Mr. Hawk, you did well. You imparted a lot of good information and you did it in a clear and concise way. You made it easy for the non-techie to understand. You gave pluses and minuses. Because of your review, i am sending several of these to my brother to strategically place around our Mom's home, just in case. Well done, thank you.
We’ve only had the cameras up and running for a short time. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxOXxsTZ3ptV_Pk0fFl8bNZvVqeoqBQFwe So far we love them! I got the outdoor mounting kit for them and they were easy to install. Once you download the app, it walks you through the very easy set up. The clarity, and range is awesome. I am thinking seriously about adding another camera or two to my 3 camera system. The price is lower than a lot of comparable systems.
Comes out Oct 2nd and I'll need about 10+ days to test it out thoroughly. Hopefully, I can get an early review unit this time around but probably would have heard something by now.
'Cool, informative videos Mark, Thanks. Suggestion: To show field of view better: Put some lines on the ground at 90 degrees, 60 degrees, 30 degrees etc then put the camera at the point where the lines come together. Then to show pincushion and barrel distortion while still illustrating field of view, pick the camera up to 6ft or so above where the lines come together and then tilt the camera up and down so it sweeps over the lines .
Marrkkk! HTC Re can now be bought less than $100 and in that price its a perfect deal! Can you try to get one to review and give some comparison of it and the old Xiaomi Yi? Thaannkks :)
Hello, With my yi 1 I opened it up (4 screws) and disconnected the IR so it can be put next to a window. Then mounted an external IR outside. Given the picture you sent it looks likely that could be done with this not too difficult :)
So if I delete the old videos off the app , are they still on the sd card? Or if they get automatically deleted off the app with new videos, Will they still be on the sd card?
How is the quality of the incoming mic audio for your unit? When I access my Yi Home Camera 2 through the Yi Home app on my smartphone and attempt to listen to the audio it sounds distorted and garbled.
how is the lag time to use it live streaming to the phone not recording just directly monitoring the camera while at home. Say camera is downstairs and you are watching your phone upstairs in a room? What is the lag time? a second or 1/2 second or really long like a minute or 20 seconds?
I just the YI Home Camera, I connected it to my home wi-fi, but when I leave the house, it disconnected. How do I watch the live stream from my job, to see what is going on in my home?
In India it is compatible with 32 GB card. How much time it will store the video.. One day, two days? If connected to MI cloud.. How much data Internet it will use?
Me too. Currently dealing with hardware/software issues. Financially obstructed from fixing it faster. Hopefully everything will start to trickle out but Oct 31st.
Can "crying baby" detect and alert me if my dog will bark? Also, can the detection region be dragged as wide as the whole length of the view field? Thanks
Yes and yes. I actually use the Dog alert scenario in this video. Had a dog in distress, camera alerted me, was able to come home and stop a faulty fire alarm beeping.
Wow this Yi Home seems to have a lot to it! I've never been into Home security and stuff like that but with the increase of thefts in the area I thought about installing one/two external cameras just to be safe. I already have the Xiaomi Yi, European version with the latest firmware, and despite the lack of stabilization(which I knew about anyway) I absolutely love it! I might give this a try, they're cheap as usual and seem to work great :) can you hook these with smart home services and stuff like that?
@@kathyramos2924 does it need home wifi? Can i connect with my phone? I use dash cam and i can connect my dash cam through the app on my phone and can watch all records also able to download
Yi home cameras are not compatible with newer Iphone's that use 5 GHZ wifi. The yi home app uses wifi to get the QR code to connect the phone to the camera.
Nothing signed. Just an email asking if I was interested in being sent a review unit of the Yi 2. Wasn't until it showed up that I realized the Yi 2 was their home security camera. This was back in May, a month or 2 before the Yi 4K was announced.
Computer issues. Having a hard time this year with things working reliably. Software/Hardeare I often come to rely on is slowly killing me. I do have all of them though. Been filming with them for weeks.
Just had to be there for a personal event in the family, deal with a gigantic forest fire, wait a month for our HVAC replacement in roughly 105+ heat, and solve some memory leak issues in Premiere. ;) very far behind though.

Yi seems to be killing it lately. Action cam. Home cam. New 4k m43 cam. Covering all bases with companion apps to boot.
Very good and complete review, in all other channels they do not explore each feature as you did, nice job
Quick doubt, how long is the cool down period of the camera, does it affect the recording or just the notification?
Regards
I bought 3 1080p and 1 dome cam🥇🥇 and loving it🥇
Thank you Mark! Great review
Mark! Just today GoPro announced Hero 5. Its time for a long awaited review ;)
Thanks for the nice channel.
Comes out Oct 2nd and I'll need about 10+ days to test it out thoroughly. Hopefully, I can get an early review unit this time around but probably would have heard something by now.
Are you planning to post a gopro hero 5 black review?
Hey mark, will you be reviewing the newer Sony HDR AS300? thinking of upgrading to it from my HDR AS100v
Chris C
I would love it if this camera and the Yi app worked with other services such as IFTTT or Wink!!!! Then it would be a best Nest Cam alternative.

Sony X3000 is now available cant wait for your review and comparison

very good review
Very informative .. nice! :)
Wow. for about $40 this camera has a ton options. Why even bother wasting your money with Nest?
the nest probably comes with a decent manual, unlike anything from yi
How do you attach it to walls or ceiling? Just with adhesive sticker?
So if I delete the old videos off the app , are they still on the sd card? Or if they get automatically deleted off the app with new videos, Will they still be on the sd card?
Can we use 2 mobile phones for remote viewing ? Thanks.
How is the quality of the incoming mic audio for your unit? When I access my Yi Home Camera 2 through the Yi Home app on my smartphone and attempt to listen to the audio it sounds distorted and garbled.
yes there are outdoor cases for it.
Nice review. Did you have to do anything to your home router like changing port forwarding, to access the camera from outside your home?
Should I get this or the dome or is there a better camera in general. Please reply as soon as possible. Looking to get one soon.
Very cool thank you
how is the lag time to use it live streaming to the phone not recording just directly monitoring the camera while at home. Say camera is downstairs and you are watching your phone upstairs in a room? What is the lag time? a second or 1/2 second or really long like a minute or 20 seconds?

0:16 Did you try to open your camera? Or does it come out of the box like that (it looks partially open from the side)?
Master question: Does it record automatically and delete automatically???
Can this be used as a baby monitor? Is it just video or sound also?
They need to bring a weather proof / resistant version out along with more mounting options and even a robotic form factor option.
How do you make motion detection video clips lonnger?
In India it is compatible with 32 GB card. How much time it will store the video.. One day, two days? If connected to MI cloud.. How much data Internet it will use?
Mine works fine but how do i get it to work on mobile data to watch away from home. Works fine with wifi on phone but no to mobile data
Can I set up multiple cameras and viewed it in one phone?
yes. up to 5 any yi brand, i know cuz i bought 1
can you view two cameras on one screen at once?
At 11:25, how did you hide the cable of the camera?
Can I turn off the IR lighting ? Thanks
Mark, a stupid question. For alerts to be working, the Yi Home needs to be in a wifi zone (let's say this way), right?
Correct, it sends the message via wifi to their app server. Then the app server sends a notification to your app on the phone.
In the footage, I noticed you pushed it to youtube. How did you stream it to youtube?
Cant wait for your hero5 session / black review and comparisons :) when did you plan to do it? :)
Me too. Currently dealing with hardware/software issues. Financially obstructed from fixing it faster. Hopefully everything will start to trickle out but Oct 31st.
+MarkHawkCam how is it going? :) hope you could fix the problems by now :/
Hello, can i see 2 cameras on one screen at the same time
Does it over writes the recording in SD card?
does it time stamp each video?
Need Olympus TG-Tracker review Mark! :)
Does anyone has an issue of pairing this device? I got "pairing has timed out".. my router is asus rt-n14uhp..
Can "crying baby" detect and alert me if my dog will bark? Also, can the detection region be dragged as wide as the whole length of the view field? Thanks
Yes and yes. I actually use the Dog alert scenario in this video. Had a dog in distress, camera alerted me, was able to come home and stop a faulty fire alarm beeping.
is this working here in the philipines??
Oo gagana yan sa pinas and kahit saang bansa

Not necessary buy a sd card and your good

gopro 5 comparison and review please
Why dont you upload a new review/comparison?:/ Hope you are alright man✌
check out the brand new sony HDR as-300!
I wish it was completely wireless
So in order to get the free camera you had to sign a contract? Is that the case for every camera you review and don't buy yourself?
Nothing signed. Just an email asking if I was interested in being sent a review unit of the Yi 2. Wasn't until it showed up that I realized the Yi 2 was their home security camera. This was back in May, a month or 2 before the Yi 4K was announced.
MarkHawkCam Thanks for the reply :)
How do I set this camera up to use with the SD only without the smart phone?
When Sony AS-300 ?
Xiaomi should made similar camera but with outdor cover
Waiting for Hero 5 review
Computer issues. Having a hard time this year with things working reliably. Software/Hardeare I often come to rely on is slowly killing me. I do have all of them though. Been filming with them for weeks.
MarkHawkCam Waiting for you man. Only really trust your action cam reviews. I couldnt really care about the other reviews on youtube.
No pc management is a deal breaker for me.
im here only because I got this camera by mistake instead of car camera :/
There is home camera models 1 and 2, in your review its 2 thats ok. But what is this ?
www.gearbest.com/ip-cameras/pp_615275.html?wid=21
Audio issues , very static
Hmm looks like you live in Cali
your back ＼(^o^)／
Just had to be there for a personal event in the family, deal with a gigantic forest fire, wait a month for our HVAC replacement in roughly 105+ heat, and solve some memory leak issues in Premiere. ;) very far behind though.
1080p look like 720p
Can this cam record audio ?
