For me, who has used many smart cameras, a product that combines the advantages of various brands and models has always been my goal. When I came into contact with today's Xiaoyi PTZ smart camera, I found that the product I was looking for has already appeared. What is the highlight of this camera? You will know after today's evaluation.

The outer box has changed its previous style and adopted transparent window packaging. Compared with the previous practice of printing a pattern in closed packaging, the distance between consumers and products is closer. The one with half a face behind him is Xiaobai of the Mi Family, the elder martial brother of the same school.

Of course, there are still some specific parameters and product features on the back, such as 1080P high-definition image quality, 112 degree wide angle, panoramic cruise, etc.

The accessories in the package are also quite conventional. Unlike Mijia Xiaobai, there is an additional component that can be hoisted to facilitate the installation of the camera on the wall or ceiling.

The charging cable, a conventional Android data cable, has a YI logo printed on both ends.

The charger with 1000mA output seems to save more power than Xiaobai's 2000mA output.

The wall mounted bracket can be used to lift the equipment.

Screws and expansion bolts are required for installing the upper wall bracket.

The manual is relatively simple, because all operations need to be completed using APP, so it doesn't need to be too complicated.

The overall appearance of small ants and the black appearance add a sense of mystery.

The indicator light in the front can be turned on or off through APP.

On the side, the small hole is the microphone, and the bar hole is the speaker. There is one on the left and one on the right.

The head adopts a helmet like design, which is more textured than the small white round head.

When the camera is turned off in the APP, the lens is turned upward to the inside of the helmet, which physically eliminates the possible picture leakage caused by camera exposure.

Functional area on the back of the sled, including reset key, USB interface and TF slot.

At the bottom, just like the previous ants, the product QR code is retained. The protruding part is the buckle, which is used to install the upper wall bracket.

When installing the cassette, turn the camera clockwise to lock it. It is very stable and does not need to worry about falling down.

The basic appearance can be compared with Xiaobai. Different people have different opinions about the appearance.

Then it is to log in to the mobile phone APP for binding. For Xiaomi's existing Xiaoyi series, the Xiaoyi camera APP is still used. After opening it, select the corresponding account to log in. Here I use the Xiaomi account registered earlier.

At present, the app also supports these three devices. Xiaobai can't use this device. The binding process is relatively smooth. Connect to the network and enter the password, but unfortunately, 5GWIFI is still unavailable.

The QR code used for binding was put in front of Xiao Hei for shooting authentication, and then the binding was successful.

There will be some simple operation instructions for the first use, and then the firmware will be updated inevitably.

When the network is normal, the upgrade is fast and wait for Xiaohei to restart.

In the horizontal screen mode, the top right corner will display the PTZ control switch button. After pressing the button, a virtual direction key will appear to control the PTZ. This direction key can also be dragged to the left hand side, which is convenient for left-handed people to use. In the standard definition picture quality, the picture has been very clear.

The four buttons at the bottom of the main interface correspond to different functions, namely, control interface, preset point collection, PTZ setting and alarm information viewing.

The mobile tracking is more interesting. Xiao Hei will automatically follow the moving objects in front of him and take a video to demonstrate.

The setting interface is the same as other products of Xiaoyi, and there is not much difference.

The biggest difference is that the network monitoring and distortion correction adjustment buttons are more user-friendly.

The distortion correction coefficient determines the picture effect, which can be adjusted reasonably according to different environments.

However, it is rare for the camera with its own PTZ to achieve a wide angle of 112 degrees. Generally, only the fixed lens will do this. The contrast with Xiaobai is very clear.

Xiaobai's lens angle is much smaller than Xiaohei's.

The night vision effect, the two are on a par.

Xiaobai's picture is slightly darker.

After a few days of use, Xiaohei is completely superior to Xiaobai in terms of hardware and operability, such as the 112 degree wide-angle lens, motion tracking, automatic cruise, virtual direction keys, etc., which Xiaobai does not have. If I have to say that Xiaohei has any shortcomings, I only see one at present, that is, the voice is loud when the PTZ rotates, However, in general, the PTZ rarely moves, so this disadvantage is ignored. As far as the six smart cameras I have used so far, Xiaohei's functions are the most perfect. For those who purchase smart cameras for the first time, Xiaohei is a good choice.
