Yale Smart Outdoor Camera [NO SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED] Full HD Live View & Two-Way Audio, Motion Recordings, Customisable Zones & Scheduling, Night Vision, Spotlight, Real-time Alerts

This is a super piece of kit. Responsive with excellent still and video. One charge last for ages.

Good quality pictures and a breeze to install. Some of the settings weren’t that obvious when powering the camera off a solar panel, but didn’t take long to walk it out.

There are two issues I have with this product:- 1. Compatibility - This is yet another product from YALE that requires its own specific APP to work, I have several other YALE products (CCTV, two types of Internal Cameras, Door Locks) all of which only operate in their own APP. In addition YALE will not support APPLE HOME which would have been a great work around to get all the security devices onto one usable application. 2. Slow - all these products take an age from clicking on to getting a picture a lot of buffering, this makes it useless when getting a notification that a delivery driver is at your door and activating to be able to talk to him to give any instructions (the delivery driver has normally long gone before the cameras are active) - I know this is probably something to do with my internet service, but to be honest I don’t have any slow or restricted internet even at peak times) I have contacted YALE and the responses seem to be mostly ‘It is what it is’ and not really an engagement in resolving issues.

Once I downloaded the correct App, the camera was straight forward to install & easy to use. Yale Help centre were most helpful.

It detects movement and alarms to your phone, picture quality is good and has good nightsight. There is no technical information, it focuses on how to mount the device, no manual as such.

Wish I had not wasted my money. In the first instance you have to download an app that is separate to my Yale home alarm system and does not integrate. I can live with that however the worst part is that it is slow to pick up movement so if you walk past it it will not start recording and miss the first 5 seconds despite being in view. Because of this I cannot use it for its intended view. Finally the recorded clips are nothing like the standard you would expect (set on high), when you zoom in most definition is lost. A real disappointment.

This camera is so annoying we can not get it to connect to our WiFi. We have other Yale security but this is pretty useless to us and we have thrown away the box as we was waiting for our technical minded son to sort it and even he couldn't.

It's been working well one day and over night. Second day it's just turned off itself with still 60% of battery. After that I spent roughly 8 hours to connect it to internet and nothing. I'm going to return it back.
