Yi Home Camera 1080p App Guide - With so many options for security cameras nowadays, choosing the right security products for your home can be overwhelming. This can be especially stressful for folks on a budget, who desire a more protected home but can’t plunk down hundreds of dollars to achieve it.

That’s why I was so excited to try out YI, a relative newcomer to the always-evolving home security space. From what I’d heard about the brand, they’re all about making things as simple as possible for users, which includes easy installation and setup, an intuitive and straightforward app, and a solid, practical design. On the other hand, not everyone is sold on the performance of this low-cost camera, specifically when it comes to motion detection.

Getting to Know Our YI Home Camera 3
At first glance at the YI Home Camera 3, the $26 price tag threw me. Is there a catch here? Does this thing even work? Isn’t there a hub or base station required somewhere?

Within minutes, it was clear there was no catch to be found. No complicated assembly, no long, drawn-out setup steps, no hubs, no brackets, no screws, no drills, no labor. The YI Home 3 camera was pretty much ready to use right out of the box.

For folks who would rather skip hassles associated with traditional home security equipment, the YI camera is surely a welcome choice. But that’s certainly not the end of the story – there are some noticeable drawbacks, too.

Setting up the Camera in YI Home App
YI’s technology seems pretty fast and powerful, at least in the setup stage. It does speak to the power of YI’s network and its ability to alert users to potential danger,1 so I felt confident going into the first round of tests with the YI camera. (For other ways to protect your home and prevent hazards, check out our expert guide to home safety.)

Pro Tip: If you’re trying to get the most coverage possible out of your YI Home 3, it’s recommended to place it in the corner of your room, slightly elevated, where its wide-angle lens can be optimized.

Both the camera and the app will guide you through voice commands (sometimes at the same time, which was a little disorienting) as you go through the setup process. This involves little more than scanning the camera’s QR code, which is located on the back of the camera, and a few other quick steps to pair the YI Home Camera 3 to your smartphone. It might take three minutes to install from start to finish – simply put, a really fast setup time by any standard.

YI Home 3: The Full Experience
I was drawn initially to the camera’s sleek, modern look. Indeed, you won’t find any bulk or heft here. YI is all about clean, round lines and slim construction, so if that fits your style, you should be pleased. And – just because they’re so inexpensive – you’ll probably want more than one of these cameras around your home. If you like the look, you should have no problem blending these cameras with the rest of your home decor.

I also thought the YI’s build could be likened to Zmodo. In my review of Zmodo’s Sight 180 C, you’ll see a similar lightweight construction and easy installation. Though Zmodo cameras don’t carry the same stylish and modern design, they do handle entry-level home security quite well. If you’re the no-frills type, Zmodo is a nice choice.

And just like Zmodo’s simple, lightweight indoor camera, the YI Home 3 has a neat magnetic base that you can basically slap onto any metal surface.
