Xiaomi's latest smart home camera is now available for purchase in China after its crowdfunding debut earlier this year.
The Xiaomi Smart Camera 4 Max AI Zoom Edition brings dual cameras, AI-powered monitoring, and a high-performance chip to the indoor security segment.
Dual Cameras and Advanced Hardware
The camera is priced at 799 Yuan (~$120), matching its crowdfunding price. It features a silver-grey finish with a fabric-covered base that houses an upgraded speaker system.
The device includes a 12-megapixel telephoto camera and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera, both with f/1.6 apertures and 6P lenses.
It supports 4K recording, 3x lossless zoom, 12x hybrid zoom, autofocus, and full-color night vision with 10 infrared fill lights.
A dedicated photography mode allows users to capture everyday moments in addition to home surveillance.
The dual-motor gimbal supports 360-degree horizontal and 180-degree vertical movement, with motors said to be 30 percent faster than those on the Xiaomi C700 for quicker subject tracking.
AI Care and Smart Features
One of the biggest highlights is Xiaomi's first AI Care large language model, designed for monitoring children, elderly family members, and pets.
It can recognize activities such as study time, falls, prolonged inactivity, and pet behavior, while automatically generating daily monitoring reports and allowing text-based video searches.
The camera is powered by a 3T quad-core chip, delivering three times the computing performance of the Xiaomi C700 for faster AI processing.
Additional features include person recognition with improved accuracy, gesture-based two-way calling, dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, support for microSD cards up to 256GB, and an EAL5+ certified Mi Home security chip for encrypted data transmission and privacy protection.
