      xiaomify Great video, I got the Chuangmi now for about a month, and for the price it is great. The audio is not really good, but if you don't use it as a baby monitor you almost never need sound. The nightvision is very good, sometimes even sharper than daylight image. I think you underrated it a bit, considering I got it shipped for €13 (you get get it now for about €14). Also, the Xiaofang does not work outside of Asia, so that is not an option for US and Europe.
      Ps: The app is full of bugs, for example many times I can't connect on WiFi, but 4g works., don't know if it is because I'm in Europe, or because of the camera.

    Man, I don't know how to say but.. This format and this channel are amazing. Xiaomi is one of the few chinese brands that make really good quality products at a correct price tag.
    I'm starting a cooperation with bangood, and I'm asking them for all the strangest Xiaomi products, like the umbrella and the shoes. I'm sure will find more of them in the future.
    In the meantime, I'll follow as much as I can your channel, hope to watch other beautiful videos like this!

    Also considering the gate way camera. Does that mean I do not need to buy a extra gate way?

    • @xiaomify
      @xiaomify  7 років тому +2

      Thanks for your comment! :)
      The Aqara has a 'built-in' gateway, so no need for another gateway as it actually IS a gateway.
      -So you can pair all the Aqara and Mi Zigbee-products to the camera.
      Hope that helps! :)

    I bought my first Chuangmi Camera thanks to this review.
    It came with a little challenge - I had to be connected to 2,4 Ghz WLAN on my phone to make it work. The "Mainland China"-setting is not required anymore. I installed it on "Europe" as I already had my Roborock (vacuum) set on the same region.
    Just ordered two more of the Chuangmi's. 40€ here in Finland feels like nothing considering what function you get.

    Hello, Thumbs up for the video! It's been 2 years ago now. Is it nog time for an update on the latest camera's from Xiaomi/Mijia. A lot has changed since then and I think people who buy them on chinese distributor websites would love to see an updated video on what they might buying (including me 🤗). Hope to hear back from you as I learned a lot about Xiaomi and have bought a lot of tech from it since then. 👍

    • @xiaomify

      YES! It has been in the making for a while but Xiaomi has been dropping new cameras like clockwork so I constantly have to change that script ..

  • @acidmew

    Very well done, mate! Glad i found you months ago and it´s amazing to see the community growing, all the early adopters are really pushing Xiaomi with the english translations and custom firmwares as well to provide the best hardware and design for amazing prices. Good to see that the dafang camera scores so well compared to the others, it´s the only one i´ve got and now i won´t be even tempted to try the others, although could probably use the functionality of the Aqara one. It´s not a bluetooth gateway though, only wi-fi as i understand?

    • @xiaomify
      @xiaomify  7 років тому +1

      Thanks, Taavi!
      Yes, the Aqara only functions as a WiFi-Zigbee gateway (exactly like the regular Xiaomi and Aqara gateways)
      The Dafang is really a good choice so I can imagine you're glad you've got that!
      I gave my parents one when it just came out of the crowdfunding, and I'm glad I picked that one as well :)

I do not actually use them except in my garage. I use Windows camera software when using my iOS devices over the internet with Chrome Remote Desktop software. I am able to view all cameras on the same time. I am trying to find a Windows program for the Xiaomi cameras.

After you connect both of them in the mijia app. The signal is the same, meaning i have to exit the app and get back in to see the camera. For now getting that mini live view of multiple camera its not possible.

      As far as I know, the cameras or the APP won't send you a notification when its network gets lost. I have not seen this feature in the APP which could actually be quite interesting. (But seen from the technical aspect, my guess is that the APP constantly has to check if the camera is still online, which might be quite power-consuming...)

    I have two questions for you though.
    1st is I have a Xiaomi small ant camera, it was working properly for around 10 months until I hit the "Upgrade camera" and the new firmware blocked it. It is now not working even though I have tried to flash it with new firmwares plenty of times.
    2nd I have bought quantity 4 Yi cameras that use the YI app instead of the Mi app.The cameras look very similar, but as I said they only work on the Yi app that is very different then the Mi app..... Can you review all the YI cameras and the Yi app please one day??

      Nobody answered you. I have the Chuangmi and I can watch a live feed on my phone from anywhere. With an SD-card you can "go back in time".

    Hey.thanks for great video you made.i just want to ask. I just bought the Mijia 360• 1080p camera and did some days and nights recording and watched it back the footage recorded at night time and realized there was a tiny white dot flying around with all different speed and i realized in your video also has that white dot flying around at 1.44 & 5.51.what is that? or
    There is something wrong with the camera ?

    Q : Where do these cameras record / save the images too ? Will they work in UK. Again, Power supply, do they have to be in proximity to a socket ? Can they be hardwired ?
