4/5Much better - Thank you so much for finally listening and for the last update!
Now that is a real update worthy of 5 stars. Changed rating from Zero to 4. Only because when I purchased the product a year ago I was promised 7 days cloud service then you cut it to 3 then 1 day. SD functionality completely taken away Dear Kami, Zero rating. This is not the first time you have taken away features. When I first purchased the product I was promised 7 day cloud service. Then you reduced to 3 days and now one year later it is only one day. The latest update in September 2021 took away many and more features to make it impossible for SD card users to review history. I got an email saying that you released an update. That is not true! I updated the the app an still does not work. I can no longer see video stored on the SD card beyond one day. You also took away the time stamp feature. I removed and reinstalled the app; same issue. Your tech support is unresponsive. You cannot ever get anyone on the line. I hope to get your attention here. If you want me to redo this review please revert back to the previous version or fix this one right away. Your email about the fix is not true. The issues are not fixed. Your phone message says my call is very important. Then why you never have anyone to answer. That is dishonest. Please update your message to say there is no phone support. Just tell the truth instead of sending emails saying you fixed the bug and asking your customers to update their reviews.

1/5They charge for their cams and make money from ads
Yi and Kami (same parent company) used to be good until they’ve slowly stripped away features and now displays ads before you can access your cameras. It is frustrating to have to deal with ads when you get an alert from your camera and cannot view the video right away. The biggest pros to these cameras was the built in SD card slots so you can have a SD card in them to record the video and not have to pay for cloud based storage or subscription. Now this company is requiring the purchase of their cloud “premium” subscription in order to remove the ads. I will be replacing their cameras with Kasa and Tapo cams, same SD card slots and functionality but without the ads. If you’re going to delay the viewing of my cameras with ads, then the cameras should be free. I do not appreciate displaying ads for cameras I’ve paid for. By the time I get through the ads, the event for the alert I’ve received has already passed. I am scared for not being able to view critical events right away, where each second counts. Update: And their response is to offer a discount on their premium subscription to remove the ads. What a shake-down! My Kasa and Tapo cams are ad free and works the same way. Buy those instead. (Sort the reviews by most recent and you’ll see how these cams used to be good. Now they are just money hungry. Yi and Kami are the same company so don’t buy Yi cameras either unless you want the same headache dealing with ads.)

1/5Unreliable
I’ve written to customer support twice on this issue with no actual help from them. I have the battery powered outdoor Kami camera. It was easy to setup and shows a great image. However we have had no success in capturing motion at our house. Our son who walks out of the front door where the camera is posted and down to the mailbox. He is only on camera opening the front door upon his return. We have had multiple people walk on to our property only to be captured after standing at the front door for a period or time. This camera doesn’t have a “zone” and I’m not sure what makes it pick up some images. We have played with the settings and even have it set for the highest alerts. Today it missed my son walking to the front door until the door was opened beneath the camera. Yet, it showed the large fedex truck driving away earlier this afternoon. I don’t understand. We have a full charge on the batteries, an SD card installed and have adjusted the settings multiple times. I have had this camera less than 1 month. We only got this camera because we loved our indoor Yi camera. This Kami wireless camera is junk!! I’m sending this back for a refund immediately.

1/5YIKES! Run away DO NOT BUY!
First I know this review will get buried as all negative ones about this product do. You’ll see the positive ones first. I had 4 of these cameras in operation. Yes they worked well for almost a year. Then the marketing began. At first the cameras wouldn’t work unless I subscribed. I managed to click around the blocks and was able to use the systems. After a few months I had to sign in and reset my password to use the cameras. Next came having to reload the app on all my devices. Finally I was blocked from using the system at all, and here’s the scary part. They blocked my accounts and gave me a listing of ALL OF my account activity with details of every alarm and use . They were monitoring Everything!! Wow, how scary is that. They even had my user name for other apps that I use. If you have read this review this far here’s what I tell you. Unless you’re into being hacked and scammed do not use these cameras. One, you are being serious tracked, two, there service are not inexpensive and doesn’t deliver, three, system is not secure, and finally there is no technical support to solve any problems. And DO not click on the link they provide. Doom and gloom will follow.

1/5This app and company went down hill fast!
I have bought over five cameras for my wife’s business as well as our home to make sure everything is monitored and protected. I installed large SD cards to ensure I can look back at all the video and relied on this application to provide accurate. Live video data as well. The fact that you don’t subscribe to their cloud service, which by the way, makes zero sense if you have a large SD card installed is ridiculous. These ads are beyond atrocious and for them to be on a security app shows that they do not care about security, they care about getting as much money from you for their cloud service, which by the way I have never used or accessed once due to the SD cards. They need to push an update to the app to remove all these ridiculous ads and stop that limited live time view. I’m gonna be searching out a different company that value security first and add revenue last. I spent a lot of money purchasing these cameras and then re-purchasing updated models based on new features and better video quality that was promised. This is a warning to anyone if you have their camera throw it away go with a different company.
