Xiaomi‘s smart home products have got a new addition in the Mi Smart Camera 2 PTZ version. The smart camera carries an affordable 249 yuan (~$39) but is presently available for pre-order at a discounted price of 229 yuan (~$36).
The new Mi Smart Camera 2 PTZ version features a 4-megapixels sensor with a 2.5K image resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. This is an improvement over the 2K camera as it brings better image clarity.
Further, the camera uses an F1.4 aperture lens which doubles the amount of light input compared to an F2.0 aperture. The camera is also equipped with a 6P lens which effectively reduces the rate of light loss. In terms of image quality, the image is translucent just like seeing it in person. The built-in high-sensitivity image sensor with a high-performance image algorithm can still present color images smoothly in the ultra-low light environment.
At night, the Mi Smart Camera 2 PTZ version has a built-in 940nm infrared fill light. It doesn’t output any visible red light which won’t disturb the owner’s sleep at night.
In addition, the camera adopts a dual-motor PTZ design. In this regard, the lens can be flexibly rotated up and down, left and right. The camera can rotate up to 360 degrees horizontally and 108 degrees vertically. The camera can be paired with a smartphone which will be used to see a panoramic view of the home. The camera also supports two-way real-time voice calls with a pickup distance of as far as 5 meters. The microphone also features support for intelligent noise reduction delivering clearer voice output.
The rich array of features on board the smart home camera includes a built-in AI humanoid detection module that can detect the outline of the human shape faster. The camera can automatically track and shoot after the human shape is locked, reducing the false alarm caused by other object disturbances, thus reducing the trouble of false alarms.
In terms of security, each chip has a unique private key and certificate which effectively guarantees data communication and storage security. At the same time, the whole process of data transmission is encrypted including cloud data which is encrypted with AES128-bit. Home owners can also customize the camera’s sleep time.
