Xiaomi is bringing video calling back to its smart camera lineup, but this time the camera has a screen built right into it. The Xiaomi Smart Camera Video Call Version 2 is now up on Xiaomi Youpin for crowdfunding, set to begin on August 26. It is priced at 429 yuan (around $60).
Xiaomi Smart Camera Video Call Version 2 Specifications
The new camera follows last year’s Smart Camera Video Call Edition, but Xiaomi has upgraded almost every part of the device. It features a 3.97-inch fully laminated color screen with a 480 × 800 resolution. The buttons around the display are also larger and offer clearer feedback.
The camera supports two-way video calls between the camera and a phone, as well as between two cameras. You get three ways to make a call: with a hand gesture, by pressing a button, or through an automatically linked call.
For audio, the camera uses two microphones along with a large speaker and intelligent noise reduction. Xiaomi says this helps keep voices clear even when there is background noise.
The camera has an 8MP sensor that can record at up to 3840 × 2160 resolution, giving it 4K video recording. It also uses a new horizontal pan-and-tilt system that can rotate 360 degrees. The camera can be manually tilted between 0 and 30 degrees, allowing users to view different parts of a room without moving the device.
Powering the device is a 1.5T chip that Xiaomi says offers 50% more computing power than the previous generation. The extra performance allows it to run larger AI models for improved scene and activity detection.
The Smart Camera Video Call Version 2 also works with Xiaomi’s HyperConnect system. This allows it to connect with other smart home devices. During a video call, users can view the camera’s live feed directly on the screen. Xiaomi also lets users share camera access with family members.
