For any concerned homeowner that’s looking to keep their family safe and protected, getting a Smart Home Security System would probably be your best bet. However, most of those systems tend to come with many separate components, which not only makes them somewhat hard to set up at your home, but also makes them fairly pricey. That said, instead of getting one of those more complex Smart Home Security Systems, consider getting yourself something like the HeimVision Assure B1.
The HeimVision Assure B1 is an all-in-one weatherproof smart home wireless security system that features a 2K FHD Camera with 130° FoV, a built-in Spotlight and a Smart PIR Sensor, Two-Way Audio, and Voice Assistant Support.
I should start by mentioning that this smart home security system originally came from the company’s Indiegogo Crowdfunding Campaing, which, as a matter of fact, was very, very successful, as the company (HeimVision) was able to get its Assure B1 Smart Home Security System funded in just 10 hours.
One of the best things about it is that this all-in-one weatherproof smart home wireless security system is fairly simple to set up, as well as really easy to use thanks to its Smartphone Companion App, called the PixPlus App (discussed at the end of the article). What’s even more impressive is that this smart home wireless security system is designed to cover every corner of your home, and as such, it allows you to connect up to four (x4) wireless cameras at once to its single base station, which ultimately allows you to monitor larger areas.
However, what’s most likely the best thing about this smart home security system is that the HeimVision Assure B1 gives you all of those features for just $79, which, when compared to many other security systems on the market, is really a bargain.
So, let’s have a fully detailed look at this all-in-one smart home security system and check out everything that the Assure B1 has to offer you.
DESIGN & SPECS
The Wireless Security Camera(s)
Starting with the system’s Wireless Security Camera, this outdoors security camera features a weatherproof-construction, as this security camera is rated to be IP65 Weather Resistant, which, in other words, means that the system’s Wireless Security Camera is designed to easily withstand just about any type of weather, whether that’s heavy-rain, a super-snowy day, fog, or even the heat of a hot Summer day.
Moreover, the system’s Security Camera also boasts a minimal and stylish design that allows it to easily blend with pretty much any choice of modern outdoors home decor.
Additionally, the package also includes a Wall-Mounting Bracket that’s equipped with a highly-durable Rotating Swivel Support, thus making it fairly easy for you to install the Assure B1’s Wireless Security Camera just outside your home, at whatever spot you prefer.
Now, as mentioned before, the system’s Wireless Security Camera comes equipped with a High-End Ultra-Wid-Angle Camera Lens that can record really high-quality video at a 2K Full-HD resolution.
Not only that, but the Camera’s Ultra-Wid-Angle Camera Lens also supports Colorful Night-Vision Video-Recording, which basically makes the system’s Security Camera perfectly capable of recording colorful high-quality video at night, even under the lowest light conditions.
Since the camera’s lens is in fact an Ultra-Wid-Angle Camera Lens, that basically means that the Assure B1’s Wireless Security Camera can record its high-quality video within a 130-degree Field of View, and that ultimately helps to ensure that nothing escapes this all-in-one smart home security system. For those curious, the system’s Wireless Security Camera can accurately capture its high-quality video up to a maximum range of 18 ft. (5.5 m).
Furthermore, and as stated before, the system’s Wireless Security Camera also comes equipped with both a built-in Spotlight and a built-in Smart PIR (Passive Infrared) Sensor that supports a Motion Detection functionality.
As such, while the camera’s Spotlight can be automatically activated to scare off the intruders before crime happens, its Smart Passive Infrared Sensor lets you know exactly what is happening in or around your property (via the PixPlus App), as its integration ultimately makes the system’s camera perfectly capable of accurately detecting any human presence via a Smart Human Figure Detection functionality.
Last but not least, the system’s Wireless Camera also features a Two-Way Audio functionality, as it comes equipped with both a high-end microphone and a high-quality speaker.
Keep in mind that the system’s Wireless Security Camera only supports 2.4G Wi-Fi connectivity up to a maximum transmission distance of 300 ft. (100 m), so don’t forget to configure your Home Wi-Fi Network accordingly.
The Smart Home Security Hub
Now, what really makes the HeimVision Assure B1 work as an all-in-one weatherproof smart home wireless security system is none other than its Smart Home Security Hub, which, mind you, features a very sleek and minimalist design.
The system’s Smart Home Security Hub can be conveniently powered by its included USB Power Cable, which can be easily plugged to the Security Hub’s USB Power Port (found at the left side of the device) in order to get it work.
On a side note, I’d once again like to remind you that while the system’s package-set only comes with one Wireless Security Camera and one Smart Home Security Hub, the HeimVision Assure B1 still allows you to have up to four (x4) wireless cameras simultaneously connected to the system’s Smart Home Hub (meaning its single base station), and that ultimately allows you to monitor more areas at once, or alternatively, larger areas, if you ever require to do that.
Lastly, know that each of the system’s 1-to-4 Wireless Camera Connecitons are represented by four (x4) different Circular LED Lights that can be found integrated at the top side of the system’s Smart Security Hub.
Keep in mind that the system’s Smart Security Hub features a direct Router Connection, meaning that the system’s base station is supposed to be connected directly to your home router via the set’s included Ethernet Cable.
VIDEO STORAGE
For the system’s Video Storage, we have a total of two (x2) different Storage Options. That said, you can either use an external Micro SD Memory Card up to 128G, or alternatively, you can use the company’s Subscription-Based Cloud Service, which, in my opinion, is actually available at a reasonably affordable price.
SET UP / INSTALLATION
Since this all-in-one smart home security system is designed to be used right out of the box, the system’s set-up process is fairly easy to follow, and it should only take you around five minutes (tops) to have everything up and running.
After installing the system’s Wireless Security Camera together with its Wall-Mounting Bracket, you’ll have to pair up the camera with the system’s base station, meaning its Smart Security Hub.
To do that, simply press the Camera Wireless-Connectivity Button for a total of 3 times, and you’ll then hear a voice-notification that tells you to “Go Set Mode”.
After that’s done, all you have to do is to return to the system’s Smart Security Hub and then simply press the Hub’s Wireless-Connectivity Button for 3 times (just like you’re required to do with the system’s Security Camera), for which you’ll then hear a voice-notification sound saying “Connection Succeeded”.”
BATTERY & BATTERY LIFE
Now, since this all-in-one smart home security system works based on the combination of a Smart Hub with up to four (x4) Wireless Security Camera(s), it’s probably worth to mention that each of the system’s cameras are solely powered by a set of four (x4) AA Rechargeable Batteries, which ultimately helps to ensure that the system works on a 24/7 basis, even during any unexpected power-outages.
However, as a power-alternative, know that you could also have the system’s Wireless Security Cameras directly connected to a small Solar Panel in order to have them working full-time and without requiring you to replace any batteries at all, as each camera also features a small AC Power port (located at the back of each camera unit).
THE SMARTPHONE COMPANION APP – The PixPlus App
Now, as mentioned before, this all-in-one smart home security system can be used together with the PixPlus App, which is available to download for free for both iOS and Android devices (this can either be done via a QR code on the package, or alternatively, via direct download).
In the PixPlus App, users can fully-control the system’s Wireless Security Camera(s) like zooming in and out, swapping between camera’s for having a 1-Camera Full-Screen view, enable and disable Night Function mode, as well as enabled and use each camera’s Two-Way Talk system.
Last but not least, the App also allows users to re-view recorded Video Footage.
OTHER NOTABLE FEATURES
Works with Amazon Alexa
Lastly, I’d also like to mention that the HeimVision Assure B1 also features full support to Amazon’s very famous Alexa Voice Assitant, which basically means that you can even use this all-in-one smart home security system via simple and easy to use Voice Commands.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
Inside each package, users will find: one (x1) proprietary Wireless Security Camera along with a Wall-Mounting Bracket and a Screw Kit, one (x1) HeimVision Smart Hub as well as a USB-to-AC Power Cable and Power Adapter, and one included Ethernet Cable.
FINAL THOUGHTS
The HeimVision Assure B1 is an all-in-one weatherproof smart home wireless security system that features a 2K FHD Camera with 130° FoV, a built-in Spotlight and a Smart PIR Sensor, Two-Way Audio, and Voice Assistant Support.
In sum, this all-in-one smart home security system is fairly easy to set-up and use, and it is also very, very reliable when it comes to all of its video-recording functionalities, while also including its Two-Way Talk System, of course.
If you’re interested in buying this all-in-one smart home security system, each set is currently going for just $79 each. You can order yours online right now, directly from HeimVision’s shopping page, which you can access by clicking this link here.
