The small ant smart camera is a smart home new product released by Xiaomi Company on October 27, 2014. The price of 149 yuan is very affordable, so it has achieved a good sales performance. However, the small ant smart camera only supports 720P video surveillance, but also does not have cloud storage capabilities, leaving many users regret. More than one year later, Xiaomi Company finally launched the upgrade of the small ant smart camera - the small ant smart camera 2, which in addition to achieving 1080P Full HD picture quality and support for cloud storage, also has a lot of more practical Monitoring function. Next, let's take a look at all aspects of this product.
The small ant smart camera 2 is packaged in a sleek white box. The front surface is printed with pictures of the actual machine. It looks similar to the appearance of the small ant smart camera. Through the word “Hone Camera 2†in the upper left corner, you can quickly judge this is a generation. The product is still a second generation product.
With a product-related information label on the back of the box, we can quickly understand the main hardware configuration and function design of the small ant smart camera 2. A generation of small ant smart cameras are also divided into a standard version and a night vision version, but when it comes to small ant smart cameras 2, there is no such distinction. Infrared night vision has become a basic function. In addition, the 130° wide-angle lens of the small ant smart camera 2 is also wider than the 111° wide-angle lens of the small ant smart camera.
Open the box, cameras and accessories in an orderly manner. The small ant smart camera 2's random accessories include the power adapter, USB power data cable, manual with three packs of voucher, and 3M adhesive. By using 3M glue, the small ant smart camera 2 can be more easily fixed in the position where it is desired to be installed.
In terms of appearance design, from a positive perspective, the two generations of small ant smart cameras are very similar. The small ant smart camera 2 still uses white and black color matching, and the overall styling is very good for Xiaomei’s product “descentâ€, giving a simple and beautiful appearance. impression.
In order to obtain even better 1080P full HD picture, the small ant smart camera 2 adopts Panasonic professional security level image sensor, CMOS size up to 1/2.8 inch. We know that the picture should have richer details and colors. The big bottom is the key. Now many home-grade digital cameras on the market use sensors with a size of 1/2.3 inch. The small ant smart camera 2 is already close to this standard. So it's still more awesome.
Compared with the generation of small ant smart cameras, the infrared night vision light beads of the small ant smart camera 2 have been increased from 8 to 11 and the night vision screen has become clearer in a no-light source environment.
Below the lens of the small ant smart camera 2, there is a 360-degree CD-level ring microphone. The small ant smart camera 2 has a two-way voice function, which facilitates the user's and family's voice communication. After testing, the call effect of this ring microphone is quite good, and the sound is relatively clear and real.
Looking from the back, the appearance of the small ant smart camera 2 is obviously different from the generation of the small ant smart camera. It looks more rounded and white. The pure white tone looks more fresh and lovely. It is a generation of small ant intelligence. The camera must be beautiful .
The back cover of the small ant smart camera 2 has a detachable design, but this opening is a bit small, and it is a bit difficult to open the back shell.
After opening the back shell, we can find the TF card slot and reset hole.
The small ant smart camera 2 supports a maximum 32GB Micro SD memory card. It is understood that the retail price of the small ant smart camera 2 is 499 yuan, including a one-year cloud storage service, users can experience it first, and other cloud storage services expire. Then decide whether to continue. However, I personally feel that it is not bad money, or open cloud storage services, after all, 1080P video loop can save video files is still relatively limited, and the use of cloud storage does not have to worry about monitoring video will be lost or stolen due to the memory card is lost .
Since it supports two-way voice, external speakers are also natural. The small ant smart camera 2 arranged the speaker under the back of the fuselage, the volume is still sufficient to use, but I think if it is designed on the front, is it not more reasonable.
The small ant smart camera 2 still adopts a circular base, and a circle of silicone mat can make the body more stable when placed horizontally. It can also use the 3M glue in the accessories and stick the base on the ceiling, wall, etc. In addition, the small ant smart camera 2 also has a USB power jack designed on the base.
The rotary design of the small ant smart camera 2 can achieve about 180 degree adjustment of the lens up and down, and the damping is large enough, the adjusted angle can be fixed very well, and there will be no loosening and shifting problems.

Many people choose smart cameras not just because it has remote monitoring capabilities, but more importantly because it can notify the user in a timely manner based on the monitor environment or the abnormal situation of the sound.

It can monitor the specified area, as long as the screen will automatically alarm when moving, this point is suitable for users of pets at home use; also has a humanoid detection function, when the monitor screen, someone will automatically alarm, this can be Play a very good anti-theft effect, of course, is also suitable for the elderly home users, they can always care for them; and baby cry detection function, when the device detects the baby cries automatically alarm, this feature must open the camera microphone .

Finally, let us know through a group of monitoring pictures and videos to see if the monitoring effect of the small ant smart camera 2 is good or not. Although the small ant smart camera 2 offers both HD and SD, the following monitoring screens are all in HD mode. I personally recommend users to choose HD. Because the SD screen is obviously inferior to HD, if you do not choose the 1080P level, then what is the significance of purchasing the small ant smart camera 2? It's better to choose a generation.

From the monitoring screen analysis, the performance of the small ant smart camera 2 is quite satisfying to me. Although there are still obvious smear marks after it is put, compared with the 720P level, the details of the monitoring picture are more abundant and the colors are relatively real. some. In addition, the effect of infrared night vision is also quite effective, in the absence of light or low light environment, you can still see things in the picture clearly.
