Our favorite brand Xiaomi brings again one of the practical gadgets for the home. This time it's new Xiaomi Mijia Smart Doorbell 2, intelligent doorbell with integrated camera.
Due to the negative reactions of customers who bought this bell, we decided to withdraw the offer for the bell. The bell does not work ideally and is intended primarily for use in China.
Not just the doorbell, but also the household guard
In addition to the classic bell function, Xiaomi has it Mijia Smart Doorbell 2 has many other smart features. They take care of the convenient handling of possible visits, but also safety.
First of all, it is a camera that is integrated directly in the module located in front of the door.
It scans the space in resolution 1920 x 1080 pixels and has a wide viewing angle in the range up to 139°. Dual filter IR-CUT automatically switches the camera to night mode in case of reduced light intensity in the monitored area.
In addition, the bell from Xiaomi has a built-in speaker and microphone, which are used for two-way communication.
Ringtones and space capture are good features, but without a smartphone connection they wouldn't do much.
The device is fully compatible with the application We Home and the network is connected WiFi.
The user can then use many other smart features through the app. In addition to the smartphone, the doorbell can also be paired with a smart speaker Xiao AI or even with a smart TV.
Useful smart features
Among the first ones we can mention the possibility to look in the space in front of the door in real time. The user can see what is happening in front of the door through the smartphone at any time, even when nobody is ringing.
Here we follow up on another excellent feature, which is a warning of movement in front of the camera. Doorbell 2 sends a notification in the form of a photo or short video to your smartphone if it detects any movement.
The user can set the motion detection distance up to 5 m and the artificial intelligence will take care of the recognition of persons to avoid false alarms.
The user can speak remotely to the person outside the door through the loudspeaker and the voice change function is also available. It is especially suitable for children and women whose thin voice can turn the bell into a powerful male voice. This can deter a potential attacker or thief from his malicious intentions.
Continuous monitoring with storage capability
We will stay with the space. The new smart bell from Xiaomi can monitor space as well 24 hours continuously, and the records can be saved to microSD card or on cloud storage.
Remote storage is offered by the manufacturer for free, but only for 72 hours of monitoring. You will have to pay extra for more space required.
Thanks to elements of artificial intelligence, the device is able to recognize and identify people. The bell will directly announce through the application which of the recognized persons is in front of the door.
Xiaomi bell door outdoor unit Mijia Smart Doorbell 2 powered 6 standard AA batteriesthat are capable of withstanding over 4 months. Of course, the period of use depends on the intensity and conditions of use.
The unit has a slim design and is installed using a double-sided adhesive surface with intense glue. If a violent removal is attempted, it will notify the user with an immediate notification.
I ordered this bell just after reading this article.
The bell came all right. I managed to pair it in the MI home app and via the Chinese server, I can't change the ringtone, the live camera will only turn on for about 3 seconds and I have no possibility of additional settings.
This is exactly how it works for me… Especially since I'm graduating here and at the same time it's a complete smirk
That certainly applies to me as well. Although the first time after ringing, it recorded 3 seconds of recording and after about five minutes it froze in the application, but after the smartphone "leaves" the wifi, no recording is sent. At most, a notification that someone rang (even with a significant delay).
I'm disappointed, I can't find the bell in the Xiaomi Home application. So it's just an expensive replacement for an ordinary bell. I do not understand the promotion here, without verifying the functionality of the device. I hope that it will start somehow and it will start working in Slovakia as well.
Hello, you need to set the Mainland China region in the app or download the modified Mi Home by Vevs application.
I have a Chinese region set up, but it still doesn't work. It only works like a wireless doorbell. Catastrophe.
Try the modified Mi Home by Vevs application, Chinese products also work there when setting up the SK region.
You still mention some modified xiaomi Home by Vevs application here, but I have already tried several versions of this application and the bell still works only as an ordinary bell without a camera. If you'd rather test the bell yourself and advise people, instead of constantly referring them to try some customized application that doesn't work at all. I am extremely dissatisfied.
I have the same experience with a similar one Mijia Luke CatY Video Doorbell. Despite the reliable internet. the connection only works partially and with a long delay. Wasted money. Function declarations are only a pious wish of the manufacturer.
Unfortunately, I didn't notice the comments before I ordered the product, it's a Chinese scumbag that doesn't even work as a bell, not even as a smart camera… The article is misleading and the only thing that is true in the article is that it's a flashlight bell that's about it to buy the value of this product is somewhere around 5eur
