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.

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.

Easy to setup with Xiaomi Mi Home app, recently had unwanted guest & it was all caught from one of these cams sitting on a window sill pointed at my front door. Night cam won't work though because of the reflection of leds on window pane, but great for me to see who is banging on the door.

Perfect way to keep house monitored whilst away. Motion detect works perfectly for keeping eye on pets, Additionally this can be linked with Mi Band watches to put the cameras to sleep when i return home.

This is a basic level entry camera. No frills.

This is a camera to record all day and see who stole your package, if your teenager was home when they said they would be, or who knocked on your door IF you know the approximate time or can be bothered checking the entire day. Alerts for human movement is not really a thing and cannot be relied upon.

Camera took a long time (hours) to set up as it had difficulty picking up the QR and also detecting Wifi. Picture is reasonable. Overall not bad value for the price.

Please note you will need an HD card for memory as this does not record to a cloud like some others on the market. Expect t...view more This is a basic level entry camera. No frills.

The functions to detect human movement are VERY limited/non-existent. My camera NEVER has any alerts of human movement recorded.

However there is a function in playback to see when the camera has picked up movement. Unfortunately other than at night or very early morning it is not very reliable as ANYTHING from moving tree branches or grass, flies, cat, cat's reflection or even changes in sunlight will set off the movement detected. Vids then need to be checked manually for movement i.e. most of the day. I suspect this would work better if directed inside only away from outside movement, although lighting changes etc are still likely to trigger it.

Night vision is poor and cannot be relied upon. I turn mine off at night as it records nothing except occasionally the cat knocking it over.

Overall ok as a basic entry level camera. ALSO just having the camera may put people off breaking into your house or stealing your packages or mail

Perfect camera for my bedroom facing the doorway, got it at a great deal. Highly recommend it.
It's best suited for the small to medium area where you don't need to rotate the camera. Perfect camera for my bedroom facing the doorway, got it at a great deal. Highly recommend it.

Quality product that connects to the Xiaomi network. Okay quality, not HD, but priced accordingly. Quality product that connects to the Xiaomi network. Okay quality, not HD, but priced accordingly.

A little fussy to setup. You may need to hit the reset button if it won't read the QR code during setup. Does a pretty fantastic job for the price. I have multiple properties fitted with them now.
