Mi Wireless Outdoor Security Camera 1080p: a first outdoor surveillance camera in Xiaomi

By Mathieu Freitaspartager: 3

Xiaomi completes its catalog of a first outdoor surveillance camera.Coupled with a base with which she communicates in Wi-Fi, the Mi Wireless Outdoor Security Camera 1080p also incorporates a battery for a completely wireless installation.

Obviously we should not count on Xiaomi to lift your foot at the start of the school year.Always very active, the Chinese giant continues to enrich its catalog.In addition to new smartphones, he is also preparing to launch a new television, but also his first surveillance camera for the outside: the Mi Wireless Outdoor Security Camera 1080p.With the Mi 360 ° Home Security Camera 2K and 2K Pro intended for their part inside, Xiaomi therefore now offers a full range of equipment for home video surveillance and its surroundings.

Battery and Wi-Fi for easy installation

The least we can say is that Xiaomi did not do things by half for this first outdoor camera.Obviously resistant to bad weather, the Mi Wireless Outdoor Security Camera 1080p is IP65 certified for rain and we are also promised that it can work in extreme temperatures, from -20 to 50 ° C.It therefore requires no or no precautions for installation, which must also be facilitated by the integration of a 5700 mAh battery and a Wi-Fi connection 2.4 GHz.No wiring is therefore necessary on the outside.It will nevertheless have to recharge it every 3 months at best, and the Mi Wireless Outdoor Security Camera 1080p needs a connection base to access the Internet.

To be placed inside, this base connects in Wi-Fi or wired to the domestic network-an Ethernet RJ45 port is planned-and can support up to 4 cameras.Good point all the same: if Xiaomi offers free storage in the cloud, this base includes a microSD slot as well as a USB port to add a local storage solution.The recordings of the various cameras installed are not only centralized, but also kept in the event of the flight of the cameras ... as long as thieves do not penetrate inside the home at least.Note also that Xiaomi has also equipped its camera with a gyroscope to detect tremors and alert the user of flight attempts.This will not prevent the thief from continuing his mischief, but the user can always try to dissuade him with the bidirectional sound if he reacts in time.

Human detection, 1080p video and 130 ° vision angle

Of course, Xiaomi's camera must also detect intrusions on the property.To do this, it is equipped with a PIR sensor, generally less effective than video flow analysis, but less energy -consuming.Human detection is still mentioned to limit unnecessary alerts.The scope of this sensor is also announced by 7 meters, just like that of the infrared vision provided for the night elsewhere.In the event of detection, the Mi Wireless Outdoor Security Camera 1080p obviously films in 1080p, with a large field of vision of 130 °.WDR and Smart Night Vision technologies are also mentioned to improve the rendering, in the event of strong contrasts for the first and night for the second.

This new camera will be available from October 19, with a recommended public price of € 99.99 for the pack including the connection base, as a essential reminder.Alone, to complete this pack therefore, the Mi Wireless Outdoor Security Camera will be offered at € 79.99.Particular prices for an outdoor camera on battery.In comparison, you have to pay € 149 for the Essential Spotlight of Arlo and a little more for the BC1 of Ezviz and its base.It remains of course to see if the Xiaomi camera is as effective as these rivals, or approach at least.

Between chat and meals, Mathieu, it's a bit of a good friend in the home section.But it is better to flee to keep the line...and its concentration.
