preface: It is vaguely remembered that on May 8 last year, the official website of ZTE Home Network released Xiaoxing Kankan to open its first public test. Xiaoxing Kankan became the biggest dark horse in the field of intelligent monitoring last year with its fashionable technology appearance, 720P resolution and unique dual rotating PTZ design. Up to now, 1080P has gradually become a hard demand for webcams. ZTE also launched Xiaoxing Watch Pro in May this year, which has both high-definition image quality and 360 ° all-round monitoring, and once again set off a frenzy in the field of high-definition intelligent monitoring. Xiaobian was lucky to get the chance to try out Xiaoxing Check Pro. Now, Xiaobian will introduce the new generation of Xiaoxing Check Pro.


Packaging


With the popularity of Apple mobile phones, Xiaoxing has seen another generation of blue series catch up with the trend and upgrade to gold series. The change of color system can be seen at a glance on the package of Xiaoxing Pro.

▲ The packing box of Xiaoxing Kankan Pro is basically the same as that of the first generation, and it still uses the pull-out cuboid packaging, but the main color has changed from last year's blue to Tuhao gold, and the words "Xiaoxing Kankan Pro" below has also been upgraded to "Xiaoxing Kankan Pro"; The camera resolution marked in the prominent position in the upper right corner has also changed from 720P last year to 1080P, which shows that Xiaoxing can't underestimate the strength of Pro.

▲ The side of the box mainly introduces the functions and features of the product. 360 ° panoramic view, F2.2 large aperture, motion detection, infrared night vision, two-way voice, 4x digital zoom, etc. all show the super strength of Xiaoxing Look Pro. Xiaoxing's Pro mainly focuses on the family safety care market, including children, the elderly, pets, and even anti-theft. However, I am a little confused about why pets should be put first in the function graphic printing on the package. I suggest that children and the elderly should be put in front. After all, it is a people-oriented society, and it is not good to put pets in front.

▲ Some information about the manufacturer is printed on the bottom of the box, so I won't say much about it here.

▲ Open the box and you will find that the inner layer of Xiaoxing Look Pro adopts a semi open design different from the first generation, and the overall design is more compact and fashionable than the first generation. After opening it, Xiaoxing looked at the Pro with its head down, just like a robot waiting for the user to activate it, expecting the power to be turned on and injected into life. A very strong sense of science and technology makes Xiaobian moved.


Appearance


Xiaoxing saw that the appearance of the Pro was basically unchanged from that of the previous generation. It still took white as the keynote, and the color matching was upgraded from blue to Tuhao gold, which made it more noble. Bigger instantly improved a lot. In addition, another notable change is that Xiaoxing Kankan Pro is directly added with a small tail (wifi antenna). In the first generation, the WIFI signal antenna is installed by the user as an accessory, while Xiaoxing Kankan Pro is directly installed, making Xiaoxing Kankan Pro look like a robot dog.

▲ Look at Xiaoxing from the front to see if Pro looks like a robot dog with its tail up. Isn't it cute. The shell of Xiaoxing Kankan Pro is made of plastic. Except for the outer ring of "Big Eye" and the outer ring of PTZ, it is Tuhao gold, the rest is white. The overall design is very beautiful. The edges and corners are curved, making Xiaoxing's Pro look very attractive, and the surface feels very comfortable. ZTE logo with "ZTE" printed in the middle of the square under the product's PTZ. The bottom is also carefully added with arc lines, which looks very good.

▲ Xiaoxing looks at the side view of Pro. The horn hole is designed inside the "big ear" of Xiaoxing's Pro. The spiral horn hole is well designed. The "tail" with high and cocky height is also suitable, and the overall structural design is very reasonable.

▲ The jack of Xiaoxing Kankan Pro is hidden on its back. Compared with Xiaoxing Kankan generation, the original ANT interface (WIFI antenna interface) has been moved from the middle to the left, and changed to the direct connection type. The position of other jacks has also been adjusted, but the jack type has not changed.


Details


Although the resolution of Xiaoxing Kankan Pro has been upgraded from 720P to 1080P, the lens aperture has been upgraded from F/2.0 to F/2.2, and the infrared night vision distance has been improved from 6 meters to the current 10 meters of Xiaoxing Kankan Pro, it is difficult for users to notice these changes in appearance. The following is a brief introduction of Xiaoxing to the key functional parts of Pro through the appearance details of the product.

▲ Xiaoxing sees that the camera of Pro is very beautiful, just like a lovely big eye. The camera is surrounded by a golden ring to make the "big eyes" look more flexible. The camera is surrounded by ten infrared night vision lights and a light sensing unit. Xiaoxing View Pro camera supports 2 million pixels and F/2.2 large aperture, with a 1/2.7 inch large sensor built in. It is this kind of camera that enables Xiaoxing to see that Pro has 1080P high-definition video recording capability and 10m night vision capability. In addition, there is a hidden microphone under the front camera for two-way voice calls.  

▲ Xiaoxing looks at the "big ears" on both sides of the Pro, each with a speaker speaker. The speaker hole is designed as a spiral, which is very delicate and beautiful. It provides sound output during two-way voice calls, with clear sound quality and loud voice. However, it seems that the volume only supports mute and does not support adjustment. It is recommended to increase the volume adjustment function to avoid disturbing the elderly or baby's nap or rest. At the same time, this is also a rotation axis position, which enables Xiaoxing to see the head of the Pro to support up and down rotation, and realize 360 ° dead angle monitoring with the pan tilt that can rotate left and right.

▲ Xiaoxing sees that the surrounding of the PTZ of the Pro is also a ring of Tuhao gold, reducing the monotony of pure white. The PTZ supports left and right rotation, so that Xiaoxing can see that the monitoring range of Pro is very wide. There are many fine holes at the bottom of the PTZ. At this position, Xiao Bian guesses that Xiao Xing should look at the Pro cooling holes. With so many cooling holes, it seems that users don't have to worry about Xiaoxing's Pro heating problem.

▲ The back is the jack area of Xiaoxing's Pro. It is equipped with RST reset button, WPS button, Micro SD card slot, RJ45 network cable interface, 5V Micro USB interface and a color changing indicator light. Xiaoxing's Pro supports 32G TF memory card at most. Users can record videos they want to record directly into the memory card through App operation. Compared with those cloud cameras that need to purchase cloud download permissions, they are more user-friendly and convenient.

▲ Xiao Xing looks at the bottom of the Pro, which is distributed with many strip shaped cooling holes. With the cooling holes on the back, the cooling capacity is very strong. In addition to the cooling holes, there are four silicone pads at the bottom for Xiaoxing to see the Pro placement. Of course, Xiaoxing sees that the installation method of Pro is far more than direct placement. There are hanging holes on both sides of the bottom, which can be directly hung on the nails on the wall; What is more powerful is that Xiaoxing Kankan Pro is equipped with a special wall bracket, which can be fixed by matching the thread with the threaded hole designed at the bottom of Xiaoxing Kankan Pro. The wall bracket supports independent adjustment at a certain angle, making the installation position of Xiaoxing Kankan Pro more flexible and suitable for various installation environments. It's considerate for Xiaoxing to look at the Pro and specially equip it with anti riot screws. It's too careful. I like ZTE a little.

▲ Xiaoxing sees that Pro supports wired connection, which is more stable than wireless connection, and the data transmission speed is faster than wireless connection. Of course, the disadvantage is that it needs to be limited by the location of the mesh and the length of the cable at home, and even affects the appearance. It is also heartwarming to see that Xiaoxing Pro specially provides users with a small section of network cable for wired connection, which is very practical for users who do not have network cable at home.

▲ In addition to the bracket and the network cable, there is another heavyweight accessory that has not been seen in Xiaoxing's Pro, that is, the power adapter of Xiaoxing's Pro. Xiaoxing's Pro supports DC 5V charging, and the adapter charging current is 1.5A, similar to most mobile phone charging adapters. The most powerful thing for Xiaoxing is that the length of the power supply connected to the Pro adapter is 3M, which is the longest cloud camera power cable Xiaoxing has ever met, and basically meets the needs of daily installation.

▲ Xiaoxing looks at the equipment list of Pro. Including camera host, power adapter, network cable, wall bracket, expansion bolt screw, quick use guide and warranty card. In addition to those necessary for regular products, Xiaoxing Look Pro also provides a monitoring prompt sticker for users to paste in the monitoring area for prompt; At the same time, there is another one that says "ZTE needs our help?" On the back of the promotional sticker with the words "official WeChat QR code" and other contact information.


App


As an intelligent monitoring device, App is indispensable. Xiaoxing View Pro has remote control function, voice call and other functions. Users can perform relevant operations and realize relevant functions through App Remote Xiaoxing View Pro. At the same time, Xiaoxing View Pro needs to be set through App. So App is very important for Xiaoxing to look at Pro.

▲ Users can download and install the app through the QR code on the outside of the box and in the manual. The registration process is very simple. At the same time, the App provides gesture password settings to effectively protect users' video security.

▲ After entering, it is found that the settings of the App interface are very simple, without messy colors. After entering, you need to add a camera first. The user needs to keep the Xiaoxing View Pro on and click the plus sign on the App interface to add it. Xiaoxing sees that Pro supports both wired and wireless connections. As mentioned earlier, the wired connection is stable and the data transmission speed is fast, but it is limited by the location of the network hole and the length of the network cable; The wireless mode is more convenient, and the current home is generally 100 megabyte wireless routing, so the data transmission problem is not serious. So I use wireless mode here. The whole process went very smoothly.

▲ The App is divided into three sub pages, of which the camera interface is the main page and contains most functions. The other two interfaces are user personal information settings and system update settings, which are relatively simple. In addition to accessing the camera for real-time video viewing, the main page also supports some settings and video related viewing such as time maps.

▲ Click the camera play button on the main page of the app to enter the real-time camera screen, where users can view and remotely operate the camera. It includes the automatic opening of night vision mode, the selection of video definition, the function of three consecutive shots (this function is not understood by the editor), and the related settings of sound, brightness, cruise, zoom, etc. In addition to controlling Xiaoxing to look at the Pro PTZ through the direction key in the middle of the interface to adjust the viewing angle, the user can also directly start the cruise mode to automatically adjust up and down or left and right. It is convenient for 360 ° dead angle monitoring of the video area. There are also three function keys at the bottom. The first screenshot is easy to understand. The second one is used to realize two-way voice calls. Press it to record, and then send it to Xiaoxing to see Pro for playing. There will be some delay in playing, but it is acceptable. Finally, there is the recording function. As mentioned earlier, Xiaoxing View Pro supports storing videos in the memory card. When the user clicks the record button here, Xiaoxing View Pro can record the current video to the memory card for permanent storage. This function is very humanized, allowing users to easily record frequent moments in life or record criminal situations as evidence.

▲ Most settings of Xiaoxing View Pro are under the main page's setting function, including basic information settings, video parameter settings, and mobile alarm settings. What I want to talk about is the video upside down and left and right mirroring functions in the video parameters. Users who press the position of the Xiaoxing Pro lens in the opposite direction no longer need to take the time to disassemble and reinstall it. They just need to set it slightly in the App. Here you are. The third is the mobile sensitivity setting. The user can set the mobile monitoring time period to monitor the baby and perform the anti-theft function.

▲ The last two settings are memory card storage settings. The user can specify a time period for local video recording, which eliminates the inconvenience of pressing the record button to record every time. At the same time, it supports picture change as recording, which effectively saves memory card space and increases endurance. In addition to local video recording, Xiaoxing Watch Pro also supports cloud storage services. Users can purchase cloud services by paying a certain fee. After purchase, each video clip of the user will be uploaded and recorded in the cloud, making the monitoring data jump out of the limit of memory card capacity, and also making the data more secure. I can see the purchase cost. Personally, it is acceptable. Even if he is unwilling to purchase cloud services, Xiaoxing's Pro can still be stored locally. This advantage is unmatched by those cloud cameras. For cloud cameras, without cloud services, he can only watch live broadcasts, which is very painful.


Trial Experience


Xiaoxing View Pro has many functions, such as mobile phone/computer remote viewing and control, 360 ° rotating pan tilt monitoring without dead angle, ultra-high definition recording, 4x zoom, infrared night vision, mobile detection, remote alarm, two-way voice, local storage, cloud storage, etc. The following is a brief introduction to the trial experience of these functions.


The first is the remote viewing and control function. Whether the process of this function depends on the network connection of the mobile phone or not. The editor tested it through the WIFI network. Except for the remote control of the PTZ rotation with a certain delay, other operations are good. Of course, if you use the mobile network, you need to lower the video definition to watch the video, and the effect will be better.


The 360 ° dead angle monitoring of PTZ is one of the highlights of Xiaoxing Look Pro. The product is excellent in both design and function realization of PTZ. The monitoring supports left and right patrols and up and down patrols, which can truly achieve dead angle monitoring. In addition, when the machine is started up, it will perform a self-test operation on the rotation ability of the PTZ (the PTZ will automatically rotate 360 ° for one circle) to ensure the normal working condition of the PTZ. Such a cautious attitude is very powerful.


About HD recording and infrared night vision, the editor decided to speak together. Xiao Bian used Xiao Xing's Pro to take two pictures of normal and night vision with 1080P resolution. See the figure below:

▲ From the above figure, we can see that the 1080P video produced by the 200W pixel camera is very good, the picture is very clear, and can fully meet the needs of daily household or enterprise monitoring. The night vision effect is also excellent, which can clearly see the relevant details of the objects in the dark, but there are also regional characteristics, and the entire screen area cannot be clearly seen. Of course, the result is completely acceptable, and there is no overexposure of the middle position. The performance is very outstanding.


Next is the 4x zoom function of Xiaoxing Check Pro, which is different from the false zoom function of some current cloud cameras at the cost of pixel magnification and sacrificing clarity. Xiaoxing Check Pro uses IOA technology, and the image is still clear without distortion when the details are magnified, which is a true zoom. Below are the samples under small editing, which are 1X focal length and 4X focal length respectively. It can be seen that the picture of Xiaoxing's Pro is still clear and undistorted when the details are magnified. Users can clearly see the details they want, which is quite excellent.

▲ Zoom screenshot.


Xiaoxing sees that the Pro's movement monitoring function is also very excellent. It is not only very convenient to set the time of the monitoring function, but also performs well in the report of suspicious movements with high accuracy. Of course, there are also cases where there is no alarm or alarm delay. I hope it can be improved in the future and continue to improve the alarm accuracy. What Xiaoxing sees in Pro is more powerful than other products. Xiaoxing sees in Pro that when it detects suspicious movement, it not only gives an alarm in time, but also automatically intercepts two pictures at the time of monitoring and provides them to users, so that users can know the situation at the scene at the first time, judge whether there is danger and criminal behavior, and buy time for timely handling. This is very good.

▲ Picture of alarm notification.


The two-way voice function, which is also mentioned earlier, has a delay in voice transmission on the mobile phone, while the voice on the video side is transmitted along with the video voice. Users can communicate with their relatives through this function, which is very convenient. However, voice function voice supports mute, but does not support voice size adjustment. It is recommended to join later to give users a better experience.


Finally, there are local storage and cloud storage functions. These two are hard functions. I will not comment on them here. However, it is very considerate for Xiaoxing to see that Pro can take into account local storage and cloud services to meet the different needs of different people. It is unlikely that some pure cloud camera users can only watch live broadcasts without purchasing cloud services.


Summary: Xiaoxing saw that Pro's re attack not only improved the hardware configuration, but also optimized the software services. 1080P ultra-high definition recording, 360 ° dead angle monitoring, remote viewing and control, infrared night vision, mobile detection alarm, two-way voice, local storage, cloud storage, etc. At present, it has all the functions of mainstream monitoring equipment, and other products do not have functions, such as wired connection, 360 ° PTZ, wall mounted installation, etc, Xiaoxing sees that Pro is the most versatile product in the field of intelligent monitoring at present. The official price of Xiaoxing Check Pro is 499 yuan at present. In terms of its overall quality and comprehensive functions, Xiaoxing Check Pro is definitely a good choice for users who need intelligent monitoring. Of course, I hope Xiaoxing can see the shortcomings of Pro's continuous optimization function, and make it better and better!
