SEATTLE--()--YI Technology (YI), the leading, international provider of advanced, intelligent imaging technologies, today introduced its 360-degree, smart home security camera, the YI Dome Camera 1080p, adding to YI’s comprehensive offering of smart home systems for every budget and need. The high definition (HD), professional grade camera is a fraction of the price of competitors at $99.99 and is available today for presale with retail availability starting on November 21. The company also announced its opt-in cloud service platform, YI Cloud, which offers unlimited video content storage for up to five cameras.

“Many people today are juggling full time jobs, caring for families, elderly parents, businesses and more, making it difficult to keep an eye on everything in and around their home or business,” said Sean Da, CEO of YI Technology. “Smart living technology solutions offer a way to lessen the stress of a busy lifestyle but are cost prohibitive for a lot of people. With our Dome Camera 1080p we are hoping to offer peace of mind for anyone who wants to create a safer, more connected environment whether it’s keeping an eye on their baby, pets or delivery person.”

The YI Dome Camera 1080p records and captures panoramic scenes in high-definition for complete coverage and practically zero blind spots. It offers object tracking, which points, tilts and zooms to follow objects as they move anywhere within the 360-degree coverage range. For new parents, the baby crying detection feature powered by audio identification technology, can identify the mood of the voice and send a unique "Baby Crying" alert message. Users can also live-stream content from their PC or the YI Home app, available for iOS and Android devices.

YI Cloud is an optional video storage subscription, which offers users up to 30 days of unlimited photo and video storage. The motion detection service plan supports up to five cameras with no additional cost so users can cover their entire home while only paying for one cloud storage plan. Full CVR plan is available at pricing per camera. In addition, YI also offers a free option in which users access locally stored content history on a 32G MicroSD card.
