Yi IoT אַפּאַראַט סעטאַפּ: שריט-פֿאַר-שריט ינסטראַקשאַנז און עצות

If the QR code has expired or the setup failed, you should restart the pairing process by following these steps:

• באַשטעטיק די אַפּאַראַט: Locate the "RESET" button on the device. Press and hold it for more than 5 seconds until you hear the sequence/prompt sound. This indicates the reset was successful.
• Refresh the App: Go back in the Yi IoT app to the Wi-Fi configuration screen and generate a new QR code.
• Scan Again: Hold the new QR code on your phone screen in front of the camera lens. Wait for the prompt "QR code scan successful" and "WiFi connected."
• קוק די קשר: Ensure your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network (5GHz is not supported) and that location services are turned on.

Persistent pairing failures that reach the end of the progress bar before failing often indicate a network configuration issue rather than a hardware fault. Based on the Yi IoT manual, please verify the following:

• Wi-Fi באַנד: Ensure you are connecting to a 2.4 גהז network. The Yi IoT camera does not support 5GHz Wi-Fi bands.
• אָרט באַדינונגס: פאַרזיכערן אַז Location Services (GPS) are enabled on your smartphone during the pairing process, as this is required for the app to discover the camera.

• באַשטעטיק פּראָצעדור: To ensure a clean reset, press and hold the "RESET" button for more than 5 seconds until you hear the two-tone sequence.
• QR קאָד סקאַן: When scanning the QR code from your phone, wait for the camera to emit the "QR code scan successful" and "WiFi connected" prompts before clicking "Next" in the app.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, the problem may be related to router security settings (such as MAC filtering) or a specific incompatibility with your network provider's hardware. For professional assistance in Tokyo, you may consider contacting local electronics support services or the retailer where the camera was purchased.

The Yi IoT app typically asks for payment information in relation to its Cloud Storage subscription services. While the camera itself is a one-time purchase, cloud-based video recording is a paid service. If you are being prompted for payment while simply trying to reconfigure your Wi-Fi, it is likely that the app is displaying an advertisement or a prompt to renew a cloud subscription.

To change your Wi-Fi network without paying for a subscription, follow these steps:

• באַשטעטיק די אַפּאַראַט: Press and hold the "RESET" button on the device for more than 5 seconds until you hear a two-tone sequence.
• Re-add the Camera: Open the Yi IoT app and click the "+" (add) button.
• פאַרבינדן צו Wi-Fi: Select "WiFi connection" and enter your new Wi-Fi credentials. Ensure you are using a 2.4GHz network, as 5GHz is not supported.
• יבערקוקן די QR קאָד: סקענט דעם QR קאָד וואָס ווערט געוויזן אויף אייער טעלעפאָן מיט דער קאַמעראַ לינז.

If you prefer not to use cloud services, you can store video locally by inserting a microSD card (up to 64GB, FAT32 format) into the camera. This allows for automatic loop recording without a monthly fee.

If the app prevents you from completing the setup without a credit card, ensure you are not accidentally selecting a "Cloud Storage" trial or subscription during the pairing process. You should be able to skip these offers to use the basic features of the camera.

You do not need a cloud subscription to view footage stored on your SD card. To access your local recordings, follow these steps within the Yi IoT app:

• Open the camera's live view.
• דריקט אויף די אַקטיוויטעט icon (usually located at the bottom of the screen).
• On the Activity screen, look for the toggle or button labeled סד קאָרט פּלייבאַק (represented by a small SD card icon) and select it. This is distinct from the 'Cloud playback' option.
• איר קענען דעריבער אויסקלייַבן דאַטע און אויסקלייַבן צייט using the timeline to view your recorded history.

• Ensure your SD card is recognized by the camera. The camera supports FAT32 פֿאָרמאַט with a maximum capacity of 64 גיגאבייט.
• If the card is not recognized, the camera cannot record locally. You can check the status in אַפּאַראַט סעטטינגס.
• Once the card is full, the camera will automatically overwrite the oldest recordings to continue loop recording.

If you still cannot see the 'SD card playback' option, ensure your app is updated to the latest version, as the interface may vary slightly between updates.

Basic setup and use of the Yi IoT camera do not necessarily require a fee, but there are optional paid services and hardware requirements to consider:

• וואָלקן סטאָרידזש: The manual mentions a Cloud storage subscription (page 13). This is an optional paid service for saving video footagע צו די וואָלקן.
• לאקאלע סטאָרידזש: If you prefer not to pay for a subscription, the camera supports local recording using a מיקראָסד קאָרט (F32 format, up to 64GB). You would need to purchase this card separately if one was not included.
• אַפּ באַניץ: The Yi IoT app itself is free to download and use for live viewing and basic alerts.
