easy to install, excellent battery and without using the cloud

Having a smart home is quite simple at the moment in Europe. There are a large number of brands that offer ideal devices to place in our living room, garden or bedroom and thanks to which it is possible to turn the sockets on and off to change the color of the lights. Netatmo is one of these brands, and it has such incredible devices as its smart lock, thanks to which I know that it works without having to use WiFi or a cell phone in some cases.

Today, the company surprises with the launch of a new brand, Omajin, which It will also develop in the field of home automationalthough with a slightly different concept. It comes with the idea of ​​offering useful devices for the home, but which do not require complex installation.

After all, not everyone is a technician and likes to spend time installing it, but many people prefer a ready-made device practically ready to use, and that’s what will suggest Omajin. In the presentation that the brand made in Parispresented their first five devices, which share the most interesting features.

One of them is the fact that they do not need wiring to work or that they are very easy to install, which makes them more accessible to an audience less linked to the world of technology, but This does not mean that they neglect the functions they offer. Undoubtedly, one of its strong points is that, although the brand offers the user the possibility of purchasing a cloud subscription to save the videos from the cameras there, they all have a slot for a microSD card, which is also included in the box, with different capacities depending on the model.

Speaking to ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre, Nicolas Pichot, product manager of Omajin, said that the time it takes for the memory card to fill varies depending on the uses, but that Any user can use the entire life of the device without having to subscribe to the subscription

Outdoor camera with solar panel

Without a doubt, one of its most interesting products is its outdoor camera with solar panel. It is an excellent alternative to monitor the outdoor areas of our home, just like the rest of the products, requires very simple installationsince it will not be necessary to carry any type of cable to the device, which works with its own battery.

It has night vision and infrared detection up to a distance of 9 m. The viewing angle of the camera is 120°and is able to recognize movement and sound, as well as the subject in front of the camera. This will allow you to specify in the alerts that you can send if a car, a person or an animal passes in front of the camera.

Note that this device also has a speaker through which it can emit a siren with volume up to 105 dBor can even broadcast messages that the user sends through the app. It has IP55 protection against water and dust and records images in Full HD quality.

This camera has its own 8,800 mAh battery, which means there’s no need to plug it into the mains unless it runs out of power. To avoid this, it has a solar panel located at the top of the device and hidden with a power of 3.5. It is therefore ideal to place it outside the house. Its price is 164.99 dollars.

Indoor and outdoor room

This camera is a fairly versatile device, since It is suitable for indoor use, but also outdoorsso that it can be adapted to the user’s needs at any time. This model won’t need to be plugged in either, since it has a 9,600 mAh battery.

On the other hand, it benefits from IP65 protection and the same ability as the previous model to recognize people, animals and vehicles. Its viewing angle is 140°, it also records in Full HD resolution, even It has night vision for times when there is no light.

Its installation method is quite simple, since it has a powerful magnet thanks to which it is able to adhere to the base, which can be left as is on a flat surface or screw it to a wall. Either way, you can change the direction it points by simply moving it with your hand.

It is a camera which It works to put it virtually anywhereand it is one of the most recommended models that the company has presented. Its price is 114 dollars, and it is now available for purchase, like the rest of the models.

Children’s video monitor

This camera is designed for indoors, and while it can be placed anywhere, it has some incredibly useful features for use it as an intercom and video monitor to monitor your children. Its design is also child-friendly, since the top part of the camera resembles a head with two antennas sticking out, making it more friendly when placed in a child’s room.

One of its main differences with the rest of the models is that in this case the camera has the possibility of following the person in front of it, being able to move the top to some extent to always register the people in front of you. Even if the child moves around the room, the camera still finds him.

To help parents, it has cry detection and is even able to sing lullabies if the app asks. Additionally, thanks to the included light is capable of providing some illumination in times when they are needed. In this case it also has two-way communication, so parents can speak from the app and the child hears it through the camera’s built-in speaker.

To ensure the well-being of the little ones in the house, it also includes a sensor capable of measuring air quality and temperature. This adds a lot of value, I already know that it is a highly recommended device, because it goes beyond just allowing the user to monitor their children’s activity.

doorbell with camera

This device is a classic when it comes to home automation, but it is true that in Europe you can only place one if it does not point directly towards the neighbor’s door, among other requirements. This one also has a battery, so we don’t need to connect it to the network to work.

It is a device that is divided into two, since It has a camera with doorbell and intercom. These two devices are connected by Bluetooth, and thanks to this it will be possible to listen to the sound of the doorbell inside the house, without having to touch the house wiring to do so.

This intercom can be used for the same options that are offered in the application, although the only thing it does not allow is to see the camera image, so the cell phone remains essential for this. It has night vision to see what happens when there is no light.

smart socket

This last device is one of the most interesting and simplest when talking about home automation. It’s a smart plug that user can turn on or off the power using mobile. Basically, it is able to turn a device that is not a smart device into a smart device. To give an example, if you connect a lamp to this socket and leave the lamp switch always on, you can turn the current coming to it on and off using the app. For practical purposes, when you turn on the current flow, the light turns on and when you remove it, it turns off.

In this case, the Omajin model has the ability to program the switching on and off to automate it as much as possiblealthough it is also possible to set a timer so that at the end of the countdown the device turns off automatically.

Its design is quite compact, in white, and it has a section that can be very useful within the application and in which allows us to see the power consumption of the device who is connected and your consumption history. All this for a price of 19.99 dollars.
