Hello, I just bought an IP camera from the brand "Yi loT".
I completed the installation, set a password, and everything was working well. Suddenly, while at rest, I noticed that it started up by itself, rotating in all directions regularly, as if it was "visiting the places" ????
So, I deduced that a malicious person was watching us.
However, the purpose of this purchase was precisely to monitor access to my house, so I wanted to know if anyone knew how to get rid of this intruder.
I should mention that I have reset the camera several times, unplugged and reset the installation. I also couldn't pair it with another phone without having to disconnect the other phone (1 iPhone vs 1 Android).
Thank you for your help; in the meantime, I've unplugged everything ????

Hello.
There's nothing unusual about that; your camera must have automatic tracking and motion detection.

Thank you Bazfile, I'll see if that option was activated on the other phone in the house. Very relevant response, indeed!
A YouTube video had put the idea in my head:

I will disable that and check. A big thank you to you! ????

Hello,
I saw the link to the YI camera that was shared a little higher up.
I wanted to know if it works well? I have this camera that works well on my end too and seems similar:

But I'm having a bit of trouble with the app options.
Do you think the YI camera could be a good replacement, or at least a similar addition at a lower cost?
Thanks in advance!
