With the first good weather, his home-securing plans flourish: Spring breaks, then summer vacations, already seem to come in handy. bumper offer from Connected cameras It constantly renews itself, as evidenced by Avidsen’s release of it HomeCam2 360which is a small camera that allows you to alert if the presence is detected, but also to watch from the inside of his smartphone. 20 minutes I watched it home Sweet Home for a week and gives you his impressions.
Ease of use
Alert, new surveillance cameras are out! Among them, the new HomeCam2 360 from Avidsen, which was recently released with two arguments: it is easy to use and equipped with a motor. Plugged in, connected to the home network in five minutes, paired with a QR Code Offered by the Avidsen Home app, it entices with ease of use and can be recommended even if you haven’t completed your technical bac.
Few parameters must be modified. Among them are detection sensitivity (low, medium, high), motion tracking and whether or not to send notifications when motion is detected. And we can feel good about it at first. Going forward, it will then be possible to set the camera’s operating schedule, or even organize routines.
360 degree subject tracking
On a daily basis, the HomeCam2 360 also features its motors. Once it detects a presence, it sends a notification and starts recording a video on its microSD card (not supplied) and chases after the intruder. Thus, the Full HD camera horizontally and automatically follows any visitor in their movements. For his part, the absent owner can remotely control the direction of the camera at any time, controlling it horizontally but also vertically, at an angle of 85 degrees.
The two-way audio system allows you to talk to the person at home from their smartphone and hear their answer. It can also be used to pet a domestic dog or cat…
Adequate, but has flaws
Our testing reveals a generally reliable product. We did not notice any delay between a person passing in front of the camera and the resulting alert. However, we were able to notice some alerts that came in late, which are not warranted. So it’s best to check before calling a loved one or the police station…Following the topic is more random.
We first noticed that turning on the camera works jerks, not allowing a very smooth visual follow-up of the potential visitor. More annoying: in the face of a fast-moving person (which would be imagined in the case of a burglary), the camera sometimes loses sight of it and interrupts its follow-up! A restriction if we rely on the recorded images to confuse the immoral…
For their part, the presented images remain true, with a sufficient level of detail. The HomeCam 2360 has also proven to be well suited for night use. Infrared LED lighting seemed to us of sufficient quality to give us images (this time in black and white) of honest quality.
in exchange for money
On arrival, this camera was sold for 59 euros offering services corresponding to the investment made. More expensive models are necessarily more advanced and can, depending on the situation, provide a shutter to hide the lens, alerts if sound is detected, intelligent animal detection, zoom or even service Zipper To store his recordings (and secure them!). These are criteria to consider before purchasing.
halfway between Mi Home Security 360 From Xiaomi (sold for 39 euros) and Move and tilt From Yale (€69), the HomeCam2 360 remains a basic you can be satisfied with before you probably upgrade your installation.
