Xiaomi Smart Camera 4 Max AI Zoom Edition: Xiaomi has officially started selling the Smart Camera 4 Max AI Zoom Edition in China after introducing it through a crowdfunding campaign earlier this year. The premium indoor security camera combines a dual-camera setup, AI-powered caregiving features, 4K recording and up to 12x hybrid zoom, making it one of the company’s most advanced smart home devices to date.
Priced at 799 yuan (approximately $120), the new smart camera is designed for home security as well as child, elderly and pet monitoring, with AI capabilities that go beyond traditional motion detection.
Dual Cameras With 12x Hybrid Zoom
The Smart Camera 4 Max AI Zoom Edition comes with a sort of dual-camera arrangement, consisting of:
- A 12MP telephoto camera with autofocus
- An 8MP ultra-wide camera with a 127-degree field of view
With this kind of setup, you get 3x lossless zoom and up to 12x hybrid zoom, so distant subjects are reachable while keeping the image looking crisp. Both cameras support 4K recording and full-colour night vision.
