YI 2K 3MP Home Security Camera
Score: 72/100Rankings
Wyze Cam OG delivers 1080p video with color night vision, a built-in spotlight and IP65 weather resistance. Its limitations include lack of pan/tilt and reliance on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. It fits well for cost-effective outdoor monitoring where a power outlet is available.
The YI 2K 3MP indoor camera offers crisp 2K video and AI-powered person, vehicle and animal detection with two-way audio. Its limitations include lack of 5 GHz Wi-Fi, modest 5 m night-vision range and a subscription for full AI and cloud features. Ideal for budget-conscious homeowners seeking high-resolution indoor monitoring.
