I love your review for the camera. It’s very detail and well explained and easy to understand. Thank you for doing a review in English ❤
Muchas gracias. Fue un review muy detallado, me ayudó bastante 🙌🏼
Great review!
Thank you, for your honest review and the Detailed explanation
Thank you so much!
Ty ur video ❤
Thanks
Full review,well done but I need to ask ddoes this camera supports NAS and can any brand be used?
Nope. SDcard and cloud only.
Hi, what class of memory card is recommended to use in C400 camera? UHS-I or UHS-II ?? and what should be internet speed for smooth uploading of video on cloud?
I've been using Speed Class 10, UHS-1 microSD card. Xiaomi has not indicated the required internet speed but my experience has been over 300Mbps - over 500Mbps.
great review!!! Many thanks!!
do you know how many hours of continuous recording will you get with the 256gb card you put in?
Many thanks!!!
about 241 hours from Aug. 9 to 1700hrs of Aug.19
@@HiTechTaBai is it partial recording or continuous?
@@Venomyuc 'always' or 'detected motion only'.
ganda ng boses mo sir parang broadcaster 😂... thanks for this video
You really don't know me. I'm a broadcaster for over 30 years.😁
Very good review!
Quick question, what version of the c400 is that?
I heard there is also a Chinese c400 version, wanted to ask if you know what's their difference.
This is a Global version. I am not aware of a Chinese version of C400. Although, most often as i explained in this video-- ruclips.net/video/JXulupXP44o/видео.html
Xiaomi first test its product in China before making it global.
Most often, there's not much difference between the two versions except the language and the Chinese version uses Xiao AI for voice assistant while the Global version uses Google and Alexa.
Thanks
Hi, I wanna ask. What is the difference between C400 and CW400 in terms of specs? Ive been searching for best outdoor 360 camera
The CW400 is an outdoor camera with almost same camera specs of indoor camera C400.
It already has a camera alarm since it's for outdoor.
The CW400 is a Chinese version. Most probably Xiaomi will come out with a global version soon.
so if I don't buy the cloud storage from Xiaomi, I cannot use the SD to store the playback recordings? even if I have the SD card it's still asking for subscription?
example: if don't have cloud subscription, and have a SD card in the camera, and there is motion detection. Will it not just record the motion video detection video on SD card directly?
The video recording is 24/7 on the SDcard (depending on your setting) with or without the cloud subscription. What you miss when you're not subscribing Xiaomi cloud is the surveillance detected short video clips that are also sent as notification. Anyway, all videos are recorded. I have other video explaining it-- ruclips.net/video/yf3N0EEc-Ms/видео.html
How fast is the light turning on after human detection when using the Chinese server? Is there a delay? If, so how long is the delay?
As shown in the video... just a matter of few seconds after it detects human. I'm connected to PH/SG server not with China.
Hi if you were buying a security camera for inside the house for the first time which one would you buy please ? Mi 2k pro or the Xaiomi C400.
Thanks for your videos
The C400 has improved human tracking. Hence, it only tracks human most of the time. The older Mi 2K Pro tracks also pet as if it's human. It depends on your requirements.
@@HiTechTaBai Thank you,
I currently have a Swann system but the wifi signal from the cameras is terrible and at best it’s intermittent.
Plus the picture quality is nowhere near as good.
Was considering 2 either 2k pro or 2 C400 inside and replacing my current external camera currently Swann to the CW400. I have been looking at purchasing off Ali Express as here in Australia they are more expensive. What do you think ?
Nice review!
So if i want check my pets movements i need c300?
Just in case i wanna buy c400 which adapter do i need?
I have not reviewed C300. I would recommend Mi 2K Pro for pet tracking. Check this video-- ruclips.net/video/CSy29bU8-3s/видео.html
@@HiTechTaBaithank you very much for the help
I have a 2k pro 360 and i'm facing an issue apparently happens on some other devices too. When I filter push notifications only for "human detection" using 3 min interval (the minimun), if movement is detected for the next 3 minutes (or whatever amount u set) they are in a way ignoring everything. So if a bug flyes in front of it, it shall mark a movement detected in the app, not push notification sent, and I come in a room after it will ignore person detected.
Does this happen with the new cameras or the outdoors ones too? Could you try it? It's pointless to have a camera that only sends push notification if u cannot filter them properly.
I'm using the global version, setting Argentina as country btw.
Detections and push notifications for Xiaomi and even other brands are not consistent. So, expect things to happen like that.
hi, in this version we do have nas conection?
Nope. Only SDcard and Cloud.
Is this model too affected by xiaomi cloud subscription system? I was going to buy c500 pro newer model is that affected too? And as I understand I cannot use features on sd card too right?
All new Xiaomi cameras have 3-month free subscription. After that you need to subscribe. However, you can still see all detections on the SDcard. Check here-- ruclips.net/video/yf3N0EEc-Ms/видео.htmlsi=WX1ysy8huJnoUj9X
@@HiTechTaBai Thank you. There's no logical reason to buy it then. We cannot even use a simple feature. I want to buy a good camera for home. I would prefer the C500 pro for its 5mp camera and 3k resolution. What do you think is the best camera of this type that I can buy? I'm looking at Anker eufy but its features are lower.
@@nicoasmr2103 If you watch my other video--the one i provided the link-- i explained there that the 'Detection Video Clips' on the cloud that is for subscription only provides for your reference where to locate the video. Meaning, you can still see the whole video on the SDcard recording. So, you can still use these videos even without cloud subscription. The app will still notify you about detection but you can't play the short detected videos clips if you don't subscribe.
I would like to see a review of how C400 performs indoors. Thanks.
Working on it. 😁
Here it is: ruclips.net/video/CSy29bU8-3s/видео.html
Hi sir.. may i know how to set autoloop in this device..to free sd card space
Set the Recording to 'Always Record' under Manage Storage. Check this video-- ruclips.net/video/DoTvk9dlOvE/видео.html
HI
does the playback need subscribtion or it depends on the sd card and after its full it will auto delete the last things captured oir what will happen thanks
If the recording is set to loop, the oldest files will be deleted to accommodate the newest recordings.
Playback doesn't need subscription since you can just play the videos from the SD card.
What is for subscription is the 9-second detection alert videos for this camera since it's no longer free for newer models.
@@HiTechTaBaiwhat are the models that has the free 9 seconds detection alert? Planning to buy a camera for indoor for my kids and pets
All models have the detection videos of about 9-seconds. These can be played on the app free for the first 3 months. After that, you need to subscribe to Xiaomi's cloud service.
Hi may i know the camera will back to the default angle after it tracking the human to another side angle?
Yes it is.
Hello Po, i am on china server and i need a camera to monitor outside of my house for security, which camera would you recommend? TIA
The latest from Xiaomi is the outdoor camera CW400 which is a Chinese version. It has new features. However, this can not be connected to PH or Singapore server.
@@HiTechTaBai I will use it on Chinese server, thank you for your answer
Hi, I bought this C400 camera from Hong Kong. I tried to use it in Brunei. But there is a problem during set up. I think it is due to the WiFi settings. Are there any WFi setting requirements for this? Thanks.
Nope. Check if what you bought is a global version. If it is, then you can pair with Mi Home app anywhere.
If it happened what you bought is a Chinese version, then you can only set it up on Mi Home app connected to the mainland Chinese server.
Thanks! How do I know if it is a global version? @@HiTechTaBai

C400 good
If you pay for mi secure, do you have to buy a subscription for multiple cameras?
Yes. Per camera.
Check here: ruclips.net/video/yf3N0EEc-Ms/видео.htmlsi=oym45MNwn-0ibZYu
Is it supported by Xiaomi Camera Viewer on Windows PCs? The C300 still isn't supported...
Yes as shown in the video.
i have c400 model and when i try to speak by the camera speaker it makes creaking full volume sound is there way to calibrate or is it broken ?
There's no volume adjustment for the camera speaker. However, the broken sound maybe caused by the one who spoke near to the camera. Although, its sound is not really good.
@@HiTechTaBai thank you for tips
Hi sir.. yung c400 minsan ayaw mg record...need po ba palagi naka connect sa wifi pra mag record yung camera?
Lahat ng Xiaomi cameras ay nagrerecord on SDcard kahit no wifi/internet connection.
Can the camera be accessed remotely via mobile data?
YES
hi. can i ask what app can be download using laptop to work this cam?
Mi Home app from Xiaomi
puede po humingi ng link para sa down load?@@HiTechTaBai dami po kasing lumilitaw na di ko maintindihan at baka mga nuisance links lang po...

Can we configure Google cloud storage with this camera?
Xiaomi cloud storage only
Can the c400 record even if not connected to wifi?
I haven't tried it yet but most, if not all, of Xiaomi's camera can record even if not connected to Wifi or internet. I tried it with other camera like the Mi 2K Pro. Check my experiment here-- ruclips.net/video/-x2g0ZLMaIQ/видео.htmlsi=q3QmTCQZ7KyhKxXc
Will you recommend this as baby monitor? Or may mas better pa interns or video quality? Thanks
It has no Baby Crying detection. Go for Mi 2K Pro-- ruclips.net/video/CSy29bU8-3s/видео.htmlsi=_1ESMDLERFNjCI21
Which do you prefer c400 or 2k pro? Thanks!
As i've said i need 2K Pro more than C400 because i'm also monitoring pets at home. Although, human detections on C400 has improved because it could no longer detect pets as human. It depends where you're going to use the cam.
Hey I just bumped on this channel thanks for your work what would you prefer between 2k pro and C400 for inside a shop. THANKS
@joannenaggayi8727 Mi 2K Pro has a good human tracking. It's good for indoor. Check this comparison between Mi 2k and C400-- ruclips.net/video/CSy29bU8-3s/видео.htmlsi=8v0_mB7RbPrET1Hi
Kapag puno na yung sd card automatic ma dedelete na yung old diba?
Yes, if the recording is set on loop.
Does C400 have NAS network storage?
It has no access to NAS. Only Cloud and MicroSD card storage.
thank you for the fast reply
how many fps has in 2.5k ?
Based on the recorded video by C400, it's only 20fps.
it dosen't have adapter unlike the C300
Kaya ba ng c400 na mabasa text sa computer screen na 2 meters away
Sa test ko, kaya mag-zoom in 2 meters but can't read the text because of the light of the display. Mag-over exposure ang kuha nya sa display, kahit sa phone. You can't adjust the EV of the camera. Pero kung maliwanag ang paligid, merong possibility mabasa nya ang text at 2-meter distance.
Salamat po. You, Saved me a lot of time looking for defintive answer for my specific need.
Is there a xiaomi c400 baby cry detector?
@ 38:54
Sir can i view the live video of the camera even if i'm here in canada?
Yes. As long as login to the same account used by your camera in Pinas.
@@HiTechTaBai walang error sir kapag multiple login like isa nasa pinas isa naman outside country po?
@markmacapulay6237 Sa mga Xiaomi cameras, and perhaps sa lahat ng brands, you can only pair the camera on one phone AT A TIME. Pero, you can share the camera to others who login to their own Xiaomi account. Allowed ang sharing. If you're abroad, and you are the owner, you can still view the camera using your account. Yong natira sa Pinas can still view the camera on their phones if you shared to them the device.
@@HiTechTaBai sir last question po sir yung owner po kasi outside country ios bali itong android phone gamitin sa installation at account register. anu po sa dalawa allowed sharing or same account used para maka live viewing po sya doon? thankyou po
@@markmacapulay6237 Since andito sa Pinas ang camera, dito na rin ang installation and pairing with the Mi Home app. Pagkatapos, yong owner na nasa labas, ay mag-download ng Mi Home app and create an account.
Then, from the phone in the Philippines, i-share mo yong camera to his Mi Home account.
As a sharer, limited yong access nya--hanggang sa tingin lang. Di siya makapag-change ng setting.
I just bought the camera and recognized it doesn’t have battery. Its sick that it’s all pictures in website is wireless.
The baby cry detection and pet detection are the software capabilities, aren't they?
If yes, we can consider the relevant updates, right? Also I am interested whether the quality of the sound is better on this or 2K pro.
Yes. The features can be added via firmware updates later.
How many minutes po kaya marecord sa 256SD card
As of today, Jan. 4 you can still view videos recorded up to Dec. 24.
@@HiTechTaBai thank you.. ok napo cguro 128gb?
@@andrewmackenlv4229 okay lang kasi naka-loop recording naman...unless you want to preserve several days.
@@HiTechTaBai thank you
Previous models does support NAS recording but this one does not for some reason. Waste of money
timelaps would be quite useful.. not to watch 40 min..
Is it battery powered?
The power supply is discussed in the video. 😁
@@HiTechTaBai ok thank you, another question, I am reading that Xiaomi cloud storage service is discontinued? is that so? Does it provide a function to save on Google drive?
@@primavera919 Yes, it only provides free surveillance detected videos for the first 3 months upon pairing the camera after purchasing it.
However, detected videos are still displayed under 'Surveillance' but you can't play the video.
There's a workaround to still access the video of the detected event. Check this video here-- ruclips.net/video/yf3N0EEc-Ms/видео.html
You can save videos on NAS or network storage in selected models of Xiaomi cameras. Check this video-- ruclips.net/video/4jHWqLUqAls/видео.html
