YI Technology, also known as Xiaoyi (Chinese: 小蚁) in Mainland China markets, is a company that manufactures cameras and computer vision technologies.[2][3][4] Some of the company's popular camera models include the YI 1080p Home Camera,[5] and the YI Outdoor Security Camera. YI Technology was originally backed and branded by Xiaomi, but in October 2016, YI split off from Xiaomi, dropping the "Xiaomi Yi" branding.

Since its founding YI Technology has gone on to produce a wide range of indoor and outdoor security cameras and has shipped products to over 186 countries and created the sub-brand "Kami" in late 2018.
