Xiaomi has introduced the Smart Camera C701 Pro, an advanced indoor surveillance device that builds upon the features of its predecessor, the Smart Camera C701. The new model retains 4K Ultra HD resolution and incorporates a dual sensor system with enhanced artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the tracking of people, pets, and children. This camera uses two lenses: an ultra-wide-angle 8-megapixel sensor and a 5-megapixel telephoto lens, allowing for a zoom capability of up to 9x. While the camera's detection range is advertised as up to 10 meters, the practical effectiveness of the zoom feature may depend on the size of the room being monitored. The Smart Camera C701 Pro is designed to capture clear 4K footage even in low-light environments, thanks to Xiaomi's color rendering technology. It is marketed primarily for home use, with AI features that can recognize humans, dogs, and cats, as well as detect a baby's crying to send real-time alerts. However, how useful these alerts will be in real-life situations remains to be tested. One of the notable upgrades in the C701 Pro is its dynamic automatic tracking. The camera can adjust its movement speed to match that of the subject it is following, which helps keep moving individuals or animals within the frame. This feature is especially beneficial for tracking pets, whose movements can be erratic. The smoothness of the tracking and the absence of jerky camera motions will be important factors in determining the camera's overall performance. The Smart Camera C701 Pro provides a wide field of view, with 360° horizontal and 180° vertical coverage, though the actual area captured will depend on the camera's placement and the physical obstructions around it. It includes a microphone and speaker for two-way communication, integrates with Xiaomi's smart home ecosystem, and supports voice commands through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Connectivity is handled via Wi-Fi 6 for reliable video streaming and quick alert delivery. Video can be stored locally on a microSD card (up to 256 GB), on a network-attached storage (NAS) device, or through a cloud subscription. The Xiaomi Smart Camera C701 Pro is now available for purchase at a price of 129.99 euros.
