First of all, I would like to thank Lei Feng.com for this trial opportunity. Before talking about today's products, let's briefly talk about smart home. The so-called people-oriented technology, including smart phones, is designed to better serve life, solve various pain points of life, and make life easier. In fact, many people have a strong demand for family security for a long time, but the threshold is too high and the cost is too high. However, in recent years, the continuous popularity of smart home has finally made family security from extravagance into reality, and the important carrier to achieve this demand is the home network camera. At present, there are many products with similar functions and prices in this category, among which Xiaomi's Xiaoyi intelligent camera is highly known. Today, we bring you to experience the Xiaohei family camera produced by "Ermu". Let's take a look at the advantages and features compared with similar products

The small black package uses white as the main color, giving a light and bright design style. At the moment I picked up the box, all my feelings were forgotten. I used one word to describe it as "heavy", which is very heavy. I don't know why. I always like this relatively heavy electronic product. Maybe it is because that Sony color TV, which is older than me, is so heavy, but its quality is so good!

The products and accessories in the box are not stacked randomly, but are placed orderly and classified by compartments. Each layer is designed with small handles, which can be easily lifted. It can also be seen from here that Xiaohei's packaging design is more careful.

The small black lens is made of glass, which is crystal clear. The indicator light, infrared light, microphone, speaker and other body parts are hidden under the surrounding shell. In addition, all parts can actually be regarded as the base supporting the host, and all of them are matte treated, giving a high-end modern feeling. The base of the lowest circular part also uses metal materials, which not only ensures the stability of the center of gravity of the whole machine, but also can to a certain extent prevent external force damage, consistent with the positioning of home camera products. In addition, there are not many accessories, but there are many. The power adapter supports 5V~2A Output, power line length approx 2M The high current ensures the stability of the camera for a long time operation, and the longer power cable can be freely wired. In fact, these configurations are more suitable for webcams. Let's praise the conscience of the manufacturer!

The most important part of a webcam is the camera component. Xiaohei adopted 1/4 Inch low illuminance CMOS , matching one hundred and ten ° wide angle lens, capable of recording thirty frame / Seconds 720P Video, also equipped with fifteen High power infrared light-emitting diodes can automatically switch infrared filters at night. Through practical experience, even in the case of poor lighting in the room, it can still ensure a high image sharpness and purity. The specific image quality performance will be discussed later APP Discuss in detail when necessary.

Since Xiaohei is mainly used for home monitoring, its installation becomes particularly important. Xiaohei provides a variety of installation methods. It has a chassis with magnets attached. You can directly attach the chassis to metal surfaces such as refrigerators or security doors, or use screws or nails to firmly fix the chassis on the wall. The host only needs to attach it gently to the bottom plate. If maintenance is required, the host can be easily removed. Because the lens also supports three hundred and sixty So if you need to monitor a large range, you can even install it directly on the ceiling, and then adjust the lens to "view the whole world". Moreover, a universal shaft is also used between the main engine and the base, so the installation direction of the chassis does not need special attention ~ However, some people may ask that this suction cup fixing method is easy to remove, so if the camera is taken away when the house is stolen, then the surveillance video cannot be retrieved? In fact, don't worry about this. The specific mystery will be revealed later.

After looking at the appearance and hardware configuration, let's have a detailed understanding of the APP Experience.

APP support Android And iOS Dual platform. Here's an example of Android platform: Xiaohei will create a hotspot after power on, and the indicator light will flash red and blue alternately after initialization, when the phone is turned on APP Select the same wifi Signal and fill in the password, then the phone will switch to the one created by Xiao Hei wifi Hotspot, turn the router's wifi The name and password are sent to Xiaohei. After Xiaohei and his mobile phone are connected to the same LAN, the connection is basically completed. At this time, you can also customize the camera name.

Xiaohei's background relies on strong Baidu Cloud support, which can upload the dynamic pictures detected by the system to Baidu Cloud Server in real time, and support playback at any time through thumbnail preview or timeline on mobile phones. Not only that, you can also use Xiaohei as a live broadcast device to share the captured pictures to the internet or to your friends in real time.

However, it should be noted that due to the high cost of cloud services, the cloud backup and playback functions are charged, which are divided into the following categories according to the duration of cloud storage and service purchase four Three schemes.

This is Xiaohei's real-time monitoring interface, which can be set to smooth, high-definition, ultra clear and other different definitions. Of course, the higher the definition, the longer the delay of the image. Therefore, if the timeliness of the monitoring image is required, "smooth" clarity is recommended. Xiaohei's voice function is two-way. The voice collected through Xiaohei will be transmitted to the mobile phone in real time. You can also press and hold the microphone button to speak. The voice will also be played through Xiaohei's speakers. This function is a good idea to scare thieves → _ →

Click to enter the setting interface of Xiaohei, and you will find that its functions are extremely powerful, and the items that can be set are very rich. Here we will not analyze them one by one, but focus on a few features. In my opinion, the most valuable feature is the function shared by the family. We can monitor it together to avoid the opportunity for thieves due to negligence. In addition, users can manually adjust the night vision, exposure and other parameters of Xiaohei to make the picture more ideal. At the same time, if you have more than one small black camera APP The terminal can also enable the "four screen play" function. Is there a quick start for professional monitoring ~

Summary

Advantages

［ one The picture sharpness is high and the shooting effect is ideal;

［ two The price is moderate, which is an ideal alternative to traditional security;

［ three ] Mobile phone APP High degree of completion, easy and fast to use;

Disadvantages

［ one ] Cloud service charges are on the high side, hope to provide some lower cost packages;

［ two ] There is no local storage scheme, and the way to view and playback video is limited.

The [Aimu] small black camera experienced this time has a very high degree of completion in terms of both hardware and software. Therefore, it can be used to replace the traditional complex security system. As a simple home security camera, it has no problem. If you are a user with a high demand for security, you can buy a small black and match it with a cloud service package suitable for you to meet your daily needs. I just feel a little pity that there is no design SD Card expansion, which greatly limits its application range. If future products can store videos locally, perhaps it is not impossible for Xiaohei to expand into a tachograph ~ On the whole, Xiaohei home camera is a security product choice worth considering!
