松下KX-HNC800BFull HD Home Monitoring Camera Review

如果您想确保房屋安全，没有比家庭安全摄像机更好的投资了。如果您一直在关注我们，您会知道，高质量安全摄像机的选择既易于使用又可靠。但事实是，安全摄像机行业处于一个转折点。技术的最新发展意味着较新的模型提供了前所未有的质量水平，而较旧的模型则相对令人失望。

That’s why we’ve been working our way through the best-selling products to help you find models that are worth your time and money. When we came across the松下KX-HNC800BHome Monitoring Camera, we knew that we’d found something special. What sets it apart from the crowd is the inclusion of features that extend its functionality. This is not just a camera that can keep your home safe, but something that can be used for many different purposes. Let’s take a look and see how it performs.

First Look

Panasonic is a well-known manufacturer of consumer electronics for all types of purposes. From the first time you set eyes on the Panasonic KX-HNC800B, you’ll catch a glimpse of their classic, sleek design. The camera itself is a compact pillar shaped unit that’s conveniently mounted to a circular stand. This stand can be adjusted, so you can place it anywhere you like. For us, the appearance of this camera is the perfect combination of modern and classic. It’s not so ultra-stylish that it draws unnecessary attention to itself, but still has an ‘up-to-date’ appeal about it. It will blend in to the décor of any home, making it a great choice for any consumer.

连接性

This Panasonic KX-HNC800B is designed to sync up with your mobile life. Thanks to the included Wi-Fi connectivity, you’ll be able to access the locally stored information from anywhere in the world. For most users, this will take place through the 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi. Over top of the network, the camera is maintaining the connection with Panasonic’s proprietary Home Network Systems app.

该应用程序允许出色的压缩和交通形状，因此您可以处理大量设备或大量相机。无论是您的笔记本电脑，台式机还是松下家用自动化系统，每个设备都可以支持高达32台摄像机。每个摄像头可以连接到总共8个设备，从而为它们提供实时更新和通知。如果您想流式传输视频，那么3个设备可以同时流式传输，而不会降低视频质量。

Unlike many other cameras, data is not stored on the cloud. This means that your video will truly be live, instead of the delay you often get with cloud services. Local storage is in the form of a MicroSD card, which can store a little over 1 hour of full HD video per GB of storage. For maximum storage space, you can install up to 128GB in the camera, recording a surprising 145 hours of high quality video.

值得注意的是，这款相机不是完全无线的。它具有许多强大的功能，并要求它插入120V插座。他们为您提供的绳索很长，因此您仍然可以将其设置为您想要的任何地方。

视频Quality

在大多数情况下，您将需要以全高清模式使用Panasonic KX-HNC800B。这意味着2.0百万像素传感器将以每秒30帧的平滑帧制作令人惊叹的视频。它的焦距为0.20万，您可以在8英寸到无穷大的任何地方完美的关注点。这种类型的镜头非常适合安全应用程序，因为您永远不会有任何超出范围或模糊的东西。

但是，相机给我们留下的印象是颜色复制。Panasonic在市场上有许多数码相机，很明显，设计团队参与其中。图像传感器具有非常高的动态范围。这意味着，在某些摄像机会显示出黑暗的空白空间或明亮的平坦光线的地方，该相机可以处理光线的急剧变化并捕获其周围区域的每个细节。

The camera has a 142-degree wide-angle lens, making it perfect for use indoors. It’s always hard to find a balance between image quality and video coverage, but Panasonic hit this nail on the head. 180 degree cameras are what they call ‘fisheye’ lenses. In order to fit all of this information into a square frame, the light needs to be bent quite a bit. This makes for an awkward ‘bubble’ shape that many are not fond of. But high quality 142-degree glass lens used in this Panasonic camera is perfectly straight, so it’s very easy to make out what’s going on in frame.

当变黑时，典型的图像传感器无法再出任何明确的功能。这既有IR LED和IR切割过滤器，可在白天去除红外光线。一旦变黑，过滤器就会关闭，并打开灯。这使您的总可见范围约为17英尺。虽然这不是我们评论过的最强大的夜视摄像机，但对于室内环境来说，这远远不足。

环境监测

With most of the cameras we review, they’re set up to do just one thing – provide a video feed of a certain area. But it’s clear that Panasonic had much more planned for this handy little camera. One of the first ways they improved the design was with a high-quality microphone. This is an omni-directional unit, similar to what you’d use for an office teleconference. This means that it can pick out sound from anywhere in the office, turning even the most minute peeps into crystal clear recordings.

But there is one thing that this camera has that we’ve never seen before. It includes a temperature sensor as part of its environmental monitoring system. You can set this sensor to ping you alerts in the event a room gets too hot or too cold. This is great for use in a nursery, or for looking after your pets when you’re out of the house.

Security Options

您可以从手机中选择几种可以在安全应用程序中改善此相机功能的不同选项。我们建议打开的第一个是预先录制。相机是由运动传感器触发的，但通常可以延迟半秒。预录制可以通过在传感器触发之前自动保存视频来减轻这种风险。始终，将两秒钟的视频保存在卡上。如果没有触发传感器，将被删除。但是，如果触发了传感器，则将在保存之前保存两个秒。这似乎是一个次要功能，但事件发生了巨大的影响。

您还可以设置将自动调整设置的几种不同的“模式”之一。“ Away-Arm”是当您不在屋子外面并想记录发生的任何事情时。您会收到一条很大的通知，很难错过。您还拥有“在家 - 手臂”模式。这是类似的，但是如果有活动，只会使用标准通知。最后，除非您专门选择它，否则“在家”模式关闭所有录制功能。

Final Words

虽然松下KX-HNC800B是设备的一部分,有一个好的原因吗we selected it. The camera works perfectly fine on its own. It has some of the best video we’ve seen, and the privacy filter is a nice additive to have when you’re using it indoors. As long as you have a smartphone, you can take advantage of everything this camera has to offer.

If you’re looking to create a more complete home security system, we’d recommend a few small additions. The first thing you’ll want to grab is thePanasonic Hub Unitfor their home monitoring system. This lets you interconnect all of the devices, and keeps their settings synced. Then, you’ll want to add the室内智能警报器. Now, whenever you’re set to “away” and somebody tries to get into your home, you’ll have a proper alarm that you can disable with your smartphone. If the smartphone disable is a little much to coordinate, it can also be controlled by the访问键盘.

这三个项目可以与您想要的尽可能多的摄像机结合使用，这就是该系统的美感。如果您只想要在跑步商店时会密切关注孩子的东西，那么您需要一台相机。但是，您始终可以选择以最少的投资升级到该高级安全系统。

The only thing we weren’t particularly fond of was the pet monitoring feature. There is certainly nothing wrong with it, but if that’s your goal we’d recommend that you instead purchase thePetcube Play.
