4. Operating the Cloud Service
Once activated, the YI/Kami Cloud Plan operates seamlessly in the background, providing continuous video recording for your assigned camera. Here’s how to interact with the service:
- Accessing Footage: Open the YI Home or Kami Home app. Select the camera linked to the cloud plan. You will see a timeline or event list. Drag the timeline to review continuous footage or select specific event alerts.
- Event Playback: The cloud service records continuously. However, motion-triggered events are often highlighted on the timeline for quick access. Tap on these highlights to jump directly to the event.
- Downloading Footage: To save specific video clips, navigate to the desired footage on the timeline. Look for a download or record button within the app's playback interface. Saved clips will typically be stored in your device's local storage or the app's gallery.
- Managing Multiple Cameras: If you have multiple cameras, ensure the correct cloud plan is assigned to the desired camera. Standard plans may support up to five cameras, but this specific plan is for one camera.
- Web Portal Access: For a larger viewing experience and easier management, log in to your YI/Kami account via a web browser on your PC or Mac. The web portal offers similar functionalities for viewing and managing cloud footage.
5. Maintenance and Best Practices
To ensure optimal performance and security of your YI/Kami Cloud Plan:
- Keep App Updated: Regularly update the YI Home or Kami Home app to the latest version to benefit from new features, security patches, and performance improvements.
- Secure Your Account: Use a strong, unique password for your YI/Kami account. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if available for added security.
- Monitor Storage: While CVR plans offer continuous recording, be aware of the plan's duration (3 months for this specific plan). Footage older than the plan's retention period will be automatically overwritten. Download important clips before they expire.
- Internet Connection: A stable and strong internet connection is crucial for continuous uploading of video footage to the cloud. Ensure your camera has a reliable Wi-Fi connection.
- Camera Health: Ensure your camera itself is functioning correctly. A malfunctioning camera cannot upload footage to the cloud.
