KamiCare is elder-fall-detection solution. ⚠️ Reputation Risk (Sept 2025): SafeWise explicitly recommends AGAINST purchasing YI or Kami cameras due to intrusive YI/Kami Home App ads and aggressive subscription paywalls in 2023-2024. Push-notification ads, sound-on ads, locked features for SD-card users caused backlash. Brand in defensive trough vs TP-Link Tapo/eufy alternatives. ⚠️ NOT recommended as primary sourcing partner for new North American retail programs. Featured on chinatechsource as a cautionary tale in App monetization and brand-trust management.
