wireless outdoor cam base station will not connect to phone

Hey @Manxies Can you confirm for me the camera model you are writing about? I want to make sure I have the right info for you when we try to trouble shoot.

Kami wire free outdoor camera…with smart security base station.

@Manxies if you have tried all these steps and it is still. We would like to upgrade you to our newer model Wireless Outdoor Camera. This will help resolve the pairing station problem.

Steve…what a lovely gesture… but I am sure the camera will be fine, it is the base station that does not work, is there not another way to connect it ? Does the upgraded camera have a base station?

I have a Yi indoor cam and when that pairs with the phone it makes lots of noise. When the smart hub is trying to connect it makes no noises other than the odd 2 beeps… is it supposed to make more noises when trying to connect “


Hi sTEVE…JUST TO BE SURE, THESE ARE MY CAMERAS , THE BASE STATIONS DO NOT CONNECT , IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN USE THE CAMERAS WITHOUT THE BASE STATIONS? Both are new and both don’t work.

Hi it’s right next to it…the app is not picking up the base hub just scans then says unable to connect …I would expect once the hub is connected to the app the camera should connect…thanks

Hey @Lamazza Thanks for your feedback and assistance resolving this problem. I’m going to send you a direct message so we can talk a little more about this.

I don’t suppose you think that the cameras will work without the base station then Steve. Such a shame as they look robust good quality. Is there a known problem with connecting to the base station? I suppose that is the end of the road for me?

Im going to send you a direct message so we can follow up in more detail about this.

Ok Steve…thanks for helping. Do you have my email address?

Hi… don’t think they will do any more testing as they no longer manufacture these due to known issues that o by any be rectified :worried:

Steven I am having the same issue as all if these other people. Any resolution?

Hey @Brewi3 Just want to confirm, have you taken a look at this forum thread and tried the troubleshooting resolutions?

Have far away is the router? Make sure all devices are connected to 2.4ghz, not 5g

How many walls in between the router and the camera/base station?
What’s the outermost wall made of?

I hope all goes well. Keep us posted.
Give this link a try as well https://help.yitechnology.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260800980510-Kami-Smart-Security-Base-station-Pairing-Tutorial

Yes I have read all of the others posts. All of the lights are correct but when I search for device it never finds it. I have used all of the troubleshooting options

Hey @Brewi3 Deepest apologies. We are working to improve our sites and sometimes unexpected things happen so we were down for a few days. I am so sorry for any incovenience you experienced as a result while troubleshooting the base station and camera.

I am going to send you a direct message so we can get to the bottom of this right away.

I got the same issue,
Any suggestion?
