I\u2019m reporting on the test I\u2019ve been doing on the EZVIZ\nMini O Plus camera today. Mum was expecting it to be no different to the other\ncameras we\u2019ve tried. She was wrong!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monitoring Alfie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, as you know Alfie has dementia and sometimes has bad\ndays. Mum said that we could use the camera to monitor Alfie. That was where\nthe first really good feature came in. It\u2019s got a magnetic base. That meant we\nwere able to simply attach it to the fridge door without having to use any\nfixings and could plug it into the socket behind the fridge easily as it\u2019s got\na really long lead. It does have fixings for the wall or any other surface too,\nbut Mum was really impressed by the magnet and it\u2019s strong enough not to fall\noff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photo History<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"Examples<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This was the second thing that meant Mum got excited. Most\nof the cameras we\u2019ve tried allow you to see what a dog is doing at the time you\ncheck. This one is much more sophisticated. It is motion sensitive and then\nrecords for the period it senses movement and saves what it records so you can\ngo back and check. That means we could look back at just how often Alfie was\ngetting up and pacing. It would be great for night time monitoring too as it\ncan see in the dark really very well. It can save the images either to a memory\ncard which you put into a slot of you can pay for cloud storage, which makes it\neven easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It has good quality sound as well as vision, so we could\nhear what Alfie was doing. Mum was even able to work out quickly how he had\ntaken the skin off his nose and wrap something soft around the gate where he\nwas catching it so it didn\u2019t happen again. There was about a second and half\ntime lag between things actually happening and them appearing on the app so\nwhen Alfie barked it was a bit like having an echo, but it\u2019s very easy to turn\nthe sound off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It was very easy to set up. You have to install an app\nonto your phone, but apart from that it simply attaches to your home wi-fi\nnetwork and doesn\u2019t need another router as some systems do. Any intelligent dog\nor small child would be able to do it for you if you got stuck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We kept finding new features the more we played with it.\nYou can get it to integrate with an Amazon Alexa or other smart device. Mum\u2019s\ngot an Alexa with a screen and tried it out. It would make it very easy to\nmonitor an area of your home while sitting somewhere else and without taking up\nyour phone or computer. The only downside was that you have to turn off the\nencryption for it to work on an Alexa. Mum said I should tell you that it only\nworks on a 2.4GHz wifi and not a 5GHz, and hopefully you\u2019ll understand that\nbetter than I did. <\/p>\n\n\n

Alerts for the EZVIZ Mini O Plus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can get the app to send you alerts when the camera is activated. Of course, with Alfie Mum would be getting alerts all the time, but if you were using it for security that would be a really good feature. The image is really clear and it shows a wide part of the room. We were also surprised to find that you can buy it for about \u00a340, which Mum says is a bargain for what it can do. They make other equipment in the range too, for both indoors and outdoors. We like it and will carry on using it with Alfie when we need to keep an eye on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to find out more you can find it on Amazon HERE<\/a> for the UK and HERE<\/a> for the US<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope you like it if you get one<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a great day<\/p>\n\n\n\n
