With the development of the times, the traditional method of burglary by burglary has long been eliminated by modern and more convenient unlocking tools. The method of theft through burglary is also the thief used by most thieves . “Fire-proof anti-theft and anti-thievery†is the main target for most people at present , and burglary is also the easiest and most direct loss of property. How can we effectively prevent theft and reduce the loss of property?
For burglary and unlocking methods, the following methods are commonly used: unlocking a robot (unlocking through a cat's eye), unlocking a tin foil, and unlocking a card. Therefore, we first replace the more advanced door locks on theft, making it impossible for these thieves to use common unlocking tools. Use; second is to replace a more secure cat's eye, so that the thieves can not through the cat's eye to view indoor conditions and unlock; the last is to develop a good habit of life, go out or night at night to lock the doors and windows, remove small ads, do not leave large amounts of cash and other life Habits can effectively reduce the chance of becoming a burglary object.
After we do a good job of basic preventive measures and have a good habit of living, we can more effectively ensure that our property at home is free from large losses of property. This is in addition to the installation of surveillance cameras. In addition to being able to form a shock for thieves, After the theft occurred, the police could quickly provide the relevant video evidence. The rapid detection of the case reduced the loss of property. Some time ago, a small ant smart camera 2 was very popular for home users and merchants to provide relevant video records. So what exactly is the experience of this camera? Today, it brings us relevant experience sharing.
In fact, I have a lot of contact with small ant products, because my own sports camera and smart camera used at home are small ants brand, although the small ants belong to Xiaomi ecological chain companies, but in terms of cost-effective and millet's own products All are consistent, high performance and low price. I have always used the small ant smart camera 1 generation in my own home, so the performance of the small ants 2 that I got this time was significantly improved. I don’t have much to say to start sharing today.
In terms of packaging, it still maintains a generation of white outer packaging, but the small ants 2 in the outer packaging printing physical map and English description to see the small ants 2 have more international norms, in addition to the bottom of the Chinese parameters are affixed to the other English introduction Therefore, when you get this product, you probably think that he is an imported product. The English introduction and previous reports that some of the small ants outperformed the international monitoring brand Nest, it is not difficult to analyze that this small ant 2 is aimed not only at the domestic market but also at the international market.
In terms of accessories, the small ant smart camera 2 provides a host computer, a 2-meter USB cable, a 5V 2A power adapter, a monitoring notification sticker, a base fixed super glue, and related manuals. These accessories can basically Meet our daily use needs.
The small ant smart camera 2 adopts American Samba new generation S2LM processor, Panasonic MN34229PL image sensor, 1080P Full HD quality F2.0 large aperture camera, 130 degree large viewing angle, and 11 940 nm infrared lamp beads, supporting 4 Digital amplification technology, Smart HDR technology, and Smart AVC ultra-low stream compression technology, with humanoid recognition, cry detection, gesture recognition, traffic statistics, supports up to 64GB TF card local storage and cloud storage, the price 399 yuan.
Let's take a look at the upgrade of the small ant 2 above the hardware. In terms of the camera, the small ant 2 uses a 1080P pixel 5 piece professional optical lens F2.0 large aperture camera to ensure the improvement of the entire picture quality. The F2.0 large aperture can increase the light amount of the photosensitive surface in the camera to enhance the overall image quality. The 1080P pixel camera is twice as clear as the 720P pixel camera. Therefore, the image quality improvement should be ours. The biggest feeling. If there is a generation of friends who can look at the camera part, the small ants 2 are significantly larger than the first generation. Of course, there will be a related introduction later in this article.
In terms of processor, the small ant 2 also took the lead in adopting the US Anba new generation S2LM processor. This processor can be said to be the most powerful processor in the monitoring field currently, only in some flagship models. Use, even better than the performance of the A5s used by Nest Cam. S2LM processor adopts low-power 28nm CMOS process, integrates ARM Cortex-A9, supports H.264 High Profile Level 5.1 encoding, has Smart AVC low bit rate video stream enhancement technology, HDR, LDC ( distortion correction) , motion compensation 3D drop Noise and de-ghosting technology, this powerful processor can play a role in escorting the small ant 2's image quality. At the same time, the Panasonic MN34229 image sensor adopted by the small ant 2 is also a security class sensor, and the 2.75 μm large pixel size supports up to 1080P60. By looking at the hardware parameters, the most anticipated value of this small ant 2 is the image quality improvement.
Having said some of the hardware of the small ants 2 before, let's take a look at the changes in the appearance of the small ants 2. When I got the small ant 2 and gave me my first impression, this time the small ants 2 work finer, the design is better, and the appearance looks like an improved version of the Great White. Of course, the small ant 2 in the design of the design will affect the aesthetics of the product and use of some adjustments, small ants 2 in addition to the micro-usb interface exposed, the other is basically hidden inside the back cover.

The small ant 2 was the first to use the back cover design, making the entire product look very rounded, and also installed the speaker on the back of the fuselage. The small ant 2 speaker sounds pretty good, whether it is in the operation of voice reminder or voice dialogue, the sound gives people a very clear feeling.
The small ants 2 can easily remove the back cover by the snaps on the left and right sides of the back cover. After removing the back cover, we can clearly see some of the internal structures. Of course, the interior uses a silver-gray protective cover. The internal chip is blocked, making it look very simple and refreshing. The screw used to fix the circuit board is also hidden in the back cover. A micro sd card slot is designed on the left side. It supports up to 64 GB of extended memory and the rest key is set in the upper right corner.
Compared to most current network smart cameras, the small ant 2 is quite kind. Most network smart cameras only provide users with cloud storage services. They provide users with free cloud storage within a certain period of time. Users need to pay for the later period to continue. Enjoy related cloud storage services. Only smart cameras with cloud storage give me a feeling of bundled consumption. If you don't use cloud storage, you can only watch live broadcasts, you can't see what happened in the past, and small ants 2 are very kind in storage, not only Provide users with free cloud storage services for one year, and also provide a maximum of 64GB of local storage (users need to buy), so that those who do not want to use cloud storage services users can choose to store locally.
What is the difference between cloud storage and local storage? Cloud storage requires users to pay a certain service fee each year and enjoy a certain period of storage services, while local storage is stored in the local TF card; cloud storage is more secure than local storage because most of the cloud storage is It is stored on the cloud server, and the cloud server provider will provide a lot of data protection. It will not lose data like local storage. Cloud storage is more flexible than local storage, and it can be seen from time to time. Small Ant 2's cloud storage service is based on Alibaba Cloud technology, and it is given to users for free in the first year. Subsequent use only costs 100 yuan/year, which is lower than the cost of cloud storage services for most network cameras on the market. Less, such as: 360 camera cloud storage costs 299 yuan / year, Nest annual cloud storage is as high as 1,000 yuan, so the small ant 2 this combination of local plus cloud storage can meet the storage needs of different users.
The body of the small ant 2 material is still used in a plastic shell, but the plastic body used this time gives the impression that the quality should be good, feels very smooth. At the same time, the base and the connecting column have been improved. The base of the small ant 2 is no longer a thin base in the first generation. Instead, it is designed with a thin, thick front base, and the micro-usb interface is thickened, making it easy for users to easily Insert the usb cable, and the thin base design on the front will increase the appearance of the product. The connection column uses the "R" style design, giving it a feeling of being thicker and stronger, supporting an adjustment range of about 180 degrees.
The dots below the camera are noise reduction microphones
The adjustment space of about 180 degrees can provide support for installation adjustments in many different environments. When adjusting the angle of the camera, the damping of the connection column and the camera is also very good. No matter which angle camera is selected, it can be effectively fixed.

In the mobile phone APP, both the small ants 2 and the one used are the same APP - the small ant camera. This is different from the generation of small ant 2 can not use the millet smart home APP for device management, in terms of the APP in terms of small ant camera is more easy to get started function is also more abundant, so even if you can not use millet smart home management will not regret . The small ant 2 connection only needs to operate according to the prompts to complete the binding of the device. Unlike the first generation, it is necessary to align the production two-dimensional code to the small ant 2 camera for binding, and is no longer The APP scans the camera for binding. Relatively speaking, it is more convenient for the camera to scan the phone for binding.

In terms of function, the small ant 2 supports LDC technology and can directly set the camera's image distortion through the mobile phone APP. It can also set gestures, infrared, microphone, status lights, image flipping, etc., and the merchant's expected flow statistics function currently looks like. Not yet on the line, it may be launched in the subsequent APP update. Of course, the funniest feature is the gesture function. When we and the ant 2 are within a distance of 1.5 to 2 meters, they only need to extend their palms. The fingers will wait for a few seconds and the camera will light up green after the gesture is recognized. After 3 seconds, the short video is recorded and the short video is recorded and then pushed to the mobile phone.
Before distortion correction
After the distortion correction , the distortion correction function is also a very good function for the small ants 2. After setting the mobile phone APP, the fisheye effect video image can be transformed into a flat image. The above set of pairs can be clearly identified. It can be seen that the distortion-corrected image looks more comfortable. At the same time, we can see that the small ants 2 can also take good pictures in rooms with poor light environment. Although there are some noises, the image clarity is good. Infrared light beads have been upgraded from one generation of 8 to 11 940nm lamp beads, making the night vision more detailed. The effect is even better at night, and there are pictures taken at night.
One function that Small Ant 2 still has is the Baby crying cry monitoring function. It is very necessary to have a small ant in the kid's room if there is a child in the family, because this function is when the child is sleeping or playing in the room alone and crying. The small ant 2 will automatically push the video and sound files to the mobile phone app after monitoring the cry of the child, so that the adults can comfort the children in a child's room in time. Of course, mobile alarm and alarm detection and gesture recognition humanoid have adopted this principle is that, when the camera to identify when the relevant circumstances are automatically pushed to your phone APP, tested and related alarms can push timely pushed to your phone APP, These pushes can be viewed within APP messages. Of course, the picture quality is the king for the camera, as an old ant user, the product of the small ant is still good in picture quality. However, I said it was useless and I had to come to a group of real photos for everyone to see. For me, the function is not as important as the picture quality. So next we look at a group of small ants under daytime and nighttime lighting conditions. 2 Photographs of the photograph taken, the darkness of the front has been explained, and the nighttime effect is described later.

For a period of experience, the improvement of the small ants 2 is a qualitative leap compared to the first generation. What is the difference between the two products and where did the small ants 2 improve? In order to let everyone know more clearly the upgrade of the small ant 2 compared to the 1st generation, the next step is to show that the two products have different designs and picture quality.
(left is 1 generation, right is 2 generation, same below)
On the front of the two products, the two products basically maintained a consistent design. The only difference was that the small ants 2 looked slightly taller than the 1st generation and the bases were narrower. At the same time, they gave the impression that the camera part was also larger. some. Of course, there are also some differences in the front, such as transplanting a generation of microphones to the front of a small ant 2, so that the sound collection in video recording is more concentrated. From the side of the past to give people the feeling of a small ant 1 generation certainly belong to the small ants 2 in the process of measuring the engineering machine, it seems to give people feel very LOW, while the small ants 2 look texture is better, a generation of the camera motherboard Some integrated with the camera in the black body, while the small ants 2 will be covered with a white back cover, more in line with everyone's aesthetic standards, while the body thickness of the small ants 2 is also thinner than the 1st generation.
Side view
Seen from the details, the small ant 2 treatment is also more in place. For example, the base adopts a thicker, smaller design, the R design of the connection column , and the design of the fuselage shell package make the small ant 2 look more stable than the previous generation. It gives a very safe product, and the thickened ants 2 can be placed on the table no matter how they are placed, and there is no need to fix the glue.

In the back of the two products also look different, the small ants 2 will be a generation of products in the TF card socket, Rest key are hidden in the back cover, giving people feel more beautiful.
The bending angle of two products is almost the same
In front of me, I have mentioned the camera part of the two products. I will look at the small ants 2 will be bigger (no one can refer to the above picture), with the camera and processor upgrade two products in the viewing angle and video quality The above is also different. In order to allow everyone to compare the picture quality of the two products more intuitively, we provided two sets of comparison photos. I believe that it is easy to tell which product is the king of picture quality.

Small ants 1 real shot
Night ants 2 real shot
Nocturnal small ants 1 real shot Through the above two sets of comparative photographs, the small ant 2 has a wider viewing range than the one-generation camera. The 130 wide-angle camera has a greater angle of view than the 111.2-degree one-generation product, but it is smaller than the image quality. The ant 2's picture quality advantage is more obvious. The color reproduction of the small ant 2 during the day is better than that of the previous generation. The saturation is also higher and the picture quality is more delicate. In the case of nighttime, the small ant 2 has 11 infrared lamps. The sharpness and exquisiteness of the photographed images are far more than a generation of products, and noise is also better controlled than the first generation.
The main reason why I chose the two products of the small ants for comparison is that I have no comparable products of other brands. At the same time, the small ant 1 generation smart camera is also one of the competing products in the eyes of most of the friends on the market. The quality is also better than the quality of many friends' video cameras. If there are other brands of products for follow-up use, they will be evaluated for comparison.
Finally, the small ant 2 as a 1080P smart camera, in addition to the appearance of the design and hardware configuration upgrades, but also for us to bring more stable and reliable picture quality improvements and new and exciting fun features. In addition to our preparedness on the hardware, we can also use the smart camera of the small ant smart camera 2 to record and notify us at the first time when someone is burglary, thus providing a clearer video for the police to a certain extent. Accelerate police investigation to reduce our property loss.
