Hardware is very hard, software is very soft -- Netease Qingguo intelligent camera

ide0007

Again, this evaluation is not a manual. If you want to see the real experience of the author, you can drag it to the end of the article, where is the real feeling.

Since the popularization of intelligent hardware, more and more intelligent cameras have been used, especially since three hundred and sixty Joining the battle group with Xiaomi and other large enterprises has also been developing very well. Although the author has paid attention to the small water drop for a long time, he has never had the opportunity to experience it. This time, he was lucky to get a smart camera made by NetEase, NetEase Qingguo, just to see how this smart camera made by NetEase performs.

After reading the introduction, the characteristics of this Qingguo intelligent camera are very prominent, which supports wifi Networking, with one hundred and twelve ° wide angle lens, 720P 's video capture, support seven Days of free cloud video, alerts GIF Push, TF Card local storage, two-way intercom, and night vision. In terms of color, NetEase Green Fruit has two colors to choose from, Yixin Green and Night Sky Black. What I experienced this time was the product of dark night sky.

The front of NetEase Qingguo packing box is very simple. There is only a green fruit in the upper left corner logo , nothing else.

The back is more detailed. It can be seen that the manufacturer is not Netease headquarters in Beijing, but Netease company in Hangzhou. I almost thought it was a fake brand. The whole package is almost invisible except for the website and Easletter one hundred and sixty-three Related words of.

Open the package and you can see a camera lying inside. The visual contrast between the white packaging box and the black camera is great, which is very powerful.

The instruction manual is spread under the camera, and there is a funny chicken iron piece in it, which is a bit of evil interest.

Apart from the manual, this is all the accessories. It is worth mentioning that this power cord is very long, about two As a camera that needs uninterrupted power supply, a long power cord is necessary.

The adapter plug of the power supply is similar to the general mobile phone plug 5V , but the current output is 1.5A 。

The whole body of the camera is black, only the top has a white fruit logo , but maybe the reason why I got the engineering machine is logo There are a lot of scratches around, which seems to affect the beauty.

The base of the green fruit can one hundred and eighty Degree rotation design, in one direction ninety Degree down. This is similar to most smart cameras, which have no special features. However, the base of Qingguo feels good when rotating. The damping is always constant, and it will not slip no matter what angle it is placed on, which can ensure that any posture can be held.

Qingguo supports local TF Card storage, so there is a TF The card slot can be purchased by the user TF Card to store local videos.

The lens of Qingguo can not only three hundred and sixty °, and the lens can be removed through the small clip in the figure.

On the back of the lens, there is a QR code of the EasyTrust logo. This QR code is unique. Through this QR code, the phone can be bound to the camera. The small button in the lower left corner is the reset button. If you often need to change the network environment of the camera, this button is useful.

The bottom of the camera base is made of rubber, which has good skid resistance. It also has strong magnetism, which can be adsorbed on any ferrous metal surface for easy installation and use.

If the place you want to install is not an iron metal surface, it doesn't matter. The funny chicken iron plate attached with the camera plays this role. There is a red sticker on the back of the iron sheet. Tear it off and you can stick it to the position you want to install, and then attach the camera to it.

However, I feel that if the camera is installed outdoors, it would be better to use screws and rising bolts. It is unsafe to just use the magnetic suction design and take it away by anyone.

The host of the camera can be removed. If you have a big hole in your head, you can also install it wherever you want, which is very convenient.

And the whole host is no bigger than the palm of your hand. Don't use it to do bad things.

So how about the workmanship of this small Qingguo Intelligent Imagination Head? In the spirit of adventure, the author will take it apart to see the internal details.

There are four screws on the back of the green fruit, which can be easily removed. After opening, you can see that one red basket and two lines are connected to the reset button on the back cover, and there is nothing else.

At first, I thought the white iron plate on the left was a speaker, but later I found that it was a heat sink, not a speaker.

The circuit board adopts SC28 The density of the board is very high, and the workmanship is very precise.

As an electronic illiterate, although I can see that the hardware of Qingguo is very sophisticated, I can't understand the purpose of the original, so I can only show you some pictures.

It can be seen from the side, micro usb The edge of the interface is a circle mic The design is relatively large. After all, this kind of intelligent camera is often far away from users, so it is larger mic The sound reception effect is also quite good. The actual test found that even if it was more than ten meters away from the Qingguo camera, it could clearly hear the voice of speaking, and the radio effect was very good.

When the circuit board is removed again, there are many original parts on the inside of the circuit board. This is a double-sided circuit board, with precision electronic components on both sides. The workmanship and layout are very meticulous, and no obvious burrs can be seen, which can be seen from the workmanship of large factories. On the left, you can see that there is a circuit board inside, but this board is single-sided.

It can be seen that there are infrared emission lights inside. Because my camera is black, you can't see the interior from the front. If it is the color matching of EasyGreen, you can directly see the emission lights from the front.

Some parameters can be seen around the camera. This is a two hundred The parameters not captured on the left side of the 10 megapixel camera are 2.6mm This is the focal length of this camera. You can check the focal length. For surveillance cameras, the larger the number is, the better. The common large monitoring probe focal length is 8mm perhaps 12mm The smaller the number, the wider the proofreading of the shot, but the smaller the clear range. And this 2.6mm This shows that the effective and clear shooting range of Qingguo intelligent camera is very narrow. In the actual test, it is also found that although a large range can be shot, it is difficult to see the details of the shot picture.

It can be seen from the picture that there are threads on the lens, which can be manually twisted here. The Qingguo camera does not have the auto focusing function, but needs to focus manually. If you feel that the camera's viewing distance is not ideal, you can manually rotate the lens to adjust it, which is not beyond the general default.

On the inner side of the motherboard, there is a chip of MediaTek, which is used by the Qingguo camera CPU , responsible for the control of the intelligent part.

There is a HiSilicon chip on the outside of the motherboard, which is responsible for the monitoring part. The dual brain design makes this Qingguo camera have unique advantages in hardware, and it can be used to process different data streams separately.

The quality of the camera depends on the imaging quality and the actual use effect. Next, the author will experience this excellent Qingguo camera.

First of all, connect the power cord. The Qingguo camera has no switch. It starts after plugging in the power directly, and shuts down after unplugging the power cord. In fact, the author hopes that it will be better to have a switch. When the power cord is placed at this position, the front view of the camera is vertical. In order not to affect the rotation of the base, the interface of the power cord is not vertical, but slightly to one side.

When the power is connected, the indicator light on the front of Qingguo will light up, and then Qingguo will give a voice prompt, "Please select a network connection for Qingguo". The voice is really loud, and it is estimated that you can clearly hear it more than ten meters away. The next step is to set up the network for Qingguo through the mobile phone. During the setting process LED It will flash red and blue alternately. When the network is connected normally, it will always light blue.

The first thing to do is to download Yixin via mobile phone app After all, Qingguo is NetEase's product, which is bound to Eason by force. If you want to use Qingguo, you must download Eason and register an account with Eason. This is actually very unpleasant for users, and it is also a way for Eason to attract users. Fortunately, the author is an easy to trust user, so it doesn't matter.

After installing EasyTrust, scan the QR code on the back of the Qingguo camera through the scanning function, and you will be prompted to download NetEase Qingguo components. After downloading, you can enter the matching operation.

Greenish LED When the indicator light flashes red and blue alternately, and when using Eason for configuration, the Qingguo camera will give a voice prompt "Qingguo is in the process of configuration, please wait". When the configuration is successful, Qingguo will still give a voice prompt "Qingguo has been successfully added, come and experience it".

It feels like Qingguo is embedded in Yixin app Every time, you should start Yixin first, and then start Qingguo from Yixin. After startup, please enter the bound camera interface directly, presenting a still image, where multiple cameras can be bound, that is, you can use one app Monitor multiple cameras at the same time, but only one camera can play and interact with voice at the same time.

Click the picture to enter the currently selected camera, and then click the play arrow on the camera to browse the picture of the camera. When the camera starts playing, the following real-time intercom function will become color and can be used.

When using for the first time, you need to go to the settings menu to make relevant settings, such as turning on offline reminders, so that once the camera is disconnected, it will send a reminder to the phone, and also turn on the cloud video switch. After all, there are seven Days of free cloud videos are wasted. The video definition can also be adjusted, but if the network quality is not very good, it is recommended to use the default option. If it is used for alarm monitoring in an unattended environment, the alarm switch can be turned on, so that the camera will push in time when it detects a moving picture GIF Alarm, but the author found in the actual test that this function can not be used normally, and I don't know what is going on. If you don't want to be discovered, you can turn off the status light LED Will not light up.

It doesn't matter if you don't have a camera. You can use this app Check the camera shared by others. You can also share your own camera to others. Anyway, I don't share it.

As a smart camera, Qingguo can use two-way voice. Through mobile phones, you can monitor the voice of the camera in real time. If you want to speak to the camera through mobile phones, you need to press and hold the microphone icon to send voice intercom content just like WeChat.

Qingguo camera is equipped with night vision effect. It can see clearly even without any light, but it is black and white. After actual testing, this night vision function is very weak. The visual range is very narrow. Things that are a little far away can not be seen clearly. They can only see at a close distance, but it is better than nothing.

Finally, let's talk about the various situations encountered by the author during the experience. Although the introduction is very good, the actual use of this Qingguo camera is not ideal.

The first is the network problem. The author has not been fluent in the test, and always drops the line from time to time. And at home 50M I don't know how to connect to the camera in the network environment.

Each time the network environment of this camera is changed, press the reset key to reset the network settings, and bind the camera again before it can be used.

In fact, other writers can accept it, but they can't stand the unstable network. I wanted to chat with my family through the camera, but I still couldn't connect to it. It was not easy to connect to it, but whether it was disconnected. I could barely video and chat. There was a network delay. The delay time was about 3-5 Second, I lift my arm towards the camera, and the picture in the phone should be 3-5 The same action can only be displayed after seconds, which is too unacceptable.

Maybe this is the reason of engineering machine, maybe this is not independent app However, the author thinks that such a smart camera with good hardware is so disappointing in software experience. I don't know whether the products experienced by others have the same problem.

The author also read others' evaluation reports before writing this evaluation, and found that more of them were written like a manual, such as how the camera looks and how to operate, app What does it look like. But I can't see almost any actual experience. The evaluation report is not a manual, but a real experience. The author also thought too much to describe the experience. After all, the experience is not very good, but that is too irresponsible. No matter whether the product is good or bad, it is really what we evaluators should do to describe the experience.

What cannot be erased is that Netease Qingguo does have many advantages, but the experience of using it needs great improvement. It is hoped that Netease Qingguo can make changes on the mass production machine and make products that are really easy to use.
