With the Outdoor Camera 4C, Xiaomi is presenting a new model in its security camera series, which stands out above all with its modern night vision technology and motorized gimbal design. This is reported by XiaomiTime. The camera is aimed at users who want to secure their home or property with a compact, smart device – even in poor lighting conditions.
- Color night vision: Colorful night shots thanks to integrated LED lighting.
- Gimbal function: Motorized pan and tilt technology for 360-degree surveillance.
- Wi-Fi & app control: Integration into the home network via the Xiaomi Home app.
- Weatherproof: IP66 protection class for year-round outdoor use.
More visibility at night thanks to intelligent LED technology
One of the key highlights of the Xiaomi Outdoor Camera 4C is its ability to deliver colorful images even in the dark. This is made possible by an integrated LED light that is automatically activated in poor lighting conditions. In contrast to many conventional infrared cameras, the 4C does not produce low-contrast black and white images, but instead provides a much more realistic image – a clear advantage when identifying people or vehicles in the dark.
The camera relies on a setup with 1080p resolution and a field of view of 85 degrees. In combination with the pan and tilt function of the integrated gimbal, this results in a far-reaching surveillance radius. According to the manufacturer, the camera can be moved 360 degrees horizontally and 106 degrees vertically – automatically or manually controlled via the app.
Smart control, high connectivity and weather resistance
The camera is integrated and operated as usual via the Xiaomi Home app, which is now widely available not only on Xiaomi smartphones, but also on Android and iOS devices. It can be used to call up live views, configure motion alarms and manage recordings. The camera communicates via Wi-Fi, which allows flexible positioning on the building – provided there is a power supply.
Another practical feature is the two-way communication: the camera has a microphone and loudspeaker so that conversations can also be held with visitors or delivery services. Thanks to IP66 certification, the housing is dustproof and waterproof, making it ideal for continuous outdoor use – even in rain, snow or wind.
Data storage is possible via a microSD card, and cloud support is also offered via Xiaomi’s own services. A small disadvantage: Cloud storage is associated with additional monthly costs, but also offers more security in the event of theft of the camera itself.
Conclusion
With the Outdoor Camera 4C, Xiaomi delivers a technically convincing security camera that scores particularly well with its color night vision and motorized gimbal technology. The combination of smart app connection, robust construction and high image quality makes it an interesting option for modern home surveillance. The market launch in China is the equivalent of around 25 euros – a competitive price that is likely to increase slightly when imported to Europe. An EU release has not yet been confirmed.
