Why AI human detection matters
A basic motion sensor triggers on anything that moves — pets, curtains, passing headlights. AI human detection specifically distinguishes a person from other movement, cutting down on the false alerts that eventually make people ignore all notifications from a security camera.

Frequently asked questions
How does 2.5K compare to the older Mi 2K camera?
Higher resolution at 2560x1440 from a 4MP sensor, against the Mi 2K's 3MP sensor at 2304x1296. The C400 is the newer, sharper option in Xiaomi's camera range.
Does it support 5GHz WiFi?
Yes, both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, which matters if your router runs a dual-band network, since 5GHz generally gives a more stable connection for video streaming at close range with less interference from neighbouring WiFi.
How good is the AI human detection?
It distinguishes people from general motion, which cuts down on false alerts from pets, shadows or moving curtains compared with basic motion-only detection.
Will it work during a brownout?
No, not without backup power. The camera and router both lose power in an outage, so recording and remote viewing stop until power returns, unless run from a power station.
Do I need a subscription?
No, it records locally to a microSD card. Cloud storage is optional and paid, mainly useful if you want footage safe even if the camera itself is taken.
