Xiaomi has
released its cheapest PTZ camera – Xiaomi Mi camera SE PTZ version. The Xiaomi
Mi camera SE comes with a 149 yuan ($21) price tag. Before the release of this
PTZ SE model, Xiaomi has released three PTZ camera models: PTZ version (1080P),
PTZ version 2K (1296P), PTZ version Pro (1296P).
Like the Xiaomi Mi 8/9 SE, the SE is the
low-end version. If we compare this device with the 199 yuan PTZ version, the
Xiaomi Mi camera SE does not support vertical movements. It only supports
horizontal motion.
The Xiaomi Mi Camera SE PTZ version comes
with a 2-megapixel camera that can shoot 1080P high-definition video. It uses
WDR technology, which allows the screen to retain more details even if it is
backlit.
It has a 940nm infrared fill light. By
optimizing the arrangement and optical structure of the fill light, the
brightness of the fill light is more uniform. Furthermore, the night vision
permeability is stronger which ensures that there no red exposure at night.
This also means that the visuals at night will be clearer.
The PTZ version of the Xiaomi smart camera
uses a new generation of H.265 video encoding technology. Users can watch 1080P
HD videos smoothly even under 1M uplink bandwidth. It supports 32GB Micro SD
card storage (maximum) as well as NAS storage and cloud storage. The records in
the Micro SD card can also be played back at 1/4/16 times speed. This means
that users can quickly view the video.
Furthermore, this Xiaomi Mi smart camera
PTZ version can recognize humans and sounds an alarm at a suspicious movement.
For efficiency, it effectively filters movements from wind, grass, pets, and so
on. Lastly, this camera comes with a “housekeeping mode”. This mode ensures
that the alarm time-frequency is reduced to cut down false alarm.
