Xiaomi has launched the Smart Camera 3 3K, an affordable indoor security camera equipped with a 5MP sensor and advanced low-light imaging. The product carries an official price of 199 yuan ($28) but is currently available at a discounted launch price of 169 yuan ($24) in China.
Xiaomi Smart Camera 3 3K Specifications
The Smart Camera 3 3K captures video at up to 2960 × 1666 resolution, offering nearly three times the detail of standard 1080p models. Xiaomi claims the higher resolution improves facial recognition and object visibility in security footage, especially during playback and zooming.
The device uses Xiaomi’s ultra-low-light full-color technology, allowing it to retain color footage in dim conditions longer than conventional models. In completely dark environments, it activates eight infrared fill lights that enable clear black-and-white night vision without emitting visible red light.
The camera includes a dual-motor pan-tilt system that supports 360-degree horizontal and 109-degree vertical rotation. It supports human motion tracking, allowing it to automatically follow a moving person while keeping them centered in the frame.
Xiaomi has placed strong emphasis on data protection. Each unit integrates a Mijia security chip with a unique private key and digital certificate. Video transmission is encrypted, and cloud storage is protected with AES-128 encryption. It also offers to set custom sleep schedules to temporarily disable the camera during specific hours.
The Smart Camera 3 3K performs on-device human detection using local AI, which improves response time by avoiding cloud processing. When paired with a Xiaomi cloud subscription, the camera enables AI-powered face recognition to differentiate between familiar and unfamiliar faces and send notifications accordingly.
Xiaomi has included two-way voice communication supported by a large-diameter speaker and an eight-meter pickup range microphone array with noise reduction. This allows remote communication with people in the room through the Xiaomi Home app.
The device supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi networks for flexible connectivity and uses H.265 encoding to reduce video file size and bandwidth usage by up to 50%.
The camera supports microSD cards (8GB to 256GB), cloud storage, and NAS backup. It integrates with the Mi Home ecosystem and works with devices like Xiaomi smart displays, TVs, and XiaoAi speakers to create a connected home security system.
