YoLink Uno 2.4G WiF Wireless Home Security Camera Indoor, for Baby and Pet Monitor, 1080p Dog Camera with Phone App, Night Vision B/W, 2-Way Audio, 64G SD Card Included, 360°

Camera setup was a breeze. There are two methods currently, one involves resetting the camera into setup mode where you use your smart phone to let the camera see a QR code that then allows the camera to connect using your selected WiFi network. The second method, the one I used, you simply connect to the camera's own local WiFi once it powers up and then use the YoLink to app configure it from there. Note that the camera only supports 2.4 GHz WiFi.Once connected, the camera shows up like every other YoLink device in the app with its own widget showing the last image seen and its WiFi signal strength plus online status. Clicking on the widget opens up a live view of the camera (yes, it works remotely, you don't need to be on the same network) with mic/audio, motion arrows for changing the camera's view, and a lot of other settings you can configure, including video resolution, stored video recordings, video flip (for mounting upside down), snapshots, etc. You can also configure multiple "favorite" view positions so you can easily point the camera at different things while live streaming. Camera motion via the app is smooth and responsive. Camera motion is completely contained, meaning nothing swings out past the device housing during movement, which is nice if you have limited space options or have things near the camera housing.The camera comes preinstalled with a 64 GB Lexar microSD card. This can be replaced with a microSD card up to 128 GB in capacity. I replaced mine out of the box with a Samsung Pro Endurance 128 GB card because I plan on leaving it recording 24/7. Note that when formatting the card, the app is not very good at giving feedback on how long the process will take or how long it has left to complete. When I formatted the newly installed card, the whole process took about 1 minute and the only way I knew it had completed was when the app storage capacity finally updated to 119 GB total.The camera had a firmware update available immediately upon installing, which I applied. This is one thing I don't like about YoLink - they often have updates available, but you don't know unless you check (there's no setting to automatically inform you of this). And when you apply them, the feedback on how long the process will take or even if it has completed is not great. The app still showed an update is available even after the camera had rebooted itself and it wasn't until much later that the app finally synced that the camera had been updated.Stored 24/7 video is easy to access and peruse via the app even when viewed remotely. The camera can be configured to record full time (24/7) or only when triggered by motion/person/audio detection. The camera imprints a date/time stamp in the upper right corner of the video and currently this cannot be changed.Motion, person, and sound detection sensitivity settings range from off, low, moderate, medium, high, and critical. Person detection is just OK, not great and will sometimes trigger when there is no person present.The camera has adequate 2-way audio and it will announce things, such as when it first boots up and connects to WiFi. It won't win any audio fidelity awards, but voices are clearly discernible with a slightly tinny sound due to audio stream compression. Audio volume is controlled by the app and at the highest setting has some static and clipping but is clearly heard even in a large room.Night vision is good, but not great. This isn't a high priority for me, so I'm not deducting from the rating, but if night vision is critical to you, it may be an issue. It can be configured on, off, or automatic.Mounting options are somewhat limited - there is a plastic base plate that the camera can slot into which is supplied with 3 screws & drywall anchors. Wish they had more options and wish it had a universal 1/4" female camera mount on the bottom like a lot of other cameras do. Note that you must be careful if you use any sort of clamp around outside of the base because the rotation of the top portion of the camera can be impacted if the sides of the camera are pressed in with any force.One last thing to note, this is a WiFi connected camera, which means it is range limited by your WiFi network, unlike most other YoLink devices which use LoRa technology for ranges up to 1/4 mile. As of this review, supposedly YoLink is working on a LoRa camera, and I'll be interested to see what they come up with because LoRa has somewhat limited bandwidth compared to WiFi.Overall, I'm satisfied with the camera as a first installment in a hopefully expanding YoLink IP camera lineup.Things I'd like to see in the future: a camera housing rated for outside use, a universal 1/4" female camera mount on bottom, more power options (such as PoE), better than 2 MP sensor, better night vision, higher microSD storage capacity limits (256 GB+), the ability to add the name of the camera to the video feed plus configure the embedded date/time, and possibly saving of the audio/video stream to the cloud.

I’ve tried a number of different hubs and smart home devices and Yolink wins hands down.With over 72 Yolink devices ranging from switches to hubs to fobs to smart plugs and more. Many of which have been in service for 2+ years. Yolink devices are extremely easy to deploy and easily integrate into Google home and Home Assistant – but I use the Yolink app 95% of the time. Battery life is unbelievable – changed my first battery yesterday. Most of the devices are still showing 50%. Even more impressive is the range – even with the device inside a metal postal box and hundreds of feet from the house. Also like the fact you can add fault tolerance by adding a second hub by simply scanning in the barcode on the device. Customer tech support is also top notch.

This camera is installed in my garage which is a weak WiFi area but the Yolink hub delivers a strong signal. Pan and tilt move easy with little latency.The price is very reasonable. Looking forward to new outdoor cameras. The expanded range makes Yolink worth consideration. There are many useful sensors available that add value to this system.

This little camera has excellent video offering clear images and reliable notification of movement within it's field of view. It was also very easy to set up and integrate into the YoLink App. On the negative side, I found the camera to have very limited WiFi range. I bought the camera as a replacement for a camera that was in my backyard patio in a protected location. The camera I wanted to replace had solid WiFi connectivity, the Yolink camera was very unreliable until it was moved indoors. An external antenna would have worked much better, but it has is some sort of internal strip antenna. I also don't think it would make a great security camera due to it's lack of ability to exclude areas within it's field of view and it's use of comparative frame analysis instead of a PIR to trigger alerts. In other words, sudden changes in light will trigger a false alarm.In summary, I think the camera makes a great pet or room monitor. Great little camera if you already have a YoLink system and want to integrate a camera into it. If you don't have a Yolink system, or don't intend to set one up, I would look at other stand-alone cameras.I gave it three stars because of it's WiFi range but am otherwise satisfied with it and did not return the camera.

Works great and set up took about 2 minutes! I love YoLink products.

This product needs work as it is close to being great. The set up was a hassle and time consuming as it tells you to reset the device by pushing the button that is on the bottom of the cam. To access this you have to turn it by hand which you arent supposed to do. Then the camera would not identify the QR code. It also goes into wifi connect mode by simply plugging it in and then have it read the QR code. It worked after attempting this for over an hour. So the directions arent the greatest. The worst part about this camera that instead of connecting to the hub (which I dont think you need as far as I can tell once again poor directions to the customer on Yolink's behalf, so the camera is super Laggy, like a full minute sometimes to register live video, a lot can happen in a minute. I purchased another camera and found out that it was just my slow internet at home. The other camera is at a different location in a shop and it works a lot quicker not as much lag but still takes a while to connect sometimes. I like their other products and their app it just that this camera needs some work or come out with something with LORA so you can connect to the hub easily like their other products. Also, I think this would fix the terrible lag issue. Also, as another reviewer commented on, make a video on install.

Very easy to install, great picture and mounts securely.Yolink is great.Put this in the shop and linked it to a motion sensor. it records for 10 minutes if motion is detected. Perfect!
