is there additional text specifically referencing SD-based footage change?
I used to like their stuff.
We turn our router off at night, and on again in the morning... Anything the cameras recorded over night isn't visible on their app !
All the features without the subscription requirement (I don't expect cloud based storage to be free, I do however expect to be able to use the majority if not all the other features without having to signup/pay more!)
The 6 second clips are free cloud storage so that's going.
PIR-based movement detection (only) so no false triggers from swaying branches, rain, snow, etc, but no recording of cold bricks self-throwing themselves through your window...

Their APP often gets updated with buggy versions that prevent alerts working correctly, for that reason I never automatically update the YI app, I wait and read the latest reviews before updating.
Latest bug in their app is that you can't always see SD recordings that took place when Wi-Fi was down in your home. This seems to be due to the fact that the recordings don't match with an alert (alerts couldn't be sent because Wi-Fi was down). The work around for this is to open the app, look at the time window where you are expecting to see a recording, wait 2 minutes and the recording will show in the time line once the app has had chance to scan the SD card.
