In recent years, Xiaomi's ecosystem has become more and more powerful. From patch panels to televisions, it can achieve multiple controls and establish scenarios through Xiaomi's smart APP. The more ecological enterprises it cooperates with, the better it is. It has been the dream of many friends to link all products at home and achieve control, let alone anything else, Let's say that one of the ecological chain enterprises "Xiaoyi Technology" launched earlier, the Xiaoyi intelligent camera, has been popular with many users. This time, a new product "Mijia Xiaobai intelligent camera" has been brought. In addition to 1080p high-definition shooting, infrared night vision, two-way communication and real-time monitoring, this time, voice interaction mode has also been added, It is interesting to have a simple chat query. It is worth mentioning that it supports 360 ° rotation shooting, which is more comprehensive in the area of monitoring. I am lucky to experience this product this time. I hope that in the future experience, I can provide some reference help for consumers when purchasing.

I have experienced the first generation of Xiaoyi intelligent camera before. At that time, it was still shooting at 720P pixels, and it did not have night vision function. It can be said that the experience at that time was not as good as expected. This time, the high-definition shooting of Mijia Xiaobai, which reached 1080P, could really attract us? First, let's take a look at the outer package. As usual, the overall white is the main color, and the middle shows the shape of Mijia Xiaobai.

This kind of camera is mainly used for watching the house or the shop. The convenient thing is that it is not as practical as the traditional camera which must be wired. This simple connection and viewing method is more convenient, which is why many users like this kind of intelligent camera head. This time, Mijia Xiaobai's camera is quite different from what they thought, I will tell you all about the obvious improvement in both the design and functionality.

The matching of accessories is relatively simple. In addition to a manual, a data cable and a power adapter, the mobile power supply can also be used for power supply, but this is just a temporary solution. I just want to say that the mobile power supply can completely power up Mijia Xiaobai.

Mijia Xiaobai intelligent camera has a two-part appearance design, with a spherical head and a similar bracket below. The overall design is rounded, and the shell is matched with SABIC substrate. The polished mirror appearance is very fashionable. At present, only white is available. Personally, I think this white is easy to attract dirt. If I choose it, I prefer black to cover dirt, It will not be too conspicuous.

Mijia Xiaobai intelligent camera adopts the EVETAR low distortion lens, which has the advantage that the image will not be deformed, making the image more realistic. At the resolution of 1080P, high-definition shooting can also be achieved through the APP, 360 ° rotating panoramic shooting can be achieved, whether left, right or up and down, can be controlled at will, so it is really convenient to view from multiple angles. However, the left and right sliding inspection was not as flexible as expected. Occasionally, there was a jam.

There is also a round multifunction button under the spherical head. The main thing is that you can press it briefly to open the voice continuous conversation function, press it for a long time to initiate voice call, or call through APP. Because of the low voice of the speaker, this two-way call is rarely used, and you don't want to have to shout loudly every time you make a call.

It is believed that one of the most attractive functions is to support voice interaction. You can freely shout "Xiaobai looks over" to it, and it will automatically turn its head, which is very interesting. Of course, there are other voice queries, such as weather, story telling, Tang poetry telling, etc., which can be said to be a voice assistant with a camera. Speakers are provided on the left and right sides of the head respectively. This design would have been loud in terms of sound, but it was not. I was trying to make two-way calls through Xiaobai at home. What I saw was that children must be close enough to hear clearly. I hope that this can be optimized and the voice can be raised again, so that the voice is more convenient.

A factory reset button is provided below the bracket. During use, such as rebinding, you can use this button to restore factory settings. In terms of power supply mode, you can plug the matched power adapter and charging cable into the Micro USB interface for trial use. The TF card slot provided can be used to store local video, and can also store video through the connected millet route, depending on personal needs.

In terms of control and monitoring video, it must be realized through Xiaomi Smart Home APP, which can control the direction from left to right, up and down, including video recording, taking photos, calling, etc. In particular, there is also a housekeeping assistant function, which can be automatically detected after being turned on, If someone walks by or finds an abnormal situation, they will be notified in the form of a notice reminder. It is especially suitable for sleeping, so as to prevent thieves from entering our home. Next, let's take a look at the experience of the client.

The connection is very simple. Every step of the operation is accompanied with voice prompts, and the Xiaomi Smart Home APP will also automatically search for the connection of notification devices. In this way, almost most people can complete it, whether you know it or not.

After entering the main interface, you can directly see the pictures taken by the camera. The icons below are video recording, two-way calling and photographing. The movement of the selected position can be controlled through the direction keys, or you can directly slide the picture up and down from left to right. Unfortunately, the operation in the direction sometimes causes delays, However, sliding through the screen progress will not work. Recording videos and taking photos will be stored in the wonderful moments, which can be opened and viewed at will. You can also set Mijia Xiaobai through the upper right corner, which depends on your personal needs.

As mentioned earlier, the function of supporting the housekeeping assistant can be set to start automatically after it is enabled to turn on the detection notification mode, and the perspective must be selected to focus on nursing. There is no need to manually upgrade the firmware. If there is a new firmware, you will click to update it in the way of reminding. The operation and functions are relatively simple and user-friendly.

From the above three photos, it can be seen that in the day time, it is very clear in the ultra clear mode. After the infrared night vision is turned on in the evening, it is also very good. The definition of black and white is still very clear, but when the lights are turned off at night, it is not as good as expected. It feels very fuzzy. The basic face is very fuzzy in this image, This problem can only be solved by turning on the lights. The night vision still needs to be improved, which is not as good as expected.

The Mijia Xiaobai intelligent camera supports 360 ° panoramic shooting, which is really wide in angle. When the position is set, you can basically see the whole living room through the direction keys, which is worthy of praise. If it is placed in the store, it is more suitable. After all, you can see any position and corner from a panoramic view.

advantage:

1: 360 ° panoramic shooting, covering a wide range

2: 1080P HD shooting, white world

3: Voice interaction

4: APP control is relatively simple

Disadvantages:

1: The voice is not loud enough

2: Infrared night vision is not clear enough

3: Direction control, the picture is delayed

In general, there are still a lot of things that need to be improved for Mijia Xiaobai's smart camera. Although the innovation in function and configuration are fairly good, I am not really satisfied with some other design considerations. First of all, night vision is enough to deduct points for this camera. It would be good if I could achieve the evening image in night vision. Of course, there are still some features worth mentioning, such as 360 ° panoramic shooting and humanized operation, which will leave a good impression on new users when they first get started, and we hope to improve the product in the future
