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.

has great quality and unlike other cameras, xiomi don't charge for anything ongoing. It has notifications and can tell when a person enters the room. has great quality and unlike other cameras, xiomi don't charge for anything ongoing.

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.
Has LED light, but you can turn it off using the app.

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.

Works very well after fiddling around with the settings on the app. Works very well after fiddling around with the settings on the app.

Easy setup, fast delivery couldn't complain at the price, great quality. Easy setup, fast delivery couldn't complain at the price, great quality.

I am having real difficulty trying to connect my cameras to my wifi. I’m not a tech superstar but I can usually connect devices easily. Still a work in progress...

Camera quality is great, audio okay.
The reason this gets a 3 is the app. It's aggressively average. Works okay but has no desktop support whatsoever and sometimes crashes. Camera quality is great, audio okay.

Camera quality is great. Plus can detect when there is moving object (ie people around) and shows on the timeline. Camera quality is great. Plus can detect when there is moving object (ie people around) and shows on the timeline.

This camera is great product with easy Mi Home apps that we could manage several devices. Image is good both in bright and dark mode, we could set the automation of motion detection, happy with the product and keen to explore on other product type that could be managed by Mi Home. Definitely recommended product! This camera is great product with easy Mi Home apps that we could manage several devices.

This is fantastic little system, easy to install and use and lets me check what is happening at home anytime I choose. Taken a lot a worry away. This is fantastic little system, easy to install and use and lets me check what is happening at home anytime I choose. Taken a lot a worry away.

Good quality during the day but in the night or without light the camera doesn't catch very well, so for bright environments, it's good and clear, Xiaomi provides everything by the App so you are able to see from everywhere from your phone but they don't have the option to watch the camera by computer/web browser (just if you emulate your phone in your computer...bla..bla.bla). In general, with a good price and quality could be is a good deal.
