Xiaoyi's first generation camera has been used at home all the time. My parents also have one, which is different from others' casual purchase and play. The reason why I choose Xiaoyi's product is that Xiaoyi and Xiaomi's smart home app have good connectivity. The usage scenarios of my current Little Ant camera are as follows:

My family and my parents bought Xiaoyi camera and Xiaomi router together. My parents' TV is Xiaomi TV, and I use Xiaomi box+TV. The built-in system of Xiaomi TV and Xiaomi Box also includes the application of Xiaomi camera, so when I want to see my parents or my parents want to see my home, I can directly access the Xiaomi camera interface without using my mobile phone by turning on the TV. If both parties turn on the TV and enter the camera, it is OK to speak directly into the TV without sending voice through the phone button. The function of TV two-way video chat is easily realized through Xiaoyi camera+Xiaomi routing+Xiaomi TV box!

Therefore, I personally like Xiaoyi's product. Today, I was lucky to get the Xiaoyi 1080P intelligent camera of the crowd testing platform, which is more high-definition than the original first generation Xiaoyi camera, and has added some new functions. I'm very happy to share this experience evaluation with you here. Let's begin.

The Xiaoyi 1080P smart camera in this experience is not the second generation of Xiaoyi 1080P smart camera, and non Xiaoyi users may confuse it. The price of Xiaoyi 1080P intelligent camera 2nd generation is 399 yuan, and it has a human shape surveillance HD camera; The product of this experience is Xiaoyi 1080P intelligent camera, which costs 169 yuan. In addition to being more high-definition than the original Xiaoyi camera, it also adds rich functions such as "baby cry detection", "deformity correction", "cloud storage", etc.

The camera is covered with a protective film when it leaves the factory. Remember to tear it off before use. The product includes a 1080P camera, power supply, data cable, instructions, etc.

Each Xiaoyi smart camera has a special QR code printed on the back, which is convenient for users to scan the QR code directly when connecting with mobile apps. There is also a Reset button on the upper left corner of the back. When changing the network, you can reset and reconnect. TF card is not included in the standard configuration of the product, so you also need to purchase a TF card for Xiaoyi intelligent camera to record and save.

In order to facilitate the placement at any position in the home, a ring of anti-skid rubber pad is designed at the bottom of the camera to avoid lens offset due to the smooth desktop, which affects the monitoring vision.

In 2016, it can be said that Type-C is the world of mobile phones. Almost all new mobile phones use the Type-C interface, but for peripheral smart digital products, it seems that Micro USB is still used. Of course, Xiaoyi has provided data cables for everyone as standard. Even if not, it doesn't matter. The author has a lot of Type-C 2-in-1 data lines in reserve, which can also be used.

After the power is connected for the first time, the yellow light of Xiaoyi intelligent camera turns on, flashing means waiting for WiFi connection. According to the past habit, the author tried to use Mijia App to connect, and found that it was impossible to bind. After asking the manufacturer's personnel, we learned that Xiaoyi 1080P smart camera only supports Xiaoyi camera app at present, and the butt joint of Mijia App has not been completely completed, but it should be able to be combined after the New Year.

Xiaoant's own app can be used to connect successfully. After WiFi access, the product indicator is blue; If there is a firmware upgrade, the indicator will turn yellow and flash slowly, and it will return to blue after the upgrade is successful.

The app client of Xiaoyi camera is simple and intuitive. On the main interface, we can see all the cameras we have connected. Each camera can be named separately in the settings, and "intelligent detection alarm", "mobile detection video", etc. can be enabled. Xiaoyi 1080P intelligent camera also supports cloud storage.

Compared with the first generation of small ant camera, the 1080P intelligent camera has more functions, including traditional status light switch, image flip and other functions. In addition, "call mode setting" and "baby crying detection" are also added. In the past, the small ant camera can only use the intercom mode, that is, when you are talking, the other person cannot speak. The other person can continue only after you release the intercom channel; The 1080P smart camera adds a "phone mode". In this mode, we can talk to each other at the same time as a mobile phone, and we can also hear the voice of the other side while talking. As for the "baby crying detection", since the children at home have already gone to primary school, they can't choke and cry. Haha, this function should be tested by parents who have babies at home.

If you are using the hard disk version of Xiaomi Route, Xiaoyi 1080P smart camera also supports synchronization to the router. If you are not using the hard disk version of Xiaomi Route, don't worry. Xiaoyi 1080P smart camera supports cloud storage. 15 days of rolling cloud recording costs 15 yuan per month. If you need it, you can try cloud storage, However, there should be some requirements for the upload speed of broadband at home. The larger the upload bandwidth, the faster the cloud storage.

It was mentioned at the beginning of the article that the first generation camera of Xiaoyi is currently used by the author and his parents. By comparison, we can see that the appearance of Xiaoyi 1080P intelligent camera is almost the same as that of the first generation camera, except that the word "1080P" is added below the "YI" logo. So how much has the 1080P improved in clarity? After reading the following comparison, you will fully understand.

In order to facilitate the test, the camera comparison of the small ant family is selected in their own home, so as to facilitate the comparison back and forth.

At the same position, we can see that the white balance of 1080P is restored very accurately, and the first generation of ants is always in a cold state, and it is not clear enough after amplification. From the comparison pictures above and below, we can see that the definition of Xiaoyi 1080P intelligent camera is much better than that of the first generation. Double click the mobile phone monitoring screen, you can see the monitoring vision of the current two cameras. This is the first generation camera that has the advantage. According to personal analysis, it is probably because Xiaoant 1080P has made good deformation correction (it can be seen from the comparison diagram that there is no obvious distortion on both sides of the right monitoring screen, while the distortion on both sides of the left monitoring screen is serious), The visual field may be affected after deformity correction.

The author bought the first generation Xiaoant camera when it first came out, so it was still the version without night vision function, which is just a comparison of night vision function. After watching this group of pictures, the author cannot help feeling that the night vision function is really powerful. After all the lights in the room are turned off, Xiaoant 1080P intelligent camera can clearly see various scenes. Notice that on the TV screen, there is a reflection similar to the light. Is it the reflection of infrared light? It's amazing.

Similarly, double click the phone screen to zoom in and view the details. In the lens of the first generation camera of Little Ant, the author took the bright light from the mobile phone in his hand and beat his face white; The 1080P intelligent camera shows all the details well, including the characters, the floor, the scooter, and the TV. Even the glasses worn by the writer can see that there is really no one.

Through the above trial experience, we believe that you have a deep understanding of Xiaoant 1080P intelligent camera. The price of the night vision version of the previous generation product was 149 yuan, while the 1080P version was only 20 yuan more expensive. The price of 169 yuan added four functions, including "call mode", "baby cry detection", "deformity correction", and "cloud storage". I personally felt that it was worth it. At least for these two products, I will definitely buy 169 instead of 149. Of course, Xiaoyi 1080P smart camera, which costs 169 yuan, has not yet been connected with "Mijia" App. However, this seems to be no problem for Xiaoyi and Mijia App. Maybe we can get through after the New Year.

In short, I personally highly recommend this product. I will continue to use the previous generation before the Mijia App gets through. Once the Mijia App can be bound, hey hey, there is no doubt that 1080P will be used!
