Xiaomi product lineup cuts across all
categories. In the smart home segment, the company has several surveillance
cameras as well as action cams. The brand has recently launched a new PTZ
camera which happens to be the cheapest of its model so far. The model is
dubbed Mi Smart Camera SE PTZ version and is priced at 149 yuan (US$ 21).
The new camera is the fourth of such PTZ
camera that Xiaomi will be releasing. Prior to this, Xiaomi Smart Camera is
available in three PTZ camera models: one with 1080P resolution, a 2K
resolution (1296P) version and a Pro version (1296P). The Mi Smart Camera Pro
is even available on Giztop presently.
This model doesn’t have the automatic
vertical pan/tilt control but you can manual tilt it vertically. However, it
supports automatic horizontal rotation. The camera is equipped 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 and the night vision permeability is stronger,
ensuring no red exposure at night and no visual pollution.
The Mi Smart Camera SE PTZ version uses a
new generation of H.265 video encoding technology. The bit rate is 50% lower
than before. Users can watch 1080P HD video smoothly even under 1M uplink
bandwidth. The camera supports 32GB external storage but you can also use
Network-attached storage (NAS) or cloud storage. The historical records stored
in the Micro SD card can also be played back at 1x, 4x and 16x speed, making it
easy and faster to quickly scan through a video.
In addition, the smart camera comes with
humanoid detection features meaning it identifies humans. This ensures the
camera doesn’t raise a false alarm due to movement of pets, wind, grass or
other objects. The Mi Smart Camera SE PTZ version is now on sale on Xiaomi
Youpin.
