Scenario: The user uses and experiences the device in daily operation.
Test method: Use the manual operation and visual inspection.
Pass standard: The RTC time has no deviation and the button and other parts are functional.

Test purpose: The purpose is to ensure proper pairing of the IPC.
Scenario: Pair the IPC for the first time after purchasing.
Test method: Trigger the IPC to enter the local pairing mode, and then use the app to pair.
Pass standard: The IPC is successfully paired and it is controllable online.

Test purpose: The purpose is to ensure the audio and the video are in real-time and fluent without freezing or delays.
Scenario: The user views the real-time video remotely on the app.
Test method: The IPC separately monitors the static and dynamic scenes, and detects the preview effect.
Pass standard: The audio and video are played in real-time with synchronized images and sound, and the OSD is normal without being too fast, too slow, or freezing.

Test purpose: The purpose is to ensure the image is successfully captured and viewable.
Scenario: The user remotely captures images from the live video streaming with the app.
Test method: Capture an image during the live video streaming and view the image.
Pass standard: The image is captured successfully in a good definition, and saved in the right place.

Test purpose: The purpose is to ensure the video is recorded successfully and viewable.
Scenario: The video is recorded and viewed during the live video streaming.
Test method: Record the live video during the live video streaming.
Pass standard: The video is recorded and saved properly and can be played.

Test purpose: The purpose is to ensure the client communicates properly with the device in real-time without interruptions.
Scenario: The user communicates with a friend on the other end of the IPC with the app.
Test method: Enable video chat on the app and start a video chat from the client and the device respectively to check the communication.
Pass standard: The sound can be heard from the client and the device mutually in a proper volume without any noise and delays.

Test purpose: The purpose is to ensure the device PT is properly controlled by the command and the PT is properly rotating.
Scenario: The user controls the PT and the camera with the app.
Test method: Send rotation commands to the PT to check the execution.
Pass standard: The commands are sent properly and the PT is rotating smoothly and continuously without any freezing.

Test purpose: The purpose is to ensure the playback is normal and viewable without any loss.
Scenario: The user remotely views the history videos on the app.
Test method: Enable continuous recording and the time OSD watermark to check the playback.
Pass standard: The video is played without any interferences, color casts, blurs, or shadows. The OSD is normal with synchronized images and sound, and the history videos are complete.

Test purpose: The purpose is to ensure the videos stored in the cloud are viewable without any loss.
Scenario: When the camera detects a picture change, the camera will automatically record, encrypt, and upload it to the Tuya IoT Cloud Security Center. The user can view the playback remotely on the app.
Test method: Trigger the motion detection and check the records of the cloud storage.
Pass standard: The video is uploaded successfully, the playback is normal without any loss, and the video can be played even if the device is offline.

Test purpose: The purpose is to ensure moving objects are detected and the alarms are triggered correctly without any false alarms.
Scenario: The surveillance video is taken without human supervision and the IPC automatically detects anomalies and triggers alarms.
Test method: Trigger the motion detection and check the alarm messages.
Pass standard: The alarm messages are pushed in real-time and the motion information of the alarm images are accurate.

Test purpose: The purpose is to ensure the Amazon Echo and the Google Home are working properly.
Scenario: The user views the live video through the Amazon Echo and the Google Home.
Test method: Use the Amazon Echo and the Google Home to view the live videos of IPCs.
Pass standard: The live videos of IPCs can be viewed through the Amazon Echo and the Google Home with synchronized images and sound.

Test purpose: The purpose is to ensure the IPC can be set remotely.
Scenario: The user remotely sets the IPC with the app.
Test method: Remotely set the IPC with the app and check whether the IPC is set successfully.
Pass standard: The IPC setting options are modified successfully on the app and the IPC local settings are modified successfully.

Test purpose: The purpose is to ensure the proper function of the device.
Scenario: The user is using the IPC continuously for a long time.
Test method: Simulate daily usage scenarios with 3 to 10 IPCs working for 7 × 24 hours to test their reliability.
Pass standard: No restart, crash, or data loss occurs during the test.

Test purpose: The purpose is to ensure the IPC panels are displayed properly on the app.
Scenario: The users use the same IPC with different models of mobile phones.
Test method: Use the phones ranking top 10 to 20 to monitor the robustness of the UI according to the screen sizes of the mobile phones.
Pass standard: The panel text of the IPC is displayed completely and correctly on each test model.
