YI Pro 2K Home Security Camera
Score: 78/100Rankings
The EZVIZ C8C is an outdoor 360° Wi-Fi camera offering 1080p video, AI person detection, and active defense features. Its limitations include reliance on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, modest 10 m night-vision range, and lack of battery operation. Best suited for homeowners seeking affordable full-area outdoor monitoring.
The YI Pro 2K Home Security Camera delivers crisp 2K video at 30 fps, a 111° field of view and AI-driven human/vehicle detection for indoor monitoring, making it a solid choice for rooms and small spaces. Its drawbacks are the lack of PTZ, reliance on a 2.4 GHz network and a subscription to unlock full AI and cloud features. Best suited for budget-conscious homeowners needing high-resolution indoor surveillance with smart alerts.

Professional reviewers consider the YI Pro 2K a solid entry-level indoor camera, praising its 2K clarity, reliable night vision, and robust app features such as home/away modes. They note the build quality is comparable to earlier Yi models and appreciate the AI human detection that reduces false alerts. However, they criticize the fiddly setup, the absence of dual-band Wi-Fi, and the need for a subscription to unlock advanced AI and cloud storage.
Everyday users love the clear 2K image, easy Wi-Fi pairing, and the pan/tilt capability for monitoring pets and babies. Two-way audio and the unobtrusive design receive frequent compliments. Recurring complaints focus on a tricky initial setup, the requirement of a subscription for full AI features, and occasional connectivity hiccups on crowded 2.4 GHz networks.
