Uma uthenga ngezixhumanisi zabathengisi kuwebhusayithi yethu, singase sithole amakhomishini ahambisanayo. I-100% yezimali esizikhokhisayo isetshenziselwa ukusekela umsebenzi wethu ongenzi nzuzo. funda kabanzi.
Kulula ukuqonda ukukhanga kwensimbi yomnyango yevidiyo: ungabona ukuthi iphakethe lizofika nini futhi uthole isikhumbuzi lapho othile elinde emnyango wakho. Ocwaningweni olusanda kwenziwa olumele izwe lonke olwenziwe yi-Consumer Reports, u-15% wabaphenduli bathi ikhaya labo linensimbi yomnyango yevidiyo, kanti u-52% uthe bazocabangela ukuyithenga.
"Izinsimbi zeminyango zevidiyo ezisebenza ngebhethri kulula kakhulu ukuzifaka - vele ushaje amabhethri bese uwafaka eduze komnyango wakho," kusho uBernie Deitrick, unjiniyela wokuhlola ikhamera yokuphepha ekhaya ka-CR. "Imodeli enezintambo eziqinile idinga umsebenzi owengeziwe futhi idinga ukulungiswa ukuze isebenze ngogesi."
Phakathi kwethu, mina noDeitrick sifake izinsimbi zeminyango zevidiyo ezingaphezu kuka-20. Silapha ukuzokutshela ukuthi yize ungakwenza lokhu wedwa, sibhekane nezinkinga eziningi ngokulandela imiyalelo yomenzi. Ngakho-ke, sihlanganise umhlahlandlela wesinyathelo ngesinyathelo wokufaka izinsimbi zeminyango zevidiyo ezisebenza ngebhethri neziqinile.
Ngaphambi kokuthenga insimbi yomnyango yevidiyo, sicela uhlole ukuthi ikhona yini insimbi yomnyango enezintambo eziqinile ekhaya lakho. Ungathenga uhlobo olufanayo lwensimbi yomnyango yevidiyo, ukuze uthole amandla aqhubekayo (esikhundleni sokushaja ibhethri). "Uma ungaqiniseki, indlela elula yokubona iwukukhumula insimbi yomnyango bese ubona ukuthi ixhunywe yini ezintanjeni ezimbili eziphuma odongeni," kusho uDeitrick.
Amanye amamodeli anezintambo eziqinile anikeza izinketho zokuxwayisa ngokunyakaza ezithuthukisiwe kakhulu kunamamodeli asebenzisa ibhethri, njengezindawo ezithile zokuqapha, ngakho-ke ungavimba ngokuzenzakalelayo izindawo (njengemigwaqo ematasa) futhi urekhode ngisho amahora angu-24 ngosuku, izinsuku eziyi-7 ngesonto. Uma ukhetha imodeli enezintambo eziqinile kodwa engenazintambo, ungaqasha ugesi ukuthi afake isekethe yensimbi yomnyango kanye nensimbi, noma uthenge i-adapter yamandla e-plug-in yensimbi yomnyango wakho. Amanye amabhrendi, njenge-Google Nest kanye ne-Ring, athengisa ama-adapter kagesi ezinsimbi zomnyango zawo. I-adapter yamandla angemva kokuthengisa ifanelekela cishe noma yimuphi umodeli. Kodwa khumbula, abakhiqizi bezinsimbi zomnyango abazincomi.
Nokho, izinsimbi zomnyango zevidiyo ezisebenza ngebhethri ngokuvamile zishibhile kunezinhlobo ezisebenzisa izintambo eziqinile, futhi noma ngabe unezintambo ezikhona kakade, ziseyindlela ongayikhetha. Ezinye izinsimbi zomnyango zevidiyo ezisebenza ngebhethri zineziphemulo zikagesi, ngakho-ke zingaxhunywa kuzintambo zomnyango wakho.
Vele, ngisho noma unalo mhlahlandlela, kufanele usafunde imiyalelo yokufaka ehambisana nensimbi yomnyango, njengoba lo modeli othile ungadinga izinyathelo ezengeziwe. Uma unganelisekile nganoma iyiphi ingxenye yenqubo yokufaka, ikakhulukazi noma yimuphi umsebenzi kagesi, sicela uqashe uchwepheshe.
Ukuze uthole usizo lokukhetha insimbi yomnyango yevidiyo yekhaya lakho, hlola izilinganiso zethu zamamodeli angu-19 ensimbi yomnyango yevidiyo kanye nomhlahlandlela wethu wokuthenga ikhamera yokuphepha ekhaya.
Isinyathelo 1: Shaja ibhethri lensimbi yomnyango Ngaphambi kokufaka insimbi yomnyango, sicela ushaje ibhethri lensimbi yomnyango ngokugcwele. Amamodeli amaningi, kufaka phakathi amanye avela ku-Ring kanye ne-Eufy, eza nekhebula le-micro USB ukuze ushaje ibhethri; kufanele ususe insimbi yomnyango odongeni njalo uma udinga ukuyishaja. Amanye ama-doorbell (njenge-Ring Video Doorbell 2) anamabhethri asuswayo angashintshwa noma asuswe ngaphandle kokuhlakaza insimbi yomnyango. Kuye ngemodeli kanye nenani lamarekhodi ensimbi yomnyango, impilo yebhethri ingahlala kusukela ngenyanga eyodwa kuya kweziyisithupha.
Isinyathelo 2: Faka insimbi yomnyango. Iningi lezinsimbi zomnyango zevidiyo liza ne-bracket yokufaka ongayilungisa ngaphandle kwekhaya lakho. Uma ufuna ukufaka insimbi yomnyango esitini, etsheni noma kukhonkolo, kungadingeka usebenzise ama-anchor akho akhethekile (noma anikeziwe) kanye nama-drill bits. Ngemva kokuba i-bracket yokufaka isimile kahle, faka insimbi yomnyango kuyo. Isinyathelo sokugcina esibalulekile: faka isikulufu sokuphepha esingena phansi kwensimbi yomnyango. Lezi zisebenzisa i-screwdriver ekhethekile eza nensimbi yomnyango ukuvimbela othile ukuthi antshontshe insimbi yomnyango.
Uma uhlala esakhiweni samafulethi noma endaweni eqashiswayo, kungcono ukucela imvume kumninindlu ngaphambi kokufaka insimbi yomnyango, ngoba angase angafuni ukuthi ungene ngaphandle kwesakhiwo.
Isinyathelo 3: Setha uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-doorbell Ukuze uthole ividiyo kusuka ku-doorbell efonini yakho, kuthebhulethi noma kukhompyutha, udinga ukulanda uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-doorbell kudivayisi bese usetha i-akhawunti yakho. Ngale hlelo lokusebenza, xhuma i-doorbell yakho kunethiwekhi yakho ye-WiFi yasekhaya. Uma unenkinga yokuxhuma i-doorbell noma ukubuka amavidiyo, ungadinga i-WiFi extender, engathuthukisa isignali ye-WiFi eduze kwe-doorbell. Lena inkinga evamile engiyihlangabezile ngoba izindonga zangaphandle zekhaya lami zingavimba isignali ye-WiFi. Amanye amabhrendi, njenge-Ring, anikeza izandiso ezingasebenza njengezingoma zokukhala ze-doorbell.
Ngemva kokuxhuma insimbi yomnyango, uzokwazi ukwenza ngezifiso izilungiselelo ngendlela othanda ngayo, njengokuzwela ukunyakaza (sebenzisa lesi silungiselelo ukuze izihlahla ezinyakazayo noma izimoto ezidlulayo zingabangeli ukuqoshwa), ukutholwa kwabantu, kanye nobude bokuqoshwa kwevidiyo. Ngokwami, ukuzwela ukunyakaza okuzenzakalelayo kuvame ukusethwa phezulu kangangokuthi yonke imoto edlulayo izothathwa, okungaba yinto ecasulayo uma uhlala emgwaqweni omatasa.
Imibiko Yabathengi incoma ukuthi kusebenze izilungiselelo zobumfihlo, njengokuqinisekiswa kwezinto ezimbili (amaphasiwedi esibili, athunyelwa kanye efonini yakho nge-SMS), uma engasetshenziswa ukuvimbela othile ekungeneni ngenkani ku-akhawunti yakho.
Isinyathelo 4: Faka bese usetha iringithoni yensimbi yomnyango. Amanye ama-video doorbell afika neringithoni ye-plug-in; uma ungenayo, kuzodingeka uyithenge. Uma othile esemnyango wakho, uhlelo lokusebenza olusefonini yakho luzokhala i-alamu, kodwa uma unezivakashi, abanye abantu endlini yakho bazokwazi ngeringithoni ehlukile.
Ngemva kokufaka iringithoni, landela imiyalelo yokusetha kuhlelo lokusebenza lwe-doorbell. Ngokuvamile, udinga nje ukuyixhuma ku-WiFi yakho bese uyihlanganisa ne-doorbell yakho. Iqiniso elijabulisayo: ezinye zalezi zinsimbi zinikeza imisindo eyahlukahlukene, kusukela ku-"ding dong" ejwayelekile kuya ezingomeni zamaholide, ngisho nezimpisi ezikhalayo ze-Halloween noma ama-turkey adla i-Thanksgiving, ungazishintsha kalula lezi kumsindo wohlelo lokusebenza.
Isinyathelo 1: Thola bese uvala i-circuit breaker ye-doorbell ekhona. Ukuvala i-circuit breaker enika amandla i-doorbell kuzokuvumela ukuthi uphathe izintambo ngokuphephile. Uma ungaqiniseki ukuthi iyiphi i-circuit breaker evulwe yi-doorbell, zama ukuyivala ngayinye bese ubona ukuthi i-doorbell isakhala yini uma ucindezela i-doorbell. Uma i-doorbell ingakhali, une-circuit breaker efanele.
Isinyathelo 2: Thola futhi uhlole i-transformer yakho yensimbi yomnyango. Ufuna ukuqinisekisa ukuthi i-transformer yakho inikeza i-voltage efanele yensimbi yakho yomnyango entsha yevidiyo, ngokuvamile ingama-volts angu-16 kuya kwangu-24. Uma iphansi kakhulu (ngaphansi kwama-volts angu-16), awekho amandla anele okwenza insimbi yomnyango isebenze. Uma iphakeme kakhulu (ngaphezu kwama-volts angu-24), ingase ilayishe ngokweqile futhi yonakalise insimbi yomnyango.
Ukuze uthole i-transformer, vula ibhokisi lensimbi yomnyango bese uzama ukulandelela indawo yentambo exhunywe ku-"trans" terminal. (Uma ungaqiniseki ukuthi insimbi yomnyango ikhala kuphi, sicela uvule i-circuit breaker futhi, cindezela insimbi yomnyango, bese ulandela insimbi. Khumbula ukuvala i-circuit breaker uma usuqedile.) Uma ingasebenzi, uDeitrick utusa ukuhlola eduze kwe-circuit breaker ngenxa ye-transformer. Ivame ukufakwa lapho. Ungabheka futhi izingxenye ezingakaqedwa zendlu yakho, njengezikhala zokukhasa kanye nezindlu ezingaphansi lapho ama-transformer ngezinye izikhathi efihliwe khona.
I-transformer yakho kufanele ibe nophawu olufana no-"16-24V AC" olubonisa i-voltage. Uma ungaboni zimpawu, hlola i-voltage nge-multimeter (20 kuya ku-40 USD). Uma i-voltage ye-transformer idlula ububanzi obungu-16 kuya ku-24, kumele ishintshwe. Ungathenga i-transformer entsha (cishe u-US$20) esitolo sehadiwe, bese uxhuma kabusha izintambo ze-transformer endala kuma-terminal afanele ku-transformer entsha, noma ungaqasha uchwepheshe kagesi.
Isinyathelo 3: Hlola bese uxhuma kabusha insimbi yakho yomnyango. Susa isembozo sensimbi (kungase kudingeke ususe izikulufu) bese ubheka ngaphakathi ukuze ubone ukuthi ingabe insimbi yomshini noma insimbi yedijithali. Iwashi lomshini linesando esincane, futhi noma nini lapho ucindezela insimbi yomnyango, lizoshaya insimbi yangempela. Amawashi edijithali empeleni ayizipikha ezincane ezidlala izingoma. Lesi sinyathelo sibalulekile ngoba sizonquma ukuthi yini okudingeka uyenze ukuze insimbi entsha yomnyango ikhale insimbi ekhona.
Uma uneringithoni yedijithali, kungadingeka ufake i-diode ekhethekile ekugcineni kwentambo exhunywe ku-doorbell, njenge-Ring Video Doorbell 2. (Intambo exhuma iringithoni ne-doorbell ivame ukubizwa ngokuthi "ngaphambili.") Ezinye izibhebhe zeminyango zevidiyo, njenge-Google Nest Hello kanye ne-Ring Video Doorbell Pro, ziza ne-adaptha ekhethekile okudingeka uyifake ku-ringtone uqobo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iringithoni i-Mechanical noma i-digital. Kumelwe uhlole imiyalelo ukuze uqonde ukuthi yini edingwa yi-video doorbell yakho.
Isinyathelo 4: Susa insimbi yomnyango ekhona. Khulula insimbi yomnyango ekhona ngaphandle kwendlu, bese unqamula izintambo ezisemaphethelweni amabili ngemuva kwensimbi yomnyango. Uma wenza lokhu, qiniseka ukuthi izintambo aziweli odongeni, kungenjalo kuzoba nzima ukuzisusa. Ngicishe ngalahlekelwa yizo zintambo izikhathi ezimbalwa; Ekugcineni ngafunda ukunamathelisa izintambo odongeni ngenkathi ngisebenza. Uma intambo imfushane kakhulu ukuba uyisebenzise, kungadingeka wengeze intambo yokwelula usebenzisa izixhumi ezisontekile, ezigoqekayo, noma ezicindezelayo. Ungathola lezi zandiso ku-inthanethi noma esitolo sakho sehadiwe sendawo.
Isinyathelo 5: Ukufaka insimbi yomnyango entsha yevidiyo kufana nensimbi yomnyango yevidiyo esebenza ngebhethri. Okokuqala, udinga ukufaka ibhulakhethi yokufaka lapho ufuna ukufaka khona insimbi yomnyango. Ngaphambi kokufaka ibhulakhethi odongeni, qiniseka ukuthi udlulisa izintambo ezimbili zomnyango ngembobo ephakathi kwebhulakhethi. Itheyiphu iyasebenza futhi. Bhabha imigodi yokuhlola bese ugoqa ibhulakhethi odongeni. Ngemva kokuba ibhulakhethi yokufaka isisendaweni yayo, xhuma izintambo kuma-terminal amabili ngemuva kwensimbi yomnyango yevidiyo. (Akunandaba ukuthi iyiphi intambo exhunywe kuyiphi i-terminal.) Bese uxhuma izintambo ezengeziwe odongeni bese uxhuma insimbi yomnyango nebhulakhethi. Okokugcina, faka noma yiziphi izikulufo zokuphepha.
Isinyathelo 6: Vula ugesi bese usetha insimbi yomnyango ngohlelo lokusebenza lwe-smartphone. Usukulungele ukubuyisa ugesi ku-circuit breaker bese usetha insimbi yomnyango entsha yevidiyo. Landa uhlelo lokusebenza lwefoni ehlakaniphile yensimbi yomnyango, dala i-akhawunti, bese ulandela imiyalelo yokusetha insimbi yomnyango. (Ungalanda uhlelo lokusebenza kumadivayisi amaningi.) Luxhuma insimbi yomnyango ku-WiFi yakho. (Uma isignali yakho ibuthakathaka, ungase udinge i-expander.)
Njengakumamodeli asebenzisa ibhethri, kungadingeka ulungise ukuzwela kokunyakaza kuzilungiselelo (ngokuvamile ukukwehlisa ukuze uvimbele izihlahla ezinyakazayo ukuthi zingabangeli i-alamu) futhi unike amandla ama-alamu ahlakaniphile, njengokutholwa komuntu noma ukutholwa kwephakheji. Okokugcina kodwa okungabalulekile, i-Consumer Reports incoma kakhulu ukusetha ukuqinisekiswa kwezinto ezimbili (uma kutholakala) ukusiza ukuvikela i-akhawunti yakho kubaduni.
Bheka lawa mamodeli amabili aphezulu. Ukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nezinsimbi zomnyango zevidiyo esizihlolile, bheka izilinganiso zethu zezinsimbi zomnyango zevidiyo.
Ufuna ukuthula kwengqondo nokuphepha uma ungekho ekhaya? Ohlelweni lwe-TV lwe-"Consumer 101", isazi se-Consumer Reports u-Eric Hagerman sichazele umsakazi uJack Rico ukuthi kungani izinsimbi zomnyango ezihlakaniphile zingaba yimpendulo.
Ngithanda kakhulu ubuchwepheshe bekhaya elihlakaniphile futhi ngiguqule ukuthambekela kwami kwaba indaba entsha ku-Consumer Reports.
