Smart home is now stepping into the homes of ordinary people step by step, turning on the smart environment mode, mobile phone remote control appliances, smart door lock, access control bell, smart security monitoring, etc; In recent years, smart cameras have blossomed everywhere like volcanoes, such as ZTE, Xiaoyi, 360, fluorite, Aimu, Dr. Peng, etc. ZTE launched a smart camera in 2014 “ Xiaoxing, have a look ” In 2015, Xiaoxing Xiaoxing Check Pro was launched, and ZTE Xiaoxing Check Mini was followed by Pro It is worth having multiple functions, such as remote care of children at home, remote observation of pets in the yard, real-time receiving of family safety information, voice interaction, etc!

Xiaoxing has a look at the mini, which is about the same size as Xiaoyi and 360. The lens part is 100x60mm. There are three infrared fill lights under the five all glass lenses of the lens.

ZTE Kankan Mini adopts GrainMedia8136S CPU of ， 32-bit of 881M The main frequency meets the daily use, supports the large frame number of 60FPS, and is equipped with 120 ° wide-angle lens and F2.2 aperture, 720p video The monitoring range is wider.

Voice function: built-in microphone supports real-time communication between both parties. ZTE also supports the unique voice wake-up function: as long as you say "Hello, Xiaoxing" to the camera at close range, you can wake up the camera and record a 9-second video clip to send to the phone owner (if you can bind WeChat, it is more fun, and you can share happy moments with your family), Let the baby at home interact with you at any time to increase the relationship between each other!

What is worth praising is the power cord, which is 3 meters long. It is the longest power cord of several smart cameras I have been exposed to. The base and camera and the host are designed in three separate sections to meet the use of various scenes. The middle section with spiral magnetic base is one size smaller than the host lens, and the tail section can be hung on the wall after being combined with the magnetic base.

The manual briefly introduces the host interface, connection mode and main functions, and provides a warranty card and description of hazardous substances.

Several heat vents are designed on the back. It is a common problem to use several cameras to heat up. Try to heat up to ensure stable operation. The horn part should also be on the back. The specific location is not disassembled, so it cannot be located. The side TF card slot is equipped with a dust-proof rubber plug, which can support 32G cards at most

There are wps one key connection key and reset factory reset key on the side. Both keys are solid keys, which eliminates the trouble of finding thimbles everywhere. There is also a small hole in the middle, which is an LED indicator light. Please refer to the manual for the specific effect of the indicator light.

Location: Take screenshots with the built-in screenshot function of the mobile phone APP. Due to the different brightness of the picture position and light, they are all taken in HD mode.

From the top to the bottom, the three pictures are smooth mode, standard definition mode and high-definition mode. Select the corresponding mode to view the outgoing network environment.

The night vision effect of three infrared fill lights can only be said to be good, compared with the effect of other brands using about 10 lights.

Introduction to APP settings and functions

Xiaoxing Kankan provides a variety of linking methods. You can add devices directly from the APP interface and link them step by step. If you need to try again in case of network delay and unsuccessful link, the mobile phone APP will display a QR code. Just aim the QR code at the camera, The method is simple.

The other is that the router supports wps one button fast connection, which is also very convenient. Just turn on wps on the router side, click the wps button on the side of Xiaoxing, and wait for the link quietly!

After the link is successful, you can directly jump into the gesture password setting. The purpose of setting the gesture password is also to consider personal privacy security issues, which is commendable. After setting, you will go to the main page, and then you can see the camera image.

The functions of the home page are relatively intuitive, including night vision switch, definition selection and zoom. The lower part is the screenshot, intercom, voice switch, mobile phone video and other functions. You can enter "My Album" at the bottom.

The photo album includes mobile album, cloud album and local TF card album. Mobile photo albums are mainly used to record the saved content with the screenshots of mobile apps. The cloud is not open for the time being, so the specific mechanism is not known. The local TF card is mainly used to record videos.

Click the menu key at the upper left corner to enter the setting submenu of the mobile phone APP, as shown in the figure below:

The camera setting menu is simple: 『 Camera general "mainly provides camera information and remote restart camera function, 『 Movement alarm 'You can see in the following pictures, 『 Local storage mainly provides TF card and local NAS, Cloud storage 』 Even if the local data is lost, it is still stored in the cloud, just in case, but You need to purchase cloud services at your own expense, 『 Camera picture setting It is mainly designed for camera inversion, 『 Voice wake-up "Say" Hello "to the camera, and you can record a 9-second video clip and send it to the mobile phone APP, 『 Camera built-in microphone 'is Switch of microphone 。

TF card and NAS can be selected for local storage: videos can be directly stored to the NAS server. The advantage of NAS devices is that they have large space, and indeed they must rely on the local network. Local TF card: The official data can be stored on a 32G GT card at most.

The mobile detection alarm supports multiple time periods to be enabled separately, and supports the selection of working days. This setting is more suitable for office workers. The corresponding time period enables the corresponding function. This design is very humanized and deserves praise. As soon as screen changes are detected or a moving object appears in the monitoring range, an alarm message will be sent to the mobile phone immediately.

In addition to the push of alarm information, Xiaoxing has a unique function called "voice wake-up". As long as the user says "Hello Xiaoxing" to the lens of Xiaoxing, after hearing the voice prompt, he can record a 9-second video message, so that the design of active wake-up from the lens SLR is currently only available for Xiaoxing and Xiaoyi 2, The second generation of Xiaoant uses gesture recognition to make video messages.

Summary: As ZTE's products are absolutely reliable in terms of quality, their basic functions are relatively complete, and unilateral voice wake-up is the highlight, NAS local storage solves the problem that TF card memory is too small. The three-stage split design allows Xiaoxing to have more playability. It would be better if the power cord was designed as a USB split type. The number of infrared fill lights can be appropriately increased to enhance night vision effect. The mobile detection design is optional, which would be more suitable for monitoring. The network connection protocol needs to be optimized.
