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pan/tilt control, and two‑way audio are praised for delivering essential security features at a low price, but the outdated Wi‑Fi standard and lack of PoE are seen as significant drawbacks for users with modern network setups.
Professional reviewers commend the YI 2K 3MP for its crisp 2K image quality, reliable AI detection and solid night-vision, while noting its affordability and easy setup. However, they criticize the need for a paid cloud subscription to access the full AI suite, the lack of 5 GHz Wi-Fi, and the absence of higher-resolution or broader smart-home integration.
