Taking photo failed

Getting the “Taking photo failed” for some of my cams since years(!!) now but YI/Kami were not able to fix it. Anyone else experience this in the Windows App (YI Home + Kami Home, newest versions)?

With the Android App it works for all of my cams so it is clear that the Windows app has a bug. Even so it seems to be related to the FW version of the cam:

Cam Firmware latest?

OK Cam1 2.1.0E_201809191630 up-to-date
OK Cam2 3.0.0D_201809111954 up-to-date

There is no FW update available for Cam4-6 + YI Home and Kami Home PC App latest update was in Year 2020!!

Tried what you suggested, but:
Taking photo failed

The version is still from 2020:

So it is logical that the issue still occurs…

Already contacted “customer support” many times regarding to this issue and since there is still no new version of the app it does not make sense to waste my time contacting them again.

More features are coming soon… :sweat_smile:

Any idea when there will be a new version of the PC app?
