The Mi 360° Home Security Camera 2K is a versatile surveillance device designed for both indoor use and wall mounting, offering a comprehensive suite of features for monitoring your home. This camera is designed to be user-friendly, with straightforward installation and operation, making it accessible for a wide range of users.
At its core, the Mi 360° Home Security Camera 2K provides real-time video surveillance, allowing users to monitor their premises remotely. The camera captures video, and its advanced features ensure clear imaging even in challenging light conditions. It's equipped with a lens, microphone, and loudspeaker, enabling two-way communication and audio monitoring. The device also includes an indicator light that communicates its status, such as connection status, network errors, and update progress.
One of the key functionalities is its ability to record video. This is facilitated by a microSD card slot, which supports cards up to 32 GB. Once a compatible microSD card is installed and the camera is powered on, it automatically begins recording. This ensures continuous surveillance and the ability to review past events.
The camera integrates with the Mi Home/Xiaomi Home app, which serves as the central control hub. Through the app, users can view real-time surveillance footage, adjust image sharpness, and control the horizontal and vertical angles of the camera's lens. This pan-and-tilt capability allows for a broader coverage area, reducing blind spots. The app also enables users to capture still images and record video clips directly.
A significant feature is the "Home Surveillance Assistant." When enabled, this assistant leverages the camera's motion detection capabilities. If human movement or other real-time changes are detected within the surveilled area, the camera will record video and send a push notification to the user's smartphone via the app. This proactive alert system enhances security by notifying users of potential intrusions or unusual activities. The Home Surveillance Assistant is highly customizable, allowing users to set surveillance schedules (24-hour, daytime, nighttime, or custom periods), adjust alert sensitivity, and define alert time intervals, tailoring the surveillance to their specific needs and preferences.
For monitoring in low-light or complete darkness, the camera is equipped with "Infrared Night Vision." As ambient light levels decrease, the camera automatically switches to night vision mode, utilizing built-in infrared lights to capture clear video. This ensures that surveillance remains effective around the clock, regardless of lighting conditions.
The camera also supports "Video Sharing," a convenient feature that allows users to share access to their camera's feed with others. This is managed through the device sharing option in the app's settings menu. Recipients need to download the Mi Home/Xiaomi Home app and sign in with their Mi account to view the shared camera feed. This is particularly useful for families or small businesses where multiple individuals may need access to the surveillance feed.
The Mi 360° Home Security Camera 2K offers flexible installation options. It can be placed on horizontal surfaces such as desks, dining tables, or coffee tables. Alternatively, it can be mounted on a wall. The wall mounting process involves marking positions for the base mounting holes, drilling two holes (approximately 6 mm in diameter and 30 mm deep), inserting plastic wall plugs, and then securing the base with screws using a Phillips head screwdriver. Once the base is fixed, the camera aligns with grooves on the base and is turned clockwise to lock into place. It's crucial to ensure the wall can support at least three times the camera's total weight and that the camera is securely fixed to prevent injury.
Before initial use, a microSD card needs to be installed for recording. The camera must be turned off, and the lens pushed upward to reveal the slot. The microSD card is then inserted with its contact points facing downward. It's important to disconnect the camera from power before installing or removing the card and to use a genuine microSD card (up to 32 GB) with a reading/writing speed of no less than U1/Class 10.
To power on the camera, the charging cable is plugged into the Micro-USB port on the back. The camera automatically turns on, and the indicator light quickly blinks orange, signaling that it's ready for connection. During operation, users are advised not to manually turn the lens or force its rotation. If the lens positioning becomes inaccurate, it can be calibrated within the Mi Home/Xiaomi Home app.
Connecting the camera to the Mi Home/Xiaomi Home app is a straightforward process. Users need to download and install the app (by scanning a QR code or searching in the app store) and ensure their phone is connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. After opening the app and tapping the "+" icon, users follow the prompts to add the device. The indicator light quickly blinking orange signifies that the camera is waiting for a connection, and it turns blue once successfully connected.
In cases where the network connection or the paired Mi account has changed, the camera's factory settings can be restored. This involves pressing and holding the reset button for approximately three seconds. The indicator light will quickly blink orange, confirming that factory settings have been restored, after which the camera can be reconnected to the app. Restoring factory settings does not delete content on the microSD card.
Playback of recorded video is accessible through the app. Once a microSD card is installed and the camera is powered, it automatically records. Users can tap the playback button in the app and drag the timeline to select the desired time period for review. The maximum supported playback speed is 16x, allowing for quick review of footage.
Proper maintenance and adherence to precautions are essential for the optimal performance and longevity of the Mi 360° Home Security Camera 2K.
The camera is designed to operate within a specific temperature range of -10°C to 40°C. Using it outside this range can affect its performance and potentially damage the device. As a precision electronic product, it should not be installed in environments with high humidity levels, and care must be taken to prevent water from entering the device.
To ensure the best image quality, the camera's lens should not be placed facing or next to reflective surfaces, such as glass windows or white walls. Reflective surfaces can cause the image to appear overly bright in areas close to the camera and darker in areas further away, or even produce entirely white images, compromising surveillance effectiveness.
A strong Wi-Fi signal is crucial for stable operation. Users should ensure the camera is installed in an area with good Wi-Fi coverage and avoid placing it near objects that can interfere with the Wi-Fi signal, such as large metal objects or microwave ovens. These can degrade signal strength and lead to connectivity issues.
For user safety, it is recommended to maintain a separation distance of at least 20 cm between the camera's antenna and the user's body during normal use.
The device is also designed with environmental responsibility in mind. It bears the WEEE symbol, indicating that it is waste electrical and electronic equipment and should not be mixed with unsorted household waste. Instead, it should be handed over to a designated collection point for recycling. This practice helps protect human health and the environment by preventing potential negative consequences associated with improper disposal.
The manufacturer, Shanghai Imilab Technology Co., Ltd., provides declarations of conformity for both EU and UK regulations, ensuring the product meets relevant safety and environmental standards. These declarations are available online for reference.
In summary, the Mi 360° Home Security Camera 2K is a robust and feature-rich surveillance solution, offering real-time monitoring, intelligent alerts, night vision, and flexible usage options, all while emphasizing user safety and environmental responsibility.
