Hey Vince! Welcome! :wave:

Yes, you can mix and match Kami and YI cameras and you can use either the YI Home or Kami Home app.

No plans for a peephole camera that I know of, but it sounds cool, I’ll bring it up with the team. Thanks!

Does the doorbell have AutoAnswer feature?Thank you!

#28

Hey Dan, the Kami Doorbell will have the option to playback responses but they won’t be automatic. So when someone presses the doorbell, you will be able to select an appropriate pre-recorded response such as “Sorry I’m not interested”, or “come around the back” etc. Hope that makes sense!

Doorbell and cameras

This looks very tempting i am sorely lacking security on the front door and want to keep in the single app experience with appropriate integration hooks

#33

Very excited about the doorbell. Currently 5 cameras installed. Will there be a way to view more than 4 cameras at once?

#34

Hey Nat welcome to the forum! It sounds like you know your stuff. PS love the photos in your bio!

Hey Otis, thanks for joining the forum :slight_smile: Great to hear you have experience with that many YI cameras! The multicam view in the app is limited to 4 cameras at once but you can view up to 9 at once on the desktop app.

I’ve got 5 Yi Domes covering my elderly mother’s apartment and 4 covering my house, all of which I can monitor on my Windows desktop. Love them!!!
Adding 2 Doorbell cameras to my house will require the 6 to be on a separate account and window but it’ll be worth it. Can you have the Doorbell camera be powered by the existing low voltage transformer so it’ll replace a wired doorbell? Also, will you have angled base plates to adjust the coverage horizontally and vertically. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Hi @Ted1722 welcome to the forum! It’s so great to hear that your cameras are able to give you peace of mind and keep your mother safe. We love to hear stories like this, so thank you for sharing.

Your story about you Mother just reminded me that we’re currently working on a fall detection algorithm that would send an alert if anyone fell within the field of view of the camera. So I might get in touch with you about this in the near future.

In regard to the the doorbell camera, it will be available in two configurations - battery powered, and wired (connected to a regular wall outlet via a MicroUSB cable. The camera angle is super wide, do as long as it is at the right height you won’t need to worry about getting enough coverage. I’ll let if I can get a screenshot to post.

Thanks again Ted!

Nice feature…I would love to see this…

#39

@Juarezpj I’ll try and get some footage of the algorithm in action!

#40

I don’t know how I missed this in the forums. The design looks simple yet professional. Will this be available in different finishes? Can’t wait to see footage of the viewing angle and picture quality. The product looks great!

#41

Hey @BrandenB this is an older version. The latest design is what you saw in this thread. :+1:

#43

I see lol I was a little confused. I did end up purchasing another camera I should be receiving it today with a six month cloud subscription, it is the AI+ model, So I am excited to check that one out I will leave a review for it. Have a great day

#44

Nice! I have one of those AI+ cameras with the human detection. It’s great!

#45

Any ideas of release date?

For all those living in in a strata building where modification to the exterior (to the share space) is not allowed, a peephole camera would make a world of difference. This will also enable the first company able to come up with a one-size-fit-all peephole / doorviewer solution to be the first to capture the high-density market that is untapped by anyone right now.

Here are a few criteria you can consider looking into, if you are considering a peephole camera

  1. Optics to allow integration into existing peephole from behind the door.
  2. Manual adjustment of exposure / iris / focus of the lens

I believe it’s best not to deal with additional optics, and just have a modular lens approach.

  1. Lens to look like existing peephole - need to have a few options so it match existing peephole to avoid strata issues
  2. Lens module to be screwed / locked back into the rest of the camera.

I have some ideas as I’ve already dissembled my 1080p camera and stuck that into the peephole. I would be happy to discuss them with you.

The high density market is very lucrative since when you have a peephole camera, everyone will want one.
