Kami Vision Analytics / YI Technology Cameras Profile
Started as a "spin-out from YI Technology", Kami Vision claims to "optimize vision data for 6 million people and businesses worldwide."
Providing analytics on cameras that cost less than $30 is becoming more mainstream, with companies like YI Technology, Wyze, Ring, and Nest pushing the consumer markets. Kami Vision is "powering 15 million devices", but how well is it positioned in the market?
In this report, based on an interview with Kami Vision CEO Yamin Durrani and our research, IPVM investigates the company's background, positioning, product, and outlook.
