The simplest video chat tool Xiaoyu accompany robot experience at home

With the help of technology, being able to see the scenes at home at any time has become something that many modern people desire to achieve.

Recently, a smart hardware product shaped like a classic iMac - "Xiao Yu at Home" was launched. It is positioned as an intelligent companion robot.

This time we are experiencing the "Little Fish at Home Spring Festival Special Edition", so the product packaging is very festive.

There are quite complete protection measures inside the package, so there is no need to worry about the product being damaged during transportation.

The packaging of "Little Fish at Home" does not contain much. In addition to the machine host and power supply, there is only an instruction manual.

Seen from the side, the overall shape of Xiaoyu at Home is very similar to iMac G4. The white body with some metal parts is also a typical Apple style. Of course, Xiaoyu at Home does not have a mouse or keyboard.

The adjustable metal stand looks very sturdy.

The camera on the top is the key component for Xiaoyu to achieve remote video communication at home.

The speaker of Xiaoyu Home is set on the back. In terms of interface arrangement, in addition to the power interface, there is also a standard USB interface.

The base of the Xiaoyu Home is equipped with a color-changing indicator light, but such a large light area is still a bit dazzling when used in a dark environment. There is only one switch button on the whole machine, and the black origin point below the screen indicates that there is a sensor here.

Although Xiaoyu at Home is an Android-based smart device, the operation process is very simple and all unnecessary elements have been simplified. You need to connect to a wireless network when you turn it on for the first time. It is worth mentioning that Xiaoyu at Home has a 9.6-inch high-definition screen with a resolution of 1280×800, and the clarity is quite good.

Xiaoyu at Home needs to be used with the mobile phone App to realize the video function. After downloading by scanning the QR code, you need to register using your mobile phone number.

Adding devices is also done by scanning QR codes. From the mobile app interface, one account can support multiple devices.

Video calls are the main function of Xiaoyu at home. Considering the operation of the elderly in the family, the function is simple and convenient.

On the mobile phone, we call the Xiaoyu at Home host by swiping, and on the touch screen of the host, there is only a big button for the contact to click to call.

The call interface is not much different from the general mobile phone dialing. Xiaoyu at Home also supports automatic recording of home videos, which needs to be completed in the interface settings function.

The video call interface is similar to general online chat software, supporting functions such as sound switch, screenshot, recording, camera switching, etc. The disc on the right side of the interface is used to adjust the screen and camera direction of the Xiaoyu at Home host.

In terms of usage effect, network delay is almost negligible, video quality is also excellent, and there is still room for improvement in sound processing.

That’s right, the screen of the Xiaoyu at Home host can rotate autonomously. We can also see in the system’s setting options that it supports automatic face tracking function, making it really hard not to be seen.

After comprehensive experience, the biggest highlight of Xiaoyu at Home is its facial recognition, 360-degree rotating camera, simple appearance and easy operation. At the same time, Xiaoyu at Home is a relatively smart home product, which can be mainly used in family scenes where parents are not around, for real-time communication, including video and audio communication, and can also be used when children are not around, to observe children all the time and communicate with them via video, or more extended considerations, it can be used in social scenes such as video conferencing, medical care, and online video.
