In night mode the feed turns black and white, but the clarity takes a bit of a beating - subjects are not as sharp as one would expect, but the feed is good enough for faces to be recognized. In day mode, the video feed is pretty decent and colours are up to the mark. But when the light goes down further, the night mode kicks in and the IR LEDs light up the surveillance area to give a better view of the surroundings. Sadly, this camera does not have a sensor that is capable of low light vision and the feed is slightly grainy when the indoor turns a little darker. The bottom bar gives you the hourly footage and you can view all the feed/recordings stored on the camera.Īs for the performance, the camera can do pretty good when compared to other rivals in the market. You can also move back in time and see what happened during the day by simply swiping on the timeline in landscape mode.

The YI Dome Camera 1080p also has a smart baby cry detection mode that alerts you on the app the moment it detects your little one in distress. This is a nice option and very useful if you are installing it as a door camera or a baby camera. You also have a mic and speaker icon on the interface which allows you to hear what is happening in the room under surveillance, or to speak to the person(s) on the other end. It saves all this on the camera’s micro SD card or the Yi cloud if enabled. Other options on the interface are video recording and snapshot which allows you to manually record a video or take a photo of what you see. You can also zoom in to a particular area by simply pinching out. When in landscape mode, it gives you the entire 112-degree view on the screen. In portrait mode, you can either swipe on the feed to see around or pinch to zoom out and view everything in one frame. Within the viewing frame itself, you will find a control panel that allows you to pan into any direction you need. The app shows you the view of what the camera is looking at. However, this completely depends on the room size, dimensions and design and you can judge yourself where you can place it for the best coverage. Avoid using it in the corner as you would have to pan the area for a complete view. If you intend buying one of these cameras, suggest mounting it on the ceiling at one end of the room. However, the base also supports a mounting plate that allows the user to mount it on a ceiling or a wall for a better view of the surveillance area. The bottom has rubber pads that allow it to be placed on the desk/shelf and ensure that the camera has a good grip when placed on a flat area. The right and the left side has a slit hole that houses a speaker, while the front has an LED indicator and the microphone. Powering the electronics is a micro USB port that resides on the rear end, and alongside are a micro USB slot and a reset button. The wide-angle camera sensor has a 112-degree viewing area that additionally helps the user see more in a single view/frame. It can pan 345-degrees horizontally and 115-degrees vertically to view almost every angle possible.
