What memory cards does the YI IoT camera support?

YI IoT camera supports memory cards from 8 to 128G, Class10, card speed 48M or higher.

Why is there no recording when I insert the memory card?

  1. Confirm that a memory card is detected in the app.
  2. Confirm whether the memory card meets the memory card standard of 8 to 128G, Class10, and the card speed is 48M or above.
  3. We recommend formatting the memory card.

Why does the capacity of the memory card become smaller after formatting it with the YI IoT app?

After formatting the SD card in the APP, a portion of the storage space is used as a hidden partition to store the system files, so the remaining capacity displayed will be smaller than the actual size of your memory card. Hidden partitions ensure independent storage and security of system files, and efficient reading and writing of packaging memory cards.

    The camera does not display the video and a box appears saying I should subscribe to a cloud program. For information, I have deleted the app and cameras and redownloaded them from the beginning, but the problem still exists. If I knew all this would happen from the beginning, I would not have bought the two cameras. Please help me and solve this topic.
