by mitch002
With the development of smart homes, many smart products have entered our homes, and smart cameras as home security are also in full swing. Recently, a new product, Xiaofang 360 Panoramic IP Camera (double camera version), was launched by Xiaohua Ecological Chain Company Tianjin Hualai Technology. This time, I was lucky to have experienced this 360° panoramic dual-camera smart camera.Let's take a look at how this smart camera is.
Before receiving the product, I did not think that Xiaofang 360 smart camera could be made so small since the Mijia 360 Panoramic Camera is a little bigger than this one plus its way smaller than Dafang 360 Camera which is only single lens plus it rotates 360 degrees. Its packaging is quite similar to the Xiaofang ordinary IP Camera. As written in the product information, the Hualai dual camera model is: QF3; the power supply uses 5V 2A input.
Unboxing
Open the package, first a paper box, then the following is the Xiaofang 360 dual camera. Xiaofang 360 Camera adopts a rigid cardboard skeleton inner packaging, which can effectively protect the safety of the host during transportation. The power adapter and power cable are placed in the paper tray. The entire packaging design is very properly packed.
Whats in the box: smart camera, power adapter, power cable and instruction manual.
The appearance of Xiaofang 360 Camera is like two bricks lapped together, the body size is 36 × 36 × 100mm. Equipped with two F2.0 apertures and a 2 megapixel wide-angle dual camera, the camera looks like a human eye. This bionic appearance gives the camera a 360° panoramic view without moving the camera. It has also been mentioned that the input power supply of Hualai Double Camera is 5V 2A. The appearance of the power supply is very similar to that of the Redmi 5A.
On the front of the camera, in addition to the lens, there is a light sensor and a microphone hole in the middle; a sound hole on the back and a power connector and a hidden indicator light near the bottom. The side of the camera is finished with high-gloss, and the front and back are frosted. The overall design is square-shaped. After some lines, the appearance is more dexterous and unconstrained.
At the bottom of the camera, in addition to the reset button and MicroSD card slot, a standard 1/4-inch pan/tilt interface is also provided, which can be easily connected to a tripod for more functions. A miniature tripod can also be used to solve the dead angle caused by the blockage of the table when placed on the table top. Anti-slip strips are also placed on both sides of the bottom of the Xiaofang 360 camera. Even if placed on a smooth table, there is no shaking and it can prevent scratches caused by friction with the table top.
Before using, you must first connect to the Mi Home App. The addition of products is basically the same as other smart products of Xiaomi. First connect the power supply of the camera, wait until the indicator light flashes yellow; at this time, press and hold the reset button at the bottom of the fuselage, when you hear the waiting voice prompt. Open the phone app and follow the prompts to add it successfully. After the addition is successful, you should pay attention to setting the name of the device and the location of the room to be placed, which is convenient for later management.
After the addition is completed, it may be used normally. You can click to enter the screen immediately; in the later use, you can find the corresponding camera in the device list and click to enter the screen. The default screen of Xiaofang 360 Camera is two large and one small windows. You can click the small window below to switch the screen. You can slide the screen arbitrarily on the screen to control the horizontal or vertical rotation of the screen.
Xiaofang 360 has three 850 nm high-infrared infrared light groups, and the visible distance in night vision mode reaches 5 meters. By default, Xiaofang 360 Camera automatically switches according to the ambient light, or you can manually adjust it by clicking the night vision button in the upper right corner of the screen. When using it, pay attention to the position of the Xiaofang 360 camera, preferably in the middle of the room, or place the key monitoring object within the effective range of night vision.
Xiaofang 360 Camera also supports a variety of picture modes, in addition to picture-in-picture, you can also enter full-screen mode. In full screen mode, you can switch between multi-screen, panorama and quad-screen. In the panoramic mode, you can open the gyroscope in the upper right corner. At this time, you can watch the corresponding orientation screen by turning the mobile phone arbitrarily, and realize automatic follow-up. With VR eyes, you can give you the feeling of being there. For the quad-screen mode, you can view four real-time windows in a non-circumferential orientation at the same time, just like monitoring the functions of four cameras at the same time.
In the picture transition of Xiaofang 360 camera dual lens, it can be seen that the transition effect is ideal in the above use. However, for a close-up picture, there will be a loss of picture transition.
The dual-lens has a wide angle of 210°, and the positions of the two lenses are limited by a certain distance, so that the dead zone caused by too close distance. However, in normal use, we are more monitoring the situation around the room, so this dead zone is still acceptable.
In terms of picture quality, it is somewhat unsatisfactory, but for the price of 199 yuan, it is still very exciting. Especially for the use of Xiaomi's other smart products in the home, it can realize the interconnection and interaction, and can automatically record the emergency video to the mobile phone, bringing a more intelligent experience to the home security.
