Impressive video quality
The YI Pro 2K Home Security Camera delivers impressive video quality with its 2K resolution, providing sharp and clear footage that enhances your ability to monitor your home. The camera operates on a 2.4 GHz network, which is standard for many security cameras. The setup process is straightforward, guided by the YI Home app, which simplifies connecting the camera to your Wi-Fi network and configuring settings. The app interface is user-friendly, making it easy to access live feeds, review recorded footage, and adjust camera settings. The camera supports cloud storage options (multiple plans available) and local storage via a microSD card (not included). Considering its features and performance, the YI Pro 2K offers good value for money. The combination of high-resolution video, smart detection capabilities, and easy setup makes it a competitive option in the security camera market. It provides a strong balance of functionality and affordability. I use these cameras with the HOLACA Outdoor Mount Brackets for outdoor security. The 2K resolution along with the advanced smart detection features make them an excellent choice. I highly recommend these cameras!

Good, but….
EDIT: I can no longer recommend these products to anyone. The company is really pushing for people to purchase the cloud packages. So much so that anytime you ask for support, the first thing they say is, you should upgrade to the premium plan, or have you upgraded to the cloud service.Now they are pushing ads when you launch the app and you cannot turn them off without, you guessed it, purchasing a premium plan.So please, before you purchase anything from Yi, check up the community forums and look at how many people are complaining about different things and the canned responses they get back. It is sad, I used to like these cheap little cameras and I would promote them and show them to people, now I will steer them awayOriginal review below:I’ll start off with I have purchased 4 of these cameras over the last few years. I had the old black 720p, the newer 720p that only came in white for some reason and then 2 of the 1080p versions. My older ones have worked great. I switched out the black base (720p) with the newer 1080p camera so that I could mount it in my front window to watch the porch area. I had to purchase a 10 foot usb cable to reach the outlet and to route it along the outside of the window frame, but it was cheap, and isn’t really visible.So my take-Pros:1. Cheap – The cameras are inexpensive and you don’t have to use the cloud service when you use the SD card option. I see some of the reviews complaining that they can’t see longer videos, but I haven’t had that problem and all my cameras have the latest updates.2. Easy to install – The app (Android in my case) was easy to install, then scan the back of the camera, identify your 2.4 Ghz WiFi (it doesn’t work on 5Ghz yet), type in your password, point your phone at the camera and wait. Camera connects and you are good to go. I was even able to share one of my cameras with someone else so she could check in as well. She could make changes, but she could view it on her phone and on the desktop app.3. Desktop app – You can install a PC software, which I use when I worked late so no one could sneak off the elevator at work and scare the &*^% out of me.4. Motion record – It works pretty well and you can change the amount of movement needed for activation and how frequent it sends you the notice.5. Mounting – you can pop off the vertical piece and there are 3 small screw holes in the base. I used these to mount the cam upside down in the front window.6. Support (sorta)- The few times I’ve had to contact support for something they got back to me within 24 hours. I realize that they are not US based, so there is a time difference. I will also say that I had a camera that stopped connecting to my network and they sent a replacement right away.Cons -1. Night shots – Night vision isn’t very good, but that is probably more to do with the fact I’m shooting through a window. I have the cams angled to help, but still get some IR reflection. If a car drives by the headlights wipe out the video as well before it can shutter the lens.2. Connections – I wouldn’t have to mention this on the older cameras, but I did have a camera that stopped connecting to my network. I tried resetting the camera (SOOO many times), I tried it on other networks (I even setup a new dedicated network) and when it wouldn’t work, tech support sent me a new 1080p camera.3. Connections part deux – The new camera connects to the network well, but will go offline every so often. At first I thought one of my animals was unplugging it because that was how the camera seemed. I couldn’t ping it, no connection or anything. I have now plugged it into a remote switching outlet that I can then power cycle the camera to get it to reconnect. Sometimes it will go 5 days before it needs to be ‘rebooted’, but I had to reboot at 6:30 last night and again at 7:30 this morning. Hopefully this one isn’t getting ready to die too.4. Audio – They advertise this as 2-way audio, which it is, but don’t plan on using it as an intercom device. My voice would come out ‘tinny’ from the camera, which you should expect from a speaker that small. I have had some times where the audio didn’t match the video, but it would only be off a fraction of a second upto a full second. It is more annoying really.

Facil de instalar, por su tamaño es facil de colorcar en cualquier rincon o superficie, la calidad de imagen es muy muy buena y se puede hacer amoliacion de zoom libremente. La alerta de deteccion de movimiento llega practicamente unos 2-3 segundos posterior a la detección, no pago la suscripcion pero te llega video de unos 8 segundos de actividad detectada, se puede grabar en vivo. El angulo de vision es amplio y cubre gran amplitud. La vision nocturna es de buena calidad Lo malo es que no tiene AI que diferencie los movimientos, ya que se activa alerta en mi caso cuando esta la vision noctura y un mosquito/mosca pasa cerca de la camara manda alerta de movimiento detectado, la bocina y microfono funciona decente. Por el precio creo es una buena opcion.
