Xiaomi-Backed Yi Technologies, the maker of budget action and digital cameras, has officially released its first action and security cameras in India. Inspired by the success of other foreign companies in the country and with the hope to get a budget-friendly market, Yi has introduced two of its most popular action cameras in India, the Yi Action Camera and Yi 4K Action Camera, which are now available on Amazon India. The company has also launched two budget security cameras, Yi Home IP Camera and Yi Dome IP Camera for the Indian market.

Yi Technology also announced its 4K+ Action Camera at CES 2017, which is yet to be launched in India.

Yi 4K Action Camera in India

The Yi Action Camera is priced at Rs. 6,990 while its 4K version is available for Rs. 17,990. These two products are likely to give strong competition to similar products from GoPro, which offer almost the same specifications but comparatively higher cost. The Yi Action Camera comes with a 16MP Sony IMX206 lens capable of recording 1080p videos at 60fps. It also has an Amarelle A7LS chipset for image processing and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 for connectivity.

About the Yi security cameras, the Yi Home IP Camera is priced at Rs. 2,990 while Yi Dome IP Camera costs Rs. 4,990. Both devices are available on Amazon India.
