Users can use the bracket to realize wall mounting or ceiling installation, so that Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera can be placed in a variety of ways and achieve more comprehensive monitoring of angles and directions. Since Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera has its own PTZ, and its volume and weight are larger and heavier than those of ordinary security cameras, the manufacturer has not designed a magnetic base on the fuselage base, mainly for safety reasons.

▲ Multi angle appreciation of Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera. From the appearance, Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera is very avant-garde and fashionable, with the main color of black to show more atmosphere, but the piano paint type black transparent lens mask is particularly easy to absorb dust and leave marks.

·Usage·

Nowadays, all kinds of intelligent cameras can better exert the intelligent advantages of intelligent products only if the APP is linked with intelligent devices. Users can download and install the app software dedicated to Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera through QR code scanning or app store. Before initial use, users need to register an account through their mobile phones to complete their login. At the same time, APP provides Xiaomi account login.

In the equipment added by the user, the network connection operation will be entered. Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera is equipped with 2.4GWiFi, and the user can complete the network connection only by performing each step of operation according to the APP prompts, Ensure that the device is successfully added.

When the camera is added and the network connection is set, it will jump to the main operation interface of Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera APP. The APP is divided into four sections, namely Xiaoyi, Message, Album and My. On Xiaoyi's home page, users can enter the camera video monitoring interface for viewing; The message interface will update the latest monitoring alarm and other information in real time; The photo album section is the display area for capturing photos and video recording of ants; There are more detailed functions and setting operations in my section, which will not be introduced here. It is worth mentioning that after several improvements and upgrades, Xiaoant APP has added the function of live broadcast room, Here, users can share the live video function of the camera installed by themselves to their friends and relatives, and can also enter the live broadcast room to watch other users' live sharing, so that everyone can feel the charm of live broadcast.

The setting function menu of Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera APP is very rich, which also reflects the intention of the professional team.

The alarm function on the APP end of the security camera is one of the most practical functions of each camera. When the camera alarm function is turned on, if there are moving objects in the video monitoring area, Xiaoant APP will alarm through the push function. After the user clicks the alarm information, it will jump to the APP to facilitate the user to view the alarm video and other information.
In the Android 6.0 system, the alarm function of Xiaoyi is sometimes unavailable. I hope the manufacturer can update and improve it in a timely manner.

However, users using Xiaoant should not worry too much about whether the APP is pushed normally, because Xiaoant APP has joined“ WeChat receives alarm messages ”Function. The addition of this function is more convenient for ants. No matter whether the APP works normally or not, when the camera detects movement detection, it can send an alarm through the bound micro signal, so that users will not miss any suspicious information, adding another weight to security monitoring.

Xiaoant APP supports adding multiple cameras for management and separate setting operation under the same account. When the camera end and APP end are correctly connected to the network, users can view the monitoring image of any camera at will after entering the APP interface. The video loading speed depends on the network speed. The writer uses mobile phone network, home WiFi and company WiFi for testing, Xiaoyi has made great efforts to optimize the video monitoring loading on the APP side. No matter in the 4G network environment or 3G network environment, video monitoring images can be viewed smoothly through the wireless side.

Under the live broadcast menu interface of the video monitoring screen, the user can turn on the mobile tracking and camera cruise functions through the setting buttons on Xiaoyi APP. These two functions are unique bonus items on the PTZ camera, which can not only achieve more perspectives and unlimited field monitoring, but also make Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera a real security guard through setting, After setting the cruise time and mode, Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera will search everywhere with vigilant eyes all the time, bringing all-round security protection to users' homes and companies.

The panoramic view interface under the live broadcast mode of Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera is displayed. The user can call up the steering wheel through the button on the upper right corner of the APP interface to freely operate the camera to rotate and view pictures in different directions.

When the user turns on the mobile tracking function, if there are any moving objects within the scope of video monitoring, the camera will immediately turn on the mobile tracking function to shoot the moving objects in real time. This function is a killer weapon for the camera without PTZ, which can completely defeat any opponent. When the camera head has PTZ, it can give full play to the monitoring without dead corners.

Xiaoant 1080P PTZ camera starts the live demonstration after moving tracking. When a moving object is detected by Xiaoant 1080P PTZ camera, the camera will track the moving object for full video monitoring and record the image.

The author has two small ant PTZ cameras, one 720P and one 1080P. At first, the author simply thought that, The 1080P model only adds high resolution, while the others are the same as the 720P model. However, in the actual test, the author found that the 1080P model added more design and improvement in details than just a higher resolution. Here we introduce the unique panoramic function of the 1080P camera, Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera will automatically shoot 360 ° rotation, and then save a complete 360 ° photo image.

For the 360 ° expressed by Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera, it is a combination of the transverse rotation of PTZ+the longitudinal rotation of the camera. The longitudinal rotation of the camera can only reach an angle greater than about 90 °, but this combination of transverse and longitudinal rotation can achieve a monitoring range without dead angles in all aspects. The above figure shows the maximum vertical (upper, middle and lower) angle of Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera.

Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera supports three video (picture) storage modes: Micro SD card (4-32GB) Xiaomi Router and Alibaba Cloud, the author focuses on TF card testing this time. In actual use, in the high-speed network environment, the look back function of Xiaoant APP is very useful. Through recording and looking back, users can provide more accurate security data and information, which is the most convenient and fast to store in the TF card. But if someone damages it, take away the camera and TF card together, There is no place to search the video data; The video data on the existing router and the cloud should be relatively secure, especially on the cloud. The storage security can't be said, but users need to pay for services. Here, the author will not make too many comparisons. Different people have different opinions on this issue, and it is natural to know about it in use.

Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera will automatically turn on the infrared mode at night, and uses special infrared lights. There is no red storm phenomenon, which not only has good night vision effect, but also does not affect the user's sleep. The above figure shows the screenshot comparison of Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera with lights on and off. It can be seen that the effect in infrared mode is very good. The environment in the monitored area after the lights are turned off is basically the same as when the lights are turned on. The night vision function is sufficient to meet the needs of daily users.

The above picture shows the real-time captured picture of Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera video surveillance. Although the picture size is compressed, the clear effect of Xiaoyi 1080P video can still be seen.

Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera is equipped with 1080P high-definition camera. Users can set automatic, high-definition and standard definition video viewing modes through Xiaoyi APP. When the network environment is excellent and the network speed is fast, the high-definition performance is enough to applaud. 1080P can show more details and provide users with a higher image quality display. After comparing with the 720P model in actual application, The 1080P monitoring image quality is perfect. The clearer image quality provides users with a better use experience, and can also show more details. For users with special needs for image quality, the author strongly recommends buying Xiaoyi 1080P PTZ camera.
