Was great until latest firmware (201604071151) , now it's awefull.
Got these cameras a few weeks ago, two of them..Really liked these cameras, worked very well and would have given them 5 stars.. until the latest firmware update. (1.8.6.1B_201604071151). Now the night mode is almost useless, the quality of the night images are terrible - they used to be very sharp and clear. Now it's nothing but fuzzy and blurry on both cameras. Also recorded video used to be smooth, now it's choppy and dropping frames on both of them. No way to restore to previous firmware, sent an e-mail to support no response. If you already have one of these DO NOT UPDATE TO 1.8.6.1B_201604071151 firmware!!. *UPDATE 4/28 I did get a response back finally from support, they sent me the previous firmware, and I uploaded it to both cameras and now the night vision is sharp again. I attached two photos from the same camera, you can clearly see the loss of detail, exposure and usefullness that firmware 201604071151 caused. The working firmware they gave me is 201601071352 and I'm happy with this older version. Hopefully they will fix this in a new firmware release. Update 9/1/2016 They have still not released any new firmware since the broken 201604071151 firmware to resolve the quality issue, they seem have have dropped any development or support of this camera and only are supporting their newer YI Home camera 2 and the new pan tilt. So the only fix is to load the older firmware and never update.
