Yi Home Surveillance – Home surveillance is something that everyone should take seriously. But sadly that is not the case. Most of the highly reputable brands charge top dollar for their products. And if you want to enjoy the full set of features which they advertise, you need to pay a little extra. Users pay for the camera up front and then after purchasing they realize if they want real-time updates and cloud recording, they need to pay for a subscription which gives them those features.
Enter Yi Home Camera. This surveillance camera promises uncompromising quality at a relatively low price. Just to be clear, we are not being paid or sponsored for this. We purchased this camera to test it out and review. Apparently, it will take some time to review the product thoroughly, so we just wanted to layout the product features and specifications.
