Nowadays, smart cameras have also attracted people's attention. More and more users use smart cameras to guard their homes against theft, and can also take care of the elderly, children and pets at home. I have evaluated many wireless cameras, webcams, and home security cameras. I am used to learning about a product from the following aspects: image quality, lens perspective, software functions, camera features, etc. Let me share with you my experience of using this Vimtag smart camera.

Product manual and warranty card

When I opened the box for the first time and saw the Vimtag intelligent camera, it looked like an Asimo robot. The camera had a white and black shiny plastic shell to protect the lens. The texture was very good. There was a black camera on the front. There were two dot matrix infrared lights on both sides of the camera. The camera reached 2 million pixels, and video shooting could reach 1920 × 1080 full HD. On the basis of ordinary surveillance cameras, wired network and wireless network connections are added.

Vimtag P1 has two connection methods. One is wireless connection, which can be used only by connecting the power supply. The other is connecting the network cable and the power supply. This adapter is equivalent to adding a network cable interface. It seems that Vimtag pursues high appearance. After successful connection, the network cable interface can be removed, which makes the appearance of this camera more concise.

Behind the camera is a reset switch, an Ethernet/power connector, and a function button, which currently has no function.

One side of the camera is a mini SD card slot (supports up to 64 g memory cards). The other side is a microphone and speaker, which can support two-way voice intercom.

Finally, look at the base. There is a tripod interface and a QR code and ID printed on it. When using Vimtag's iOS and Android programs, scan the QR code according to the system prompts.

The interface of the application is relatively simple. The buttons include start recording, take photos, start two-way audio conversation and simple settings.

Here we need to mention a function called motion detection. When the camera detects the movement of the image, it will send a notice to your mobile device. At this time, click on to see the real-time image recorded by the camera. You can set the sensitivity and time of motion detection according to your own needs, which can be set according to different places and needs, And when the camera detects the movement of the picture, it will automatically capture the picture and save the clip video, which is very helpful for anti-theft. However, these videos seem to be saved in the cloud. They need to be loaded when viewing. They can't find the location stored on the phone, and there is no sharing button. There is no built-in sharing function. Instead, they can save image data to the phone in the software.

The video quality is very clear, but the view angle is very narrow. However, it can be rotated remotely, which can make up for this deficiency. The left and right rotation can reach 350 °, and the up and down rotation can reach 100 °. Basically, there is no dead angle. The difference between the traditional camera and the camera can be perceived only when it is operated. For example, if you install the camera outside the door, you can use the remote control to rotate it to get more perspective. If you install it indoors, when people are at home, you can rotate the camera to face the wall, which can protect privacy.

Night vision is also good. This is the effect of day and night. The night vision effect of VimtagP1 is very good, and the furniture can still be photographed very clearly without light.

This is the same view as night vision.

After using this smart camera for a few weeks, I think it is very practical. Finally, I summarize its advantages and disadvantages:

1. Image quality. VimtagP1 can set the highest resolution of 1080. The picture is very clear, the color is accurate, and the night vision effect is also very good.

2. The viewing angle of Vimtag P1 is only 70 °, but it can be remotely controlled from top to bottom, left to right, and you can see where you want.

3. Software and system: Vimtag software is simple to use, and it basically does not need setting in normal use. The PC end web page is more fluent, and the super control camera on the mobile phone shakes its head with a sense of technology.

Summary, Vimtag The P1 smart camera, as described on the official website, does everything it can. It is a very practical home watching monitor. There are no major problems in the use process. Friends who want to experience smart home can start with the smart camera.
