Advantages and disadvantages that we learned by using "Echo Show 10" for a while: Masahiro Yamaguchi's smart speaker living (page 1/4)

　The last time, the smart speaker "Echo Show 10" with display introduced from the setup to basic functions as a basic part.

　This time, as a use, in addition to the two major features, "video call" and "surveillance camera" using the camera and rotation function of this product, check the advantages and disadvantages of the motion function for a while.go.

Is the "chase" during the video call rather than a sashimi?

　The first thing I introduce is a video call.There are two types of Alexa's video calling functions: calling and call (call (call)), but when this product calls for "Alexa, call", the latter call (call) function is selected.。

　Video calls can be made not only with other Echo shows, but also with smartphone apps.In addition to devices that have been on the same Amazon account, you can also specify another Amazon account.

　In addition to the method of starting by calling "Alexa, call", you can also select "Communication" → "Call" from the menu displayed on the left wipe left, and also specify the call destination.

　This video call, but the function itself is the same as before.The biggest difference after becoming a new model is that even if you move indoors and talk, the camera will automatically track it so that you will always be in the center of the screen.

　There are three types of tracking: "left and right swinging", "up and down movement", and "fixed -point zoom". The left and right swing is physically shaking the neck, the up and down movement and the fixed point zoom are digital zoom tracking.Become."Google Nest Hub Max" has a similar function, but this is only digital zoom and there is no left and right swing, so the range is overwhelmingly wider.

　However, it is not always convenient because the range is wide.This is because it rotates up to 350 degrees, so it reflects the inside of the room that you do not want to show much.There is no problem with a call between families, but if you are a call with a person who is not, you should turn off the "chase" from the menu displayed by tapping the screen.

　By the way, along with the release of this product, it has been announced that the video call "ZOOM" and the Amazon video call application "CHIME" will be available for this product (deployment in Japan is undecided).If you use a business, you should turn off the chase so that no extra things are reflected, and the need is low.It may be useful if there is a mode that can only use digital zoom while the angle of view is fixed.

　Next, check the surveillance camera function.
