Presumably, friends who have anti-theft doors at home have installed peepholes. With the advent of the Internet of Things era, smart peepholes have also begun to enter our lives. According to Xiaoming’s evaluation, the difference between smart peepholes and ordinary peepholes is mainly: whether the device can pass through The network realizes remote monitoring, no matter where the user is, he can quickly get everything outside his home through his mobile phone.
Recently, Xiao Ming's evaluation on Taobao crowdfunding has detected that a crowdfunding price of 599 spotted cat S200 smart cat eye has exceeded the crowdfunding goal by 51 times. Why is this smart cat eye so popular? Let's take a look at the hands-on experience of Xiao Ming's evaluation.
Unboxing
Whether electronic products are good or not, you can know a little bit by looking at the packaging first. S200 is still adhering to the simple design of the spotted cat as always. This time, the silver logo and fonts are printed on the black packaging box, which looks full of science and technology and a sense of mystery. After opening the box, you can see the indoor host and the cat’s eye. In order to prevent accidental pressing on the product, the spotted cat also puts a layer of anti-collision sponge on the top of the box, which looks really intimate.
This indoor unit is equipped with a 5.0-inch IPS capacitive touch screen. It is understood that IPS screen is currently the world’s most advanced LCD technology, because the hard-screen LCD of IPS screen technology has a faster response speed and smoother motion pictures. The screen resolution is up to 1280*720P and the viewing angle is 178 degrees. Expand the user's field of vision, and the host comes with 4G memory, built-in eMMC chip storage.
The upper left corner of the main unit is the product logo, and there is only one control button at the bottom. The bottom is a type-c interface that supports fast charging. According to Xiaoming’s evaluation, the super fast charging speed (5V-3A) of this cat’s eye in the smart cat’s eye industry is Three times of similar products (5V-1A), the built-in 8000 mAh battery only needs more than 2 hours to fully charge, and the standby life is more than 150 days. If the normal household use is about 50 days, it can be charged once. There is a TF card expansion port next to the interface, and the memory card supports 32G, but the Dalmatian has a free cloud storage service that can realize remote downloading of pictures and videos, so there is generally no need to install a memory card.
The back of the main unit is the product identification code and the connection interface of the external unit, and the bottom is a magnet. The suction is quite large. It is worth noting that the connection interface has a small cover. After the external unit and the internal unit are connected, the cover needs to be covered to prevent accidental disconnection. .
The cat’s eye camera is equipped with a 500w camera and a 166-degree wide-angle camera to take pictures outside the door. The camera is designed at the center of the cat’s eye. Above the camera is a human motion detection sensor. When someone approaches, the doorbell button at the bottom will light up, prompting guests to press the doorbell. At the same time, it can also monitor the movement and stay of the human body at the door. It can automatically alarm by setting. The camera is surrounded by four security and other infrared sensors, which ensure the effect of taking pictures at night, and it is very clear without supplementary light. The back of the product is the connection strap and two screw holes, and the above prompts please screw on the screws first and then install through the cat's eye hole. When screwing the screws, you need to choose different lengths of screws according to the thickness of the door. The spotted cat also provides three different lengths of screws. for selection.
Installation
The first step of the installation is to screw the appropriate screws to the camera of the outside machine, and the second step is to remove the double-sided tape on the back and select the position of the peephole to fix it. Then fix the steel sheet bracket, remember that the cable can not be folded hard, and finally insert the cable into the hole of the indoor host, hang the host above the steel sheet, the bottom will be automatically adsorbed, and the operation will be completed in less than 3 minutes. And the fixing is very firm.

The next step is to turn on the computer, long press the button on the host, the screen lights up, showing that the Internet of Things products under the Dalmatian category include cat eyes, door locks, and Internet of Things switches. After jumping to the main interface, it prompts to connect to the wireless network. After connecting, it prompts to add a device to display the QR code. You can download it by scanning with WeChat. After downloading, you need to register and log in. Adding products is also very convenient.
You can see that the left side of the host screen is to adjust the light intensity, you can manually slide the light bar, and there are five buttons for photo, video, call, album, and settings below. Visitor record at the top right, clicking on the visitor record will display the most recent visitor information in a time stream. Click the setting button to jump to the system setting interface, and you can make daily settings for the host. In the sound settings, the spotted cat has added an AI cat’s eye audio this time. The default is the welcome home voice, but we can set a custom welcome message on the spotted cat app. If the spotted cat’s smart door lock is installed, the scene can also be carried out. Linked with face recognition to unlock, when the family came back to hear the customized welcome message, it was really warm and considerate.
After operating the indoor host, the first feeling is simplicity. I have to admire the unique UI design of the spotted cat. Even if there are elderly or children in the house, they can complete the setting operation independently.

Although Xiaoming has come into contact with several cat’s eyes before evaluation, it can also be remotely talked, but most of them need to press the button to send the voice. This time, the S200 can do it directly. Talk like a phone, while the host and outdoor unit can talk to each other without interference. In the storage space, the system provides 30 days of free cloud storage. If necessary, you can purchase 100 days or one year of cloud storage monitoring data.

Practice
The main function of the cat's eye is the eye, so we have to see how the S200 can see. In the daytime without any light adjustment, it can be seen that the photos taken by the 500w camera are still quite clear. At night, thanks to the blessing of four infrared night vision lights, the photos at night are also very natural and clear.
In terms of security, I set an alarm for staying for 1 minute. When there is a stranger staying at the door for more than 1 minute, the camera will automatically record for 10 seconds and transmit the information to the mobile phone. If someone breaks the cat’s eye, the system will also send out Alarm and automatically take photos and videos. When you are not at home, when someone rings the doorbell, you can also talk to the guests at the door just like answering the phone. If you are equipped with a spotted cat smart door lock, you can also unlock it remotely, which is indeed much more convenient.

This may be backed by the advantages of the first-class listed company Wanxing Technology, so whether it is in appearance design, software design, or from In terms of convenient installation, simple operation, and mature safety, the Spotted Cat S200 can indeed be called the superstar in the smart cat eye of the Internet of Things.
