Thank god for the comments mentioning the recording limits, I almost bought it... Also there was nothing mentinoned about the ability to record/view in the cloud, which I thnk is a super important option to mention and overview. Appreciate the review, but bummed about all the missing info :(

[@TechMishka]

I didn't use any of the cloud services, since I generally prefer to not store such footage on clouds.

[@glebv]

​@@TechMishka Well, since you're doing a review for the benefit of others, perhaps consider covering the products' features nonetheless? Just a suggestion :)

[@alachica1601]

I bought one last month and it's pretty much unfit to be a "security camera" for three main reasons: (1) It has a start recording delay of about 2-3 seconds. It may not seem a lot but it actually matters especially when it's supposed to be a security camera. When a car passes by in a relatively normal speed, the camera starts recording just as the car is about to leave the frame. What more if it's a speeding car? See 8:55 time stamp of this video. That's pretty much all you get. (2) The max 15 sec recording time. It's just not enough. (3) Delay in triggering another record when there's continuous movement. Observing the gaps, I estimate about 30 secs to 90 secs delay in between. That's more than enough time for a crime to happen. This may be useful for another purpose but definitely not as an outdoor security camera.

[@TechMishka]

Sounds like cars are not the best fit. If it is a human being - it is a different story.

[@alachica1601]

@@TechMishka Well it depends on what the human being plans to do. It will capture the person arriving but it won't tell me what he did after 15 seconds.

[@079SE]

@@TechMishka I have same issue even for human, delay 3 seconds and the 15 seconds it's not enough

[@nongthip]

I have four of this camera now, and for the relatively low price it does quite well. But it is slow... takes a few seconds to trigger and record motion or capture an image. For example I have a bird feeding table with a cam on a tripod, and in the time it takes to capture a special moment, the bird is sometimes already gone. Yep I could buy something with much faster response, but for considerably more money$$$. You get what you pay for and this camera delivers accordingly.

[@janoskis4727]

I have 3 of these. Went for them as they advertised 3 months battery life and I was like - sure, I can grab the ladder every 3 months and charge it. Reality: 1 week, 2 weeks tops. Recording start is delayed big time, 15 seconds recording is nothing, and you can't actually keep it on the charger as it is then no longer water and dust proof, defeating the "outdoor" feature. Good picture quality and that's about it - I'm trying to return them and get a refund.

[@dicksonpua]

Dang! I thought I'm the only one going through this 🤦‍♂️ Mine similarly 2 weeks tops then it dies.... Still trying to figure out how I can extend to 90 days 🤦‍♂️

[@cihaniboule4708]

There is always the solution of the solar panel... Waterproofing? Add silicone sealant, avoid anything acid sealant and there will be no damages... Easy no? Maybe easier to return the camera ☺️

[@megacap55]

those cameras just is not like what you think, first do not records 24/7 only gets records when gets triggered the motion sensor or anything changes in the place, and only 15 seconds footage only, second the battery duration no will not get 3 months with them straight with certain luck 1 week or so, and the only good is the image quality besides that can not be watched the footage or managed through an computer and the existence of an SD Card slot or USB A is ridiculuous since all the time the fragments of video gets in the cloud but not in the card, and there is not an set up for make work on the SD card, so is an false ads of xiaomi or best said another half baked product of xiaomi and just the fans forgives all the half baked features or the fact that have to set up in china or even Singapore mi home to make things works.

[@mikeie9209]

They are not waterproof neither without charging. Mine died in a month. Got a conclusion: "Not a warranty case". And comment from official support that IP65 is not rain proof: "We have double checked with Tamet, official repair center for Xiaomi, and they shared that these cameras have IP65 normative that says that cameras are spillproof and disto proof... They can not be exposed to Rain or equivalent"

[@TechSpaceYT]

In Eastern Europe we don't need cameras, we have babushkas instead (aka StreetView)

Ahahahahah, but how will you keep record of the funny bros that steal your kiselo zele from the balcony?! 🤐🤐

[@pifandrei5743]

Yea,if you live in the country side with them horses and cows :))

[@user-jq3eq8ul8b]

This camera can't do a 24/7 continuous recording. The motion-activated recording can be not helpful as it only records at max of 15 seconds. After that 15 seconds, there is a delay of 30 seconds before it starts recording again. This is bad because you might miss important footage. Or if you guys know a work around on this problem, then this can be a great camera at a great price.

[@TechMishka]

Thanks for this summary!

[@morothia]

Actually even on highest sensibility settings, it regularly fails to pick up movement as it's IR based detection. It picks up the movements only if they happen close to the camera or are IR specific - like cars (fails to detect people in coats that prevent some heat exposure in my case. It fails to pick up coated or wet surfaces of clothing as moving 50% of the time). And the 15sec max recording time is terrible, I would like a minute recording at least, despite hurting the battery (using it as a security camera in remote place, where it gets triggered once a day or so). If the detection gets some improvements and the max recording time gets longer recording time options - it would be really useful. Now it's not acceptable and I'm not satisfied with the product.

[@TheRabbitPlays]

This is really a bad thing because it happens to me alot,i see like a shadow on the camara but when the person gets to the front of the camara it wont film again

[@alex754411]

[@MujagaWudakhi]

Hi, thanks for the great review. I bought this and configured it for my home but I have daily outtages of where camera goes offline for 1-2 minutes. The cam router is only 3-4 meters away from Camera, I have the latest firmware updates on both router and camera. What can we I about it? Does it make sense to turn off the primary WiFi router since they are close, maybe there is some interference? Thnx

[@gergobille9534]

Hey there. I have the same problem: after a quite short (15sec) recording the cam rests a bit (missing footage) then can record again 15sec. What can be a solution for this issue? And what is "Real-time footage auto stop time" exactly? Can help this issue? Thanks for your help in advance :)

[@kenrock2]

in my experience owning this CCTV is not a good one. I end up getting EZVIZ cable unit instead which is much more reliable connectivity compare the battery unit. Here are list of the problem 1. if you are lucky the battery can last you about 1 month depends on how much recording you have; else it can only last for 1 week. I have tested 2 fully charge camera, after 7 days one unit has already sending battery alert 20% left while the other has remaining 92%. I believe there is battery quality issue on different batch. 2. if the camera has been set to sleep mode, sometimes it doesn't auto wake up. Even manually waking it up has some issue. I had to restart the gateway unit in order to get the camera unit working again. 3. recoding detection has delay or no recording at all. If the person walk in the house in speed walking, there is no footage capture in the recording. Because this camera is conserving battery therefore waking up would have some delay in recording and turns out missing important footage when someone break entries. Overall, this product is not recommended despite the quality footage, practical use is a failed.

[@TechMishka]

Thank you so much for sharing all that.

[@goransilic9479]

It is not bad battery, unfortunately... This seems to be a known issue with these cameras, where one for no apparent reason starts draining extremely fast, like even 20% a day, with just few recordings. I have sent already 2 to repair center, but this does not seem HW related. I managed to solve this issue by turning camera off/on soon after charging it to 100%. If I do not do this, it drains fast, if I do this - it works normal. So, some SW bug most likely...

[@davidere7779]

Thanks for the review! I'm asking if the receiver could be linked without lan cable , buy with wifi. Thank you

Thanks for great review. I have the problem where the Camera keeps disconnecting from my network, better with the Gateway on the Wi-Fi and not on Ethernet and battery not maintaining charge and requires hard Power adaptor connected. Also noted there is a 5 seconds delays from the Video feed, not sure why as my Network is fast I thought. Wonder if there is some setting I need changing. Video Quality on Auto and tried lower quality and no change. If you have a SD card connected will it keep writing to it and overwrite after it is full? Also Settings - Addiitional settings - Security settings requires a 4 Digit Password. Cannot find what this is in the Manual.

You can use the option with a cable. However the camera is never 100% online - it starts recording only when there is motion detected.

[@TechMishka]

Thanks for the support, mate! I guess these cameras are anyways supposed to be good at mainly one thing :-)

[@cihaniboule4708]

My main complain, and the video was very explicit about it: the camera is not water repellent, we can see that it remains on it.... If the camera is exposed to rain, snow, etc both camera and sensor will become totally useless. After 15s video recording is...ouch Many complain about the short battery capacity, well there are other camera options that would last months or even a year, at 300$ minimum or you could install a little solar panel for 10-20$... The USB C port and waterproofing is not a problem, use a sealant like silicone type, avoid anything like acid sealant.

[@TechMishka]

Good points raised by your side. The idea with sealant is very practical.

[@CoroPacemDeus]

Excellent Review! Just a quick question: Do you know how many cameras can be connected to the same wireless hub?

[@nongthip]

According to the videos I've watched you can connect 4 cameras per hub. I just ordered one online so will verify that when it arrives.

[@TechMishka]

Good to know, thanks mate.

[@nongthip]

To further respond on your question, I bought four of this camera and connected them to one wireless hub. BUT it appears only three can be used at the same time. I'm watching three cameras live now, but if I switch on #4 it turns off #1 and vise versa. On my standard Android phone (6-inch display) it's only possible to see 3 cameras at a time, and if I scroll down to the 4th camera it usually switches off the 1st camera. Also if trying to sort the camera ordering it only shows 3 lines, so again I think three cameras per hub is the practical limit. Oh, and the battery life of these cameras if you keep them turned on all the time is only about 8-10 hours, so I found it best to install them with a wired power source. Hope that helps.

[@georgiatrudell7787]

Great Battery Powered Camera

[@TechMishka]

Yeah, it is a good one as long as you don't need uninterrupted footage source.

Hi.Does this camera work without internet?

[@venttolailkka6899]

I have two this camera. Every week you have to take one down and reset and install it again. Why does the camera go into sleep mode once a week? The sleep mode cannot be removed except by resetting it again and again. The software is still not good. I think the timing in the program is some bug. Or, The software cannot restart if something happens on the internet. Another problem I have not received an answer to, I should have the global version, but nothing can be installed if the phone's language is not set to English. I live in Thailand, the cameras were bought here, and the place of use is set to Thailand. This is still far from finished software. You can't ask about anything because nobody just knows anything about "how it works".

[@TechMishka]

You do need the received.

[@jasonf557]

I think they should have a different option to have a wired version for the power supply on this camera. The built in battery will deteriorate after time.

[@nongthip]

You can hard-wire this camera to a full-time power source using the supplied type-C USB charger cable/brick. I have four of them installed that way and they stay 100% charged almost constantly. But I agree that maybe the first thing to go bad with these cameras over time could be the internal non-replaceable battery. We shall see...

[@TechMishka]

You can always use a power source to keep it at full power.

[@MrsBablica]

@@TechMishka how can this be executed? Camera has silicon cover where plug goes, and if this silicone cover is opened, water will come in while driping. How can this be prevented?

[@joaovitorino4773]

That is true, the battery will deteriorate over time. However, most of the Lithium batteries like this support 500 charge/discharge cycles. That means that if you only charge every 90 days, the battery should last about 750 months, or 62.5 years, maximum. But let's say the camera activates a lot, and we have to charge every 15 days, and additionally the battery deteriorates faster for some other reason, supporting only 250 charge cycles... then, in this bad scenario, the battery life will still be around 10 years. In 10 years you'll probably change your security system, but still, if everything goes well, the battery should last much more than 10 years...

Hi, can u open the camera on the pc or only via phone app?

[@TechMishka]

You can open it via a PC for copying files.

[@user-md5hr6cv4y]

Does this record 24 hour per day or they just record during motion trigger?

[@TechMishka]

Motion trigger only.

[@mrinteldaplug7512]

Hi can you do remote monitoring?

[@TechMishka]

Sure.

[@yassamdy9626]

I want to buy one, but the summer temperature is higher than 50°C, can it handle this heat?

[@TechMishka]

I think so.

[@vukovarMK3]

Hi, in specification wrote battery life is about 90 days on one charge. But, mine battery is gone after 6-7 days. Is this factory problem or ? I was bought camera before 3 weeks.

[@nongthip]

The 90-day battery life claim is TOTALLY dependent on how much time the camera is on. I have four of them and IF left on constantly the battery only lasts about 8-10 hours. So I decided to install them hard wired to a power source using the supplied type-C USB charging cable/brick. Now the cameras are running at 100% charged all the time.

[@TechMishka]

The 90-day advertisement has a lot of catches... Has to be warm and the camera not to trigger more than 20 times per day,

[@prigoscrm]

Are you joking? So it only records after a motion is detected? I nearly ordered it. I need a 24/7 recording camera. What if I use it in a crowded place where cars moove every minute? Which camera should I buy for 24/7 recording?

[@TechMishka]

If 24/7 camera is needed - better get something with DVR and traditional-like setup.

[@prigoscrm]

I bought the Imilab EC3, satisfied.

How to remove the clicking sound whenever the camera turns on/ off

[@TechMishka]

You can't ...

[@niccomedia]

looks good but why the battery ? cannot run on adaptor?

[@TechMishka]

Of course it can - use a Type-C cable and done.

[@matteovalleriani807]

how work_? can be the global be used with app in mainland china server?

[@TechMishka]

Not sure about that. I think not.

[@RA13M76IN]

Hi How does it connect to the internet? And how can I watch from another province? Tanks

[@TechMishka]

You do the setup via the app, it links to Xiaomi's cloud and you can see the camera footage from any point in the worls.

[@ekab.7586]

How far can the indoor receiver be from the camera? What is the range?

[@TechMishka]

There are a lot of variables here... It uses standard Wi-Fi signal, and the receiver has Antennas which extend the range quite a lot. I have gone up to 40m and it was fine. But had no easy way to test it any further. If there are walls in between - the range may be drastically less. Interference from other wireless networks may also worsen the signal.

[@ekab.7586]

[@rafaelhiggsestanqueiro148]

Hi, Tech4all, hello from Portugal! I bought this camera a few days ago and it works very good, so far; I just wonder if is it posible to get a sound notification, some kind of an alarm and not just the ordinary notification on the telephone screen. Thank you for your help and congratulations for your video, too. Rafael

[@TechMishka]

Hey Rafael, warmest regards to Portugal! I didn't find any way to enable audible alarms. So the notifications via phone/watch are the only options.

[@retirate1dia]

@@TechMishka Hello, Michael, deeply thankfull for your answer.. I think this camera is good and I'll get used to these notifications :-) Thanks again and best regards from Portugal (Valença do Minho)

how do you continuously record with these?

Not sure if they can do this

[@aprilljam]

Can you link more than 1 camera to a simgle receiver?

[@MichelNajjar]

For a single receiver (indoor unit), you can link up to 4 cameras, and if you want to use more than 4 cameras, you need to buy another xiaomi receiver (indoor unit).

[@TechMishka]

Thanks for the help, Michel.
