Hands-on play player today, is a traditional manufacturer zmodo (Chi Mei da) webcam suit CP-KE1H04-S. Though based on the transformation of the traditional security cameras, but this makes it both in the network camera also security camera, all seem to be quite different.
Part of the base of the machine is a set of security camera systems, NVR host a bring your own hard drive, and powered by network cable for the camera, but can also connect to the mouse, keyboard and monitor to work independently.
After the addition of mobile phone app and network access, users can view real-time recording and playback in other places make the webcam into a 4-channel output. Its actual experience and what, let's take a look at it now.
Out of the box and look
Zmodo packaging is more security-oriented camera. Kraft paper box close to the square, the side on both diagonal posted stickers, white sticker is at the top of the Interior equipment of the machine code.
Because zmodo are made externally-oriented, so the whole package, in addition to the lower right corner to identify the manufacturer and model in Chinese outside, parameters and descriptions are in English. The good news is, the domestic version of the manual is in Chinese ... ...
Inside the 3-storey place, is a figure in the lower left corner of the top 4 cameras, in the middle is the figure on the upper left corner of the NVR (network video recorder) host and the power supply.
Open the accessory box, which is the power cord, NVR host screws and the mouse (like there's something strange in the mix). Check the instructions found, NVR monitors mouse and keyboard on the host can be inserted independently and rose pose embarrassing ... ...
NVR host power 19V/3A, power 57W, and notebooks were similar.
With packing layer, is actually 4 bundles of cable. Their length are the two 25m, two 15m, looking at their parameters and physical, I couldn't help but were scattered in the wind.
Wire packaging opened, camera inside the base and the wall fixing screws. Contrast 5.5 inch VIBE Z2,25m line size on the right side is a bit of an exaggeration.
Is a ZP-NC14-S four-channel network DVR NVR hosts (again a very long name). Its appearance is quite simple, the front panel is black plastic, only two power supplies and the hard drive light. Body scrubs this is black metal, fingerprint-resistant ability.
Placed next to the VIBE of the 5.5-inch z, realize that the size of the host is not very old.
Back left is the host for a camera cable, respectively, on the right is the alarm interface (used to access alarms), VGA, external network interfaces, 2 USB ports, power connectors and switches.
Open the fuselage cover, in addition to the Board, is reserved for 3.5-inch desktop hard drive. Because the send log is hard drive-free version, so it's empty.
Ample Board materials, good workmanship, but the middle of the heat sink paste shape. Although it does not affect the performance of the machine, but Virgo users may have psychological pressure.
Cross on a 3.5-inch hard disk, connect the power and SATA cables, loosen the fixing screw on lid on later, host configuration is done.
Camera model number is ZP-IBH13-P, its waterproof rating to the P66. Cameras for the all-metal fuselage, fuselage and wire is white, top and bottom fixing screw holes are provided.
Camera bottom stickers of various parameters, camera is surrounded by a ring of infrared light.
24 infrared lights, offers 20 m irradiation distance. Green circle is at the bottom of the photo-sensitive switches, for sensing the environment brightness, so that the machine can automatically switch the infrared mode.
Camera cable is thicker on the ass, and with non-folding.
This is a regular RJ45 network cable interface, after a measured, common network cable can also power the camera.
Experience
Because it is powered with a network cable, so the machine's layout is relatively simple. Host powered through a network cable connected to the routing, and then connected with a network cable after the 4 cameras, the machine will automatically start working.
When cable classic flashing yellow and green led (left), host internal green lamp (right) will be lit, a desktop light box (please forgive me for testing Office line slightly embarrassed). With 3 different brand and length of network cable test found that common network cable is also able to complete the task of power supply and data transmission.
NVR hosts with a custom operating system, there is also a group called Chi (Zsight) mobile app. I haven't seen the bumpkins, it is the first time that NVR host turned out to be bring your own customized system, so no system screenshots, resulting in figure below is TN real shot diagram on the screen, the display does not represent the actual performance.
Because the machine is not supporting the system screenshots, so here are really making screenshots (please ignore the serious corners on a TN screen line 囧), so on the first mobile app screenshots to illustrate the actual shooting performance, the video resolution is 720P, clarity and tolerance performed well.
Cold start time of about 2 minutes, after booting the default password in the input specifications, you can manage the machine settings. Also worth mentioning is that the host does not support WiFi, not supported, WiFi ... ... Really is a traditional manufacturer, had to console myself, actually more stable and reliable wired connection.
On a normal system interfaces such as, made up of 4-channel real-time video 720P, if an activity detection video or other features, their function icon will appear at the top. Because it is directly over a LAN, so the screen scene action and reaction are almost 0 delay, the experience of blasting a bunch of Intelligent IP cameras.
Could be released at any interface click on the main menu above, among them, "General, network, and device management" 4.
Common settings is a regular "account password, language, time display mode (adjustable into 4-channel video display)", and also offers advanced "system, and hard disk information" view.
Because the machine is configured automatically, so this basic network settings do not need to go. Reply if the home network is a fixed IP, or other special settings, you can use the DDNS and UPNP functions related settings.
You can control 4-way camera device management "image quality, resolution, frame rate, bit-stream mode, video block" more setting items.
Its professional security features, event management settings table leakage in no doubt. In addition to controlling the outside 4 channel camera video recording time, resolution, which automatically alerts a moving object, still down custom monitoring, alert duration, intervals, transmit mode (messages or app reminder), grab it or not can be customized.
Their experience also are helpful. Right-and in any way screen will pop-up at the mouse shortcut menu that pictured, you can jump directly to image settings, image zoom, and video playback.
Image settings can be directly on the camera's resolution, brightness, and color fine-tuning.
Video playback interface is at the bottom of the timeline, detect motion and alert time, will have a different color identified. Through the right side of the calendar and select the interface, you can extract a backup storage for video.
There is a traditional manufacturer of ridicule, and backup functions require additional access to other USB devices, it cannot be extracted directly to your local hard drive storage 囧. Although this is more safe, but take one hard drive but you can't extract video, there are always "hold bowls to beg" flavor.
And if 4-way camera open video 500G hard drive can store about 16 days. Of course, if you open the scheduled or motion detection recording function (only records video of moving objects), the recording time can be greatly extended, but precious moments or even copy the saved.
App experience
Although this is a traditional manufacturer of work, but the app is doing quite well. Its mobile app provides a complete view and basic set of features, so even if you never use the host's operating system, so users can still use the basic functions.
Users scan NVR host can access QR code at the bottom of the device. The main functions of the application is very simple, is responsible for view real-time video, screenshots and video storage.
Real-time video viewing interface, the default display is the first road camera images in real time, by sliding around in the 4-way switch output, screen below displays the real time Internet use and a total flow of consumption, the more intimate. Users can enjoy video "video" and capture operations, as well as adjusting low-high definition.
Under the same still picture, high resolution in the low bandwidth at 6, 22, 130k/s, and low resolutions that use 2G networks can still run, this one is good. Of course, according to the picture changes and brightness changes when bandwidth is different.
Video look at the interface, you can drag the timeline to view previous videos, switch dates, screenshots, sounds, switch settings such as, nature no less.
In the management of equipment, you can directly open warning alerts and share videos with other users (left), and all the screenshots or videos, there are shelves waiting for watch (right). In addition, mobile phone app can receive "IO and video motion detection, hardware loss" of three kinds of important warning reminders.
When phones and NVR when hosts are connected in a routed network, video speed when in fact you can also kill many similar products, delays at hundreds of Ms. And when they are different when the same network, with delays in the 1s, very good performance.
Summary
To sum up, this is in fact a joined the mobile app and networked viewing capabilities of traditional security devices. Security features are it's strengths, system operation and experience such as video delay, you can finish blasting the so-called Internet cameras;
720P and 20m infrared night vision distance is not too low-specification in the traditional security cameras. And cable power supply design, you can save wiring costs and hassle for the user.
But as "increased network capability" of the traditional security cameras, network storage function of its price is not official. Because all the data is in the local hard disk, so if NVR hosts not connected to phone can't watch video in real time and historical video.
This, of course, for some users, it will be a very secure private cloud. Unless the entire hard disk is stolen, or the inside of the video are quite safe. In addition, even if the host disconnection, it can still work, which is a single smart camera with network storage failed to do.
Price/performance
Finally, price analysis, security camera as a webcam and the cross-border products, prices are caught in between.
Its now in the East is 1799 x (without hard drive), and 500G hard drives cost about 300. 2100 is the 4-way prices can be placed outdoors, and good professional security camera night vision ability, support cross network mobile app for viewing.
A single outdoor security camera prices between 150-300, which cost between 600-1200, and 4-channel NVR network hard drive camera cost about 300-500, price 900-1700.
Zmodo price in front of DIY party there is not much advantage, but in a single front of the smart cameras price 3, 400 (not waterproof), its price is embarrassing.
