It is clean to "put it all in practical use"!Hitachi embodies the "function that can see the contents of the refrigerator" in a simple way

It's okay to buy milk before this time, but today I have to buy eggs and go home ...!When I came home, I noticed that the milk was cut in my eggs in front of the refrigerator, and I was stunned and lost."I remembered it ...!"You've never had that experience?Eh, isn't it?No, there are quite a few!After that, you can't remember what you have to buy at a supermarket, or what you bought with care is a family member.A refrigerator equipped with a "refrigerator camera" that you want such a person has appeared from Hitachi Global Life Solutions!

You can shoot inside the refrigerator with a camera and check it with your smartphone

The new products equipped with a camera are the "HXCC type" where the central drawer is a freezer room, and the "KXCC type", which is a vegetable room in the center.

The HXCC type is two models of "R-HXCC62S" with 617L and 540L "R-HXCC54S", and the KXCC type is one model of 498L "R-KXCC50S".The release date is February 24.The expected price is around 450,000 yen for the R-HXCC62S, around 400,000 yen for the R-HXCC54S, and around 430,000 yen for the R-KXCCC50S (both including tax).

In developing a refrigerator with a camera, Hitachi is conducting an awareness survey for purchasers in large refrigerators.By linking the refrigerator with a smartphone, in a survey on what I thought, "I wish I could do it," the first place was "I can check the contents of the refrigerator with images from the go".This is a lot of conviction for the writer who has many cases like the above!

Therefore, in this new product, the "refrigerator camera" jumped out in front of the refrigerator.It is designed so that you can look inside when you open the refrigerated room door in the form of peeping from above.

The shooting is performed automatically when the door is opened, and the three places, a refrigerated room shelf and the left and right door pockets at once.Shoot when only one door is opened.In this case, it is synthesized with the shooting data when the door of the unpopened person is opened at the end, and it can be seen as an image that captures the entire storehouse.

There is also a shutter button for manual shooting at the bottom of the door, so you can cut the shutter at any time.If the door is open for a while, it will automatically continue to shoot every time and work to record the latest state before closing the door as much as possible.The interval between this automatic shooting can be changed on the app described later.

The shooting image can be expanded on the app

The captured image data is sent to the smartphone in a few minutes by the connected function after closing the door.Users can display this image on the free dedicated app "Hitachi Refrigerator Concierge App".If you tap "Check the contents of the refrigerator" and select the room you want to display from three places, the image is displayed one by one.Now, at the supermarket food counter, you don't have to worry about "Is that still in the refrigerator?"In addition, an Internet connection environment and a wireless LAN router are required for use.

Each image can be pinched on the screen and enlarged, and you can also check past history.Past history display is 5 times shooting.If you include the most recent, it will be 6 times.Past images are automatically erased and overwritten, so if you want to leave a photo, you should capture the screen.

In addition, since the position of the camera is at the top of the main unit, a place that is not visible in the shadow can be done.The "special ice temperature room" at the bottom of the refrigerator room is not reflected, and you cannot shoot vegetable rooms or freezing rooms.However, it can be said that there is room to devise ingredients, such as "put ingredients in the camera reflected on the camera", so if you start operating it, it seems that it will not be troubled even if you actually start operating.increase.

The performance of the refrigerator camera lens is private.From the online recital, it seems that the brands of the product can be determined by pointing the camera, but it seems difficult to determine the expiration date.By the way, if the camera breaks down, it will be supported by visiting repair.It seems that the exchange of only the camera is removed and the camera is NG.

The charm of it is still!The split attitude is clean

If the capacity of the refrigerator is 500L, the height will exceed 180cm and few people will put something on the refrigerator.I think that there are few people who hit their heads or hook something.For this reason, there seems to be no case where the "refrigerator camera" is in the way.Nevertheless, cameras that extend from the top of the door like a kid and chomage are not very cool due to the design.You will receive a "divisible impression" as if you put the ability value in the game as "practical".For those who are attractive to practicality, they may be pierced in a fairly deep place.

In fact, the idea of checking the contents of the refrigerator from a smartphone has a concept for each company.It is simple as a method because you only need to turn on the camera and lighting and take measures against condensation.However, this method will increase the cost, and even if it will eventually appear, it will still be the first time.

If you think so, this product can be said to be "ahead of the future" by installing a refrigerator camera by dividing it only to practicality.Considering that the timing of "now" is one of the great attractions, I felt that it was an epoch -making product that remains in the history of the refrigerator.
