Xiaomi Smart Camera C201

The Xiaomi Smart Camera C201 is an indoor Wi-Fi security camera that keeps an eye on your home in crisp 1080p Full HD. A dual-axis pan-tilt-zoom motor gives you 360° panoramic coverage from your phone, while local AI human detection and pet tracking follow movement and send alerts in real time. A physical lens shield lets you close the camera off completely whenever you want privacy at home.

Key features & benefits

1080p Full HD picture quality
A 2MP sensor records at 1920 × 1080, so faces, doorways and details stay clear when you review footage.

360° pan-tilt-zoom coverage
The dual-axis motor rotates the lens up, down, left and right from the Xiaomi Home app, letting one camera watch an entire room instead of a single fixed angle.

Local AI human detection and motion tracking
The camera recognises people and follows the movement on its own, sending alerts straight to your phone without needing cloud processing.

Pet tracking for cats and dogs
When a pet is detected the lens locks on and follows it, so you can check in on them while you are out.

Physical lens shielding
The lens hides upwards into the body, physically blocking the view rather than relying on a software switch, for genuine peace of mind at home.

Infrared night vision with low-light full colour
Six built-in infrared illuminators capture clear images in the dark without glowing red light, and the high-sensitivity sensor holds on to colour images longer in dim rooms.

Two-way voice calls
An independent large-diameter speaker chamber and noise-cancelling microphone let you talk to family, or tell the dog off, from anywhere.

Wi-Fi 6 and encrypted storage
An advanced Wi-Fi 6 chip keeps the stream stable, while the MJA1 security chip and AES-128 encryption for cloud data protect your recordings.

How to set up & use

Setup takes three steps. Download the Xiaomi Home app on your phone, plug the camera in to power it on, then use the app to scan the QR code on the bottom of the camera. Bluetooth pairing makes the initial connection a one-tap job. Once paired you can pan and tilt the lens, review the timeline, and choose between a microSD card or cloud storage for recordings.

Connectivity & compatibility

Controlled through the Xiaomi Home app on Android 8 and iOS 12.0 or above. Connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ax, Wi-Fi 6) with Bluetooth used for pairing. Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice commands on compatible devices. Storage via microSD card from 8GB to 256GB, or Xiaomi cloud storage. A microSD card and a power adapter are not included.

Care & safety

Use the camera only on property you own or occupy, and let household members and visitors know a camera is present.
Recording other people is governed by local law, so check the rules that apply in Kuwait before you point the camera at shared or public areas.
Xiaomi publishes no IP weather rating for this model, so treat it as an indoor-only camera and keep it away from humidity, rain and anywhere it could get wet.
Mount it out of easy reach and out of the reach of children, and use the supplied screws and wall plugs so it is properly secured.
Operate it between -10°C and 40°C, and power it from a 5V 1A supply only.
Wipe the lens and body with a soft dry cloth, and recalibrate the gimbal in the Xiaomi Home app now and then if it drifts after long use.

Who it suits

Anyone who wants an affordable indoor camera to keep an eye on the family home, a nursery, a pet or a small shop from their phone.
