As Xiaomi’s first 6MP indoor camera, it pairs a professional-grade 6P high-transparency optical lens with an f\/1.6 large aperture and WDR to reproduce every detail in vivid, true-to-life clarity — so faces, movement and fine detail all come through crisply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBright, Full-Colour Footage Even in Low Light\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 1\/2.45-inch ultra-large BSI image sensor gives the C500 an expansive, highly light-sensitive surface, so it handles dim evening conditions with ease and keeps producing rich, full-colour images long after the sun goes down. When it’s truly dark, eight 940nm infrared fill lights deliver detailed night vision without any visible red glow — so a sleeping child or pet is never disturbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlagship AI Chip for Smarter Detection and Tracking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the camera is a flagship AI chip with 1T of computing power, handling fast, accurate recognition locally on the device. It detects and tracks both people and pets (cats and dogs), sending prompt notifications straight to your phone and automatically following the action before returning to its set gimbal position. A local algorithm keeps detection quick and accurate while minimising false alarms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt-In Privacy and Bank-Grade Security\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrivacy is protected from the source. The C500 supports physical masking — the lens physically tucks up into the body to block its view, and you can set timed or scheduled masking to suit your routine. Inside, a dedicated MJA1 security chipset gives every camera a unique key and certificate, with multi-layer cloud encryption safeguarding your footage with financial-grade protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFast, Flexible and Effortless Smart-Home Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDual-band 2.4GHz + 5GHz Wi-Fi 6 with OFDMA keeps connections fast and stable for smooth high-definition playback. The dual-motor pan-tilt design gives you 360° horizontal and 116° vertical coverage, controllable right from your smartphone. It works with Xiaomi HyperOS Connect for seamless smart-home routines — including auto-hiding the lens when you arrive home — supports two-way voice calls, and responds to Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for hands-free viewing. Footage can be saved in three ways: microSD card (8GB–256GB), cloud storage or NAS, with efficient H.265 encoding to save space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5K ultra-HD resolution (3200 × 1800), Xiaomi’s first 6MP indoor camera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6P high-transparency optical lens with f\/1.6 large aperture and WDR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2.45-inch ultra-large BSI image sensor for strong low-light, full-colour imaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight 940nm infrared fill lights for enhanced night vision with no visible red glow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlagship AI chip with 1T computing power for fast, accurate local recognition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuman and pet detection and tracking (cats and dogs) with smartphone alerts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuto return to gimbal position after tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e360° horizontal and 116° vertical pan-tilt coverage (dual-motor design)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-band 2.4GHz + 5GHz Wi-Fi 6 with OFDMA for faster, more stable connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMJA1 security chipset with a unique key and certificate per device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-layer cloud encryption for secure data transfers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhysical privacy masking with timed and scheduled options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXiaomi HyperOS Connect support, including “I’m Home” auto lens hiding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-way voice calls via Xiaomi Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoice control with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH.265 encoding for smoother playback and reduced storage use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree storage modes: microSD card, cloud storage and NAS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports inverted\/ceiling mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolution: 3200 × 1800 (6MP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage Sensor: 1\/2.45-inch BSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens: 6P, f\/1.6 aperture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eField of View: 360° horizontal, 116° vertical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNight Vision: 8 × 940nm infrared fill lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWireless Connectivity: Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 a\/b\/g\/n\/ac\/ax 2.4GHz\/5GHz, Bluetooth 5.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: microSD card (8GB–256GB supported), cloud storage and NAS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo Encoding: H.265\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: Android 8 \u0026amp; iOS 12.0 or above\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Port: USB Type-C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated Input: 5Vₛ2A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Temperature: -10°C to 40°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Dimensions: 7.9 × 7.9 × 11.9 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWHAT’S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXiaomi Smart Camera C500 x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Adapter x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharging Cable x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser Manual x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWall Mounting Kit x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Xiaomi?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXiaomi designs smart, beautifully simple technology that makes everyday life safer and more connected, and the Smart Camera C500 is a standout example — flagship imaging, intelligent monitoring and thoughtful privacy in one compact, easy-to-use device.
