What is different from a competitive product that tests the smart home security camera "ARLO Q"?(Page 1/3) --Itmedia PC user
In recent years, the number of network cameras that store recorded data in the cloud, not the device itself, is increasing.The net gear "ARLO Q (Aaro Cue)" is one of these products, a cloud -type network camera that can be remotely watched from a smartphone.The company calls the "Smart Home Security Camera".
This product, which has acquired Amazon's "WORKS with Alexa" certification, has recently been sold with a smart speaker "Amazon Echo Spot" with a display, so many people may know.
ネットギアのスマートホームセキュリティカメラこと「Arlo Q」（VMC3040）I would like to pay attention to the fact that ARLO Q can be obtained in the middle of the 10,000 yen range (excluding tax), which is the lowest in these products.In addition, it is a major feature that the recording plan is not a paid option, but within 7 days and a capacity of 1GB or less.
This camera, I ordered as a set with Echo SPOT, and used it for about a month ahead, but the conclusion is quite Suguremono.The coordination function with Echo SPOT will eventually be introduced in another article, and this time we will focus on Arlo Q alone and check the features of hardware, setting methods, and the characteristics and usage method compared to the product.
The shape of ARLO Q is common as a network camera, and the angle can be freely adjusted by moving the ball joint type arm.The pedestal has a built -in powerful magnet, so it can be adsorbed on the steel surface in addition to stationary installation.
The resolution is full HD (1080p), which is a quality that is different from VGA -class products that are often found in network cameras.In addition to the viewing angle of 130 degrees, it also supports shooting in a dark place using an infrared LED.As expected, there is no waterproof function because of the price of the 10,000 yen range, and it does not support outdoors.
The USB cable is used for power supply, and all data transmission is performed on Wi-Fi.Wi-Fi is 2.Not only 4GHz band but also 5GHz band (IEEE 802.Because it corresponds to 11n), 2.It is also effective for sending stable images even in an environment where 4GHz is crowded.IEEE 802.Although it does not support 11ac, it is still 2.A general network camera that can only be used in the 4GHz band is an impression that is different.
製品パッケージ。日本語の表記がある付属品一式。本体の他、USBアダプター、ケーブル、台座、木ねじ、取扱説明書一式が含まれる。この手の製品としては充実している正面から見たところ。ひし形のボディーとそれを支える台座が特徴向かって右側面に同期（Sync）ボタンおよびリセットボタンを備えるなど、ハードウェアボタンを複数搭載しているのは今となっては珍しい左側面にはスピーカーを備えるボールジョイントで角度は自由に変更できる。今回の機材で試した限りでは特に緩いこともなかった背面のポートに差し込んだUSBケーブルはこうしてアームに沿わせる底面。マグネットが内蔵されておりスチール面に吸着できるボールジョイントの自由度は高い付属のUSBケーブル。外観は特異だが一般的なMicro Bケーブルと相違なく、手持ちのケーブルと交換も可能だThe setup is performed using a smartphone.Although the number of steps is a bit large, it emphasizes easy -to -understand, so it does not feel annoying and can be done by beginners without any problems.
Compared to other companies' products, the intention of pressing the button on the main unit or reading the QR code displayed on the smartphone with the camera is to reflect the troublesome tasks such as serial code input to the application screen as much as possible.
Below, the main screen of the setup will be extracted and introduced.
