Xiaomi is getting ready to launch an updated version of its video calling camera, and this one comes with a display built directly into the unit.
The company has made big changes compared to last year’s model. The most obvious upgrade is the 3.97-inch colour screen on the front. It has a 480 x 800 pixel resolution display, and the buttons next to it are now bigger and easier to press.
You can make video calls in three different ways. You can wave your hand, push a button, or set the camera to connect automatically. The calls work between the camera and a phone, or between two cameras.

For sound, the device uses two microphones and a decent-sized speaker. There is also a noise reduction feature that helps cut down on background chatter, so the person on the other end can hear you more clearly.
The camera itself has an 8MP sensor that can shoot video in 4K quality, which is 3840 by 2160 pixels. It can also spin around a full 360 degrees and tilt up to 30 degrees, giving you flexibility to point it wherever you need.
Xiaomi says the new chip inside is 50 percent more powerful than the one in the previous version. That extra speed helps the camera run better AI software for detecting movement and recognising what is happening in the room.

The device also connects with other Xiaomi smart home gadgets through the company’s HyperConnect system. You can see the camera’s live view on its own screen during calls, and you can give other family members access to the camera as well.
The Xiaomi Smart Camera Video Call Version 2 will appear on Xiaomi’s Youpin crowdfunding page starting August 26. It will cost CNY429(~Php3,900).
