We continue with the analysis of home automation and IoT devices designed to make your life as easy as possible, that's what we like at Actualidad Gadget and we know that it is precisely what you like the most, that's why we bring it. Grab your seat, because today's review may leave you speechless.
As always, we will analyze your strengths and of course your weaknesses. We also accompany this analysis with a video so you can see how it works in action. We analyze the SPC Visum, an intelligent video intercom designed so that you can complete the home automation of your home to the maximum, get to know it with us.
We have looked at more IoT products in general in recent months, That is why we recommend that you go through our reviews section in case you have missed something. In the same way I have to tell you, the video that leads this analysis is the best way to see if the product is really as interesting as it seems, since we see it in operation, so we recommend that you go through it first and then complete it with this written analysis. If you are interested in the SPC Visum, you can buy it at the best price at THIS LINKLet's go with the analysis.
Materials and design
We start as always with the exterior, what we see as soon as we take this SPC Visum out of the package. We find a video intercom that is quite compact and surprises us, any intercom with a camera is more bulky, although perhaps thinner, yes. We have the following dimensions: 6,6 x 13,5 x 3,8 cm, accompanied by the doorbell that plugs directly into any network point, which is quite compact 4,5 x 7 x 6,5 cm, it is definitely not bulky. In terms of weight we have 262 grams for the video intercom and 53 grams for the doorbell, They are not particularly heavy products either, I would say that the batteries included in the video intercom are the heaviest of the package.
They are built in black plastic, We have in the package everything you need, from plugs to screws and bits to install the video intercom on the wall, it is true that it can be relatively easy to steal, but no more than any video intercom. On the front we have the camera with the motion sensor and the infrared LEDs that will allow us, among other things, to take advantage of night vision. In the lower center is a rounded button with an LED arc that lights up when movement is detected and that basically serves to ring the bell.
Technical characteristics
Well, we start with the camera, the most important thing. We have a sensor capable of recording at HD resolution, that is, 720p. The recording resolution will be 1280 x 720 and we can also take pictures with the same sensor. This is more than enough considering that we have a total viewing angle of 166 degrees diagonally, while the horizontal remains standard. The question of storage is left to an 8 GB microSD card that is included in the package although we can change it for any microSD that we always want with a maximum storage of 32 GB in total.
We have a motion sensor that will activate the camera if we wish to illuminate the push button LED, resistance to dust and water, two speakers and night vision of up to six meters. We can talk little more about the purely technical characteristics of this SPC Visum, but it is worth remembering that the package includes a bag of screws, two USB to microUSB cables and a quick guide to use, accompanied by the drill bit and the necessary plugs for put the SPC Visum directly on the wall that we deem appropriate.
Configuration and usage tests
The configuration is simple, the first thing we have to do is plug the doorbell where we want it to sound, the closer to the video intercom, the faster it is. Once we have done this, we are going to download the SPC IoT (iOS) (Android) application and we will simply press the reset button for six seconds to see that the LED blinks, then we will click on "+" to add the SPC Visum and we will see how In a matter of seconds when we introduce the key of WiFi (only 2,4 GHz networks) it connects fully automatically and quickly, this is an advantage of the SPC range of IoT products.
Once connected we have direct access to all its features from the application, this is a very interesting advantage. The recording result is good even in poor lighting conditions, although having night vision is not going to be a problem. In the analysis we have not experienced connection problems at distances from the router close to 10 meters, but we imagine that an excess in the distance could even cause disconnections. We have two batteries included, so we could do without wiring, although personally I would take advantage of the connections to give it permanent access and not have to go charging.
Recording capabilities and editor's opinion
Through the application we will be able to speak directly to the video door entry unit through a double speaker, in the same way we will be able to make recordings, screenshots and even access the recordings stored on the memory card, These recordings will be stored in a loop and will be erased to make room for the new ones, but we can access them directly and if we want to download them to our mobile device, this would help us with security matters. But the most relevant thing is that with the mobile notifications we will be able to answer the doorman quickly and wherever we are.
Pros
- Ease of setup and installation
- The possibilities of the application
- The price is lower than the competition
Cons
- Some materials are quite fair
- On Android, streaming can sometimes fail
We are facing a product full of features and that costs 119 euros, It is the cheapest smart video intercom that I have been able to find on the market, it is clear that it is not the most difficult to steal or the best built, but adapting to the price, this SPC Visum cannot be asked for more than it offers. You can buy it on Amazon or on your own Web page through this link. If you have any questions about this SPC Visum, do not hesitate to ask us on Twitter (@gadget) or in the comment box.
