ProLink PIC3002WN Review

This is a discontinued IP camera from ProLink (https://prolink2u.com/product/pic-3002wn/). There is another review here but otherwise not much additional information.

I bought four of these for home surveillance, but have discovered a large number of shortcomings which make the system almost unusable:
  • the iOS client hard-resets my iPhone 7 Plus randomly, although my wife's iPhone 8 is "fairly" stable
  • only SD card recording works reliably, when recording to a NAS (Windows share) the recording randomly stops, there are days and days with no available recordings
  • there is no FTP recording, contradicting the review linked above
  • the cameras sometimes randomly lose their recording settings
These cameras are cheap, and in principle have a lot of features. The video quality is reasonably OK, the IR mode works fine, but unless you only use the SD card recording, the "added" features are unreliable.  An IP camera that doesn't record is almost useless.

TL; DR - only worth it as a psychological deterrent, or if you only use the SD card recording (it's a pain to have to climb a ladder to extract the SD card).
