live video. User experience terrible unless you pay £130 subscription. It gets worse, now I have to pay to unlock HD live video. Look at the reviews on Play Store.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this work to put in the vehicle?  possibly 2 front and back. Have street parking only,  in last 4 months my car was scratched by other car twice**
A: Avoid this brand just as they removed the ability to record to SD card. They have now also removed the six second cloud storage previously included, rendering the seven cameras I had useless. I am currently waiting for Amazon customer services to come back to me as I am asking for a full refund, I will be going to my credit card company for a chargeback under section 75 for supplying goods that are not as described

**Q: Hi how long is the lead on the cameras and do I need to buy a uk plug also is it a 32g memory card I need many thanks Angela**
A: Its about a 2m lead and you don't need an adaptor as it fits UK sockets. The manual says micro SD card from 8gb to 32gb. Please not that it only records 6 seconds of video unless you sign up and pay a monthly subscription

**Q: I’ve had my 2 cameras for 18 months working so why now do I have to sign in to face book to use them and have my personal details shared with 3rd part**
A: Dear Customer,

thanks for contacting us and for your question.

If on the other hand you haven't placed any order from our store yet, simply click our store name (Seeverything UK) from the Amazon page of this product, click the Ask Product Question button on the top right and write your inquiry as explained above.

In both cases, one of our customer service representatives will reply you shortly.

Also, since in order to investigate this issue we also need your YI Home login email, kindly provide also this information when contacting us.

**Q: What is this difference between yi home camera vs yi home camera 3? comparative table suggests they are the same**
A: Dear Customer,

thanks for contacting us and for your question.

### ⭐ Nice product let down by poor software and advertising.
*by E***T on 13 December 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well impressed with this camera and would certainly recommend to friends
*by J***C on 14 June 2020*

For the price this camera is amazing! It does exactly what I want, I can view what is going on at the front of the house via my phone or my echo show. Yes it does work through the window - just turn off the infa red lights and you can get a clear picture (this will depend on the lighting available outside, e.g. street lights or put a motion detector light up outside to improve the image). Even the motion detector works through the double glazing! You can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor to your own needs via the app, which is very easy to use. I was that impressed I purchased one for the garden and recommend to my daughter who has purchased one too! All in all a very good camera and very good service from the seller. Update:- People are saying you only get 6 seconds viewing time after an alert, this is correct, but you can get round this by using an sd card and recording 24/7. Once you receive a notification you can instantly click on the alert to view the 6 second clip and then rewind or forward the recording as much as you want. You do not need to use the cloud for storage hence no further payments required. Hope this helps.
