This deal is only for the Global version with Baby monitor function model. See full product description on Banggood. There is also an International version that does not have the Baby monitor function. Note: There are also Chinese versions of these two models being sold for example on AliExpress and Joybuy which unfortunately no longer works in Australia and displays the error "Sorry this device is not supported in this area". To add to all the confusion, they all share the same model number CMSXJ16A. If you have bought the Chinese version and updated the firmware and it is no longer working, you will need to revert back to version 16.3.4.5 to remove the geo lock.
The good features of this camera model over other brands and even other XiaoMi models (of which there are now so many variants) are:
- Most XiaoMi products spoken instructions are in Chinese/Mandarin. This global version of the product actually speaks in proper English so the instructions are clear (not sure if the spoken language can be changed to Mandarin)
- Compression is H.265 over H.264 and other codecs like mjpeg. Uses less bandwidth and image quality is better
- Free 7 day cloud storage (no need for subscription fees at the moment) as well as local microSD card 64GB and NAS storage (requires a Xiaomi brand router with USB storage) if you prefer privacy. The plus with cloud and NAS storage is even if someone steals your camera together with the microSD card, at least you got a video record of the culprit.
- AI humanoid motion detection which ignores sudden background light changes or moving tree branches.
- Pan and tilt functions (360° horizontal x 100° vertical views) allows you to easily adjust the monitoring area remotely especially if is placed in a high location.
- Bi-direction audio chat function
- Uses the standard Mi Home app and all its automation features to link with the rest of your XiaoMi products.
If only the camera is weatherproofed for outdoor use. If you do want to use it outdoors, take care to place it under a well-sheltered location away from the rain. My own personal experience with other such devices is after two years, the on-board PCB will fail due to the harsh outdoor environment if it is not designed for outdoor use (main cause is moisture corrosion).
My last order from the recent 11-11 sale took about 7 days to arrive after shipment using AU Direct Mail. I didn't pay for the optional extra shipping insurance cost as the item can be tracked in case of any dispute regarding delivery.
That's a really long coupon code.
