Vigilant door surveillance
Some time ago I wrote a comparative review of a camera with a searchlight . The camera was mounted with an eye on the front door. But what to do when you are away from home, or visitors or guests may come and start calling, but there is no such camera. So I decided to try the input Wi-Fi call with the camera. For the nuances and tests I ask below.
I already have a camera with feedback, which allows not only to see, but also to communicate with those who are nearby. It turned out to be very convenient when someone comes, and I'm not at home. You can answer and talk. In addition, such a camera is an effective element of a video surveillance system. But this camera is visible to everyone and shoots from above and from the side. At the same time, the interlocutor’s face is not visible, unless he turns his face to the camera.
It turned out to be very interesting Wi-Fi call Ezviz DB1 . According to the manufacturer, this call is "the first to meet guests." This is especially interesting because the built-in PIR sensor has a setting for detecting movement at a certain distance - 1.5, 3 and 5 meters. That is, when someone comes to the door, you already receive an alert.
And when the visitor calls the call button, he hears a beep, and the owner receives an alert with a photo in the application. True, this only applies to the application on the smartphone, but the program for the computer does not yet have such a function. But both from a computer and from a smartphone, you can use the camera to monitor and communicate using two-way communication.
The call itself has a wide-angle lens and a 3 MPix camera, that is, the picture will be well detailed. In addition, all video data can be stored on a microSD card installed inside the case. You can also save video in the cloud, but this function works in test mode, and storage in the cloud only works for free for the first time. When you call the smartphone comes a picture and a signal. It looks as follows.
Based on the press release, the vertical review is 180 degrees, and the horizontal - 105. According to my own feelings, this data is somewhat overpriced, especially with regard to the vertical review. But the picture really resembles a glance through the peephole and this is not bad. The picture from the camera on a weekday without a call looks very saturated.
It's nice that we did not forget about the owners of private houses and owners of apartments, on the site of which there is sometimes no light - the camera is equipped with IR illumination. The visitor's face in complete darkness looks curious.
At the same time, the overall picture also looks quite cosmic in BW mode with backlight. The picture also has a street light.
And now I’ll talk a little about the device itself and the nuances of power. The delivery kit itself allows you to put the bell perpendicularly or slightly at an angle to the door. In addition, three multi-colored pads are included.
Also included are starting wires, clamps, a screwdriver, and even a drill for mounting the bell. Pleasant customer care.
But it was somewhat surprising that it implies food from calls that are not common in our country. But you can power any adapter with direct or alternating current and voltage from 8 to 24V. That is, owners of ordinary apartment calls will have to pull a separate cable, and homeowners will be easier. Wi-Fi connection to the Internet and the installation wizard will help you make all the settings. Next, the call simply attaches to the wall and starts to work.
The personal impressions of such a call are twofold: on the one hand, this device will allow you to chat with a visitor if you are not at home. It is really convenient both as an element of the security system and from the point of view of communication comfort - if you are not waiting for guests, you can talk without opening the door. On the other hand, a properly mounted CCTV camera will allow you to capture a larger sector of the territory, but the visitor can hide his face under a cap or hood. For the rest, it is worthwhile to wish the manufacturer to finalize the application so that a notification of a doorbell will also come to the computer. Thus, taking a camera or a call with feedback is up to you, but any of the devices clearly facilitates communication with guests and increases the security of your home.
