IP security camera Xiaomi Smart Camera C201 — Indoor spherical 2MP 1920x1080, 110° FOV, pan 360°, tilt 0–108°, Wi‑Fi, IR 940 nm

The Xiaomi Smart Camera C201 is an indoor spherical IP security camera with 2 MP (1920×1080) resolution, 110° field of view, 360° pan and 0–108° tilt range. It supports Wi‑Fi connectivity, H.265 encoding, IR illumination at 940 nm for low‑light monitoring and offers both flat and inverted mounting for ceiling, wall or desk installation. The camera features a physical lens shielding mechanism and a finance‑grade MJA1 security chip with AES‑128 cloud encryption to protect data transmission and storage.

Advantages

The camera provides full encryption of data transmission and AES‑128 protection for cloud data while allowing customizable sleep time to manage connectivity. Local AI human detection and motion tracking operate without cloud processing for faster, more precise alerts. Panoramic 360° monitoring combined with smooth pan‑tilt control delivers broad coverage, and H.265 encoding reduces storage and bandwidth needs. Additional benefits include two‑way HD audio with a large‑diameter speaker and noise‑cancelling microphone, full‑colour night vision with a high‑sensitivity sensor, and enhanced infrared night vision for clear images in darkness.

Suitable for

• Monitoring living rooms, nurseries and bedrooms
