Kulula ukuqonda indlela enomtsalane ngayo intsimbi yomnyango yevidiyo: ungabona ukuba iphakheji iza kufika nini kwaye ufumane isikhumbuzo xa kukho umntu olinde emnyango wakho. Kuphando olusandula ukwenziwa kuzwelonke yiConsumer Reports, i-15% yabaphenduli bathi ikhaya labo linentsimbi yomnyango yevidiyo, kwaye i-52% ithe ingacinga ngokuthenga enye.
“Iintsimbi zevidiyo ezisebenza ngebhetri kulula ukuzifaka—tshaja nje iibhetri uze uzifake ecaleni komnyango wakho,” utshilo uBernie Deitrick, injineli yovavanyo lwekhamera yokhuseleko lwasekhaya eCR. “Imodeli eneentambo eziqinileyo ifuna umsebenzi omninzi kwaye kufuneka ilungelelaniswe ukuze isebenze nombane.”
Phakathi kwethu, mna noDeitrick sifake ii-video doorbells ezingaphezu kwama-20. Silapha ukukuxelela ukuba nangona ungakwenza oku wedwa, siye sadibana neentloko ezininzi ngokulandela imiyalelo yomenzi. Ke ngoko, siqokelele isikhokelo senyathelo ngenyathelo sokufaka ii-video doorbells ezisebenza ngebhetri kunye nee-hard-wire.
Ngaphambi kokuba uthenge intsimbi yomnyango yevidiyo, nceda ujonge ukuba ikhona na intsimbi yomnyango eneentambo eziqinileyo ekhayeni lakho. Ungathenga uhlobo olufanayo lwentsimbi yomnyango yevidiyo, ukuze ufumane umbane oqhubekayo (endaweni yokutshaja ibhetri). "Ukuba awuqinisekanga, indlela elula yokuyibona kukukhulula intsimbi yomnyango uze ubone ukuba iqhagamshelwe kwiingcingo ezimbini eziphuma eludongeni," utshilo uDeitrick.
Ezinye iimodeli ezineentambo eziqinileyo zibonelela ngeendlela zokwazisa ngentshukumo eziphucukileyo kuneemodeli ezisebenzisa ibhetri, njengeendawo ezithile zokujonga, ngoko ke ungazivalela ngokuzenzekelayo iindawo (ezifana nezitrato ezixakekileyo) kwaye urekhode iiyure ezingama-24 ngosuku, iintsuku ezisixhenxe ngeveki. Ukuba ukhetha imodeli enezintambo eziqinileyo kodwa engenazintambo, ungaqesha ingcali yombane ukuba ifake isekethe yentsimbi yomnyango kunye nentsimbi, okanye uthenge i-plug-in power adapter yentsimbi yomnyango wakho. Ezinye iimpawu, ezifana neGoogle Nest kunye neRing, zithengisa ii-power adapters zeentsimbi zomnyango zazo. I-adapter yamandla emva kokuthengisa ifanelekile phantse kuyo nayiphi na imodeli. Kodwa khumbula, abavelisi bentsimbi yomnyango abazicebisi.
Oko kuthethiweyo, iintsimbi zevidiyo ezisebenza ngebhetri zihlala zibiza kancinci kuneemodeli ezineentambo eziqinileyo, kwaye nokuba unezintambo ezikhoyo, ziseyindlela onokukhetha kuyo. Ezinye iintsimbi zevidiyo ezisebenza ngebhetri zineziphelo zamandla, ngoko ke zinokuqhagamshelwa kwintambo yentsimbi yakho.
Kakade ke, nangona unale sikhokelo, kusafuneka ufunde imiyalelo yokufakela efike nentsimbi yomnyango, njengoko le modeli isenokufuna amanyathelo ongezelelweyo. Ukuba awonelisekanga yiyo nayiphi na inxalenye yenkqubo yokufakela, ingakumbi nawuphi na umsebenzi wombane, nceda uqeshe ingcali.
Ukuze ufumane uncedo ekukhetheni intsimbi yomnyango yevidiyo yekhaya lakho, jonga amanqaku ethu eemodeli ezili-19 zeentsimbi zomnyango zevidiyo kunye nesikhokelo sethu sokuthenga ikhamera yokhuseleko lwasekhaya.
Inyathelo 1: Tshaja ibhetri yentsimbi yomnyango Ngaphambi kokufaka intsimbi yomnyango, nceda utshaje ngokupheleleyo ibhetri yentsimbi yomnyango. Uninzi lweemodeli, kuquka ezinye ezivela kwiRing kunye neEufy, ziza nentambo ye-micro USB yokutshaja ibhetri; kufuneka uyisuse intsimbi yomnyango eludongeni ngalo lonke ixesha xa ufuna ukuyitshaja. Ezinye iintsimbi zomnyango (ezifana neRing Video Doorbell 2) zineebhetri ezisuswayo ezinokutshintshwa okanye zisuswe ngaphandle kokuyichitha intsimbi yomnyango. Ngokuxhomekeke kwimodeli kunye nenani leerekhodi zentsimbi yomnyango, ubomi bebhetri bunokuhlala ukusuka kwinyanga enye ukuya kwezintandathu.
Inyathelo lesi-2: Faka intsimbi yomnyango. Uninzi lweentsimbi zomnyango zevidiyo ziza ne-bracket yokufakela onokuyilungisa ngaphandle kwekhaya lakho. Ukuba ufuna ukufaka intsimbi yomnyango kwisitena, ilitye okanye ikhonkrithi, unokufuna ukusebenzisa ii-ankile zakho ezikhethekileyo (okanye ezinikiweyo) kunye nee-drill bits. Emva kokuba i-bracket yokufakela imile kakuhle, faka intsimbi yomnyango kuyo. Inyathelo lokugqibela elibalulekileyo: faka isikrufu sokhuseleko esingena ezantsi kwentsimbi yomnyango. Ezi zisebenzisa i-screwdriver ekhethekileyo eza nentsimbi yomnyango ukuthintela umntu ukuba angayiba intsimbi yomnyango.
Ukuba uhlala kwisakhiwo seeflethi okanye kwindawo yokuqeshisa, kungcono ucele imvume kumninindlu ngaphambi kokuba ufake intsimbi yomnyango, kuba usenokungafuni ukuba ungene ngaphandle kwesakhiwo.
Inyathelo lesi-3: Seta usetyenziso lwe-doorbell Ukuze ufumane ividiyo evela kwi-doorbell kwifowuni yakho, ithebhulethi okanye ikhompyutha, kufuneka ukhuphele usetyenziso lwe-doorbell kwisixhobo kwaye usete iakhawunti yakho. Ngale sicelo, qhagamshela i-doorbell yakho kwinethiwekhi yakho ye-WiFi yasekhaya. Ukuba unengxaki yokudibanisa i-doorbell okanye ukubukela iividiyo, unokufuna i-WiFi extender, enokuphucula isignali ye-WiFi kufutshane ne-doorbell. Le yingxaki eqhelekileyo endiyifumeneyo kuba iindonga zangaphandle zekhaya lam zinokuthintela isignali ye-WiFi. Ezinye iimpawu, ezifana neRing, zibonelela nge-extenders ezinokuba njengee-ringtones ze-doorbell.
Emva kokudibanisa intsimbi yomnyango, uya kukwazi ukwenza useto ngendlela othanda ngayo, olufana novakalelo lwentshukumo (sebenzisa olu seto ukuze imithi erhabaxa okanye iimoto ezidlulayo zingabangeli ukurekhoda), ukubonwa kwabantu, kunye nobude bokurekhoda ividiyo. Ngokwamava am, uvakalelo lwentshukumo oluzenzekelayo luhlala lubekwe phezulu kangangokuba yonke imoto edlulayo iya kuthatyathwa, nto leyo enokuba yinto ecaphukisayo ukuba uhlala esitalatweni esixakekileyo.
Iingxelo zabathengi zicebisa ukuba kusebenze useto lwabucala, olufana nokuqinisekiswa kwezinto ezimbini (iiphasiwedi zesibini, ezithunyelwa kanye kwifowuni yakho ngeSMS), ukuba zingasetyenziswa ukuthintela umntu ekungeneni kwiakhawunti yakho.
Inyathelo lesi-4: Faka kwaye usete iringithoni yentsimbi yomnyango. Ezinye iintsimbi zomnyango zevidiyo ziza neringithoni ye-plug-in; ukuba awunayo, kuya kufuneka uyithenge. Xa kukho umntu emnyango wakho, usetyenziso olukwifowuni yakho luya kukhalisa i-alamu, kodwa xa uneendwendwe, abanye abantu endlwini yakho baya kwazi ngeringithoni eyahlukileyo.
Emva kokufaka iringithoni, landela imiyalelo yokuseta kwi-app ye-doorbell. Ngokwesiqhelo, kufuneka uyiqhagamshele kwi-WiFi yakho kwaye uyidibanise ne-doorbell yakho. Inyani eyonwabisayo: ezinye zezi ntsimbi zibonelela ngezandi ezahlukeneyo, ukusuka kwi-"ding dong" eqhelekileyo ukuya kwiingoma zeholide, kwaneengcuka ezikhalayo zeHalloween okanye iiturkeys ezitya i-Thanksgiving, ungazitshintsha ngokulula ezi kwisandi se-app.
Inyathelo 1: Fumana kwaye ucime i-circuit breaker ye-doorbell ekhoyo. Ukucima i-circuit breaker enika amandla i-doorbell kuya kukuvumela ukuba uphathe iingcingo ngokukhuselekileyo. Ukuba awuqinisekanga ukuba yeyiphi i-circuit breaker evulwe yi-doorbell, zama ukuyicima nganye nganye uze ubone ukuba i-doorbell isakhala na xa ucinezela i-doorbell. Xa i-doorbell ingakhali, une-circuit breaker efanelekileyo.
Inyathelo lesi-2: Fumana kwaye ujonge i-transformer yentsimbi yakho yomnyango. Ufuna ukuqinisekisa ukuba i-transformer yakho inika i-voltage efanelekileyo kwi-video doorbell yakho entsha, idla ngokuba yi-16 ukuya kwi-24 volts. Ukuba iphantsi kakhulu (ngaphantsi kwe-16 volts), akukho mandla aneleyo okwenza intsimbi yomnyango isebenze. Ukuba iphezulu kakhulu (ngaphezu kwe-24 volts), isenokugqithisela kwaye yonakalise intsimbi yomnyango.
Ukuze ufumane i-transformer, vula ibhokisi yentsimbi yomnyango uze uzame ukulandelela indawo yocingo oluqhagamshelwe kwi-"trans" terminal. (Ukuba awuqinisekanga ukuba intsimbi yomnyango ikhala phi, nceda uvule i-circuit breaker kwakhona, ucinezele intsimbi yomnyango, uze ulandele intsimbi. Khumbula ukucima i-circuit breaker xa ugqibile.) Ukuba ayisebenzi, uDeitrick ucebisa ukuba ujonge kufutshane ne-circuit breaker ngenxa ye-transformer. Ihlala ifakelwe apho. Ungajonga nakwiindawo ezingagqitywanga zekhaya lakho, njengeendawo zokukhasa kunye nezindlu ezingaphantsi apho ii-transformer ngamanye amaxesha zifihliwe khona.
I-transformer yakho kufuneka ibe nophawu olufana "ne-16-24V AC" ukubonisa i-voltage. Ukuba awuboni zimpawu, jonga i-voltage nge-multimeter (20 ukuya kwi-40 USD). Ukuba i-voltage ye-transformer idlula uluhlu lwe-16 ukuya kwi-24, kufuneka itshintshwe. Ungathenga i-transformer entsha (malunga ne-US$20) kwivenkile yezixhobo, uze uqhagamshele kwakhona iingcingo ze-transformer endala kwii-terminals ezifanelekileyo kwi-transformer entsha, okanye ungaqesha ingcali yombane.
Inyathelo lesi-3: Jonga kwaye uqhagamshele kwakhona intsimbi yakho yomnyango. Susa isigqubuthelo sentsimbi (kunokufuneka ususe izikrufu) uze ujonge ngaphakathi ukuze ubone ukuba yintsimbi yomatshini okanye yedijithali. Iwotshi yomatshini inesando esincinci, kwaye nanini na xa ucinezela intsimbi yomnyango, iya kubetha intsimbi ebonakalayo. Iiwotshi zedijithali zizithethi ezincinci ezidlala iingoma. Eli nyathelo libalulekile kuba liya kugqiba ukuba yintoni ekufuneka uyenze ukuze intsimbi yomnyango entsha ibethe intsimbi ekhoyo.
Ukuba uneringithoni yedijithali, unokufuna ukufaka i-diode ekhethekileyo ekupheleni kwentambo eqhagamshelwe kwi-doorbell, njengeRing Video Doorbell 2. (Intambo edibanisa iringithoni kwi-doorbell idla ngokubhalwa ngokuthi "ngaphambili.") Ezinye ii-video doorbells, ezifana neGoogle Nest Hello kunye neRing Video Doorbell Pro, ziza ne-adaptha ekhethekileyo ekufuneka uyifake kwi-ringtone ngokwayo, nokuba iringithoni yeyoMechanical okanye yedijithali. Kufuneka ujonge imiyalelo ukuze uqonde ukuba ifuna ntoni i-video doorbell yakho.
Inyathelo lesi-4: Susa intsimbi yomnyango ekhoyo. Khulula intsimbi yomnyango ekhoyo ngaphandle kwendlu, uze uyikhuphe iingcingo ezikwiiterminals ezimbini ngasemva kwentsimbi yomnyango. Xa usenza oku, qiniseka ukuba iingcingo aziweli eludongeni kwakhona, kungenjalo kuya kuba nzima ukuzisusa. Ndiphantse ndalahlekelwa zezo ngcingo izihlandlo ezimbalwa; ekugqibeleni ndifunde ukunamathelisa iingcingo eludongeni ngelixa ndisebenza. Ukuba intsimbi imfutshane kakhulu ukuba ingasetyenziswa, unokufuna ukongeza intambo yokwandisa usebenzisa izihlanganisi ze-twist, crimp, okanye push-in. Ungazifumana ezi zongezo kwi-intanethi okanye kwivenkile yakho yezixhobo zekhompyutha.
Inyathelo lesi-5: Ukufaka intsimbi entsha yomnyango wevidiyo kufana nentsimbi yomnyango wevidiyo esebenza ngebhetri. Okokuqala, kufuneka ufake i-mounting bracket apho ufuna ukufaka khona intsimbi yomnyango. Ngaphambi kokufaka i-bracket eludongeni, qiniseka ukuba udlulisa iingcingo ezimbini zomnyango ngembobo embindini we-bracket. Iteyiphu iyanceda kwakhona. Bhoboza imingxunya yokulinganisa kwaye ujije i-bracket eludongeni. Emva kokuba i-mounting bracket isendaweni, qhagamshela iingcingo kwi-terminals ezimbini ezingasemva kwe-video doorbell. (Akunamsebenzi ukuba yeyiphi intambo eqhagamshelwe kwi-terminal.) Emva koko faka iingcingo ezingaphezulu eludongeni kwaye uqhagamshele intsimbi yomnyango kwi-bracket. Okokugqibela kodwa okungabalulekanga, jijela naziphi na izikrufu zokhuseleko.
Inyathelo lesi-6: Vula umbane uze usete intsimbi yomnyango nge-app yefowuni. Ukulungele ukuphinda uvule umbane kwi-circuit breaker uze usete intsimbi yomnyango entsha yevidiyo. Khuphela i-app yefowuni ehlakaniphileyo yentsimbi yomnyango, udale iakhawunti, kwaye ulandele imiyalelo yokuseta intsimbi yomnyango. (Ungayikhuphela le app kwizixhobo ezininzi.) Idibanisa intsimbi yomnyango kwi-WiFi yakho. (Ukuba isignali yakho ibuthathaka, unokufuna i-expander.)
Njengakwiimodeli ezisebenzisa ibhetri, kunokufuneka ulungise indlela yokuguquguquka kwentshukumo kwizicwangciso (ngokuqhelekileyo uyithobe ukuze uthintele imithi erhabaxa ukuba ingaqalisi i-alamu) kwaye uvule ii-alamu ezikrelekrele, ezifana nokuchongwa komntu okanye ukufunyanwa kwephakheji. Okokugqibela kodwa okungabalulekanga, iiConsumer Reports zicebisa kakhulu ukuseta ukuqinisekiswa kwezinto ezimbini (ukuba ziyafumaneka) ukunceda ukukhusela iakhawunti yakho kubaphangi.
