When HP is mentioned, your first impression may be its PC or printer, or a series of business office supplies. Surprisingly, HP launched a mini WiFi camera with the model of lc200w, inserted a 120 degree wide-angle lens in a small body, and provided users with a self portrait mode to choose from. What's the actual experience?

Appearance and packaging

The main colors of the package of the lc200w mini WiFi camera are blue and white, which is square and upright, similar to the feeling of HP.

There are detailed camera parameters and features on the left and right sides, with descriptions in English, Korean, Japanese, simplified and traditional Chinese, which is still the custom of international manufacturers.

There is an introduction to the use scenarios behind the package, and the features and functions are at a glance. However, there is no localization, which needs a bad comment.

After unpacking all the accessories, HP packed a lot of things in this small package. The warranty card, data cable, washing sticker, battery and lanyard of the manual make it amazing that HP is still equipped with CDs. In the era of saving money, we have to say that HP is still nostalgic.

The machine we have is a white version, and HP also provides a choice of yellow, red, blue and black colors. The prominent lens is the 8 million camera of Sony CMOS. The HP logo is also marked with FULL HD 1080P, and its specific model is at the bottom left.

There are power key and record key on the top of the machine, and an LCM screen in the middle is used to display some necessary information, such as the usage mode, power and status of the camera.

The bottom is a microUSB interface and a microSD card slot. The rated charging specification is 5V/1A. The design of the lanyard is convenient for taking out.

There are one key on both sides of the machine, one is the WiFi switch key, the other is the mode switch key. All the keys are equipped with indicator lights beside them for the convenience of users.

Open the back cover, and the inside is completely black. The sticker shows that it has passed the certification of European and American institutions, and it is Made In China.

Exclusive app

Although this small camera of HP can work independently, HP Pixi Cam, a special app, is required to give full play to its full strength. Open WiFi, connect your phone, and then open the app to start using.

There are many things worth mentioning about this app. First of all, the default entry mode is the time-lapse photography mode. If you can change it to the commonly used photography mode, it would be better. In addition, no matter how the picture is rotated, it cannot be adjusted to full screen, which is not very friendly for shooting. The iOS version adopts the original pseudo object style, and does not follow the new flat design. Although there is no problem with the functions, it makes people wonder whether HP engineers are lazy and have not updated and adapted.

In the detailed settings, 8M, 4K, 5M and 2M options are available for photos, and only FHD@30fps And HD@30fps Two, also provide screen rotation, time printing and other subtle settings.

The photo part also has beauty options, which is really rare for international manufacturers like HP. It seems that HP's product managers this time still understand the consumer psychology of the target group.

Actual proof sheet

Don't say too much. It's better to use a sample sheet to explain. This picture, which was fixed with a wash sticker, shows the 120 degree wide-angle effect very well. However, the large wide-angle also causes some distortion problems, and there are many noise points in the indoor environment and dark light.

HP's WiFi camera seems to have a natural bonus for outdoor shooting, and its overall quality is quite high, which can meet the requirements of general recording. The effect is good if the light is sufficient, but it takes a long time to shoot. In addition, there is no optical anti shake, and the picture may be blurred after a little shake. I hope HP can add this to the next generation of products.

Even if it is cloudy outside, the effect of sunny days can be taken occasionally. It's just that after a long time of use, the fuselage is obviously hot, especially in summer, when you hold it, you will feel uncomfortable. I don't know whether it is because the built-in WiFi module has a large power. Moreover, the battery capacity has reached 1130mAh, the body size is not small, and the weight is not small. You can still feel a strong sense of existence when you put a lanyard around your neck.

As for the claimed beauty effect, it can only be said that it is not satisfactory, the left side is level 0 beauty, and the right side is level 2 beauty. Maybe the author is so blind that he can't see where HP has gone through beauty treatment. It is obvious that HP has gone through whitening treatment. (Don't worry, the second group of comparison pictures is not the author himself) stay At this point, HP should learn how to please the girls from the domestic XtuXiuxiu.

In general, HP's lc200w mini WiFi camera is more suitable for recording daily life scenes, taking photos with you at any time, and taking photos faster without using apps. The actual effect is basically satisfactory. There are many small defects, such as easy heating, unable to focus manually, no optical anti shake, and almost no beauty effect. HP needs to improve its next-generation products. However, the convenient washing stickers and attached lanyards give it more ways to play. After all, playing well is the most suitable for this small camera.
