Xiaomi Smart Camera C701 uses an 8MP sensor with a 6-element optical lens to deliver true 4K Ultra HD video, with HDR calibration preserving detail in both bright and dark areas of the frame.

At night, a sensitive sensor combined with 940nm infrared light provides full-color and infrared night vision up to 10 meters without a visible red glow, so footage stays natural without disturbing sleep. On-device AI, processed locally rather than in the cloud, identifies pets, babies, and humans to send tailored alerts, while a 360° horizontal and 109° vertical field of view leaves no blind spots in the room. A physical lens cover gives genuine privacy when the camera isn't in use, and the built-in MJA1 security chipset encrypts all data transmission with AES 128-bit protection for cloud storage.

Local on-device AI is the detail worth noting for privacy-conscious buyers, since alerts are processed on the camera itself rather than sent to the cloud for analysis. Combined with the physical lens cover, it's a genuinely more private option than most connected cameras, without giving up smart detection features.
