I bought it through skroutz.
It's amazing. Cheap and user-friendly. I bought 4 cameras and also bought their memory cards. I installed them all by myself easily in the apartment of a person with dementia, one in each room. I placed them in certain spots, didn't screw them into the wall. The only thing needed is an application, which I downloaded on my phone, and I can simultaneously see all 4 rooms on my phone. It requires an extra adapter to connect each camera to the power, but luckily they have a long cable (comes with the camera) that reaches the outlet, so it's not like mobile phones that have a small cable.
It has clear night vision, and you can hear what's happening in the apartment, like if the person is talking to themselves or if the TV is on, you can hear it clearly from a distance on your phone. But it also has the ability to see what happened in the past from the memory card. It zooms in, goes right, left, up, down, and it's clear. And this way I can see if the person with dementia forgot to close their eye in the kitchen, because I zoom in there, or if the front door is left open, I can see it zoomed in from my own house. But the apartment where it will be installed needs to have wifi, and at the same time, you need to have wifi or data on your phone. So, I had to put a program on my mobile phone that automatically charges me 15 euros for 2.5GB and unlimited calls, just so I have data at any time. And I can say that the 2.5GB is more than enough for the month because I use it wisely. It just requires some initial setup, meaning all the work is done when you download the application and create an account, but it's easy stuff. The program I downloaded is called Mi Home. I don't know if it works with other programs.
If I can say that there is something a bit disappointing, it's that I can't view the cameras from my laptop. Meaning, I can't see them on the computer, only on my phone. My acquaintances told me that in order to be able to see the rooms on the laptop, it's a complicated process, and I don't know much about computers. It would be easier if I could constantly view the rooms from the computer. While on the phone, I can't have them on the screen all the time because my phone overheats, and after a while (when I watch the rooms for a long time), it shuts down due to the heat that developed. Of course, my phone is 5 years old, and I don't know if it would have a different behavior if it was a newer one.

If the power goes out or the Internet, you have to set it up from the beginning. It does not reconnect automatically, so if you are away from home, you simply do not have a camera.

  Very good camera, clear resolution!! The downside is that you have to pay to see what has happened. Otherwise, it saves from the previous day.

  Very good camera, wonderful resolution, wide field of view. I have it to watch my cats and I generally get notifications when they move, so they move! And when I enter the house or someone else enters the house, it sends a notification. Overall, I am satisfied, but I have a bit of an issue with my SD card; it often freezes and needs to be reinstalled, etc. But if you don't care about recording and archiving material and just want it for checking, it's perfectly fine!

  No difficulty in installation. No disconnection after a power outage or internet interruption that I read in the comments. I haven't inserted an SD card or connected to the cloud and it notifies me when it sees motion with a small snapshot... and then I delete it.

  Owner of the camera for about 8 months

  Positives
  -Very good image quality
  -Rotating (you can move it via the app)
  -Has a microphone (so you can listen to conversations)
  -Infrared mode when there is insufficient lighting
  -Easy installation

  Negatives
  -Cost, the camera may be cheap but after 3 months (if I remember correctly) it requires you to pay a monthly subscription to be able to record (you can write to your own SD card simultaneously to avoid the cost)
  -If the signal (internet) is lost, it does not show you a notification for an event (motion/person) when the connection returns.

  Overall, it is a very good solution that is initially cheap but over time, if you want to receive notifications or have highlights (e.g., that motion or a person was detected), you have to pay from 3-10€/month.

  very easy to install the application and set up the camera with the wifi.
  I don’t know what others are writing about Singapore, I set it up normally in Greece and the installation proceeded normally.
  I use it for monitoring the living room, amazing image and the use of 360 degrees, annoying that it doesn’t come with a 5v(2a) charger and only has a cable.

  It does its job very well (I didn't expect anything more, nor anything less) The only problem I have is that at a specific lighting level in the room, it switches to night mode and in seconds returns to normal again and again until I turn on some other lights.. or turn them all off..

  Unfortunately, after a trial period from activation, the free 6" cloud surveillance stops and requires a subscription. Other than that, it's good, but for this free surveillance, we were using Xiaomi all this time. So it doesn't make sense. If thieves steal the camera too, you have nothing

  I have bought 5 of these, they are placed in an outdoor area (even though they are for indoor use) under a shelter so they are not exposed to rain. They have been working flawlessly for about 1 year without stopping for a moment. They have very good image quality with immediate response to commands from the app.

  Very good. It offers a 3-month trial period for real-time motion notifications and then requires a subscription.

  The only negative I find is that the image transmission is delayed by a few seconds, even though it is next to the router.

  Veeeeery good camera, I didn't expect it. Very good night shot, clarity, sound is satisfactory if you consider that you are far away most of the time when you talk, but in a room without particular noise, you will hear normally what you said. Immediate response from the app in live mode, good range of the connection with WiFi (10 meters away from the router with rooms in between). The app, having other devices from the company, became immediately what won me over, and I didn't expect that I could add my wife to the account, and she can also access the camera without me having to log out like it happened with the old camera. Now, regarding the memory card that some say doesn't record unless you subscribe, that doesn't apply to me; it records normally. It simply has an option if you want it to record to the cloud to save there and pay, but it's not mandatory if you have an SD card. Personally, I took it to watch my baby, and I am extremely satisfied, and for its price, it's exceptionally good. The star was lost only because it doesn't come with a plug in the package, but only a cable, which is also micro USB to USB, and you can get power, of course, if you have a nearby device; I personally have connected it to the TV because it's next to it. And I would have preferred type C instead of micro, but okay, it's not a big deal. Get it without a second thought.

  You can no longer save videos to a memory card without a subscription; they could at least mention it.

  Xiaomi is strong in this particular camera. As with most of its phones, it is very good, and in this camera, it has succeeded in being very good and worth having in any space. Kudos to the engineers who designed it.

  In the picture, there is clarity both during the day and at night, the installation is easy, but the sound is not good. Conversations are not heard clearly, it lags quite a bit when watching playback, and it often takes a long time to load when accessing from the mobile. Also, when you set it to notify you of person detection, the notification comes very late and not exactly at the time the person is detected. Finally, there is no plug included in the package, and you have to buy one separately.

  Excellent value for money with the product.
  Barely any issues regarding connection, etc.
  I suggest giving them a static IP as it's on a router with many devices.

  I got it to monitor my dog who was disabled due to a stroke so I could go home as soon as he woke up, it helped me a lot. However, now that we have a baby and I want to use it again while I restart, for some reason it doesn't work..

  It would be okay if it didn't constantly disconnect, requiring a manual restart every time. If it's not exactly next to a router with a stable network, there's no point in purchasing it.

  This home camera was incredibly easy to set up and use, making the whole process hassle-free. The image quality is clear and sharp, even in low light. I also appreciate the motion detection feature, which sends instant alerts for added security.

  The camera is perfect for indoor spaces.
  The installation is very easy.
  The negatives are that it constantly sends motion notifications even when there are no movements, and in case of a power outage, it needs reinstallation a few times

  This is the 7th Xiaomi I have but the first of this model. I have had it for a month and it works without problems. Excellent image day and night. Very easy installation. You definitely need a memory card of at least V30 to avoid any issues with recording.
