Xiaomi today announced a new smart product – the MIJIA Smart Video Doorbell 2. The product is expected to be launched under the Youpin crowdfunding platform at 10 AM on March 11. During the exercise, it will retail for 179 yuan ($25) but the price will thereafter be adjusted to 199 yuan($28).
The company only released a teaser video which contained the device. From the video, we can grab that this model will come in black colour. It seems to be an upgrade of the smart doorbell launched under crowdfunding last year known as Zero Smart Doorbell. This model has a larger form factor, adopting a rectangular shape that is longer than its predecessor.
The design is even more minimalist and does a decent job of masking the camera, making it look like an ordinary doorbell. The hardware and software are topnotch, as it packs an AI-enabled camera which allows you to monitor your home front. The AI deploys such features as facial recognition function. There is also motion detection such that if there is someone at the door, the camera will snap and send to your connected smartphone. The doorbell can also be linked with other AIoT products from Xiaomi like the smart touchscreen speaker and others. When connected, you can use the touchscreen speaker’s display screen to view who’s at the door in real-time.
Just below the camera is an oval doorbell button. There is equally a square-shaped portable doorbell receiver which is placed indoors. We believe the doorbell will still have an adhesive pad for mounting it outside.
On the whole, this looks like a trimmed-down version rather than an upgrade as the white version looks sleek and cooler. We’ll bring you more details when the device is launched.
