Xiaomi has just launched a new security camera that is sure to be a game-changer in the world of home monitoring. The Xiaomi Smart Camera C500 Dual-Camera Edition features a unique dual-lens setup and improved image quality, making it the perfect solution for anyone looking to keep their home safe and secure.
The C500 Dual-Camera Edition sports a configuration that is unlike any other, with two separate lenses: a wide-angle 4MP fixed lens with a 110° field of view, and a 4MP PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) lens offering a 58° field of view. This setup allows for more expansive coverage and the ability to zoom in for detailed examination of specific areas. The PTZ lens also offers 360° horizontal rotation and 93° vertical tilt, minimizing blind spots and ensuring that every corner of your home is protected.
One of the standout features of the C500 Dual-Camera Edition is its impressive low-light performance. The camera uses a combination of a high-sensitivity image sensor and 16 built-in 940nm infrared illuminators to ensure that you can see clearly, even in the darkest of conditions.
Xiaomi is also emphasizing the C500 Dual-Camera Edition’s advanced AI capabilities. The camera supports dual AI detection, allowing it to differentiate between humans, pets, and even crying babies. This feature ensures that you are only alerted to the movements and sounds that matter, reducing the number of false alarms and giving you peace of mind. The camera also offers a “virtual fence” feature that triggers alerts when movement crosses a designated virtual boundary, providing an extra layer of security.
The C500 Dual-Camera Edition also offers innovative dual-camera collaboration. By long-pressing a specific area on the fixed-lens feed, the PTZ lens will automatically rotate and zoom in for a closer view. Users can also use the Mijia App to point and view important details in a linked manner. Additionally, the camera supports dual-screen playback, allowing for simultaneous viewing from both lenses. Notably, each lens can be put to sleep independently, giving you even more control over your home monitoring.
For security, the C500 Dual-Camera Edition features a built-in Mijia security chip to prevent unauthorized access and data leaks. The camera also features a built-in independent sound cavity and a large speaker for clear two-way voice communication, allowing you to talk to your loved ones or ward off unwanted visitors.
Additionally, the camera includes a built-in Wi-Fi 6 chip for enhanced signal strength and range, ensuring that you are always connected to your home. The C500 Dual-Camera Edition also supports Xiaomi’s Pengpai Zhilian smart home platform, allowing integration with other Xiaomi devices for automated scenarios and even more comprehensive home monitoring.
The Xiaomi Smart Camera C500 Dual-Camera Edition will be available for crowdfunding on Xiaomi Mall and Youpin starting June 10th at a price of 319 yuan (approximately $47 USD). The official retail price will be 349 yuan (approximately $52 USD), making it an affordable and effective solution for anyone looking to keep their home safe and secure.
