With the popularization of intelligent products, the effect is wider! More and more intelligent products are integrated into every household. From wireless routing to today's smart camera, great progress has been made! More people are willing to define these two products as two leaders in smart home, such as the smart camera we will talk about today!

ZTE, which has been eyeing the smart home hardware market for the past two years, has received recognition from all walks of life since the launch of the high-end 1080P ultra clear PTZ Xiaoxing Kankan Pro in 2015. Today, ZTE has launched the Xiaoxing Kankan Memo again, hoping to bring high-quality PTZ to the homes of ordinary consumers. I'm lucky to get the chance to check out Memo for the first time! Now let's experience Xiaoxing and see the actual effect of Memo!

This time, there is no big difference between Memo and Pro, but the resolution and image quality have been optimized, especially in the case of weak light, and the price has also been reduced to 398 yuan! In the first round, 3000 sets will be released at half price of 199 yuan)! In fact, compared with the products with similar parameters, the price has a very good cost performance among many smart cameras! The purpose is also very simple to make the low price market more acceptable to consumers and to bring high-quality products to ordinary consumers' homes! This may be the reason for launching a more cost-effective Xiaoxing Look at the Memo smart camera!

In terms of packaging, Xiaoxing saw that Memo changed its traditional white style and began to use today's popular kraft paper packaging, which is more environmentally friendly and simple at the same time.

Open the package and use foam inside to inlay Xiaoxing's Memo, which can effectively prevent collision damage during transportation.

The family photo includes: Xiaoxing has a look at the Memo host, a power adapter, a network cable, a user manual and a QR code card.

In terms of accessories, Xiaoxing found that the Memo host is equipped with a 5V 1.5A power supply. The author tried to use a mobile power supply or a mobile phone charger to connect to Xiaoxing and found that the Memo host can be used with the 1A or 2A mobile phone power supply we use everyday.

In addition, an additional network cable is provided, which can not only be used without wireless network, but also effectively ensure Xiaoxing's connection speed of Memo, making the video more smooth. In fact, it is more convenient to connect with the network cable: the machine can start to work without any settings through the network cable interface and route Unfortunately, Xiaoxing found that Memo does not support 5G networks!

The appearance of Xiaoxing Look at Memo is almost the same as that of Xiaoxing Look at PRO. Because of the 360 ° PTZ design, Xiaoxing Look at Memo is larger than ordinary smart cameras.

In the round camera part, Xiaoxing sees that Memo is equipped with a 720P high-definition camera with a F2.2 aperture. At the same time, because of the use of a 1/4 CMOS sensor and five full glass large lenses, the definition of the recorded video is clearer than that of the ordinary 720P camera. Ten LED infrared night vision lights are designed around the camera head, This can lead to safer 24-hour monitoring.

Xiaoxing looks at the base of the Memo, which is designed with a 360 ° rotating pan tilt, but since the author's is an internal measuring machine, the rotation angle of the machine should be exactly 290 ° pan tilt angle+70 ° lens focusing! With the ability to rotate left and right up and down! In the true sense of monitoring, only this kind of machine can do without leaving a dead corner.

A 3dBi gain antenna is designed behind the camera. It can ensure that the wireless network connection distance is longer and the transmission is more stable.

According to the different directions of the network signals, the antenna also supports the adjustment of 190 ° up and 90 ° down.

In Xiaoxing, there are honeycomb sound holes in the center of the two sides of the Memo camera. The simultaneous sound of the left and right channels can also bring better stereo sound quality.

Xiaoxing saw that all the key holes of the Memo are designed on the back of the base, while the back of the round camera has no design, which is relatively simple.

The keyhole design of the base part is from left to right, which includes reset hole, indicator light, WPS quick link, micro SD card slot, RJ45 network cable interface and micro USB power interface.

It is worth mentioning that Xiaoxing has a look at the maximum 32G TF memory card supported by Memo, which will be upgraded to a maximum 128G memory card through optimization later! At most 10 * 24 hours of video can be stored under the lowest recording quality, and it can automatically cycle coverage. At the same time, for faster and more stable video recording, try to use a Class 10 video high-speed memory card.

The four anti slip rubber pads, two buckles and a standard thread opening in the center at the bottom of the rotary head indicate that Xiaoxing has many ways to fix the Memo. There is always one way that will suit you. In addition, you can also see a large number of cooling hole designs at the bottom. At the same time, a two-dimensional code for matching the body is pasted at the bottom.

The base needs to be fixed, so it cannot be directly stuck on the wall under normal circumstances! The author has a good idea! Perfect solution to the problem of nailless fixation! First, we can stick one or more pieces of transparent glue on the wall of B! Just stick it firmly! Secondly, let's look at Xiaoxing and see that the base of Memo is also pasted with transparent adhesive, and then another double-sided adhesive is pasted on the transparent adhesive, so that both sides A and B have smooth surfaces that can be pasted! Double sided adhesive tape can hold both tightly! Nail free fixation is finished! Here is the completed picture!

Xiaoxing sees that the camera of Memo can cruise the scene up and down, and users can control the direction through the APP customer's playing pictures!

Some people may be worried about Xiao Xing to see if the Memo gets stuck when it rotates? And I can tell you that Xiao Xing saw that the Memo was very smooth when rotating, and there was no problem of getting stuck! However, it should also be considered whether the use will be affected by the accumulation of dust, the loss of lubricating oil, etc,

Xiaoxing, see that Memo is not automatically completed! We also need to combine ZTE Smart Home APP client to create a real smart home! The whole working interface of ZTE Smart Home App adopts a light blue style, which makes the client more refreshing. For the first time, users need to scan with QR code, download and install with the QR code of the app in the guide, and later, they need to bind the QR code on the bottom of the Wifi or the fuselage to watch Xiaoxing's Memo! After the above steps are completed, we can see that ZTE Smart Home's APP is mainly divided into three parts on the user interface, playing the interface! Setting interface! And device connection interface!

In the APP interface, we can complete the most basic two-way call functions, voice control, real-time photo shooting, live screenshots and video recording! The two-way call can be adjusted to press and hold call or real-time conversation in the system settings!

Compared with other smart cameras! Xiaoxing sees that Memo has more functions For example, it supports night vision, cruise zoom and mobile tracking! These functions will be highlighted in the evaluation later! The special problem is that these functions can be called only after the user clicks the play interface!

Remote control camera

Support manual adjustment of picture vision

After clicking the play button in the lower left corner, the user can click the screen to call the direction button! With the direction button, you can remotely control the rotation angle of the camera to obtain a 360 degree visual image,

Cruising mobile vision! Support up, down, left and right rotation

Of course, some users will ask that every time they look at the panorama, they need to use the old sliding control? In fact, Xiaoxing can see that Memo supports cruise mode, so that Xiaoxing can see that the up and down vision of Memo can rotate automatically, or the left and right vision can rotate!

Fixed 3 view angles for easy calling!

Among them, we can also fix the position, for example, when I adjust Xiaoxing to see the angle of Memo! Just click the square icon in the above figure! You can call up three angle pictures! After that, we can fix a picture vision by long pressing the interface! After another picture vision is adjusted, press and hold again to fix the second picture vision! By analogy, a total of three screen views can be set, and the next time you use it, click the corresponding screen Xiaoxing can automatically adjust to this visual angle by looking at Memo!

Through this way, we can have more than one vision!

Xiaoxing sees that Memo supports three storage modes, including TF card storage, cloud storage and NAS device storage This method supports viewing in the mobile phone client, and the system will mark the details of the goods in the month, month, and day in every minute! It is also very convenient for users to find content!

I want to talk about the use of cloud storage!

Cloud storage can be stored and called at any time, and you can easily see 7 or 30 days of video recordings when you open your phone! If your camera is damaged by thieves! Your data can still be called! Now the poor thief has nothing to hide!

The operation interface is very simple, but the functions are very rich! After the author's test, Xiaoxing found that the mobile under the network of Memo 4G is very smooth. If the 3G network is delayed a little.

Xiaoxing has done a lot of work on the camera, including the omnidirectional rotation mentioned above. Secondly, Xiaoxing has seen that the lens of Memo is also very good. With the 720P high resolution and five large lenses with all glass optical lenses, the aperture is up to F2.2, making the image more transparent and bright. At the same time, Xiaoxing has seen that Memo does not only work in the daytime, In the case of night view, Xiaoxing sees that the Memo is also equipped with 10 LED infrared night vision lights, which automatically switch to the night mode when the light is dim, and then change to the day mode again when the light is bright, providing users with 24-hour protection. How about Xiaoxing sees the imaging ability of the Memo? Now let's experience it!

Xiaoxing sees that Memo supports at least 960 * 540. In smooth mode, the traffic consumed per second is about 16-28Kb/s. In order to improve the smoothness of remote viewing, it naturally needs to reduce the image quality, which also tells us that users can stream video monitoring in 2G and 3G networks!

In the standard definition mode, Xiaoxing looked at the 20-50kb/s traffic of the small size of Memo, which was basically maintained at about 26KB after stabilization. From the above picture, the picture quality of the standard definition mode has been improved, and the jagged sense on the smooth mode has also been significantly reduced, as shown in the above picture, a word of "wealth and auspiciousness" can also be seen clearly! The distance of this test is about 4 meters. If it is to recognize a face, it must be OK!

The resolution in HD mode is 1280 * 720, and the traffic consumption is about 40-100Kb/s. The image quality in this environment is obviously clearer! As shown in the above picture, the details of the banner can also be seen clearly! The sharpness of the picture quality is also much higher! In terms of white balance, I'm glad to see that Memo is a little bit cold, but there is really no big problem in this situation!

Speaking of traffic, we will talk about Xiaoxing and look at the other three cases of Memo,

The first is the real-time picture function, This function is mainly used to enable users to know the real-time situation at home at the first time when the traffic is insufficient, and show it to users in the form of pictures! Therefore, the author suggests that users can use it when the traffic is low. If they really find out the situation, they will immediately switch to real-time video! "From simple to deep" is also one of Xiaoxing's humanistic views of Memo!

The second is real-time dialogue It's like two users are making a phone call! As long as there is a Xiaoxing view of Memo, users can have a real-time conversation through their mobile phones and Xiaoxing view of Memo In fact, it is video chat But this video chat is more efficient, because Xiaoxing sees that Memo supports full duplex real-time calls, AEC (echo cancellation) and noise reduction algorithms, and can complete clear and smooth calls in a good network environment!

The third is voice wake-up We just need to look at Xiaoxing and say "Hello, Xiaoxing" to the Memo everyday, and then we can send video invitations or video messages to relatives in the distance. These functions are really good for the elderly or children at home Because they may not be familiar with the operation of digital products, too cumbersome experience is a challenge for them. Xiaoxing sees that Memo will be easier to operate with this voice wake-up function! Secondly, the wake-up function is the voice vocabulary for "Hello!"! Hello! So as to be more grounded!

Fourth: Support web side monitoring

Xiaoxing Check Memo not only supports viewing live video on the mobile side, but we can also monitor it in real time with the web page! In daily life, if we forget to bring our mobile phone, or the mobile phone has no traffic! What should I do? At this time, we can directly access online monitoring by searching "Xiaoxing Check Memo" online, and can check the monitoring at any time on the computer! Among many smart cameras, only Xiaoxing can see how user-friendly Memo is! This is also my favorite thing about Xiaoxing's visit to Memo

Fifth: support mobile monitoring

In fact, this function is a very good function in combination with the rotatable PTZ. For example, if a thief enters your home, Xiaoxing can watch Memo and automatically detect moving objects, and automatically follow the camera! In this way, all the actions and directions of the thief are clear!

On the whole, this Xiaoxing View Memo should be another option for ZTE's smart camera price segment. In terms of performance, it is different from the ZTE View Pro released earlier only in terms of image quality. One supports 1080P, and the other 720P! But the system experience and operation are exactly the same! This time, Xiaoxing has seen that the pre sale of Memo has been opened in Jingdong Mall, and the price is 398 yuan. The pre-sale period is from March 29 to April 5, and will be officially launched on April 6. At present, the minimum price of JD's appointment for the first 3000 people is 189 yuan, which is 100-300 yuan lower than that of Xiaoxing's Memo! From this point of view, the cost performance ratio is very obvious!

In terms of user selection, the author suggested that if you need a home level intelligent camera with a 360 degree controllable PTZ, ZTE Look series is also a good choice, and in this Xiaoxing Look, select the model you need. I also said that if you have a great demand for image quality, you can choose Xiaoxing Look Pro If you don't have too high requirements for image quality, and there are restrictions on home network speed, you can choose Xiaoxing to check out the Memo! The 720P image quality is enough for daily use, and it can also save some traffic and cost more than 100! After having Xiaoxing Check Pro, we also released Xiaoxing Check Memo! I think ZTE's biggest goal is to recommend better products to users with the advantage of high cost performance,

advantage:

1) The image quality of 720P is good, which is the best optimized smart camera at present

2) With a pan tilt that can rotate 360 degrees!

3) Mobile monitoring is supported!

4) Support voice wake-up function

5) High cost performance ratio of cloud service charges

Disadvantages:

1) There is a little delay in PTZ rotation

2) Obvious infrared light at night

3) Loudspeaker is too low
