Professional reviewers view the Amcrest ProHD 1080P WiFi camera as a solid entry-level indoor surveillance solution. Its 1080p video quality, pan/tilt control, and two-way audio are praised for delivering essential security features at a low price, but the outdated Wi-Fi standard and lack of PoE are seen as significant drawbacks for users with modern network setups.
