Xiaomi has been launching various new
products for its ongoing Mi Festival. The company is primarily aiming at
different IoT appliances in a smart home, which includes the latest Smart Door
Bell 2 and Smart Door Bell Lite Edition.
Starting with the Xiaomi Smart Door Bell
2, the company has launched another home appliance that serves the purpose of
security for houses. It is essentially a small door knob with a camera,
intercom and ring button. This allows for users to talk in a two way audio
system to enquire regarding who is at the door without opening the door itself.
The camera of the Xiaomi Smart Door Bell 2 records at 1080p and can recognized
humanoid figures thanks to AI assistance.
The device also supports the XiaoAI voice
assistant and can be remotely accessed and operated. It has a 100 degree field
of view and can sense people from up to 5 meters away. When paired with a smart
display or a smartphone, this allows users to receive notifications when the door
is rung, allowing a conversation without ever having to open the door. Thus,
further helping in keeping users informed and safe.
Alongside this, Xiaomi also launched the
Smart Door Bell Lite Edition as well. As the name suggests, it is a cut down
version of the Smart Door Bell 2 and is priced appropriately too. This version
also features XiaoAI voice assistant and can even be operated remotely as well.
However, its camera only captures in HD quality but are capable of infrared
footage during night time. Its field of view is also 100 degrees but the range
is only 3 meters.
The Xiaomi Smart Door Bell 2 is priced at
199 Yuan, which roughly translates to about 28 US Dollars. On the other hand,
the Smart Door Bell Lite Edition carries a price tag of half of the former,
coming in at only 99 Yuan (US$ 14). Notably, both devices look
nearly identical and are currently available for pre order on Xiaomi’s official
website in China.
