preface:
I don't know of anyone who, like me, has put three or four smart cameras at home to shoot at each corner, so as to achieve panoramic coverage without dead angle monitoring. Yes, I am like this. Two Xiaoyi second-generation living rooms shoot at each other, and one camera of other brands monitors the hallway entrance, which almost covers the main passageway of the whole room. The advantage is that one camera has a problem, and another is recording. The disadvantage is that it wastes electricity and generates a lot of heat (each camera is very hot, and the heat produced is increasing with each passing day) 。
I'm very glad to be here Test, close to The monitoring range of ° really surprised me. I once used a brand of cloud deck with an angle of 270, which is very good. This time, Xiaoyi cloud deck has almost reached 360 ° panoramic cruise (the actual rotation angle is about 345-350 °), and the price of 194 after discount during the promotion period is very real. Similar cloud deck without cloud deck The price should be the same.
▲ The package of Xiaoyi PTZ is different from that of the family's previous products, such as sports cameras, recorders and cameras. Instead of using fully enclosed boxes, it uses translucent packaging, which is really beautiful as a counter display. But now, with the Internet as the main sales channel, if the products are still safe after being massaged by express delivery, I don't know.
▲ Main functions of packaging back standard: 360 ° panoramic cruise, mobile tracking, infrared night vision, etc;
▲ Parameter configuration: 720P, 112 ° wide-angle, 5V-1A, 4-watt power consumption, support 、 2.4G wait.
▲ The accessories are relatively simple and practical. In addition to the power cord and charging head, there is also a plastic hanger for lifting and equipped with two internal expansion rubber plugs for easy installation on the cement wall.
▲ The size of the PTZ is slightly lower than that of the second generation of Xiaoyi (110mm high), but the waist circumference is larger (the diameter of the base is 93mm), and the weight is 230g. Similarly, the base does not support magnetic suction, and the fixing method is still placement, or screw hoisting.
▲ In terms of lens, the PTZ uses 112 ° wide-angle full optical glass lens, 2.6mm , 4x , although not , but it is enough for home monitoring.
▲ Small There are two tiny holes on the front of the Power indicator, which can be displayed through APP off indicator; The hole below is a microphone, which is used to record audio and realize voice intercom.
▲ 0.8mm CNC speakers are respectively set on the left and right sides, which are mainly used for system prompt tone broadcast and voice intercom call. One on the left and one on the right, the output sound effect is acceptable.
▲ Behind the rear of the PTZ is the Reset one button recovery (exposing the physical keys to avoid the trouble of looking for the thimble), micro usb power interface, TF card slot (supporting 4-32G capacity ), the supply voltage is 5V-1A, so a large capacity It can also drive the use of PTZ.
▲ Omnidirectional dynamic picture, without the first generation of small ant camera and the latest 4K sports camera. However, the price of 4K sports camera is a little expensive, so we will wait and see.
▲ The PTZ supports 345 ° horizontal rotation and 115 ° vertical rotation (official flagship store data). The measured horizontal rotation angle is close to 350 °. The vertical rotation can completely turn the lens into the "hat". Personally, it should be in the For consideration, rotate the lens into the top shell at certain times to completely close the visual field protection 。

▲ From the above six comparison pictures, we can see that the shooting effect of PTZ is slightly inferior to that of the second generation of Xiaoyi, no matter in terms of image resolution, clarity or perspective, it is slightly inferior to that of the second generation of Xiaoyi. After all, the price is there, and PTZ also supports PTZ, so the comprehensive cost performance ratio is worth starting with.
Lifting effect
▲ Since it is a PTZ, it is necessary to make full use of its own advantages, ° Panoramic cruise can only be maximized in the hoisting environment, so I choose to hoist the pan tilt at the corner of the living room and the aisle, that is, to monitor the living room while taking into account the aisle and door positions. After lifting, the screen will be inverted, just open the screen to flip in APP settings.
▲ Since the top socket is not reserved during room decoration, the wiring is a bit troublesome, and the original power cable is only 2 meters long. From the perspective of monitoring, the 2 meter cable is really a bit short. I used a 3-meter data cable that I cleaned myself for wiring, and connected it to the power plug board of the optical cat and router at the corner of the wall for power supply.
▲ The advantage of PTZ is that it can cruise with a motor. Although it is a panoramic cruise, it does not represent panoramic monitoring, and there will still be blind spots. Because PTZ freezes the picture every 10 seconds, and then rotates to the next lens, there will still be blind spots, so I still use it with the second generation of ants, so even when PTZ is cruising, The second generation of ants will still stare at the main area 24 hours a day.
▲ The monitoring picture taken after lifting has a good coverage effect. Although there is a blind spot when cruising, I use the second generation of ants to shoot at the door, so I don't need to worry about the blind spot of PTZ.
▲ It has to be mentioned that the PTZ is also equipped with a movement tracking function. When a moving object is detected, as long as the moving object speed is not very fast, the lens will automatically track the direction of the object and keep the real-time tracking of the screen. However, in the actual test, if there are multiple objects moving in the same screen, The camera will use the latest detected moving source as target tracking.
APP use
▲ The mobile phone software still uses the APP shared with Xiaoyi II, and the networking mode is the same as Xiaoyi II, which scans the mobile phone APP through the lens of PTZ itself To link to the network, the function of PTZ is relatively simple. Compared with the second generation of ants, it has less floating population statistics, baby cry detection, etc. Its main function is still to cruise and monitor.
▲ It supports mobile tracking, panoramic cruise, preset favorite point cruise, time segment and all-weather cruise, etc. The panoramic cruise takes about 12 shots, and each shot stays for 10 seconds. With the rotation time, the entire panoramic cruise of 350 ° takes about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. In other words, the picture from a certain angle can disappear for about 2 minutes at most.
▲ Preset the favorite point cruise. You can set up up to 8 image favorite points. After starting the favorite point cruise, the lens will stay at each favorite point for 10 seconds, and then rotate to the next lens. This cruise combination scheme can DIY itself and cruise according to your own requirements.
▲ The PTZ does not support the setting of the monitoring image, and cannot select some areas in the image as the mobile monitoring range, as Xiaoyi II did. Instead, the entire lens image is the range of motion detection. As long as there are moving objects in the image, an alarm will be given.
▲ The effect of mobile detection is nothing to say. I found mice scurrying around in my home these days. The second generation of ants used before were all placed on the table, and the monitoring area set was mainly facing the door, so I didn't pay attention to the situation on the ground. After using the PTZ, I found that there was a mouse running out every night.
▲ I have been seriously affected by this mouse these days. I always feel uncomfortable when I don't catch it. I always stare at it at night When I call the police, I'll see if the mouse can get out. Don't get caught by me, or I'll see how I can deal with you.
▲ Not only a moving object as big as a mouse can be detected, but also one Flying in front of the camera, they were all detected and sent me a push alarm. Should I set the sensitivity so that I don't have to sleep at night.
Summary:
Panoramic cruise, 345 ° horizontally and 115 ° vertically, with a very wide picture coverage.
The mobile detection alarm effect is very sensitive, and the mobile tracking function is full of technology.
The price has obvious advantages over similar products, and can only be bought at the same price 。
The direction operation of the PTZ responds in a timely manner. When the network conditions are good, the response is almost seconds.
The 720P resolution is really a bit poor. It's OK in the daytime, but the effect at night is weak.
After power on, the lens rotates horizontally to the end, and the motor continues to work for tens of seconds.
