FAQ:

Q: Does the company or anyone have access to the video other than me on the app? I have heard you have to agree before camera will work?
A: Yes, the company may have access to your camera at any time, and they can record you when they wish to do so. If you want to record yourself, you can either install an SD card or pay the Yi people to "record" the live feed and let you watch it on their servers.

Q: Must be able to turn off audio recording, not just during playback. Can this be done?
A: Yes, you can turn on or off both video and audio recording from the phone app. You can also independently turn each camera on or off and turn on or off the blue light on the camera indicating it is recording.

Q: When I put the app on my phone, it wants a code that I don't have, and I can't go any further. Did you have this problem?
A: A QR code should pop up on the app when you go to pair the camera with your phone. The app generates that for you. It's a digitized looking box (black and white) that's the "code."

Q: Can I put 2 extra cameras in my basement?
A: Yes, you can install multiple cameras on the same account.

Q: Is there more than a 4-camera system available to buy? Is there 7 days storage in the cloud for free?
A: There may be larger packages available, but you can always buy multiple packages or single cameras. As far as cloud storage goes, yes, there is seven days of free storage.

Q: Can I use this 4-pack of cameras in different places with different IP addresses?
A: Yes, you can. You can view all cameras on the app even if they are in different locations with different IP addresses.

Q: What size of SD card does the camera use?
A: The camera uses a microSD card and supports memory from 4GB to 126GB.

Q: Does this camera take a picture when motion is detected?
A: Yes, this camera records when motion is detected, and you will be alerted once motion has been detected. You can turn on the Motion Detection feature via the YI Home App by following these steps:
