I saw that you can buy this camera without getaway. Does it mean that you can connect more than one camera to one getaway. Like Xiaomi outdoor wireless camera 1080p.
Thank you for the depth review. I own EC2 cameras, so I'll like to know if the EC4 is back compatible with the older EC2 cameras. If possible, that's great news to expand coverage
does the camera produce sound everytime there is no wifi connection? i usually schedule my router to restart everyday. also can i lower the volume or disable any sound coming out of the camera?
Have you tested how long battery hold on battery itself? I know you have mentioned up to 100 days, but I would like to hear "real life" normal situation (not theoretical max days).
Bro I just bought it. But I got a problem with charging the camera. The camera can’t be charged. Do you have any idea? Or do you have any recommendations? Cheers
DON'T BUY EC4 CAMERA! IT DISCONNECT EVERY 1 TO 2 WEEKS AND YOU NEED TO RESET DEVICE ALL TIME AND RECONECT CAMERA, IMILAB KNOW THE PROBLEM AND DON'T WANT TO SORT. BATTERY LIFE IS 1 TO 2 WEEKS ,SOLAR PANEL IS VERY WEAK, DON'T WASTE MONEY. YOU CAN'T SEE RECORDS FROM MICRO SD, YOU MUST CONNECT IT TO LAPTOP. IF YOU WANT TO SEE ONLINE WHAT CAMERA RECORD YOU NEED TO PAY SUBSCRIPTION. IMILAB EC2 WAS MUCH BETTER, THE NEW ONE IS SCAM
Good afternoon my name is João I live in Portugal and I really liked the background of your cell phone. Can you tell me where I can get an identical one? Thanks João
Hi, may I know there's an option for continuous recording as well? I know that the EC2 only enable 24 hours monitoring, but only record triggered events. this EC4 can manually set to enable 24 hours recording (not 24 hours monitoring)?
@@jayceooi I see. The camera can't record to memory card if there's no electricity right? Since the memory card is inserted in the gateway, which requires power from wall plug.
Absolutely useless camera, gateway not backward compatible with EC2, can not be added to Xiaomi app, does not send alerts, although nicely designed and pleasing to the eye.

Hi, I am using EC2 camera now. Can add ec4 camera to connect with current EC2 gateway? Thanks.
No
hello the smart center connects with the USB port? Or if you need the charger to power?
Yes. Yes.
I saw that you can buy this camera without getaway. Does it mean that you can connect more than one camera to one getaway. Like Xiaomi outdoor wireless camera 1080p.
Yes, up to 4 units.
Nice video. Can I let the power cable in it all the time instead of charging it or putting a solar panel? Is it going to bring me any problem?
Thanks. Sure. No.
for the battery how long can last if no sunlight support
Weeks to months depending on the alerts.
Have you tried to use the usb port connect thumb drive or hdd to expend video recording?
Nope
@@jayceooi thanks, do you know the usb port can it support?
@@adamngai no idea, sorry...
Hi Jayce..just want to check. whether the continuous recording feature is a software feature and available to ec2 model also..
EC2 can't support it due to hardware limitation. Else IMILAB already implement it.
@@jayceooi Thank you Jayce.. !!!
@@AnkitGupta1990 Welcome 😃
Hello Jayce, Is it worth to switch from EC2 to EC4? Is the battery in the EC4 better?
Upgrade, no. About the same...
@@jayceooi Tnx, Is it possible to create privacy zones?
@@eduardomonunes No idea, please check with IMILAB Support.
Thank you for the depth review. I own EC2 cameras, so I'll like to know if the EC4 is back compatible with the older EC2 cameras. If possible, that's great news to expand coverage
No. You need new hub for EC4.
2 hubs, crappy app, bin this junk and get Xiaomi cams.
When receive notification about some movement near by is alarm siren can be trigled as scare potential intruder?
Both siren and light can be set.
Is it wireless? How much for set of 3 cameras?
@@ireneuszkarpierz537 No idea. Please wait until it is launched.
Hello Jayce, how is your experience so far? Just bough mine and the motion detection is very poor, only detect when I am really close to it
Hi Fernando, as per review.
does the camera produce sound everytime there is no wifi connection? i usually schedule my router to restart everyday. also can i lower the volume or disable any sound coming out of the camera?
No, I don't think so. Yes, I believe so.
Can it be share to other user like Mi Home apps can do?
Yes
Hi thanks for the interesting information about EC4 , just want to ask how many EC4 camera can be added on the hub.hoping for your response.thanks.
Welcome! 4.
Hi, can the spotlight turn on whenever there is motion detected? Without the alarm .
Yes
@@jayceooi thank you
@@user-ox4hv9so7m Welcome!
Can download the recorded video to mobile phone or not? Bought this model to my shop about 1 month ago.
You should know since you already own it.
Hi, I like to know how u charge the camera after u mounted outdoor. How is the user experience of charging it. thank you
I use solar panel. If you don't have, remove it then charge it. Install back after charged.
Have you tested how long battery hold on battery itself? I know you have mentioned up to 100 days, but I would like to hear "real life" normal situation (not theoretical max days).
This depend on how many alerts you got. More = shorter. Less = longer.
I can make it last for 1 week. More than 3 months also can...
Good morning, one more question, what is the maximum capacity of the micro sd card that you can record?
Tested 512GB
With a 128Gb A2 card does it work well?
Thanks for the information
@@Shuttle1966 Should work. Welcome!
Can I connect the smart hub to the internet by WIFI?
Or using RJ-45 cable only?
LAN cable only during my testing. Not sure about now...
@@jayceooi cheers bro 👍
Bro I just bought it. But I got a problem with charging the camera. The camera can’t be charged. Do you have any idea?
Or do you have any recommendations?
Cheers
@@siwinchaisooksang7458 Please check with your seller in this case.
Can't connect to the home WiFi hub? and on wifi the network chuangmi-hub-8CCB18 appears and asks for a password?
Please check with IMILAB Support.
Can you use the hub from the EC2?
No
Can the siren on camera and hub be switched off?
Sure
very nice review. Thank You!
Thank you too!

Nope. Will let you know when I got the answer.
Is it solar panel comes with set or need to pay seperatly?
Free for early buyers.
Could you please make review at rainy weather as I leaving in UK where rains 360 days a year 😅
@@ireneuszkarpierz537 This not enough? Hehe... ruclips.net/video/yUIwupRNUis/видео.html
@@jayceooi will you receive notification if some one will try to remove camera of the bracket as Bosma camera has it?
@@ireneuszkarpierz537 Nope.
Thanks bro.
What is Your mi home region?
Welcome.
China.
Do you know how to turn off the spotlight?
Please check in the settings.
I can't find any option. Only can set 3 mode but no way to off it. Thx
@@bbjai78 Please check with IMILAB Support in this case. Mine is no longer with me. Can't check it from here. Sorry...
No problem. Thanks😀
@@bbjai78 welcome 😉
Hi, may I know there's an option for continuous recording as well? I know that the EC2 only enable 24 hours monitoring, but only record triggered events. this EC4 can manually set to enable 24 hours recording (not 24 hours monitoring)?
Yes, it has when motion is detected. No battery powered IP cam has 24 hours non-stop recording. You need cable powered one for that.
Do you means that if it is not connected to electric power, it only record once human detection is triggered?
So it cannot record to memory card continuously? Can we view live video continuously via phone?
Can when motion was detected. Yes.
@@jayceooi How long the battery lasts if it keeps on recording?
@@KH-fv3vq Few days I think...
@@jayceooi I see. The camera can't record to memory card if there's no electricity right? Since the memory card is inserted in the gateway, which requires power from wall plug.
It can't record at all if the gateway hub is not powered on.
Do you need to buy subscription for this?
Nope so far
Can I connect to Mi Home app?
Nope. It is using their own app.
I successfully connected it through the LAN cable, but somehow I can't connect it wirelessly. Any idea anyone?
Please check with IMILAB Support. I have one customer facing the same issue too.
Can this camera record 24/7?
No
I can't connect the app to the smart hub.
Please check with IMILAB Support.
the only problem is this camera cannot fully tilt to left right. the rest is ok
Absolutely useless camera, gateway not backward compatible with EC2, can not be added to Xiaomi app, does not send alerts, although nicely designed and pleasing to the eye.
Please don't throw away and give to others if it is useless for you. 😅
@@jayceooi done.
Rubbish. there is no 24h recording option. Wasting money
Yeah... All battery powered IP cams don't have 24 hours recording. All rubbish!!!
Yes, totally agree "Rubbish", even wanna check all recording in event function, always can't read. Suggest you go for eufy
