About this app

Control all your YI-connected devices in one place. YI Home app connects you with your family, pets, and things you love through real-time video and audio anytime, anywhere just a fingertip away.

With a simple tap on your mobile phone, you can initiate a 2-way conversation with your family remotely. Its specially designed microphone and speaker ensure loud and clear voice quality.

By simply panning your mobile phone left and right, a complete panoramic view will be displayed to provide a better viewing experience. The gyroscope support, integrated in the YI Home App, is able to follow the mobile phone orientation, making it easier to see every corner being monitored.

YI Home cameras always keep an eye on things that are important to you. With built-in high accuracy motion detection technology, the camera sends notifications to your YI Home app detailing what movement was detected so you always stay on top of things that you care about, instantly!

The YI camera can support up to 32GB SD card, it stores video and audio of special moments, fully indexed, for you to cherish at the touch of your fingertip. Best yet, a built-in mode triggers store actions only when image change is detected to achieve the best storage capacity optimization.

The adaptive streaming technology automatically adjusts to the optimal viewing quality based on your network conditions.

I brought 4 cameras years ago and everything was fine, the app was doing ok no issues. Now? I absolutely hate it, the ads is so freaking annoying, If there's ever a emergency and I gotta check the camera guess what? There's a ad when you open the app, there's a ad when you click on what camera you wanna see and of course there's a random ad that takes you out of the app itself without you even pressing anything. I'm about to just get new cameras from somewhere else, it's not worth the headache

It is alright for the first month but then if you don't pay their monthly subscription you have to watch advertisement after advertisement. You hear something outside and want to check to see what it is you have to watch a 60 second ad before you can view the camera. Recently they added ads between switching cameras so you have to watch multiple ads just to view the live feed and ads pop up all over the app, sometimes in the app I will get a pop-up saying my phone is infected with a virus.....

12/20/23: As others have said... I've used Yi for years, generally happy with it. Now, full screen ads on startup. Do not offer me a discount on an ad-free subscription. I'm not getting it. Update 1/31/25: Wow, they're really hitting the startup ads hard. Update 5/2/25: I'm moving on to a different product. The inundation of ads is not worth the quality of this product.
