Has your home been stolen? Have you ever been awakened by a knock at the door in the middle of the night? Did you ever have fear? ... Anyway, I have a grudge against thieves, because my house has been stolen twice, which is not only due to the power of thieves, but also due to the inadequacy of security equipment, such as door locks, monitors, alarms and so on. At that time, my brother often worked the night shift, and when he left me alone at night, he was especially afraid, because the thief was sometimes silent, so later I installed an infrared sensor alarm in the room, but often mistakenly called the police, but frightened myself. Now with the baby is more to be more careful, during the day to work, the elderly and children at home is really super uneasy, so I searched around for security equipment, accidentally found the spotted cat smart cat eye s200 (hereinafter referred to as the spotted cat), suddenly felt that found a sense of security, just like the sentence of the spotted cat: "for the remote care of the door."

【Remote IoT requirements】
Cat's eye, also known as the door mirror, we should all be familiar with it, it is a small optical instrument installed on the door of the house, which is convenient for residents to observe the outdoor situation, and is one of the necessities of home safety. However, with the development of science and technology, anti-cat eye equipment has also turned out, this device can use the opposite principle of cat eye imaging, change the built-in lens sequence for "reverse vision", directly from the cat's eye outside the door, the opposite direction directly peeks at the indoor situation, and can also be connected to the camera and monitor to shoot the home situation for thieves to use.
This also increases the user's uneasiness and fear, so our urgent need for intelligent security black technology has also followed, and now, spotted cat as the Internet of Things intelligent security leader, will bring a series of security high-tech into my life, let's take a look at its strength?
【Unpacking Details and Installation】
The rectangular black top-up packaging looks calm and atmospheric, and the head of a cat directly above the packaging, that is, the logo of the spotted cat, although it is small, but the orange-gold print is particularly prominent.
There is no superfluous printing and instructions around the package, the long side is marked with "Internet of Things Cat's Eye", and the short side is marked with the characteristics of the product: face identification, WeChat message reminder, free cloud storage, remote video intercom, high-definition infrared night vision, human body motion detection, overtime stay alarm, etc. There is a label under the box, on which is the sn code of the product and the basic information of the product.
When you open the package, you can see at a glance that the cat's eye and the display are wrapped and fixed in a collision avoidance protective foam film.
The complete product is also equipped with an instruction manual, a display hanging plate, three pairs of screws of different specifications, a charging cable and a warranty card.
It can be seen that the overall tone is bronze, this tone is very suitable for the security door used by the current house developer, and the metal brushed texture of the whole set of products is very high.
The cnc cut integrated molding streamline design of the product also made me feel good, simple and atmospheric. Hanging on the door will not look very abrupt, but feel full of technology.
The installation is actually very simple, although I am a weak woman, but at the same time I am a smart mother, this point of hands-on kung fu is really a small case! Do not know, a hand frightened, this traditional cat's eye is really very good to disassemble, just like the principle of screw nuts, twist a twist is finished, the mood is bad in an instant, the original safety hazard is so close to me. It seems that it is still necessary to install smart cat's eye.
First, the connection line of the cat's eye outside the door is threaded into the hole, and the cat's eye is fixed to the door.
Then pass the cable through the display board.
Choose the screw that fits the thickness of your home's security door and hold the cat's eye outside the door and the display hanging plate inside the door together.
Connect the cable to the display.
Finally, the display is hung on the hanging board, the design of the hanging plate is very convenient, the upper protrusion can be inserted into the socket on the back of the display, and the lower part is a magnetic design, which tightly adsorbs the display on the hanging plate, so that the user can install and remove the equipment very conveniently.
【Device Binding】
After installation, open the display, you can see the slogan of the spotted cat, as well as the other IoT intelligent security equipment of the spotted cat.
The first time the system is powered on, the device prompts you to link the network and activate the device.
Then we need to scan the QR code on the screen to download the app and bind the device.
The spotted cat also grabbed the way the fingerprint of the mobile phone landed, which also greatly increased the convenience and security, and the finger could be logged in with a light touch.
【Spotted cat display experience】
After the device is bound, enter the main interface, you can see the real-time monitoring of the spotted cat for the outside environment through the display screen. Don't underestimate this display, it is a 5-inch touch IPS hard screen with 720p resolution, and the 178° viewing angle allows users to see clearly and see comfortably. Directly below is the home button, while the host display supports type-c charging and memory expansion (up to 32g).
The monitoring time on the picture is at night, the corridor sensor light is turned off and lit, the whole picture feels very clear, and the viewing angle is also very wide. This is all thanks to the cat's eye equipped with a 1/2.7-inch 1080p HD security sensor, 6 layers of full glass lenses, f1.8 large aperture, 160° wide-angle lens and security-grade sensor to greatly improve the dynamic range of images and videos, capture image details in complex light, and make our field of vision more extensive. At the same time, the industry's top configuration of 5 million pixel lenses and 4 infrared night vision sensors is adopted, which makes the night monitoring effect clearer and the picture cleaner.
At the same time, there are four menu items under the main interface: Capture, Video, Album, and Settings. On the left is the interface light adjustment button, and the user can adjust the brightness and darkness of the interface according to the light of the surrounding environment. An option in the upper right corner is Visitor Records, which records information about each visitor, including photos of strangers, length of stay, number of motion detections, and more.
Under the setting options, wlan, bound device, display, time, sound, power saving mode, storage, log, about and other options are a small system, and users can set them according to their needs.
【App Experience】
We can use the app to control the spotted cat, and we can monitor everything outside the security door without having to guard the display screen all the time. The bottom selection menu of the app is: Home, Device, Scene, And Dynamics. Enter the device to choose to view and manage the spotted cat in your own home remotely.
You can protect against strangers and suspicious people by setting alarms, visit settings, motion detection, and more.
You can also set up face recognition to distinguish between people we can trust, such as friends, relatives, etc.
I admitted myself face recognition as: Mommy, in practice, this face recognition is very useful, and the recognition is also very accurate.
When someone visits, ring the doorbell, and the spotted cat will send a message to the owner and take a picture to record.
For the sake of intuition, I put the inside and outside machines together, and the actual operation is like this:

On both sides of the cat's eye are equipped with speakers and pickup holes, the same independent sound cavity design principle as b&o, we can use the spotted cat's remote video intercom function, and the visitor to carry out full-duplex seamless intercom, just like the phone call, smooth, clear, no noise.
When a stranger visits, or the device is forcibly destroyed, the network is interrupted and a series of problems occur, we spotted cats will take photos or records, and at the same time push messages to our display, app, WeChat, SMS, and send messages to the owner in front of each door. This push method, which I personally feel is very good, can prevent the owner from accepting and omitting the push information due to various unexpected situations.
If the spotted cat is violently pried or disassembled, as long as the connection line between the cat's eye and the display is disconnected, it will trigger a high-intensity alarm:

Under the scene options, we can set a variety of possible events, such as when the spotted cat monitors the family home, the security door is automatically opened (provided that the spotted cat door lock is installed); when the spotted cat detects that a friend is visiting, it automatically takes pictures and sends a short message; when the spotted cat detects that a stranger is approaching, it automatically plays the warning voice, videos and sends an alarm message to the owner. Wait a minute.
【Battery life】
Don't look at this small spotted cat, but the built-in 8000mah large-capacity lithium battery, according to the official theoretical data, a charge can be used for 3 months, since the receipt of the spotted cat began to use so far, for a week of look, only used 7% of the power. From this point of view, the 3-month battery life cycle should be out of the question. At the same time, the spotted cat also applies 5v3a fast charging technology, and the acceleration is full of energy to defend the family.
【Free Cloud Storage】
Spotted Cat provides a free 15-day rolling coverage cloud storage service for the majority of users, which is still very thoughtful.
【The World of Spotted Cats】
In fact, when we first enter the app, we can see that the spotted cat IoT device is far from only the smart cat's eye, but also the door lock, camera, gateway, all kinds of home sensors, etc., the app and the host will continue to remind you to update, personally feel that an industrial chain with an architecture and a platform can be upgraded is worth consumers to try.
In fact, as far as I am concerned, the remote control and face recognition function of the spotted cat intelligent cat eye s200, I think it is still good, for me to go out during the day, only the old and small family is very practical, cost-effective to see how you look at the official, this is the first line of defense of the home door, you feel that you can indeed defend, can give you peace of mind is also worth it.
Advantages: simple and atmospheric design; functional face recognition, motion detection, remote control, intelligent Internet of Things, bring great convenience to the home; configure 4 industry top infrared sensors, 178 ° wide angle, 5 million pixels, so that the field of vision is wider and clearer; the use of display, app and WeChat complementary, anytime, anywhere to operate.
Disadvantages: IoT information is pushed through the app, display, WeChat and SMS, but the information is too repetitive, for example: the push information of the app can be viewed from the "Internet of Things cat's eye" in the main interface device menu, and can also be viewed from the dynamic menu of the main interface, the information is the same, hoping to be able to integrate or refine the classification.
