          @Stix: If you want something that will automatically save any motion detection to the cloud and notify you of such, may I suggest grabbing an unused smart phone and load Alfred camera app on it.

          I've used this for over a year now. I have multiple old phones hidden outside the house, permanently connected to power and they work flawlessly sending me and my partner alerts of when people come and go. You can watch live and listen in, talk into the phone speaker (scares the crap out of unsuspecting people), you can even turn on the LED light if the phone has one or the night vision function works beautifully in low light without LED. Or you can watch the recorded motion detection footage which it stores in the cloud (not on the phone) for 7 days telling you time and dates they were taken.

          Just a great app which makes use of your unused phones. Use it for lots of practical purposes including a baby monitor. I also used it to monitor my dog in my backyard while I was at work. I never knew it barked while I was away. I just spoke to it over the phone and that was all that was needed to settle her.

          Just an idea.

        • ilikeit on 08/07/2017 - 23:49

          @yolow: it's definitely not weather proof.

          @JackyQ:
          Thanks JackyQ. From what I'm reading here it seems the pro version has no inbuilt storage, but the XD version has 8TB:
          http://www.gearbest.com/wireless-routers/pp_605932.html, so I assume you'll still need to connect an external drive?
          If so, just wondering would this much cheaper version work with a connected drive?

          It should work, however since myself did not try it, so I can guarantee it. You can ask me if you have problem setting it up. Downlaod the mi home app, in the camera setting it will show the option for saving videos to router drive.

      Anything new know if this is one of the models that is likely to join a botnet?

      Well, a few things.

      Firstly, all the top tier ISPs are (present tense) actively blocking so the Mirai/Bash Lite bot net is diminishing.

      Next, even though the author of Mirai released the source code a few months back, the main question is that of the C&C servers. There were only a handful of servers and the author of Mirai, for unknown reason, has taken them down.

      However, for this particular OEM, the root username/password is hard-coded so using the same passwords that Mirai/Bash Lite is programed to infiltrate, this product can easily be exploitable.

      Everyone is focusing on post-WannaCrypt episodes and Mirai/Bash Lite is just a byword.

      • Danthemanz on 09/07/2017 - 09:28

        Hardcoded root? Yep, not a change its going on my network, even if i can control it on my enterprise firewall.

        • sanmigueelbeer on 09/07/2017 - 10:17

          HERE is a list of 61 passwords Mirai/Bash Lite "knows" about.

          Before buying any IoT stuff from the web, read the Users Guide or Configuration Guide. If any of the default username/password matches, don't buy it. (Alternatively, since a lot of these poorly coded IoT gear use Telnet, one can disable Telnet.) Remember, a lot of times, the root passwords are hard-coded and cannot be changed.

          A few weeks ago we had a site who reported to have purchased a PoE wired camera. Hey it's great, they said. We read the User's Guide and found out that password is limited to SIX (6) characters only. And yes, they use Telnet and HTTP only.

          @nocure:

          LOL.

          Google some of the exotic passwords and the results will crop up certain OEM products.

          Caveat emptor, I suppose.

      I wouldn't say the footage is 1080p. It looks pretty average to me. It's probably OK to monitor something while you're around (like a pet or kids), but I wouldn't rely on it to convict someone. Night vision is crap. It's perhaps a cheap deterrent. As commented on here many times, it gets set off by dust particles in the air and flickering light when using motion detection. Also, I couldn't set it up on an ipad, two Android tabs or a high spec smartphone. Had to rely on old beater phone. Better than nothing I guess.

        • ilikeit on 09/07/2017 - 08:31

          It is 1080p, but it appears far crappier. I've seen footage from many other 1080p cameras that are very clear (like they should be at that res). The footage from this cam is not very clear, severely lacking detail and moving objects are jittery like it is dropping frames.

        • cashews on 09/07/2017 - 08:55

          1080p is the resolution which doesn't necessarily describe the picture quality.

    • furys12 on 09/07/2017 - 12:47

      safe is relative term, if you use the xiaomi mi home app, as i'ts design for, then the cloud services it uses are all in china, thus footage of your house or whatever is going to china and thus can likely be accessed by the Chinese government because communism, now whether or not you think that's acceptable or not is up to you, from a more specific security point of view i wouldn't say china has a good track record in that department.

      its much safer to hack it and kill its internet access entirely (those are two separate acts)

      That is actually surprising. So who is the inventor and who is the copycat?

      the biggest concern is that most things like this don't have good security especially the ones from china which is fine for a toaster but for a camera is questionable but yes the secondary concern for these and other chinese ones is that the cloud services are all in china thus footage of your home or whatever will end up going through china, thats why the hack exists and why its recommended

    Thinking of setting this up in our front room looking out the window to serve as a front door camera for when someone rings the door bell or whatever and we just fire up the app to see who it is.
    Are these the cheapest-but-decent Wifi cameras? Any cheaper alternatives? I doubt I'll need the Mi image quality but I would assume their software is quicker and reliable though.

    (FYI, I don't even know if these would do what I want, e.g. wake on Wifi; I'm making a lot of assumptions lol)

        Maybe it only works for the first item ordered. I ordered 3, so averaged out at $26.95. Didn't check the sums before clicking pay..oops.

        Edit: yes, that's it. Max of 1 item discounted in an order.

          Try making multiple single order purchase and see if it works. :)

      I've just checked and it seems to still work - Unless I've over looked.

      Refer to the comment above.

    I have these. Don't expect them to be your main camera. They're garbage at nigt and so is the app.
