so weird, why Roborock cannot be detected on China server? I have Xiaomi Air Purifiers (both China and Local sets) and all can be detected on china server.

it can be detected. can be added but cannot be use
when u click on the roborock, there will be a pop up saying that your location setting is incorrect.

weird... that means the roborock is not designated for china market?

Don’t think so.

It’s more like app location and device location has to match else it won’t work.

This is the prompt I got when I set app to China and add to mihome app

If you guys using Xiaomi camera to monitor the door, wouldn't you need to set a power outlet near the door? Since it can only be powered by micro usb

I install 2 gang powerpoint there $55, 1 for xiaomi another for ring.

Jus a quick question can any of u guys able to connect ur xiaomi 360 to ur nas? My xiaomi 1080 can detect my nas but not my 360

My Yi cameras (6) all decided not to work last night. International version bought from lazada.

Any idea why? Is it must manually re-pair again or install new firmware?

Help.. bought the Mijia 1080p camera export set and when I selected China server on Mi Home app and log into my existing account, I can't find any devices to add in the 'Add Device' screen nothing works!

Hi all, I purchased a xiaofang from qoo10 13mobile and first time user.

I finally managed to set it up using mainland China in English language last night to connect to the camera. Managed to updated the firmware to the latest one too.

However when I try to access the camera at home or outside through 4G network, sometimes I can't even connect to the camera at all. Is it slow cause it's connecting to China server?

Will I be able to re setup the camera to Singapore and it will be faster? I have tried to setup to Singapore after the firmware update but always failed to connect to router. Really lost now

 

[bladez87]

is there anyway to make the xiaofang 1s serve as a streaming webcam?

 

[geckoSG]

It seems that all of xiaomi's IP cameras if bought from taobao will not work in SG?

 

[9N1Y9N1Y]

[Pryson]

Out of curiosity, I purchased 1 x DaFang, 1 x XiaoFang to play around with


Review for DAFANG IP CAMERA

PROS:

• Rectangular Shaped IP Camera with PAN/TILT Feature.
• Wide Angle viewing of 110. No WARPED or DISTORTED IMAGES
• Can Use USB Flash Drive & MicroSD Card
• Smooth response of camera
• Easy to use drag to view PLAYBACK
• Two way Audio which is clear
• Motion Detection
• Able to setup direct connection from mobile to phone if you are using it as a surveillance camera for a mobile kiosk environment
• Low power usage, can use powerbank for mobile surveillance usage
• Cheap and good Looking
• NO NEED for Installations by Installers. Looks good on its own on cupboard and tables
• Multi-screen viewing. More than 4 cameras in single screen it seems!

CONS:

• Chinese Language Instruction when you setup (Non-Chinese Friends might struggle with setup, but get your neighbors to help!)
• Initial usage, it downloads some plug-ins to your new devices (mobile)

SETUP TRICK:

I have an SG MI account using email, so I figured out that for the setup, you need to login first using your email with SG as location. This will then allow you to use email to login

After that, in the MiHOME, change location to CHINA, they will log you off, and you can now choose to login via email again in CHINA location.

Start the IP Camera setup process, and you will find your camera easily. Follow the instruction on screen and listen to the camera's instruction too. Its that simple.

My Verdict (DAFANG):

Extremely Cheap & Good PAN/TILT IP Camera, can get it at $32 b4 shipping at QOO10. The cameras looks good that I will place it on cupboard without need to get installers to install on the ceiling, its wide angle is good enough for all type of rooms, so you can forget about distorted fisheyed 180 lens

Color Presentation on camera is also very close to the true color of the objects. Night Vision is very clear and balanced distributed. If you noticed some 180 lens, their Night vision is not balanced, focus is central and the surrounding edges are dark

Now, what makes me happy is multi-camera viewing, I was able to view 2 cameras at the same time with each camera's audio playing seperately, pretty cool feature.

Viewing over mobile is smooth for me. Tried M1, starhub, MR, Circle, they even show you the streaming bit/rates

For XIAOFANG,

Unfortunately, the set I had is faulty, so returning it for a new one before trying more detail. XiaoFang viewing angle is same as DAFANG, less the PAN/TILT. And it cannot use USB Flash drive even if there is a port behind it.

XIAOFANG Price is around $25 b4 shipping. Can buy 4 of these and place around the house. Very cheap for wide angle viewing.

How you view multiple at once?

How you view multiple at once?

In your Mihome, you swipe the first screen top which display Air outdoors | Water quality nearby| to the left. You will see it display "My smart camera", click on it. 2 screen will display. Press on play on each camera.

If you click on 3 "...", you can switch views, In small view, you can see more, but I need to test that first when I buy a few more cameras, now busy so haven't make a purchase yet.

I discovered that if you want to multi-view;

1. Do not set any password code to each camera.

Hope this helps
