These are amazing.  I had other wireless cameras and wasn't sure about using their side-car router...but it works amazing.  What I like about these versus my TENVIS cameras is they don't bog down the internet at my house.  When I first got them I was over excited and had it recording everything like a kid.  Now I'm more realistic and sparing and so the batter last longer.  Because they were magnetized I stuck them to everything outside (including drain spouts) for a nights recording.  Very neat.

I didn't have the money to invest in Pocket Wizards, but I wanted to pursue off-camera lighting (ala Strobist). These wireless triggers are a workable substitute! I'm sure they don't have quite the range and reliability of Pocket Wizards, but they have never failed to fire.

Recently I was shooting a friend's art show, and I walked outside the building to meet someone in the parking lot. I started shooting pictures, and someone pointed out that my wireless triggers were working through the front wall of the gallery, even though both triggers (I was using two strobes) were obstructed by window glass, tables, chairs, and human bodies. They were about 75 feet away from the wireless transmitter mounted on top of my camera, yet they fired every single time!

I've only had these for about a month, but I have used them on about a dozen occasions, maybe 500 shots total. If one of them ever failed to fire, I didn't notice it. The batteries are not dead yet, even though at one point I left them on in my photo bag for a few days.

I use these with my Nikon D90. (I tried to use the transmitter on a Canon SLR from the 80's and it didn't fire. I'm not sure why that is. The camera can fire my Nikon SB-600 just fine, but not this wireless transmitter.)

These are awesome!  I've had several brands of wireless headphone.  Ive ended up losing all the ther ones and trying to awkwardly tie them around my neck etc.  These ones are difficult to lose cuz they just hang out on your neck and you can just pull out the ear buds when u wanna use em or take a call.  Also stays hidden under collared shirt when on neck.  Battery life is phenomenal!!

I was looking for an economic wireless network camera. I got much more than I expected with this camera.

 If you are anything above a Lv 3 techie/nerd class, and have ever setup a home wireless access point (with WEP/WPA encryption and know anything about SSIDs) or an DSL/Cable router then you'll be able to set this up via the built in web interface within mere minutes. If you do not have these skills or if you normally do, but fail your saving throw versus new technologies, you'll want to get that neighbor kid to come over and do it for you.

I setup a static IP address on this unit (due to all the DHCP lease issues I saw in other reviews) and in wireless mode I have NEVER had it drop off and not be able to connect to it. It has worked flawlessly for over a week in various positions around my house.

I live in a 2 story house my linksys wireless access point is in my basement, but I can put this camera anyplace in my house and it will connect to the wireless so I haven't encountered any issues with range (within reason, people).

The picture is 640x480 (or smaller if that's your desire) and is decent.

Things I found to be relevant:
Initial setup must be done with a wired ethernet connection.
This unit is better than it's cheaper counterpart, the WVC54GC.
This unit does do WPA2
This unit can be VIEWED in Firefox on Linux and Windows and Safari on the iPhone
Motion detection must be setup in IE or the Linksys Camera App that is included on the CD.

I like this camera. For the price there is no competitor. I am purchasing 3-4 more of these in the next month.

Amazing, I already had Vmoda headphones and these replaced my old ones that I had forever because I could never find another set that matched my original vmoda headphones. The wireless ones took it to another level I feel like nothing changed other than not having the cord. They're amazing.

These cameras do not disappoint!  Aside from them working as advertised,  the IT support these guys have is amazing.  I do not think i have ever experienced faster response time from any other product.  They do not have a phone line, but they will respond to your questions within a few hours, not only that, but if you find a bug, they will push out an update within a few days.  There were a couple of small issues with how the app worked on my phone, and they fixed the bug.  Big thanks to Jason for being super responsive.

The cameras and surveillance software works great as is, but I do hope that they will eventually add more features like ITTT support and Alexa integration.

highly recommend this to any house owner who needs to keep an eye on things when away.

Before I had this camera,Ive had this 8 unit wireless camera from a different brand,its worth the price Ive paid for but there were occasions that its lagging some of the videos because of some poor Wifi connection. Ive changed some antennas of those oness which are installed outside to have a better reception,but most of the to time its not helping. Ive come across this zmodo from one those shopping channels so I gave it a try. This unit has exceeded my expectations and Im really very happy having this unit. I can move the camera from my phone and can monitor whats going on and the picture is really great. I hope they can make one which I can install outside.

I ordered 2 to begin with and was really surprised at how small they are. A couple things that was wrong that I think need to be addressed. First off let me say the image quality for this tiny camera is amazing. I was surprised at how great the camera looked on my DVR system. Now I have a DVR system I built myself and have been using it since 2008 and never had an issue. I had been looking for a wireless camera that had ONVIF support for a while and have tested a few but none had worked. So yes I was really excited when my DVR system found the camera and connected with no issues.

  Now the reason for the 4 stars. When I got the 2 cameras in and opened the box, no power supply at all. So I had to dig around until I found a 12 volt power supply that would work with the camera. Once I wired it to my network and connected to the web interface everything seemed smooth sailing. All the settings was strait forward even connecting to my WiFi. Then that's where I started to have issues.  When I would connect it to my WiFi the unplug the network cable it would not stay connected to the WiFi network at all. So I tried a few thing on my end to try and solve the problem myself and could not get it to stay connected to my WiFi at all when not connected to my wired network. I was thinking of returning the camera and then decided I would contact customer care. Took them one day to contact me and I explained to them what was going on. They immediately sent me a firmware update and now the cameras works perfect on wireless with my DVR system. So now that I have the firmware update and got to test it out in a few places and liked them so much I ordered 2 more.

So if you are going to order this camera remember to order a power supply it does not come with one. Remember to contact customer care to get the firmware update so the wireless will work properly. once you have the update the camera should work great.

Great Camera.  The wide angle view is amazing, and these do soooo much better in low light than the so called "night-view" cameras. I have now replaced all 4 of the standard cameras that came with my kit with these. I get a much better view of my property with these cameras.

I think these are great. I'm not an audio freak, but I enjoy good sound quality as much as the next guy and I think these deliver. The price is below what they could charge in my opinion. I was pleasantly surprised, especially since they are wireless. I cant say I've very savvy when it comes to the snug ear pieces and thus wish they had come with directions or product description. There was a small trial and error learning curve that could have been easily avoided. However, I'm glad I didn't give up, because once  I figured it our and found the perfect fit, I was in love. I would have given 5 stars, but the lack of product description and/or directions would have been a deal breaker without my patience and youtube.

I bought a pair of these about 2 weeks ago and have to say that I am pleasantly surprised at how well these work. I'm usually pretty skeptical about third party electronics and was very close to pulling the trigger on $400 worth of NestCams which would've ran another $180 annually for cloud storage (which I found out isn't really necessary). Set up was SUPER easy and took no more than 15 minutes for both cams total. These have worked flawlessly for me so far. I will update if I run into any issues. Here's my 2 cents because these topics aren't heavily covered in other reviews.

The feature that surprised me after purchasing the YI Home Cam is that it DOES store footage "in the cloud" for a couple days so to speak when your motion senor is activated. I thought you were given the 7 second clip and if you weren't viewing live, you missed the rest of the event. That is not true. So long as you have the motion event or know the time in the past few days, you can rewind to view the entire event.

DOG OWNERS: Don't worry about your dog setting off the motion detector. So long as you have somewhat of a straight shot, (not mounted on the ceiling) you can crop the sensitive area to just the top 1/4 of the screen which is going to be in the field of view for any door that opens or person walking through.

720 vs 1080: I do not regret saving the $$ going with the 720. The 720 is more than sufficient for what I need and ultimately saves space on the memory card and can operate in worse networking conditions. I have the lowest tier Xfinity Comcast Performance internet speed and have not run into any connectivity issues with the 720. I don't know if I could say the same for 1080.

Multi-device viewing: My wife and I both set up our own accounts so that we can view each camera on our own phones. You can simply log into the same account on each device with the YI app (this gives full permissions to both parties,) or the primary account holder can "share" the cams to any other account, which gives you 24/7 access but limits your ability to change motion detection settings. My advice, just share the 1 account. It is also possible to view your camera(s) from a desktop, but it's not officially supported by YI so it's inconsistent and not for inexperienced PC users. If you're running Google Chrome, you can download an ARC Welder extension and then the YI App .apk file to load directly. Again, it's not anything official, so it's use at your own risk / don't expect much. I use it occasionally and it's another added bonus in my opinion.

PROS: Everything is as advertised. It simply works and is very inexpensive for the quality. (Full disclosure, I have not tried the person counting or cry detection.)

CONS: The night vision turning itself on and off when the sun rises/sets triggers motion detection. At least it does with my set up with my sensitivity settings. Might be possible to adjust this, and it's not a deal breaker, but it's annoying to get an audible alert at 5:30 AM that someone is in your house when it's just the camera tricking itself.

This camera is amazing. I would have easily expected the performance of this camera to be in the $100+ range. This thing is LOADED with features that WORK LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO. It really is amazing. And the app that controls it is constantly being upgraded with new features.
  I use this camera to monitor my front door ever since we had some kids randomly ran up to our front door and kick it, then ran away, shaking the entire house. Strange and concerning. People nowadays are random. I have a family to protect. So it was time for me to buy a camera. I had been procrastinating for years. I didn't want to spend $300 on strange hard wired cameras with black and white screens. I don't own a liquor store.

  This camera comes in a small quality box, neatly packaged. Like most Apple devices. It was impressive. So I followed the setup instructions, guided by the voice coming out of the camera. Also impressive. My phone app generated the QR code, which I then showed to the camera, and it linked right away. After entering my wifi password, another minute or so, It was set up and operational. No sweat.

 The camera has numerous fantastic options, of which are controlled by your cell phone app. There are options for
-Turning the blue LED light on the face of the camera on or off.(which I keep off)
-Motion detection High, Medium, and low. I have my cam on my porch set to low, and it will detect when a moth flies by.
-picture quality selection(HD, SD, Auto) I think the picture is excellent. I leave it in auto.
-Active field selection. Lets you drag a window of concentrated monitoring focus within the field of view. Works great.
-Wide variety of notifications for activity. Mine is set to text 2 phones for motion detection. Works great.
-night vision. Camera audibly clicks when switching between day/night mode.
-Wide field of view. Its so wide that when you are viewing your camera on the phone, if you turn your phone, you turn the view. Neat.
-optional cloud service
-gesture recognition. Among the several useful features I don't need.
-Baby crying Detection
-People body counting
-password access protection
-camera sharing
-Micro SD slot. I use a 32gb sd. Works excellent and updates card status.
-several recording options
-easy to save alert videos and snapshots. Saves to device and phone with 1 click.
-easy to dismiss and erase false alarms if needed
-multiple camera support
-Microphone/intercom You can turn the microphone on and off. Speak into your phone and it comes out of the camera. Neat.
-Snapshot function
-FANTASTIC INTERFACE ON THE APP. Everything is laid out clearly, logically, and is fun to use.

When you open the app, it takes a second or 2 to load, then a 3 second splash screen for cloud service, then your camera list. Just click on the still of the cam you want to monitor, and it buffers for a second or 2. Then you are watching.
I opened the app this morning and was greeted with new features.

The camera itself has many different mounting options. Since the micro SD mounts directly near the lens of the camera, the attractive hinged stand is completely optional, and snaps off. If you twist the weighted base, the stalk detaches at the base and reveals a smaller mountable base. OR you can release the camera unit itself from the mount completely, and just have the round black disk, with the AC cord. And it all locks back together securely. Fantastic design. Really impressive. High end. And the company is in active development with new products and excellent features and integration. Actually quite exciting. I will be looking for YI products to become a major player in the home automation market rivaling NEST and others.
I have enclosed a couple of pictures. I apologize for the spottiness and reflectivity. All picture quality problems are entirely my fault. Dirty window, etc.

This camera is a steal at double the price. Its a bargain at $100. Buy it. You won't be sorry.

Oh wow, I am super surprised and impressed with this.
Why would I want to spend $400 on a name brand when this does the same job. Its a 12mp camera.
It also comes along with all the accessories needed.

I have a tripod that this connects to easily and is secure. The fact that I can do time lapse on this camera, I do not need to use my other camera. So the 2 are great for me.
I am very happy with this.
The WiFi connectivity to the phone is great and you can control the camera while you are apart from in yet still in WiFi range. Do take note that there is a newer app for the camera/phone connection. The QR codee in the brochure leads you to the older app, so just do a search and you'll find it.
But I am very very happy with this so far.
Thank you for providing a more affordable product that allows us all to capture our adventure moments without breaking the bank.
Very happy and love it.

We bought other cameras and they were SO difficult to set up. These were easy and they work great!

wireless was the best option for me, I didn't want to install more wires around or inside my house,  this cameras fulfill all my expectations, it was almost plug and play, it was very easy to install.

I bought these units to replace an unsatisfactory wireless product which I found could not send a clear signal about 40' down a hall to a kitchen, where I have an under-the-counter TV. The wireless signal was grainy, often cut out completely- even if you did not stand between the transmitter and receiver, which was sure to cause a loss of signal.

I was amazed when I hooked up these units that they worked PERFECTLY. The video was bright, saturated and crystal clear with no grain or artifacts. The audio was also perfect- no noise or interference. I used an unshielded Mediabridge Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable (50 Feet) - RJ45 cable, and the cable was also a good choice.

My under-the-counter TV has only an 11 inch screen, so I can not say what the results would be on a larger screen. I believe this unit is only for SD (standard definition) anyway, but if your signal source is composite video, it will send it cleanly.

One of the best features of this camera if not the best is there are literally NO WIRES. Incredibly easy to install anywhere. I am currently using one at my front door and one at the back door. The magnetic mounts work very well. Overall the best wireless security option.
