At the bottom of the fuselage is a Type-c interface. The bottom has a concave design, which can hide cables and allow the camera to be laid flat. Four silicone pads are also added to the bottom. It can play a very good shock-absorbing and anti-slip role.

The APP connected to the camera this time is 360 Smart Life. In fact, there have been complaints before. 360’s products are all one series and one APP, which is very troublesome, such as the 360 ??router, sweeping robot and camera at home. They all fight alone. This time it is finally integrated. If you log in with the same account, you can directly see the previous products, making product management more convenient for users.

After the binding is successful, you will find that it is very different from previous cameras. It has added cloud service functions. Currently, you can receive free cloud service for one month and AI reminder service for one year. In addition, an AI skills store has been added. For different users, you can freely choose camera skills, such as area departure/intrusion reminder, no one presence reminder, pet detection, gesture call, person recognition, etc., to create exclusive care plan. Currently, you can receive 8 skills for free, and we hope there will be more in the future.

This camera can achieve two-way calls, gesture calling functions, person recognition, and can manage family photos. For example, when the children come home from school, the camera will remind them in real time.

Two-way one-touch call makes communication more convenient. The elderly and children are alone at home. Simply touch the green phone button on the camera or make a hand gesture to initiate a call. No mobile phone is required. Whether it is an elderly person or a child at home, You can contact your family at any time, and it is a real-time video call, so you can see the situation at home in a timely and convenient way.

360’s first AI smart store supports customized configuration and download of required AI skills to create personalized care scenarios. Whether it is looking after children, taking care of the elderly, or looking after stores, there are suitable AI scenarios, such as: person recognition, pet monitoring, area intrusion reminders, alarm clock reminders and other AI skills, coaxing children, reminding the elderly to measure blood pressure, take medicine, and criminals Early warning, etc. are all available.

Through the APP, you can see records of departures and intrusions in the area, as well as gesture call records. The homepage can be viewed in real time with one click, and you can also query with one click when leaving and entering through the lower area, accurately classifying the content you want to find later.

You can also control the camera rotation through the direction keys at the bottom. Dynamic query is a dynamic record recorded by all devices. In addition, you can also view the video records completely through cloud recording and card recording.

The gesture call function is still very sensitive. If you raise your palm, you will hear the camera beep twice, and then the call will start. The Android phone I use can set background reminders, and call information will pop up. If the APP is open, the interface for answering the call will appear directly, and the caller will be seen. The sensitivity is still very high, and you can basically make a WeChat call.

In the camera settings page, you can turn on humanoid detection, sensitivity and intelligent tracking. The advantage is that if you have children at home, you can also record their every move to prevent them from getting out of the circle. Of course, the recorded video Also good for home video. The sensitivity I set is medium, but judging from the reaction of the camera and following people when they move around, it is still very sensitive. The basic characters are all in the center of the video. Therefore, in this regard, it is also a good choice as a security monitor, so that thieves have nowhere to hide.

Regional settings, area intrusion and area departure can be set separately to specify the area. For example, when used for security monitoring, it can be directly opposite the balcony or door. Once someone breaks in, an alarm can be sounded. If it is used to take care of infants and young children, you can set a departure area. Once you leave the circle, you can notify parents, so that even when you are busy, you can always take care of your children.

The 360 ??PTZ camera 8MaxAI version has 5 million pixels, 3K ultra-clear panorama, and low-light full-color camera, so you can get a clear picture no matter it is bright or dark.
