A novelty from Aqara is a smart video call. Recognizes faces and movement, sends push notifications, supports two-way communication, works in automation with other Aqara devices.
How it works
The video call has two modules: external and internal. So that you can see who came to you, a camera is installed on the call. The video resolution is 1080p, and the viewing angle is 160° diagonally.
The camera will work even if there is no light in the stairwell — due to the built-in IR illumination. A speaker and microphone are also built into the external module.
The internal module has a built-in speaker. And you can talk to guests through your smartphone.
Both modules support a custom ringtone. Upload your ringtone or voice recorder to play on one or both modules. Guests will be pleased if they hear your greeting in response to the doorbell.
Smart video call supports „HomeKit Protected Video“.
When no one is home
You can answer the doorbell from anywhere in the world. This will give the impression that you are at home, and intruders will not enter the house. You can also add the faces of your household and configure sending notifications if an unfamiliar face is recognized.
Maintaining confidentiality
Set up a voice change when answering a call. There are three options to choose from: a man, a clown and a robot. This is useful to create an adult presence at home if the child is left alone at home.
The privacy of the neighbors will also be protected if you set the masking areas. You can block 3 designated areas on the screen. For users living in apartment buildings, this feature is most relevant.
Features in the app
In the application, you can configure the activation and deactivation of the call functions. For example, you can enable sending notifications to your smartphone if someone is trying to make out a call from outside or the temperature outside is very high or very low.
You can change the ringtone to your own, adjust the volume of the doorbell signal, set the silent mode for a certain time so that you are not disturbed at night or during the day when the baby is sleeping.
You can also add faces to the app that will be automatically recognized
Automation*
Install a smart light bulb in the entrance and set it to turn on when the bell sensor detects movement.
When leaving the house, using the master button or another switch, you can turn off all the lights in the house, and from that moment the face recognition function will turn on.
You can also install automation, in case you have a multi-room apartment. For example, with one click of a button, you will launch a voice message for a visitor. For example: „I’m at home and I’ll open the door soon.“
Device power supply
The external unit can be powered in different ways: from the mains or from batteries. You can also use both — in case the electricity is cut off. On a single battery charge, the call works for up to 4 months.
The indoor unit is connected to a 5V power supply via a Type-C port, or can be powered by an external battery.
