Though everybody is talking about the newly announced Xioami Mi 5C, Redmi 4X and the first chip of the company, Surge S1, there are many other products with this brand worthy to pay attention to. One of them is the Xiaomi Smart Camera with a list of decent specs and a stylish design. This product has been launched yesterday, but we have already managed to get our hands on it.
The Xiaomi Smart Camera looks almost identical to the Yi Dome camera. But this one comes with improved design and sports better features. If compared to the older version of the Xiaomi’s smart camera line products, it’s been changed a lot. Now this IP camera looks skinnier and more stylish.
As for the features, the Xiaomi Smart Camera is capable of recording 1080p videos at 20fps. It also comes with a 130 degrees ultra-wide angle lens and 940m, infrared fill light providing up to 10 meters effective night vision range.
The Xiaomi Smart Camera supports dual-band WiFi 2.4G / 5G for proven transmission, microSD card slot support for memory expansion up to 128GB.
This camera can automatically identify family members via Bluetooth and Mi Band 2. It uses Mi App to interact with them. Say it can turn the sleep mode on automatically. Finally, it comes with an omni-directional noise reduction microphone, high-fidelity speakers, and voice control.
Like other products announced yesterday the Xiaomi Smart Camera is going to hit the market on March 3. It’s priced quite affordable at 199 yuan ($28.92). This is twice more than the previous model. But if taking into account what improvements it has got, I guess this price tag is acceptable.
