Multiple uses of CCTV surveillance cameras

We all know that security camera can be used to protect the safety of home property, but in fact, WiFi CCTV camera also has many other roles. If you are considering whether you need to buy a security camera, you can have a look at these various functions.

1. For gardens and fields

If you have a huge garden that you need to always keep an eye on it or you need to hire a guard to keep watching it, then to install a security camera has the much lower cost. Except for the high labor cost, one person is impossible to keep watching a place so long without any rest, they might want a nap sometimes. However, a camera can work for 24 hours without any rest. You can monitor your crop condition any time in case there is any problem. No need to worry about the rain or the snow, many of them are waterproof.

2. For kids and pets

With the advanced night monitoring mode and night infrared vision, the IP wireless security camera has the automatic detection function which will send alarm messages to your cellphone. When your baby is awake at night or your elder pets get hurt, it will remind you, so you don’t need to wake up like every 1 hour to check their safety.

3. For stores or hotels

The home security camera, in fact, can also be used in some commercial places such as some grocery stores and hotels passages as many of them are advanced enough to compete with the professional CCTV camera. Many wireless security cameras can be connected with your cellphone so that you can watch on your phone remotely.

4. For computers chatting cameras

As some considering manufacturers will offer you multi-platforms, so it can also be used as a computer camera installed on the laptop or on the desk.

If you want your security camera to be hidden better, some WiFi CCTV cameras are made like a bulb that no one will notice that it’s a camera. What else, you can DIY the hidden remote control spy camera to anywhere you want.

AI is increasingly powerful: AlphaGo Zero no longer needs human knowledge

How powerful is AlphaGo Zero?

l AlphaGo Lee, who had finished with 4: 1 victory over Li Shih-hong, was already the top level of the human chess community, but with AlphaGo Zero, the score was 100: 0.

l A few months ago, AlphaGo Master, who defeated Kejie at 3: 0 in Wuzhen becoming the world champion, also finished by AlphaGo Zero - winning rate up to 90%.

l There is no doubt that AlphaGo Zero is the strongest chess player in the world. Even more frightening is that AlphaGo Zero’ s growth entirely without human intervention.

Why is AlphaGo Zero so powerful?

October 18, 2017, DeepMind published a new paper in the "Nature" magazine, officially introducing to the world the latest version of AlphaGo - AlphaGo Zero, and called it the Final Version of AlphaGo.

AlphaGo Zero, using purely intensive learning (without the need for human samples or guidance, without any domain knowledge other than the basic rules, and purely intensive learning can be used to achieve beyond human level.) to self-chess, after each game, the neural networks and powerful search algorithm will combine, and the system performance will rise slightly. After constantly adjusting the chess path, AlphaGo Zero eventually be able to predict the opponent's action and Win.

AlphaGo Zero represents the significance of AI progress

AlphaGo Zero proves that, even in the most challenging areas, purely enhanced learning is also feasible. In addition, purely intensive learning methods only need to spend very little training time, but compared to the use of human data, to achieve a better asymptotic performance. In many cases, human data, especially expert data, are often too expensive or simply not available. AlphaGo Zero is completely independent of human data, and if similar technologies can be applied to other issues, these breakthroughs can have a very positive impact on society.

Therefore, the success of this system is also a big step towards the long-term goal of artificial intelligence research - to create an algorithm that achieves transcending human competence in the absence of human input. In the future, this result will be more cited in the AI field. In fact, high-tech robots are not far away from our daily life. In the modern society where the life speed is accelerating, AI products are also playing an important role in the housework area. Our rice cookers can be connected to the mobile phone APP to set the cook time in advance. In the hot summer, we can turn on the air conditioner through our smartphone in advance so you can enjoy the cool breeze the moment you arrived home. As to the floor cleaning, we have - the incredible Xiaomi Robot Vacuum Cleaner.

The Xiaomi Robot Vacuum Cleaner has the upgraded 2-in-1 sweep and mop cleaning technology. You can customize a specific cleaning area by connecting with the phone APP. Using the powerful self-learning skills like AlphaGo Zero, this highly intelligent robot can sweep while laser scanning, recording the size of the home, and then automatically plan the best cleaning route.

How smart you think an alarm clock can be?

Different from the old times, we can depend on lots of things to know the exact time now, such as our mobile phone, our smartwatch and so on. It’s understandable why we modern people concern so much about the exact time in this fast speed lifestyle nowadays as every single second counts. Have you ever imagined about the clock in the future?

In 2028, your clock is not still anymore, which means, they are movable. Everyone has their own clock with them. The clock will follow wherever you go and you can set it to be visible only to you. You can also mark lots of reminders and set your schedule, so the clock will remind you to do something before your set time in case some important things will be forgotten.

Alright, the above story is just my ridiculous imagination, probably will only happen in my dream. However, it’s true that there are some alarm clocks that have been so smart with lots of different features. For example, the Bluetooth speaker alarm clock, which is a 5 in 1 multi-functional clock.

1. Bluetooth wireless speaker

It will be so boring if your clock can only play one sound all the times. This Bluetooth alarm clock speaker can connect most of the portable devices with Bluetooth like your iPhone or other smartphones. It will connect the Bluetooth automatically, which is very convenient to use. Who doesn't want your alarm clock wake you up with your favorite melody? That means, you can also save some money and space instead of purchasing another music player. Some people get used to play music by the music player through the Bluetooth Jack receiver to connect with their cellphone. Now, I offer you another option.

2. FM radio

No need to surprise that this Bluetooth speaker alarm clock can also take place of your old heavy radio. With anti-interference ability, it supports automatic searching and station storage.

3. Card player

Another function that you might never thing an alarm clock will own - this alarm clock has a TF card slot so you can use it as a card player.

4. Phone speaker

So you can also use it to talk with your friends! How amazing! Sometimes you’re so lazy that you just want to lay on your bed but your cell phone ring, this time you don’t have to leave your bed to get your cell phone.

5. Alarm clock

The time will be shown on the LED screen, so you can see the time clearly even in dark room which is convenient and practical.

There are still lots of fun gadgets about the clock that I want to share, such as the DIY clock parts which you can DIY your own ideal clock to replace the old one.

Follow these 10 rules then you know how to pick the right home projector (part2)

Sixth: Lumen

A lumen is a unit that describes the brightness.

Lumens 500: probably only in the completely dark state to watch.

Lumens in the range of 1000-2000: cover by the curtains during the day, no light to watch.

Lumens above 3000: it is basically bright enough.

In fact, under low light, the projector 800 lumens has been able to meet the needs. Therefore, in the selection of the projector, the choice of lumens in the 800-2000 range is enough for basic use.

Seventh: Contrast

Contrast determines the number of colors that the screen can recognize, and is the key to seeing more detail on the screen. Usually, when the resolution reaches 1080p, the contrast has a greater impact than the resolution. So, when you buy a projector, you should choose the product with the highest possible contrast within your budget.

Eighth: Noise

The noise is very easy to overlook. So, when buying a projector, try to be in a relatively quiet environment to listen carefully. In general, products with a noise of 40 dB or less are acceptable.

Ninth: Understand the interface type

1. Color difference terminal: The color difference terminal is the most commonly used high-quality signal terminal

2. S terminal and AV terminal (composite terminal): S terminal transmission is different from AV terminal, it will be the brightness and chrominance signal separation, get better image quality.

3. DVI interface: DVI interface is designed for high bandwidth, all-digital signal design interface, will become the HDTV set-top box standard interface. There will be more and more projectors with a DVI interface in the future.

4. HDMI interface: HDMI interface is a high-speed digital interface, you can simultaneously transmit video, multi-channel audio, and HDCP copyright information. For example, we have HDMI to Thunderbolt or computer adapter. What’s more, if you want to connect your iPhone to your projector, you can use the iPhone HDMI adapter.

In conclusion, the HDMI type is still the most popular interface type and most convenient to use.

Tenth: Portability

Live demonstration with the projector more and more popular, obviously, the smaller the volume, the lighter the weight of the projector, the better portability. So if you need to take your projector with you sometimes, it’s recommended to purchase a mini portable projector, although looks small, still has the high-quality picture.

Follow these 10 rules then you know how to pick the right home projector (part 1)

First: Before buying a projector, we must know the difference between a commercial projector and a home projector.

1. The commercial projector has different positioning and application environment between the home projectors greatly. The lumens of commercial machines are higher than household appliances as the commercial places are relatively bright. If the brightness of the projector is not enough, it’s hard to see it clearly, but if the brightness is too high, the screen is easy to distort.

2. The contrast of the commercial machine is much worse than that of the home machine.

3. Picture scale and resolution. 4: 3 narrow screen ratio in commercial occasions is still very common, the resolution of the general is up to 720P. However, the home projector is usually 16: 9 widescreen picture and the mainstream models of the resolution has been popular to 1080P, and more sophisticated 4K has begun to develop.

In conclusion, there is no need that we pay a lot of money for an expensive commercial projector as it’s not suitable for personal use. A good cheap home projector is enough.

Second: How much area I need to use the projector?

Because of the principle of projection, the projector needs a certain distance to project a large picture. Each projection of the projector varies depending on the parameters of the lens, but in most cases, about 4 meters can be cast 100 ~ 120 inches large screen.

Third: Black level capability

Among the several elements that affect the quality of the picture, the black bit ability means a lot: in the black place, to be completely black, can not be replaced as dark gray and the details can be seen at the same time. This indicator directly determines the contrast and also has a direct impact on the color saturation.

Forth: Projector resolution

Common resolutions are as follows:

SVGA: 800x600 economic projector common resolution

XGA: 1024x768 mainstream business and educational projector resolution

SXGA +: 1400x1050 image-oriented high-end professional applications such as high-end projector resolution

480p: 852x480 low-end home projector

720p: 1280x720 mid-range home projector

1080p: 1920x1080 high-end home projector

Therefore, the general 720p and 1080p resolution projector at home are more appropriate to use. I bet there is high-quality cheap HDMI projector in the market now.

Fifth: Service life

When purchasing the projector, we have to pay attention to the service life, because the life of the projector is generally much shorter than the TV. The life of the projector is generally around four years. But the projector's bulb will be generally broken around a year or two. So when you choose the projector, pay attention to its warranty period as well as after-sales service. Or maybe a WiFi display HDMI adapter will be also useful. 

The mechanical keyboard or the wireless WiFi keyboard?

If you are going to purchase a new keyboard, you must realize that there are two developing trend in the keyboard industry - the traditional mechanical keyboard and the wireless WiFi keyboard. Then you must wonder which one is better.

The answer is - the most suitable one is the best one for you. These two kinds of keyboards have different features and thus are designed for different people.

1. The mechanical keyboard

Mechanical keyboards are gamers’ favorites. Use the KBC Poker 2 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard as an example. The Poker 2 is a great keyboard for gaming and typing as it is equipped with Cherry MX Blue Switches, so this tenkeyless size mechanical keyboard will up your game and reduce the finger strain caused by rubber dome keyboards. So a great quality mechanical keyboard will improve your type speed and touch feeling so that you can play games or work better. In a word, mechanical keyboard focuses on the touch experience.

By the way, you can use the mechanical keyboard switch tester to test if your mechanical tester is good enough. Please allow 1-3cm error due to manual measurement, but the mechanical keyboard switch tester is precise enough for amateurs. The switch tester kit not only includes the switch tester, but also the switches and keycaps.

2. The WiFi keyboard

WiFi keyboard is more convenient to use than the traditional one. Use the K8 Mini PC With WiFi Keyboard as an example. The WiFi keyboard of this TV box is of such high quality that it’s waterproof, mute and foldable, so it’s very convenient to take anywhere you go. If you need to travel a lot, or you need to work outside, this one is more suitable. In a word, WiFi wireless keyboard focuses on convenience and weight.
