Yale - Smart Indoor Camera [NO SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED] Full HD Live View & Two-Way Audio, Motion Recording, Customisable Zones & Scheduling, Night Vision, Real-Time Alerts

Cameras work with Yale Home app and have built in storage. They are easy to install following the instructions on the app. “Human detection” or “any movement detection” can be selected and seems to work well - pet detection is only available with a subscription. Can be operated automatically on arrival or departure from house. The main downside is that if you want to switch on or off manually there is no main arm or disable function on the app. which switches all the cameras on and off (you can use the automatic arrival and leaving function to put into or out of privacy mode ) - each camera has to be switched independently- not a huge deal but probably could be easily fixed by changing the app ( spoke to Yale and they said they would probably be doing it but they didn’t know when). All in all a good camera from a well known company so hopefully the app and support will not be withdrawn which is what happened to my previous neos brand cameras.

I bought the indoor cam, first experience with Yale products and while I really wanted to love it, I feel it’s going to be returned. - no SD card slot. Seems choice of subscription or use of the limited (unspecified) internal device storage. This wasn’t made clear in the product listing. - Cameras do NOT integrate with Apple HomeKit despite references to Apple HomeKit in various places. Seems other Yale products do, just not the cam. Isn’t RTSP either in case anyone was wanting it for HA. - Nagging pop up every time the app is opened to link account to a 3rd party platform like Apple or Google. I don’t want to do this and see no reason to risk the security aspects if it can’t even link to Apple HomeKit. I don’t seem to be able to the nagging pop up off. - Cam footage itself is “meh”. It’s okay. It seems a little slow and I’m yet to see how much of the footage it can store in the internal memory. (Product description suggests a couple of days). - value for money, nope. I paid about £37 for it on sale. I’m betting it’s cause no one wants it when the realise it doesn’t have an SD card slot. All in all it’s a shame. I was very much hoping this brand to be a good alternative for home security but I’ll be looking elsewhere. Update: Downgraded it to a 1 star after trying with it for a good while. There really isn’t anything good to say about it at all. Which is a shame really.

Dont waste your money, none of these devices are compatible with any Yale app. Doesnt recognise the QR codes and there are 3 Yale apps that do not communicate. Yale made a real mess of this
