Xiaomi launches Smart Camera 3 3K for 169 yuan with 5‑megapixel sensor and low‑light full‑color imaging
Xiaomi has released its new Smart Camera 3 3K, priced at 199 yuan (about USD 28), with a promotional launch price of 169 yuan (about USD 24). The camera features a 5‑megapixel sensor capable of recording at up to 2960 x 1666 resolution (3K), offering significantly more detail than traditional 1080p home‑security models.
The device includes eight infrared fill lights that enable enhanced night‑vision performance. It can capture clear images even in complete darkness and does so without emitting visible red‑light interference. Xiaomi has also equipped the camera with ultra‑micro full‑color technology and a high‑sensitivity image sensor, allowing it to maintain color imaging longer in low‑light environments.
A dual‑motor gimbal provides a 360‑degree horizontal viewing angle and a 109‑degree vertical viewing angle. The system supports humanoid‑movement tracking, automatically following moving subjects within the frame. Local AI‑based human detection eliminates the need for cloud processing, enabling faster and more accurate alerts. When a person is detected, the camera actively pushes notifications to the user.
Through the mobile app, users can define key monitoring zones. When activity occurs within these zones, the system sends an immediate alarm notification. The camera also supports two‑way real‑time voice calls, featuring an 8‑meter long‑distance pickup module, a large‑cavity speaker, and intelligent noise reduction.
Connectivity includes both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi‑Fi, allowing users to choose the best option for their environment. The Smart Camera 3 3K is fully integrated into the Mijia ecosystem and can link with Xiaoai speakers, smart door locks, lighting, and other devices to create automated home‑security scenarios.
Xiaomi, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Beijing, is one of China's largest consumer‑electronics and smart‑home manufacturers. The company produces smartphones, IoT devices, home appliances, and an extensive range of smart‑security products under the Mijia brand. Xiaomi's ecosystem strategy integrates hardware, software, and AI services, enabling seamless automation across its growing portfolio of connected devices.
