Once it's set up, it works really well as an entry level security camera. The quality is clear, even night vision. I use it with a 16GB memory card, set to only record motion when detected and the storage has been okay for more than a month without clearing. You can also download any recorded clips (and screenshots) to your phone from the Mi Home app. The only downside was the setup using the app - it wouldn't connect properly at first. I had to select Singapore as the region (which they recommended) because choosing NZ kept failing, so this is something to note. Overall I love the design & functionality of this camera.

I purchased this to see how it worked and have to say its much better than I expected. Took a bit to setup but I'd say thats a user error not product. Will now purchase a couple more I purchased this to see how it worked and have to say its much better than I expected. Took a bit to setup but I'd say thats a user error not product.

Easy to use and ata very good price, works perfectly! Easy to use and ata very good price, works perfectly!

I bought two of these recently for keeping an eye on pets and they have been perfect. No issues what-so-ever. Very simple and quick to set up.
Would definitely recommend these to anyone who needs a simple security/pet camera. I bought two of these recently for keeping an eye on pets and they have been perfect. No issues what-so-ever. Very simple and quick to set up.

Good resolution. Good fps. Good night vision. Good audio. Good app. Setup was easy enough, more steps than I was expecting, but anyone can do it!
App features security options (PIN etc) for additional piece of mind, which is great considering this becomes part of your home network and is accessible via the net.
It tilts (180 degree forward and back) so you can mount anywhere, including wall/ceiling if you have decent adhesive tape etc. The app allows you to rotate the view if mounted upside down.
Bought for nursery, and is helping us monitor baby perfectly.

Makes a slight clicking sound when night vision kicks in, but not enough to wake or upset baby.
A 64GB microSD card (the largest it can handle) will give you approx 13-14 days (2 weeks) of continuous recording at 1080p.
Only minor gripe...when 2 people are reviewing pre-recorded footage and it is also recording live at the same time, the reviewed footage lags and stutters a little bit, even with a microSD card with decent read/write speeds. For the price though, it'll be hard to beat this camera.

For the price, it offers great quality, all-hours recording to a local SD Card (no cloud storage worries or costs), and it offers a great variety of viewing options in the Mi Home app, as well as decent audio and a decent field of view. Would highly recommend for the casual home user!

These Xiaomi Mi Home Smart IP Cameras are perfect if you want a CCTV system on a tight budget. The cameras are super easy to set up and work seamlessly with the Xiaomi Home app on both iOS and Android (I use them both).
Detection zones can be fine tuned easily, notification and notification frequencies are also a doddle to set up.
The 130° viewing angle is fantastic and covers a lot of area for a small camera. Night mode is nice and clear with a decent range.

I honestly didn't think they would be as good as they are for the price so I'm genuinely pleased and will be going back for more to replace my older cams.
