IP security camera Xiaomi Dual Smart Camera C300

The C300 Dual camera combines a 6 mm telephoto PTZ lens and a 2.8 mm fixed short-focus lens in a single device to provide simultaneous coverage of two directions. One unit delivers linked dual-screen viewing and playback, AI-supported detection on both cameras, and the ability to track people by linking the two feeds. The design reduces blind spots compared with a single-lens camera and avoids producing two separate, unsynchronised recordings as would happen with two independent cameras.

Advantages

Two integrated lenses allow close-up detail from the rotatable PTZ camera and a wide, stable view from the fixed camera. The cameras can be linked so the fixed camera’s motion detection prompts the PTZ camera to pan and zoom to the same area in real time. Dual-screen live view and combined playback are available on one display. Each camera can also be put into sleep mode independently for privacy. Both lenses support AI detection and push notifications for events.

• Security: built-in MJA1 security chipset with unique keys for data protection
• Mounting: supplied ceiling mount with adjustable configuration

How to use

Install the camera using the supplied ceiling mount and adjust the orientation to cover the desired areas. Set up the device in the Xiaomi Home app, connect it to your Wi‑Fi 6 network and configure linked monitoring so the fixed camera alerts will cause the PTZ camera to track movement automatically. Use tap-and-hold on the fixed camera feed in the app to make the PTZ camera swivel and zoom into a point of interest. Manage recording and privacy by enabling sleep mode independently for either camera when needed.

Recommendations

For optimal coverage, position the unit so the fixed lens faces the broader area (for overview) while the PTZ lens faces likely points of interest or entryways. Ensure a strong Wi‑Fi 6 signal and enable AI detection zones in the app to receive timely push notifications. Regularly update firmware and keep the MJA1 chipset protections active for secure data transmission.
