Introduction

With the continuous development and progress of science and technology, the new concept of smart home constantly affects people's quality of life; More and more intelligent products are emerging in the market. As an important product in the field of home security, intelligent camera has become the preferred product for millions of households after rapid development and update in the past two years. Compared with ordinary security cameras, it is more compact, flexible, intelligent, and easier to use.

The smart camera shown by Xiaomi Ecological Chain Enterprise Chuangmi Technology today is a product dedicated to building smart home and security monitoring. It not only has 720P image quality, but also supports smart connection and two-way voice call functions of mobile phones; In addition, it also integrates many high-tech elements, such as intelligent alarm and anti-theft, high-definition night vision, two-way rotating motor PTZ, to create an intelligent, safe, warm and comfortable home for you. Take a nap and experience this product closely.

Beautiful unpacking

First of all, I would like to thank the use opportunities given by Joji and the products provided by Chuangmi Technology; Mijia smart camera is wrapped in an environmentally friendly paper pulp box. The front of the box is printed with the shape of the camera, the streamlined body and the lovely appearance. At first glance, it looks very stylish; The back of the box is pasted with the basic parameter configuration of the intelligent camera, so that everyone can have a preliminary understanding of the product.

Can't wait to open the packaging box, you can see this Mijia intelligent camera. The white body plus the black camera, the classic color matching makes it more dazzling; The first feeling for the nap is still attracted by its shape. The simple outline of the body, without any extra buttons. The upper and lower split structure is like a cute robot, which highlights the cute face.

In addition to the camera body, the accessories also include the product instruction manual, installation backplane, power adapter and USB cable. The drawback is that the product itself does not have a Micro SD card, and users need to purchase it separately. The user manual of the product contains a detailed summary of the camera's structure, function and intelligent control instructions for your reference. I suggest you read it carefully before use to avoid the trouble of wrong operation.

The front and back display of Mijia's smart camera shows that this product continues the simple design style of Mijia brand. The overall white body with black lens module looks very textured. The study, bedroom or living room placed at home can be well integrated into the smart home elements. In terms of function, the biggest feature of this camera is that it is equipped with a two-way motor pan tilt, which can realize free rotation up, down, left and right. The horizontal viewing angle of the camera is 360 °, and the vertical viewing angle can reach 115 °. In a real sense, it can minimize the dead angle of shooting and realize panoramic monitoring.

I believe that when you buy a favorite camera product, you will not only pay attention to its appearance, but also consider its basic performance parameters. Take a nap to summarize the basic parameters of this Mijia intelligent camera as follows, so that you can better understand it.

Grab the details

A good smart camera should not only have a beautiful appearance, but also its operation and performance experience. As the saying goes, details can be found in the real chapter, and every industry has its own unique performance. For Mijia's smart camera, the hardware determines the hard strength of a product, the appearance design is not beautiful, and whether the highlights are outstanding determines whether consumers have an impulse to buy at a glance. Next, let's take a closer look at the details of this product.

First of all, professional optical lens is used in the lens part. The 2.8mm focal length can provide a wide angle of 100.4 degrees. With the two-way rotating motor pan tilt, it can achieve a shooting range of 360 degrees horizontally and 115 degrees vertically. Realistically, the 720P resolution is not high, and the picture quality is not clear enough, but it is also sufficient for the application in home security, baby care, pet interaction and other scene environments. After all, the price of 199 yuan limits the hardware configuration. There is an LED working status indicator above the lens, and the user can judge the connection and working status of the camera according to its color change.

Below the lens is the position of the Micro SD memory card and microphone input hole. The smart camera inserted with the memory card can support video recording, playback, viewing and other functions; It is noted in the manual that 32GB memory card is supported at most. However, 64GB memory card can also be used normally when taking a nap. So far, no abnormality has been found. The integrated body is cleverly designed to hide the SD card inside, which makes the visual effect look more beautiful.

Two rotating motor PTZ are built in the upper and lower parts of the camera, which can rotate freely from top to bottom, left to right, so as to realize omni-directional monitoring from top to bottom, left to right, and solve the problem of dead angle monitoring. At the same time, the motor adopts the silent gear running in design, which ensures the rotation speed while making the lens rotate silently, giving family a safe sleep. Unfortunately, the single step rotation angle of the motor is not very precise. This will be shown in the video below.

The bottom of the camera is the USB power interface and the RESET button, which is the only button on the body. It can reset the camera. There is no special design for the power interface, which is the same as the interface of ordinary mobile phones, but it also realizes the common use of data lines with similar interface devices.

There are many speaker holes densely distributed on the back of the camera, which can clearly transmit sound. Combined with the microphone input hole in front, the function of remote two-way voice with mobile phones is realized. At the same time, many cooling holes are added around the camera, which effectively reduces the temperature during the working process of the camera.

There are also 10 940 nm infrared fill lights around the lens of Mijia smart camera, which can automatically perceive the brightness of the surrounding environment and start the night vision effect. And in the night vision mode, the infrared fill light is not particularly bright, which will not affect the sleep situation.

Another highlight of the product is the bayonet installation design of the base part, which can be easily installed to the side or top of the wall according to the user's own needs, to maximize the monitoring perspective.

Insolation characteristic

Mijia smart camera can realize remote voice conversation, video recording, intelligent alarm push and control the rotation of motor pan tilt by connecting to smart phone. Whether you are going out to play or work, you can always keep track of what happens at home; For most of the smart camera products on the market at present, voice call and mobile detection and video recording functions are necessary for the products. This time, I would like to introduce the highlight of Mijia's smart camera: two-way rotating motor PTZ.

The left and right rotating motor pan tilt can form a horizontal 360 degree shooting angle, which is controlled by the mobile phone. There are two control modes: inching and continuous rotation. This greatly increases the use environment and purpose of the intelligent camera. For example, the camera is used to monitor the pets in the home. With the rotation of the motor head, you no longer need to worry about the small animals leaving the home for a long time. In addition, the sound of the motor during rotation is minimal, and if it is used to care for the baby at home, it will not affect the rest.

Similarly, in the vertical direction, the motor pan tilt of Mijia smart camera can also rotate and provide a 115 degree vertical angle of view. It can be said that the rotation in both directions basically covers the area to be shot by the camera, and the mobile phone control mode is relatively simple. The only regret is that the precision of the motor rotation angle is not very high. Even if the single step rotation is selected, the rotation angle is still relatively large, and the manufacturer is expected to make further improvements.

In addition to superior performance, simple control is also very necessary for any intelligent electronic product. For Mijia intelligent camera, it does not need complex settings, but can be used in three simple steps; Just download the Mijia APP, connect the Mijia smart camera PTZ version to the power supply, and finally open the APP for pairing. In addition, Mijia's smart camera PTZ version supports local TF card storage, public cloud storage, and private cloud storage for users to choose from. Privacy protection is also in place. Let's take a look at the use of APP.

Continuous APP

First, download and install the software by using the QR code in the instruction manual or searching the "Mijia" app in the app store. After the installation is completed, power on the camera, and the status indicator of the camera flashes orange after power on. Users can click Add Device in the app to bind; The whole binding process is prompted with detailed steps. The user can reset, enter the WiFi password and scan the QR code according to the prompts to complete the binding operation.

After the connection is successful, the picture in front of the camera lens can be displayed on the mobile phone screen. It can be seen that the layout of the entire software is simple and reasonable. The circular part in the middle is used to control the rotation of the motor pan tilt. The function keys in the upper and lower areas can be used for intercom, photographing, recording, setting, definition selection and other functional operations.

In the Nursing Assistant option, the user can set the nursing time of the camera and the angle range of the picture. Once the camera detects an abnormal situation, it will record 10 seconds of video in real time and send an alarm to the mobile phone. In order to make it easy for people to keep abreast of the developments in their homes at any time, Mijia's smart camera PTZ version also supports pushing alarm videos to WeChat, saving evidence in time, and protecting the security of their homes.

In addition to normal operations, the camera APP supports desktop suspended video window monitoring, which means that the monitoring image can be displayed all the time even when using other mobile applications, avoiding the trouble of re running the APP every time, and is more suitable for home care with babies. It's a pity that this feature only supports Android phones at present, and iOS does not support it at present.

In the setting interface, you can set the camera status light on/off, infrared night vision, sleep, alarm sensitivity, memory card and other functions in detail. You can set them according to your actual use needs.

Babysitting

As the saying goes, life must experience major events, such as getting married, buying a house, having children... This life can be regarded as happiness. Last year, he became a father as he wished. He named his baby daughter Duoduo, which means that she is healthy and blessed. Since the arrival of my baby, I always miss her a lot when I go to work every day. I wonder if she is sucking, sleeping or being naughty; Since the Mijia smart camera, you can just take out your mobile phone to see your baby at any time of the day. In the video at the beginning of the article, you can intuitively feel the rotation of the camera, video recording and sound quality effects.

For napping, the most important thing of this Mijia smart camera is to take care of the baby. Even though she always wants to turn on her mobile phone to take a look at her every day when she works hard and is free, she can record every time she laughs, cries and looks innocent. In addition to watching the recorded video, the voice call of the camera is also very convenient. Although Xiaoduoduo can't speak yet, I believe she will be able to call her father to the camera in a few months.

In addition to watching the baby, it can also help the daughter-in-law take care of the baby remotely. For example, when the daughter-in-law goes to the bathroom to wash clothes and the baby plays on the bed, she can take a nap through the camera to see whether she has rolled over her little hand or cried, and then tell the daughter-in-law by phone.

Finally, we will show you two authentic pictures taken by Michaelis Smart Camera. One is a high-definition picture taken in normal mode, and the other is taken with night vision effect. After the picture is magnified, we can see that the definition of the picture is not very high, but it can also be used in daily life; Compared with night vision, it is very good in terms of definition and picture range.

summary

I believe that there will be some people wondering "Is this camera without shortcomings?" Of course, there are some problems, such as the low definition of the 720 resolution picture and the low rotation accuracy of the motor pan tilt. We can't expect how perfect the Mijia intelligent camera is, but it is indeed much more outstanding than many similar products in the market in terms of price and function. The R&D personnel of Chuangmi Technology are also constantly making efforts to improve, and we believe that each generation and each camera will be better and better in the future.

On the whole, this intelligent camera product has a good performance in appearance design and appearance, and as a member of intelligent home life, it seems to be of high grade. In terms of performance, it also integrates many practical functions such as intelligent alarm and anti-theft, high-definition night vision, two-way rotating motor PTZ, etc; The most important thing is the price of 199 yuan.
