The rise of smart home has driven the interaction of more smart products, and it has also brought some convenience to our life. When it comes to smart home, we believe that smart cameras are more familiar. At present, Xiaomi, fluorite and 360 smart cameras are popular in the market. Although they are popular, they cannot avoid some defects in product functions, such as night vision.

ZTE, which has always been committed to the communication industry, launched a highly concerned "Xiaoxing Kankan Mini Smart Camera" on September 23 after launching the Xiaoxing Kankan Pro network camera, and exhibited it in the form of a press conference, which shows ZTE's recognition of this camera and its determination to move into smart home.

Xiaoxing looked at the third generation product of Xiaoxing series. This time, it was introduced to the market at a price of 188 yuan. Under the pressure of many brands, what highlights can we pay attention to and buy?

First, briefly introduce the highlights. In terms of image quality and wide-angle, it adopts 120 ° viewing angle * 720P high-definition image quality combination, and has infrared night vision, full duplex real-time call and other functions. The most noteworthy thing is that compared with the previous two generations, the voice wake-up function has been added. Just say "Hello, Xiaoxing" and the video will be automatically recorded and the phone will be notified to send a call request to the APP. This time, more options have been added in terms of storage. Exclusive NAS private cloud storage, cloud storage and TF card local storage are also the smart cameras with the most storage methods seen so far. After a brief introduction to the highlights, let's actually experience it.

The outer package uses simple white as the background. In addition to the Xiaoxing webcam pattern on the front, there is only the product name and no more introduction. It is simple and comfortable on the whole.

Accessories are equipped with manuals, warranty cards and power adapters. As smart cameras, it is important to read the manuals carefully. In the process of setting and binding, careful reading can help us get started easily.

Xiao Xing finds that the mini is still very pleasing in terms of appearance design, and feels that it is full of technology. The round polished black and white matching design is more convenient to clean dust than common cameras. In terms of size, 99.1mm * 40mm, light in shape, does not take up too much space when placed in any position. The 280g weight plus a stable base is also the reason for keeping the tilt.

In terms of lens, it has a 720P high-definition camera with a 120 degree wide angle to increase the visual range. The one on the lens is a light sensor, which can automatically identify the day and night. In the aspect of night vision, three infrared LED lights are built in to achieve the best and clearest effect. The two-way call function is supported. The call hole is located below the lens, which can directly conduct remote conversation, simple and convenient.

There are two physical buttons on the right side of the fuselage, namely WPS and factory reset button, and the circular hole in the middle is the indicator light, which can be said to be very simple in practical operation. The LED lights in three colors are used as reminders, red is in normal startup, blue is in network configuration, and green is in normal operation of the equipment, without too complicated identification, It is easy to remember the representative of color in this way.

As mentioned above, mini supports three storage modes: NAS private cloud storage, cloud storage and TF card local storage. In a brief introduction, NAS private cloud storage can only be used with outsourced NAS devices, which is convenient in terms of unlimited capacity. I believe you are familiar with cloud storage. Today's webcams are basically similar to cloud storage. The convenient side is that we can call them out no matter where we are by logging in through the account. The local storage TF card currently supports up to 32G, and can store images of any quality for up to 10 * 24 hours. Once the TF is full, it will be automatically overwritten. In terms of storage methods, I prefer such diversified storage methods.

In addition to focusing on image quality and functions, we also pay attention to machine cooling. After all, the camera is a long-term operation, and it is extremely important to have good cooling. This time, Xiaoxing looked at the tiny holes on the back and top of the mini. In addition to the speaker function, it also has the heat dissipation function. The two-dimensional code in the middle is the machine code. When binding, it only needs to scan. It is recommended that the three rows of holes on the back should not be blocked, so as to maintain stable operation.

In addition to the two anti slip foot pads at the bottom, the hole for hanging nails is added, which is suitable for some friends. Because of the position angle, it can be directly hung on the nails. The details are very considerate.

Xiaoxing sees that the mini is relatively wide in the use scene. After all, the compact appearance has little requirement for location, such as baby watching, home watching, shop watching, pet watching, etc. The simple thing is that it can be viewed anytime and anywhere through the mobile phone client provided. In use, it can be placed or pinned. It is worth saying that the base can be removed directly, and the bottom of the camera is a magnet. For those who want to hang but not punch holes, it is undoubtedly a very good design. As long as there is iron, it can be absorbed, reducing the space occupation, and achieving the purpose of monitoring at any time.

Interestingly, the voice wake-up function is added this time. Just say "Hello, Xiaoxing!" to Xiaoxing's mini, and the video recording will be automatically started, and the phone will be notified to send a call request to the APP. The advantage of this function is that it does not require more trouble to open the operation, and only needs voice to wake up, which is rarely seen in the market at present.

Xiaoxing has a look at the client experience of MINI C320 HD webcam

After the introduction of appearance and function, of course, the next part is the client part. In terms of device support, Android and IOS devices are currently supported, and can be downloaded by scanning the QR code of the outer package or instructions. You can set more functions and view remote videos on the client. Let's take a look at the client.

Enter the main interface of Homecare+client to prompt for simple registration. After the registration is completed, bind the device first. It can be completed by scanning the two-dimensional code on the body or manually entering.

It can be seen that each step of the binding process is shown in pictures and texts. The binding operation is relatively simple and easy to understand. The support of intelligent cameras in the network is large, of course, the larger the bandwidth, the better. This can keep the picture stable and high-definition. After the connection is successful, you can enter the main interface to view the projected screen immediately by clicking play, or you can make some settings through the following four menus.

Entering the setting interface, you can set some simple functions of Xiaoxing View Mini, such as clear selection of image quality, mobile alarm, etc. Once set, you will be notified of any abnormal situation. The supported cloud storage is to purchase storage space, which depends on personal needs.

The screenshots and videos taken will be classified and stored. For iPhone, they can be directly stored to our phone album and videos by exporting. In view of the screen, the screenshot and recording functions are added below, which only need to be operated according to personal needs. As mentioned earlier, the full duplex two-way call function can be used to conduct a remote conversation by simply pressing and holding the voice icon. The voice is relatively clear, but the sound from the camera is still slightly smaller.

Although the pixel of Xiaoxing Mini is only 720P, in the actual screenshot effect display, the definition is still very impressive, especially in the black and white pictures of night vision, which is undoubtedly a smart camera worth buying for our daily shop and home viewing.

For friends who have been away from home for a long time or are busy working during the day, it is inevitable that they will miss their children at home. Xiaoxing sees that Mini can easily check any situation of the baby at home from a remote phone. This is the most desirable thing for parents. They can also chat with the baby in their spare time through two-way communication.

In addition to supporting the mobile terminal to view at any time, you can also directly log in to the official website and view it on the computer side, and the login method is our registration number. When selecting high-definition image quality for smart cameras, the bandwidth is generally large. For friends with small water pipes, the image quality may need to be reduced, while those with large water pipes need not worry about this problem.

Next, let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages

advantage:

1: The night vision performance is very good

2: 120 ° wide angle coverage is relatively large

3: Three different storage options

4: Voice wake-up function

Disadvantages:

1: Android phone pictures and videos have no export interface, iPhone has

2: The power cord is simple

Xiaoxing looked at the MINI C320 high-definition webcam as the third-generation product of Xiaoxing's system. It can be seen that the changes and improvements are quite sufficient. In addition to voice wake-up and three ways of storage, it can be said that it is a bright spot on many webcams. ZTE has been committed to the long-term determination of smart home. Since there are still many products involved in smart home, of course, we hope ZTE will bring more other products of smart home in the future. Interested friends may pay attention to this Xiaoxing from ZTE and look at the MINI C320 high-definition webcam. Maybe they will have the same view.
