Xiaomi Smart Camera C500 EU | IP camera | indoor, PTZ pan-tilt, Wi‑Fi 6, 1800p, XIAOMI

Home monitoring in 3.5K resolution

Xiaomi Smart Camera C500 is an indoor monitoring camera that combines 3.5K UHD, a 6 MP lens and a large 1/2.45-inch sensor. It records clearly during the day and after dark, so it is ideal for monitoring a flat, a child’s room or an electronics area.

Key benefits

• 3200 x 1800 resolution – more detail in recordings and easier identification of people and events.
• Full-colour mode in low light – clearer image in the evening without losing important details.
• People and pet detection – faster alerts for movement that really matters.
• Dual-band Wi‑Fi 6 – more stable live view and smoother image transfer.
• MJA1 security chip – better protection of data and cloud transmission.
• Physical privacy cover – the camera hides the lens when you want privacy at home.

Clear image after dark

Recording quality is ensured by the 6P f/1.6 lens and the sensor’s high sensitivity, which preserve detail even in lower light. Eight 940 nm infrared LEDs enhance night viewing without a visible red glow, so the camera does not disturb household members while they sleep.

Fast response to movement

The camera supports local people detection, body tracking and pet detection and tracking. When something appears in the frame, the device triggers an alarm and saves the event, while the algorithm reduces the number of false notifications. It is a practical solution for a flat where a quick response to real movement matters.

Wider frame without blind spots

The dual-motor mechanism rotates the lens through 360° horizontally and 116° vertically. From one position you can cover a larger part of the room, and phone control makes it easy to quickly point the camera at the door, window or a child’s play area.

Talk through the camera

The C500 model supports two-way voice calls, so you can speak to household members without reaching for your phone. A separate sound chamber and large speaker increase volume and speech clarity, which is useful for staying in touch with family or calming a pet.

Privacy under your control

The camera uses the MJA1 chip, cloud encryption and physical lens masking. You can set a cover schedule or an “I’m home” mode that hides the lens and stops recording. This means monitoring works only when you really need it.

Connectivity and recording storage

Dual-band Wi‑Fi 6 reduces latency and stabilises live viewing, while H.265 recording saves storage space. The camera supports a 8–256 GB microSD card, cloud storage and network storage, so you can easily choose the archiving method that suits your needs.

Works with a smart home

Support for Xiaomi HyperOS Connect makes it easy to connect the camera with other devices in the home. You can run automation scenes, such as turning on the light when a person is detected, and check the image by voice through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. It is a convenient solution for everyday monitoring without unnecessary steps.
