Affordable Xiaomi Smart Camera C701 with full color night vision launches globally

The Xiaomi Smart Camera 4 launched in China in mid-April 2025, and now, the company has brought the security camera outside the Chinese market. Its global version goes by Smart Camera C701, but the core specs are identical, and it's affordable as well, retailing in the EU for €59.99.

At the core, this new security camera comes with an 8 MP sensor that's capable of capturing 4K UHD videos. Xiaomi further notes that the camera offers a 360° horizontal field of view (FOV), while the vertical FOV is 109°. The sensor is paired with eight 940 nm infrared illuminators, allowing the smart camera to take bright captures in challenging lighting conditions.

Xiaomi also claims that the Smart Camera C701 can take full-color night vision captures and has a range of up to 10 meters. The company further highlights that the security camera comes with multiple AI-enhanced features. Among the notable ones are human and pet detection, and the smart cam is also said to be capable of alerting users when there are unusual loud noises.

Besides that, the Xiaomi Smart Camera C701 has support for two-way voice calls, and the noise-cancelling microphone promises to offer clear voice captures. For enhanced privacy, the security camera has on-demand lens shielding, and there's a microSD card slot that can hold up to a 256 GB memory card (256 GB Samsung EVO Select curr. $22.99 on Amazon).

Among the other highlights are dual-band WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, support for cloud storage and NAS, and a built-in speaker. You can learn more about the Xiaomi Smart Camera C701 from the picture below.
