Disassemble YesCam/ProLink PIC1007WP IP Camera

The Prolink PIC1007WP is a really different design IP camera, which has unique astronaut eye-catching looks. This IP camera has another brand name - YesCam (YesCam737), which is a civilian brand name in Chinese domestic market. Prolink PIC1007WP supports motorized Pan/Tilt functions dramatically improves surveillance area, included with progressive scan CMOS image sensor to deliver high definition 1280x720 resolution at 30fps. Different from other home IP camera, it has two dual lens for day and night surveillance. Included WiFi module for wireless network connection, and a passive infrared motion sensor for motion detection. The performance of this camera is overall good, unfortunately, it's too expensive.

Now we are going to disassemble this product, and let's check what the structure of Prolink PIC1007WP IP camera.

ProLink PIC1007WP IP Camera

The whole design makes me think it wears a thick layer of space suits, oversized viewing window plus an obvious antenna for WiFi wireless connection, while the front design with a light-sensitive resistor for day/night conversion, and a infrared LED illuminator, passive infrared motion sensor (PIR), and working indicators.

ProLink PIC1007WP Internal Design

Opened the back cover, you can see the internal structure, the wire cables are not messy, on the rear vents also covered with gauze, to avoid small bug/pests entering into camera.

Camera Module

Open the front cover, we found that infrared LED and PIR motion sensor are add-ons, which didn't integrate into main PCB board. Meanwhile, we can see the camera module which has two lens and motor structure for rotating.

Photoresistors, infrared light and PIR module

Grain-media GM8126 Chipset

We don't have too much information on this motherboard, the most obvious things we knew is it adopts Grain-media GM8126 chipset, theoretically can deliver megapixel resolution images.
