The Xiaomi Smart Camera C100 presents itself as a versatile surveillance solution for private residential use. It combines high-resolution imaging with intelligent AI features, placing special emphasis on privacy and ease of use. The compact device blends discreetly into any environment and offers reliable security monitoring around the clock. Brilliant image quality and discreet night vision The 2K HD camera with a 3-megapixel sensor delivers a resolution of up to 2304x1296 pixels, capturing every corner of the room in detail. The 128° wide-angle lens combined with a bright F1.6 aperture ensures razor-sharp recordings even in challenging lighting conditions. Thanks to ultra-sensitive sensors and specialized image processing algorithms, the scene remains visible in natural color reproduction even in near-total darkness. The integrated 940 nm infrared LEDs operate without a red glow ring, so no disturbing light source interferes with nighttime sleep. AI-powered monitoring and alerting The built-in AI engine analyzes sounds and image content locally to detect relevant events. It distinguishes between human movement, loud noises like breaking objects, and baby crying, sending immediate notifications if necessary. Appearing persons automatically trigger an acoustic and visual alarm to deter potential intruders. Dynamically configurable virtual fences and individually definable masking areas simultaneously protect sensitive zones from unwanted capture. Connectivity and storage options Thanks to the modern Wi-Fi 6 module, the camera connects particularly stably and achieves data rates of up to 80 Mbps. Bluetooth pairing enables quick, contactless setup via the Xiaomi Home app. H.265 video compression reduces storage and bandwidth requirements by up to 50 percent compared to H.264. Recordings can be saved either on a microSD card (8–256 GB), a NAS, or in the cloud, with the latter option available for a fee. Comprehensive data protection and physical security The Xiaomi Smart Camera C100 protects privacy from the start: a mechanical cover slider completely seals the lens at the push of a button, disabling all camera functions. Additionally, end-to-end encryption during transmission ensures secure data connections. All AI computations are performed locally on the device, so no sensitive image data needs to be permanently processed on external servers. Seamless setup and intuitive control Installation is done in three simple steps: download the app and link the camera, attach the mounting plate at the desired location and snap in the device, adjust the viewing angle. Voice control via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant allows hands-free activation and deactivation of the camera. For real-time conversations, a two-way voice function with high-quality 3A audio technology is available, including echo cancellation, noise suppression, and automatic gain control.
