I’ve tried that about 20 times. I’ve tried a different network and tried the app on 2 different devices. Not sure if I can update firmware??
I have now also tried a different phone with a fresh app download and new account. The camera says paired but the app says failed to pair.
It has to be a problem in the app. Please help.
Hello @v6miggy were you able to try updating the firmware?
>>> Open up your app.
>>> On the bottom menu selection at the bottom right, is “discover”.
>>> Under “Account Settings”, select “Update firmware manually”, 7th option down
>>> Hit “Start Now”
Let us know how this goes. We can escalate from there if needed.
I am using the Yi Iot app. The process you’re referring to is in the Yi Home app for a kami camera. My camera is floureon and has no purple light. Using the reset only makes it give the 2 bleeps to re pair and then the re pair fails on the app. My camera says connected to wifi and pairing successful but the app says failed to load please reset camera. I’ve literally tried everything 
I am also having these exact same problems
Hey @JarvisA Welcome to the community! I am sorry to hear you’re having pairing time issues. If they are persisting, please email our Technical Support at support@yitechnology.com

It is quite clearly the App as the Camera Pairs with Wifi and the app just sits, then the camera times out. So the camera is connecting to Wifi and attempting to pair. The support team couldnt do anything but this is happening so many times there is clearly a significant problem. Something has been updated which has caused this problem. I have 4 of these cameras and have previously been telling anyone who will listen to get them as they have been great. I certainly wont be doing that and I will be adding reviews to Amazon where I bought them to tell people of the issues and lack of assistance.

Same Problem. Scan QR on back of Yi 1080, then it connects successfully to wifi, then “pairing process takes about 1-2 minutes…” and end up with “pairing has timed out, please reset the camera”
Hey @joshd Thanks for coming to the community! you’ve come to the right place to learn from others and share your experience.
We just have a couple of quick questions to help us better understand what the exact problem is.
What is the power source of the camera?
How far away from the wifi router is it?
Is the wifi router connected to 2.4ghz or 5ghz?
How many walls in between the camera and the wifi router?
What is the outermost wall made of?
Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter! I hope you’re having a lovely day 
2.4gh only network, three inches from router, using mfr power cord to mfr usb plug. Connects to WiFi and light turns solid blue…then the last seconds of the processes times out and advises to reset the camera
Hey @joshd thanks for the information. I am going to send you a direct message about this issue. Make sure we get this taken care of for you.
Check your forum inbox. Thanks!
I am having the exact same problem as joshd in the same circumstances (no walls, WiFi a couple of feet line-of-sight, all factory equipment). For me, this happened right out of the box. Resetting the camera doesn’t help.

Hey @jg101090 Thanks for coming to the community! Glad to have you around. Can you give us a little more detail on what’s going on?
I have the same problem my cam got disconnected and now it is not pairing. It gives a message Pairing timed out. I have tried all the methods discussed in this forum including the one related to unblocking the IP in the router. Nothing works. Its just been a few months that I bought this camera and the issue persists.
The IP was the problem on mine too , for some reason my router was blocking the cameras IP thank you so much !

Thanks for the update @Rolo ! That’s a good place to start when having connection issues. Check your router settings and sometimes it is as simple as that.
Happy Holidays to all!
