Xiaomi Smart Camera C701

The Xiaomi Smart Camera C701 keeps an eye on your home in 4K Ultra HD, using an 8MP sensor with an f/1.6 aperture and a 6P optical lens. A dual-motor gimbal gives 360° horizontal pan and 109° vertical tilt, while a 1 TOPS AI chip handles baby crying, pet and human detection locally on the device rather than in the cloud. A physical lens shield and dual-band Wi-Fi 6 round out a camera built for everyday home monitoring.

Key features & benefits

4K Ultra HD at 3840 x 2160
An 8MP sensor with f/1.6 aperture and 6P optical lens captures sharp detail, so faces and small movements stay readable when you zoom in.

360° pan and 109° tilt
The dual-motor gimbal lets you sweep the whole room remotely, with panoramic, timed and fixed-point monitoring modes.

Local AI detection
Crying baby detection, pet detection and tracking (cats and dogs), human detection and tracking, and loud noise detection all run on the 1 TOPS chip on the device, not in the cloud.

940nm infrared night vision
Clear images in complete darkness up to a stated 10m, with no visible red glow to disturb sleep.

HDR and high light sensitivity
Self-adaptive HDR preserves highlight and shadow detail, and a sensitive sensor keeps full-colour images going later into low light.

Physical lens shielding
Timed, time-specific or manual lens shielding physically covers the lens when you want privacy, in one tap.

Dual-band Wi-Fi 6
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz support with OFDMA reduces interference and latency for a steadier live feed.

Flexible storage and two-way audio
Records to microSD (8 GB to 256 GB), cloud storage or network-attached storage using efficient H.265 encoding, and supports two-way voice calls through the app.

How to set up & use

Setup takes three steps: download the Xiaomi Home app (version 10.2 or above), power the camera on with the supplied adapter and cable, then scan the QR code on the base of the camera in the app. Place it upright on a table or shelf, or mount it inverted on a ceiling using the included wall mounting kit and template sticker (rotate the image in the app for inverted mounting). AI features such as crying baby, pet, human and loud noise detection are off by default and are enabled under AI settings in the app.

Connectivity & compatibility

Works with the Xiaomi Home app on Android 8 and iOS 12.0 or above. Connects over dual-band Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, with Bluetooth 5.4 for setup. Voice control is supported through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant on compatible devices.

Care & safety

Use the camera on your own property only, and let household members and regular visitors know that a camera is present.
Local law governs the recording of other people, including neighbours and shared spaces — check the rules before you position the camera.
Mount it out of easy reach of small children and pets, and make sure the base or wall fixing is secure.
Xiaomi does not state a weather or IP rating for this model, so treat it as an indoor camera and do not place it outdoors or anywhere it may get wet.
Keep the operating temperature between -10°C and 40°C and use only the supplied 5V 2A adapter and cable.
Use the physical lens shield or timed shielding when you want the camera covered, and keep the app and firmware updated.
