"Home Network Camera" Recommended 4 selections of families and pets, and check out video with smartphones [2020 latest version]

　A network camera that allows you to check the video of the camera from your smartphone or computer via the Internet is used for a variety of purposes, such as a family living away, a pet during your answering machine, watching over the babies and crime prevention.

　Many products are sold, as the Wi-Fi environment has become popular at home.Therefore, this time, I will introduce the points and recommended products when choosing a network camera.

Select a waterproof model if it is installed outdoors

　The first thing I want to check when choosing a network camera is that the installation location is outdoors.If it is installed outdoors, it is necessary to select a product with a waterproof function with a waterproof function so that it does not lose to the weather.

　For example, the "IP67 equivalent" described in the product description is an indicator indicating waterproof performance, etc., and the first digit number represents waterproof performance.The higher the number, the higher the performance, but 5 or more will be enough.By the way, the highest is 8.

　When installing indoors, it is not necessary to stick to waterproofing, but if it is installed in a low position to take a pet expression, or in a place where water or condensation occurs, the waterproof function is used just in case.It is safer to choose the product you have.

The points are "pixels" and "view angle"

　If you are looking for a network camera, some products will be about 300,000 pixels, but now 2 million pixel classes are recommended.With this much, it is possible to shoot with a full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels), and it is said that it is sufficient to distinguish the face for crime prevention purposes, so it will be more than 2 million pixels.

　Basically, the network camera with a fixed range is the point of the viewing angle (angle of view).If the viewing angle is wide, you can shoot a wide area with one unit, so it is suitable for checking the shooting target such as pets.However, since the shooting target is small, if you want to check your expressions, etc., a product with a narrow viewing angle is more suitable.If you want to take a wider range or want to look further, you can prepare multiple cameras or choose a product with a swing function or zoom function.

Check the functions that can be taken at night or in dark rooms

　Of course for security, it is convenient to have a night vision mode when watching over the closed rooms at night.Depending on the product, the call is different, such as "infrared shooting" and "day and night mode", but it is a function that can use infrared rays to shoot monochrome photography even in dark places.

　You can shoot and check in a dark room, such as the babies you sleep and the pets at midnight.

　Most products are supported, but make sure that you don't have to respond if you buy them.

There are also ways to use automatic feeding machines and web cameras with cameras

　A little unusual, some products have a network camera function in the automatic pet bait machine.You can feed while checking the state of the pet with a video from your smartphone.

　It can also be used as a security camera.By installing a dedicated software on your computer, you can record the video or check it on your smartphone from the go.Software is free, so you can get a network camera function cheaply.However, it is necessary to keep the computer running.
