Product details
The Xiaomi Smart Camera C301 is a connected monitoring camera with a published 3MP; 2304 × 1296 image specification. It works with Xiaomi Home; Android 8.0 or iOS 12.0 and later for remote live viewing, recording settings and authorised access from a compatible phone. Position the unit where its view suits the intended monitoring area and its network connection is reliable.
Lens coverage is 360° horizontal; 107° vertical. Night viewing uses Six infrared illuminators with no visible red glow; low-light colour imaging. Lighting, reflections and placement affect the recorded picture. Check the live image after mounting and avoid reflective objects close to the lens, which can interfere with the useful night view.
Local human detection can send alerts without using cloud processing for the detection algorithm. The lens can roll upwards into the body for physical shielding. An MJA1 security chip, encrypted transfer and customisable sleep times support privacy controls. Some functions require manual activation in Xiaomi Home. Two-way calls start from the phone, with manufacturer-stated microphone pickup up to five metres under laboratory conditions.
Connectivity comprises Wi-Fi 6, IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ax 2.4GHz. Configure the device through Xiaomi Home before completing installation. Router position, walls and surrounding interference affect connection quality. Choose the correct app region and network during setup, then test remote viewing from the intended installation position.
Recording options comprise 8–256GB microSD; cloud. Compatible memory cards, where supported, are purchased separately. Cloud functions and subscriptions depend on regional availability and the selected service. Review the recording interval, alert frequency and playback settings rather than assuming every advertised service starts automatically.
Two-way voice communication uses the built-in microphone and speaker with the phone app. Calls and notifications depend on an active connection and suitable settings. Review authorised device access, sleep schedules and monitoring preferences during setup, especially when other household members will also view the camera.
The package contains the camera, charging cable, manual, screws and mounting base, warranty notice and mounting template sticker; power adapter purchased separately. Follow the mounting and power instructions, support cables correctly and confirm the final viewing position before tightening the installation. Keep the lens and connections clean and maintain the protective covers required for the selected placement.
