What kind of sparks do traditional doorbells wipe when they touch smart cameras? Today we come to talk about an emerging product line in the field of family security, the smart doorbell. In short, the smart doorbell is an entirely new product that integrates traditional doorbells, smart cameras, and mobile phone app. More intelligent, secure, easy-to-use features make smart doorbells one of the new generation's hot items in smart families。
Today, we have selected two smart doorbells (360 smart doorbells and zero smart video doorbells) that are now under the hot market for smart hardware, 360 of which were officially launched and evaluated in two elevens, while zero smart video doorbells were launched immediately after november 29th. Let's start with a big pk on the whole site。
Appearances: each of them
360 smart doorbell
Tink zero smart video doorbell
From the overpack, 360 smart doorbells appear to be more eccentric and better packaged, although some of the small things sold in rice are always so packaged, and individuals feel good. I would like to emphasize here that the reason why tinker bell separates the doorbell from the receiver is because its doorbell can be connected directly to the young friend and can not buy the receiver。

Tink zero smart video doorbell
Both look similar in style and have a simplistic style. In contrast, 360 bells are based on piano lacquer panels, black colours are used, and indoor receivers are designed with white stripes, which are very home-dwelling and meet the demands of more families。
While the main bell and receiver tone are white, the bell camera is designed in black, and in its appearance alone, the overall image and taste of 360 is considered to be higher, although the judgement of the design will vary from person to person。
Video resolution: 360 more clearly
360-resolution 1536 x 1376
Tink zero resolution 1280 x 720
Video clarity is the key product parameter of the smart doorbell, which greatly influences the product experience, and in the actual comparison we can see a photo resolution of 1536 x 1376, or approximately 2. 11 million pixels taken by 360; the image resolution taken by tinker bell is 1280 x 720, approximately 920,000 pixels, and it is clear that 360 is better at the resolution。

From a self-portrait comparison of the same position above, we can see that 360 is clearly more sharp and looks clearer; and the tinkering is a little bit more girding and more noise. It is clear that the recording of clearer video evidence would be more advantageous in front of the door。
Visual angle: 360 out
In fact, in the resolution comparison above, our view is in the same position, and we can see 360 visual angles that are much larger than zing, which officially gives an angle of 105°, and 360 visual angles that are up to 162°, which are designed with a wide angle, plus a horizontal angle of 110° and a vertical angle of 100°。
In the visual angle, 360 is almost overwhelming, and in the night vision contrast below, we can also see that if someone comes out of the elevator, 360 can record the whole person, while zero can only be shot in the upper half. At the same time, as the target gets closer to the doorbell, zing zero will have some dead spots, while the 360-wider lens will be less. In short, it's the difference between a conventional camera and a panoramic camera, or between a full shot and a residual。
Night vision: 360 with a clearer perspective and zero more bright

Overall, both smart doorbells had a good night vision, although 360 would have a greater perspective and greater clarity. And the fact that we're talking about when we're in a conflict of resolution is even sharper and thinner, as can be seen at first sight. But in terms of the brightness of the distance, the tinkering is much more bright, because the one-way setup of the tinkering app is an exposure compensation, while the small perspective is one of the influencing factors。
Signal stability: some 360
The stability of network signals is an important factor influencing the experience of smart doorbells. It is well known that metals are shielded from the wifi signal, which is why many notebook products leave rubber bars that accept wifi signals in the a-faced metal shell. By the same token, the metal-proof door in some users' homes is a strong shield for the wifi signal, and if we place the wifi router at a distance from the security door, like the main bedroom, it could have a significant impact on the reception of the wifi signal, which is placed outside the doorbell, and could have an impact on the steady transmission of video content。
Room 360 receivers
And that is why the 360 indoor receivers not only have bells, but also a wifi signal booster, with a stand-alone web card and wifi antenna, in other words, it's more like a wifi electric cat that can boost wifi signals to a certain extent and be effective enough to enhance the stability of bell video transmissions. Tink zing uses the doorbell itself to connect to the router, and signal transmission has some limitations。
We have experienced the limit distance of the wifi signal reception, 360 as a whole, which is a little bit further than the tinkering, although it is not so different that both meet the demand during daily household use。
Storage mode: 360 uses local + cloud mixed storage and zero limited to cloud storage
For anti-preventive video devices, cloud-based storage and local storage have respective advantages, have lower local storage costs and are not restricted by network signals and are readily recorded. The tf card local storage (indoor machines) + 48 hours of cloud storage free of charge is used here to refer to the fact that the cloud server will keep outside video content for the user for two days, and will automatically remove it in two days, which is equivalent to the current time frame for many companies to monitor video caches to meet the day-to-day monitoring needs of most users. Tink the smart video doorbell, on the other hand, uses the full cloud storage。
In terms of storage support, the advantages of 360-mounted clouds + local mixed storage are more evident, but in practical terms, there is no difference in experience between the two products if network transmission is ensured to be stable。
Power supply: 360 lithium batteries are better
Zero dry batteries
In terms of intelligent doorbells, 360 are significantly more advanced in terms of power supply, using a chargeable 5000 mah ultra-high-capacity lithium battery, which is officially given a renewal period of more than six months. Tinker bell, on the other hand, is designed to use the traditional dry battery, so that section 4-5 batteries achieve the same half-year extension. This is due to the fact that tinker bell defaults as a low-utility mode during daily use, and real-time monitoring is only activated when someone stays in front of the door。
From the point of view of energy efficiency, there are no significant differences between the parties, generally about one or two thousand milligrams when cell 5 (aa model alkaline cell) is converted to millimetres, while the capacity of cell 5 in section 4 is not significantly different from that of 360 and may even exceed 5,000 mah. However, the dry cell is affected by the surrounding environmental factors that cause energy depletion and the overall performance is not stable. At the environmental level, it is clear that rechargeable lithium batteries are more environmentally friendly than dry batteries, with a relative advantage of 360 in this section。
Easy to install: no difference
To an easy extent, the two products are almost identical, with two types of installation, the first using the screws attached to the product to be fixed and the other using 3m strong glue。
App experience: 360 can see outside dynamics in real time and zero needs to be triggered
360 camera, app
Mi's app
First, with respect to the app connection, the 360 connective steps are relatively more numerous, but the overall connectivity of the two products is the same. In practical experience, the "360 cameras" version of the app is able to broadcast the sound outside the door in real time, and when it rings outside the door, it has a hint, and we can also click on the live video outside the door at any time。
And the "mi" app used by tink zing also has a alert function, but perhaps for the sake of dry battery renewal, ting zing is operating in a mode that saves electricity without ringing or triggering the bell, and under which we are not in a position to start a live view of the door. Only when there is a noise in front of the door will tinker bell be triggered to view the outside in real time。
The design is evaluated as more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, but individuals think that 360 is clearly better if you want to choose a smart doorbell for real-time monitoring at the door, and you can look outside。
Safety: the drums are equal, the tinkering is fun
In terms of safety, both products have a barrier function and a long stay alert. Both products contain human sensors capable of detecting the movement in front of the door in real time, and when people appear within 3 metres of the door, the doorbell is recorded at the first time and can be replayed through app. However, it is worth mentioning here that 360 uses a series of long video photographs, which can last more than 30 seconds or more; and the tink-zero video shoots are like an instant dynamic capture, and successive videos are often relatively short, in about 10 seconds。
In addition, both are almost identical in terms of debundling, which automatically alerts when extraordinaryities are detected and is introduced to app. At the same time, the doorbells are tied to the corresponding cloud account number and the owner is untied and unable to re-use it, which is equivalent to “bricks” if stolen, which is not properly used. It's worth mentioning that tink zing has built the safesound transacting function, "lolly's second uncle," so you don't get scared even if one person is at home receiving delivery or delivery。
Interactive experience: accompanied by a little love classmate, more rich and more interesting by the zing-zero interactive experience
In terms of interactive experience, 360 bells can talk to your visitors remotely via video, and when visitors ring the bell, your app cell phone will ring and listen; and a zing-zing visitor does not think about the call, but there will be a tip, and a click will be a video call. At the same time, when you're not at home and you have a delivery, you can get a reply and sign a delivery through the 360 camera app。
Both products incorporate face recognition techniques that can be intelligently identified as family, friends, couriers or strangers. In contrast, the biggest feature of tinker bell is its ability to connect to young lovers, and we can connect the ringing bells directly to young lovers on the phone without the need for indoor receivers. At the same time, we can also use the smartphones that are embedded in our little lovers to remind our children at home not to open the door to strangers, and the addition of safesound to the voice-changing function makes tinker bell more interesting。
Price comparison: tinker bell is a little cheap but 360 has a stronger hardware configuration
In terms of prices, the initial price of the 360 smart doorbell package is 299 and the official price is 349, while the initial price of the zero smart video doorbell is 199 and the official price is 249; the initial offer was $229 and the official offer was $299. Overall, zing zero is a few dozen dollars cheaper than 360, but 360 has a clear advantage in video clarity, visual angles, lithium batteries, etc。
Summary:
Overall, 360 has a higher video resolution, a broader perspective, a more stable wifi signal, a more environmentally friendly lithium battery at a cost of several dozen dollars, and almost identical experiences with app and safety; however, as tinker bell is an eco-chain product of millimetres, it is more interesting and interactive than 360. So if you're a rice powder and you have a little rice suit in your house, then naturally you choose a little bit better; if you want a better doorbell product experience, then 360 is obviously better。
