Yi Dome guard - Preset bookmarks unavailable

Hey @J_6 Thanks for checking in. Have you updated your app recently? This issue should have been resolved in the most recent app update.

Hi. Is it all about the app or should I update my camera firmware as well?

I still don’t see any additional controls for PTZ presets, I only have the joystick, just like on the original screenshot from a few months back.

Hey @J_6 Can you send me another screenshot of your controls menu? When under control option, there should be a bookmarks option directly next to the controls button on the bottom selection menu. Then, in the upper right corner of the control joystick, should be a way to add bookmarks.

Log into your app, select the camera thumbnail, then select controls on the bottom menu selection, screenshot and send it to me.

Many thanks for your patience.

Hi Steven. There you go:

Thanks for the screenshot @J_6 That is definitely strange. Can you download the Kami Home app, login with your Yi Home app credentials, make sure the correct region is selected, then login. See if the bookmark tab is missing in the Kami Home app. I am going to chat with the team here to find out more. Let me know how switching to Kami Home app goes.

Hi @Steven_Kami,

Unfortunately, controls in Kami Home app look exactly the same. I am going to be back home on Monday, I will update my camera’s firmware and let you know if that made any difference.

Thanks for the update @J_6 let me know

Hi @Steven_Kami. Looks like there is no update available and I have the latest firmware already installed. I thought that “202009…” would be some older version, but seems like that’s not the case. Can you confirm if that is correct firmware for R30GB camera?

Thanks for sending the screenshot over @J_6 and for confirming your firmware is up to date
Can you go to your controls tab and screenshot me the missing bookmarks option? Many thanks for your help to get this escalated and resolved.

Hi, @Steven_Kami. Sure:
Yi Home app:

Kami Home app:

Thanks for sharing these screenshots @J_6 I will pass them to our team here and get back to you with more information. Many thanks for your patience. I will be in touch soon.

Hi @Steven_Kami,

Has anything changed since your last post? I have both camera and apps (Yi and Kami Home) updated, but still no option for saving PTZ bookmarks. Cheers!

Hi!
I have the same problem. But only with the NEW dome cams. I use multiple cameras. The old (black) and the new (white). With the old cameras, I have the bookmarks in the YI Home app. This button and the menu are missing on the new cams.

Hey @Junior_Jack Thanks for your patience and sending over screen shots. Incredibly helpful.

May I ask what is your operating system? iOS or Android?
What version of the app are you running?

We will get to the bottom of it and get you back on track

Hi Steven

I’m using Android.
I checked it with the “KAMI”-App V3.5.1_20220224050011
and also the YI-Home-App V5.5.1_20220224045542

both the same!

Thanks for the screenshots @Junior_Jack this is definitely strange. I will report this to the team and make sure they are aware to get this resolved quickly. Many thanks.

Hi, @Steven_Kami. Any updates? It’s been 9 months since I originally reported this issue and we still don’t have a solution…

Hey @J_6 Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I apologize for any delay. Let me check with our team and get back to you with a timeline for fix.

I forgot about this. Last time I tried this with the same r30gb firmware from Sep 2020 there seemed to be a firmware bug and the camera cruise pan would only move left unless hitting the end stop. Maybe it’s disabled from the app because of that, until a firmware fix is applied. Given it’s been a year and a half, probably not going to happen. I think there’s a newer Dome Guard now r35gb, maybe it works for that one? I might take another look sometime but it’s not something I personally use.
