Xiaomi has released a new indoor security camera in the Philippines, the Xiaomi C701 Pro . The device is aimed at families who want to keep an eye on young children, aging parents, or pets while they are away from home. The camera uses two lenses to deliver clear video. One lens captures wide shots, while the other handles close-ups. Users can zoom in up to 9 times to see fine details. The camera can also lock onto a moving person or pet and follow them around the room. Nighttime viewing is another strong point. The C701 Pro can show colour images in low light, which many security cameras struggle with. Its night vision mode uses infrared lights that do not glow red, so it won’t bother anyone trying to sleep. Privacy is a growing concern with home cameras, and Xiaomi has added some thoughtful touches. The C701 Pro comes with a physical cover that slides over the lens. You can close it manually or through the mobile app when you do not want the camera recording. ...
