YiIotCloud

YiIotCloud is the cloud storage companion to Yi IoT cameras, giving home and business users a way to keep recordings safe off the device itself. Where a camera's local SD card can be stolen along with the camera or damaged in an incident, cloud recordings stay available in your account - which is exactly when footage matters most. The service is provided by a company that supplies the software and video technology behind millions of deployed cameras worldwide.

The appeal is straightforward: motion-activated recording means the system captures events rather than endless footage, and AI detection goes beyond generic motion by distinguishing people, faces, animals and vehicles. That makes alerts more meaningful and lets you filter a timeline for the events you actually care about instead of scrubbing hours of video. Multi-live view lets you keep an eye on several cameras at once, and camera sharing makes it easy to extend access to family members or colleagues.

Plans scale by how much you need to protect. The ENTRY tier suits a single camera with 15 days of history, STANDARD covers up to five cameras with 15 days, and PLUS covers five cameras with 30 days of history and is the most popular option. All tiers include notification alerts, camera sharing and the core detection set, with the company citing 15 million cameras in use, over 6 million users and presence in 120 countries. Two caveats worth noting: AI detection quality depends on the camera model, since some features only work on supported devices, and premium phone support is limited to the US and select plans.
