Mi Home Security camera 360 1080p || Unboxing & Review
A cheap Rs 2,000 camera from a Chinese company called Yoosee helped me get basic surveillance up and running at my place. The Wi-Fi enabled camera could show me 360 degree views in 720P and I could talk to and hear my dog through the accompanying app on my phone, since the camera unit at home had a built-in speaker and microphone. However, despite meeting my basic security needs, the Yoosee security camera came with its own set of troubles. The app took too long to load the real-time surveillance footage and the camera panned around slowly to my instructions. There were no customisation options on the camera and the app was pretty basic. To clarify, I was still pretty satisfied with its performance because for its price tag, it even included night vision. But my need for a more refined version of the gadget, something that works fast and without interruption, remained strong. The best feature of the Mi Home Security camera, something that makes it stand out, is the accompanying Mi Home app. The app is pretty intuitive - from setup to finish. It needs to be signed into using a Mi account or one can even log in through their Facebook account to initiate the setup. A voice on the camera and instructions on the app make it an easy, guided setup process. One thing to note here is that the camera does not work with 5GHz bands so if you have a dual-band router make sure to select the 2.4GHz broadcast. Once the camera is up and running, the Mi Home app can be used to customise monitoring settings. Users can choose to surveil for 24 hours, daytime (between 08:00 to 20:00, nighttime (between 20:00 and 8:00), or a custom time frame of one’s own choosing. During these selected time slots, the Mi Home Security Camera will send alerts to the user’s phone (Android or iOS) if it detects any motion. We tested this feature and it works pretty seamlessly. Although, we would recommend setting the Alert Sensitivity to low so as to only detect large movements, else the camera will send notifications for the slightest of movement it detects, rendering you paranoid. Users also get an option of setting intervals between alarms to reduce interference. I personally think these customisation features are very handy to take control of your surveillance. It's good to see that Xiaomi just didn’t just stop at giving the camera motion detection capabilities, but also matched it with software that compliments the hardware. I never thought I would need a security camera at home, at least not for the reason that finally made me buy one - My dog. A year ago I adopted a Beagle puppy and given my 9-to-5 lifestyle, it was difficult for me to leave him behind when I went off to work. I thought a dog sitter would solve all my problems, but then came the question of trust. How could I leave my baby and my home for 8-9 hours a day to the mercy of a complete stranger. That is when, despite the perfectly secure housing complex I live in, I decided to get a home security camera. A cheap Rs 2,000 camera from a Chinese company called Yoosee helped me get basic surveillance up and running at my place. The Wi-Fi enabled camera could show me 360 degree views in 720P and I could talk to and hear my dog through the accompanying app on my phone, since the camera unit at home had a built-in speaker and microphone.
