What I found out by creating a monitoring system with a low -priced network camera "Atom CAM" + Echo Show including tax: Masahiro Yamaguchi's smart speaker living (page 1/2)
Atom Tech's web camera "Atom CAM" has been gaining popularity since its launch due to its low price.Although it is a reasonable price of 2500 yen (including tax and shipping) at the company's direct sales, it covers the basic functions provided by general network cameras, and the cost performance is outstanding.
This atom CAM is compatible with voice assistant "Amazon Alexa", and can be monitored in real time in combination with the smart display "Echo Show" series.I checked the usability using the actual machine.
フルHD（1920×1080ピクセル）対応のアトムテック「ATOM Cam」（左）。今回は8型のディスプレイを備えた「Echo Show 8」（右）と組み合わせて検証したNetwork camera with a high degree of freedom to adjust angle
This product is a network camera with a square -shaped body.By putting a dedicated application in your smartphone and setting around Wi-Fi, you can watch the video from the smartphone app.It is a domestic product, and the sound during the setup is Japanese and easy to understand.
Personally, the high degree of freedom to adjust the angle in the up and down direction.This product has a structure in which the legs connecting the body and the pedestal extend and contract, and can be extended only when necessary and can change the angle in the upper and lower direction.Low -priced network cameras often have difficulty shooting downwards than horizontal, but this product is not the case.
In addition, a magnet is attached to the back of the pedestal, and the fact that it is strongly attached to the steel surface is also increased the degree of freedom of installation.
製品本体。サイコロ状のボディーが特徴だ。サイズは約50（幅）×50（奥行き）×56（高さ）mmで、重量は約109g、無線LANは2.4GHz帯を利用する折りたたみ式の脚を伸ばすことで、角度を変更できる下方向にも向けられるため天井や壁面に取り付けなくとも、棚の上などから見下ろすアングルで設置可能だ横方向に回転させることもできる。ちなみに台座にはマグネットを内蔵し、スチール面への吸着も行える台座を伸ばした状態。アームタイプの製品と違い、畳んでおけるのは利便性が高い電源ケーブルはmicroUSBタイプだ。上部のUSB Type-Aポートは、本製品をWebカメラとして使う時に用いるWhat should be noted in functional aspects is that it supports 14 -day cloud recording besides recording to Microsd cards.In the case of cloud recording, the record up to that point remains on the cloud, even if the camera itself loses due to theft or disaster.Many cloud recording is a monthly fee, but this product can be used for free, even if it is 12 seconds per clip (up to 14 days).A big advantage.
In addition to this product, in addition to motion detection and sound detection, it also has a unique function to detect a fire alarm siren and fly alerts.Of course, it also covers the functions that can be considered with a network camera, such as supporting night vision.
At first glance, if you dare to feature a function that this unit is not provided, it is only a punchy operation from a smartphone, but in addition to the security side, it may be a bottleneck, but even from Alexa.Since it is not available (details will be described later), it will not necessarily be a disadvantage.

The setting for viewing the video of this product from Echo Show is very easy.The Alexa app is introduced on the Alexa app, and the coordination is set up, and then the detection is performed from the Alexa app.When the cooperation with the smartphone is completed, 60-70 % of the entire process are over, and it is convenient to not have to set it from scratch.
