Yi Dome Camera 1080p Review - PCMag

The Yi Dome Camera 1080p packs a lot of home security camera into a small package. For $59.99, it offers mechanical pan and tilt, motion and sound detection, motion tracking, and local and cloud-based event recording. It also takes panoramic photos and has a Baby Crying alert feature (though we were unable to get the latter to work in testing). It offers lots of value for per dollar, though it doesn't interact with other smart devices like our Editors' Choice for affordable security cams, the D-Link Full HD Wi-Fi Camera DCS-8300LH.

Design and Plans

The Yi Dome Camera can be mounted on a ceiling, a wall, or be placed on any flat surface. The pear-shaped black enclosure stands 4.3 inches high and measures 3.6 inches in diameter at the base and 2.5 inches in diameter at the top.

The top portion holds the circular camera, which captures video at 1080p and has a 4x zoom with a 112-degree field view at its widest setting. The camera is attached to a mechanical hinge mechanism that gives you 115 degrees of vertical (tilt) rotation, and the top half of the enclosure is attached to the bottom half using a mechanical mechanism that gives you 345 degrees of horizontal (pan) rotation. Black-and-white night video comes by way of eight infrared LEDs.
