Since I had a child, I understand how it feels to have a little person in my heart. I really want to be with her every moment, watching her smile, watching her cry, watching her stand up with my hands shaking, watching her fall asleep in my arms. But as an office worker, I didn't have time to take care of her, so I had to entrust her to my grandparents. Every weekend, I only had a short meeting. To make up for the regret that I didn't see children at ordinary times, I chose to install an intelligent camera at home, so today's evaluation is coming.

For the outer packaging, people who have used ants should see that the packaging styles of the two are relatively similar, with product pictures printed on the front and brand logo on the side, but Xiaobai uses hard paper boxes with sharp edges and corners, which also improves the product grade to a certain extent.

The product parameters on the back, in the small print at the bottom, have been connected to the Xiaomi Smart Home. In fact, this app has been renamed Mijia.

The inner packaging is very simple. Xiaobai is firmly fixed in the middle of the box by polyurethane foam to ensure safety during transportation. The small box at the bottom is equipped with power adapter and power line.

There is also a manual, which is so simple. Since Xiaobai cannot carry out lifting, there are no relevant accessories.

The power adapter has the same size and parameters as my Xiaoant Generation 1. It has 100-240V wide voltage input, 5V2A output and USB port on the top. If it can be designed on the side, it will be more convenient to use. When using the wall socket, there will be fewer protruding parts and it will be safer.

The power supply line is relatively sturdy. After measuring, it is about 2 meters long. For a desktop smart camera, this length is a bit awkward. If it can be 1 meter longer, wiring will be more convenient.

The main body of Xiaobai consists of two parts, the round lens in the upper part, and the official propaganda is 360 ° panoramic video and 85 ° vertical absolute angle of view, which is reflected in actual use. What looks like a small light below the lens is actually a light sensor. When the ambient light is insufficient, the camera will turn on the infrared light to switch to night vision mode.

Loudspeakers are set on both sides of the lens, so the sound is loud, and there is no case of unclear hearing.

In the lower part, namely the base, there is a button and indicator light with Mijia logo on the front. There are two functions of the button. A short press can open the voice continuous conversation function, and a long press can start a voice call.

There are RESET key, power line interface and TF card slot on the back. As a smart camera, the local video recording function is essential. As a storage medium, TF card is better to choose a product with faster reading speed.

At the bottom of the base, a ring of rubber pad can ensure the stability of Xiaobai when it is placed, and the product QR code is printed in the middle. According to previous experience, it is needed when binding APP, but it is not actually

This is the appearance of the camera. It may not be big when it is placed on the table. Take it in your hand and look at it. I think it's great that the camera with the head can achieve this size.

Next is the binding of mobile phone APP. The process is relatively smooth. Power on the camera, the indicator light flashes, turn on the Mijia APP, and operate step by step according to the prompts. During this time, the camera will have voice prompts, which is more user-friendly, but the volume is not adjustable. It's really scary to shout out suddenly.

The specific operation is to open the APP, click the plus sign in the upper right corner, add a device, and select Mijia Xiaobai. Of course, the camera needs to be powered on at this time, and the indicator light is flashing.

Enter the wireless network password at home, put the QR code on the screen in front of the camera lens for scanning code confirmation, wait for the progress bar to finish, and then the connection is completed. But there is a bug here, and the pictures and names after adding are actually Xiaoyi intelligent cameras. After exiting and re entering, they will return to normal.

After connecting to the network, the system prompts you to upgrade the firmware. The firmware number should be August. According to Xiaobai's voice prompt, it takes minutes to complete the upgrade.

After the upgrade was completed, there was a prompt that the firmware needed to be upgraded again. This time it was the firmware in September. OK, let's continue to upgrade. But the relentless bug reappeared. Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, my home network was not very good. The upgrade failed, and then the screen was blurred again. It's not just a bad thing. But fortunately, everything is normal after reopening the APP.

In fact, there are few things that can be moved in Xiaobai's settings, so the whole use is relatively simple. Don't bother to think about too complex things, simple and practical. Because the TF card used in other cameras before is used, the 32G card shows 30. 52G, not bad.

There are few buttons on the main interface. Several are commonly used, such as video recording, calling and screenshots. The four-dimensional direction button in the middle is used to adjust the rotation of the camera lens. During the adjustment process, there are two types: inching and long pressing. If you inching, the rotation angle is smaller. If you press long, the mirror head rotates in segments. After 360 ° horizontal rotation, you need to press long for five times, plus one time of the initial position, That is to say, each long press turns about 60 °. Vertical rotation also requires 5 long presses to complete the 85 ° angle span. The lens is very powerful for the performance of near objects. You can clearly see the words on the bottle. For the characters, I think the performance is also very good. My baby's face can be seen clearly, and the pictures can be shared to WeChat at any time.

Xiaobai needs to reset before reconnecting after changing the network environment. The connection mode here is different from that of the first time. Smart cameras have been developed for several generations, but they still do not support 5G wifi networks as at the beginning, so only 2 can be selected. 4G, but the hot spot signal of the camera needs to be connected. After the connection, the display is finally normal.

If the display effect is good, let's compare it with the second generation of Xiaoyi intelligent camera at the same price. First, look at the ants. They use a wide-angle lens. If they are placed in the corner, the perspective can basically cover the opposite two walls. There is a time stamp in the upper left corner, which is more intuitive. The lower left corner is marked with YI.

The picture of Xiaobai is more sharp than that of Xiao'an. The whole picture does not have any time stamp or brand logo. When the viewing angle is fixed, it is a little smaller than Xiaobai, but Xiaobai can have a 360 ° panoramic view. In this light, the camera with a fixed lens can not compare with Xiaobai.

In case of video screenshots, there is time to display in the lower left corner, which is a strange setting.

In the night vision mode, the difference is more obvious. It seems that the picture of the ant is not enough infrared light, and it can't be seen at a distance. In Xiaobai's case, the door and cabinet in the distance can be clearly seen.

Can you see the model of the three smart cameras working at night?

For an intelligent camera with its own PTZ, the first thing is to look good. After all, in the home environment, appearance is very important, and the second is ease of use. Today's intelligent products are all about easy to use. If it is too complicated, I think few people are willing to try and buy it. Finally, it is the practicality of the product. Only after using it can we know whether something is good or not, After several days of use, Mijia Xiaobai is more in line with my requirements for intelligent cameras. It has its own PTZ and high-definition lens, which are compact and flexible. Of course, there are some areas that need improvement, such as voice prompts. The original intention should be to increase human-computer interaction, but the settings that cannot be turned off or adjusted in actual use are not acceptable to everyone.
