Xiaomi has quietly been expanding its outdoor camera lineup in China. The company launched Xiaomi Smart Outdoor Camera 4 4G a while back with dual cameras and 4G connectivity. There’s also a Smart Outdoor Camera 4 Pro Triple-Cam Zoom Edition that has triple 3K lenses and 9x hybrid zoom.
Continuing the momentum, Xiaomi has launched a brand new solar-powered variant, called the Xiaomi Smart Solar Camera 4 Pro 4G Dual-Camera Edition.
The camera is now live on Xiaomi Youpin for crowdfunding, with an early-bird price starting at 579 yuan (roughly $80). Crowdfunding kicks off at 10:00 AM on July 6.
Xiaomi Smart Solar Camera 4 Pro 4G Specifications
The biggest selling point of this camera is its complete independence from traditional infrastructure. It packs dual 4G SIM card support for connectivity, so that you don’t need to rely on WiFi for video streaming. And power isn’t a concern either.
The camera comes with a built-in 9,900mAh battery that Xiaomi says can last more than a week on a single charge. On top of that, it is paired with a 7.6W solar panel, meaning it can sustain itself indefinitely under normal sunlight conditions. You install it once and largely forget about it.
On the imaging side, the Solar Camera 4 Pro carries two 5-megapixel cameras, each capable of recording at 3K resolution. Both lenses also feature a large f/1.6 aperture, each with a “white light + infrared light” combination that turns on the appropriate fill light when a person is detected.
The camera also has AOV (Always-On Video) intelligent recording. Rather than recording at full frame rate all the time, the camera dynamically adjusts based on activity. When no one is around, it drops to 1 frame every 2 seconds, saving over 90% of storage space.
Security and Alerts
When something suspicious is detected, the camera plays an audible alarm and activates a flashing light to ward off intruders. It also sends a notification to the user’s phone through the Mi Home App. It supports two-way voice communication, letting you speak directly to whoever is near the camera.
The device also supports Xiaomi’s HyperConnect for integration with other Xiaomi smart home devices and carries an IP66 rating for dust and water resistance.
Pricing and Availability
The Xiaomi Smart Solar Camera 4 Pro 4G Dual-Camera Edition is available on Xiaomi Youpin starting at 579 yuan during the crowdfunding phase beginning July 6. There’s no word yet on broader retail availability or international pricing.
