  I was wondering the same thing; In the Q&A section:
  
  Question:
  Hello! This camera is set European (international) firmware or Chinese? It will work fine with the app Yi Home? Or with app Mi Home only?
  Reply:
  Hello Man,
  It is international firmware.
  Yes，It will work fine with the app Yi Home。
  You can use app Mi Home for this item.
  
  also
  
  Question:
  Is this product an international version? or is it a Chinese version like the older cameras? I want to make sure that it speaks english and i don't have to use a chinese app version
  Reply::
  Hello Alex,
  Language: English. This English version.
  - adrianhughes1998 on 19/12/2016 - 09:50

For the record:

According to xiaomi's website, this is from a crowd funding project and is not a mi brand product. It is compatible to Mi Home app though.

  It doesn't have a smoke detector itself, it listens for your existing smoke detector's alarm sound and sends you a push notification.
  - [Deactivated] on 19/12/2016 - 11:26
    
    that sounds good enough, but I wonder how well it works.
    - cynix on 19/12/2016 - 11:53
      
      The official description says it "recognises the specific alert tone used by smoke/CO detectors". Since it's a product aimed at mainland Chinese users, and knowing Xiaomi's poor record of internationalisation (e.g. hard-coded China timezone for Xiaoyi IP camera), I'm guessing it can only recognise the alert tones of Chinese smoke detectors and probably not very useful for us (unless our smoke detectors happen to use the same tones).

      @LymeLychee: yeah but I don't know if they emit the same tone. Presumably our detectors need to conform to Australian standards, regardless of where it's made?

    Believe you'll have to flash a generic firmware to it and then modify it to stream to a NAS. But with the other versions of Yi cameras, yes this is possible.

    I assume you don't have any experience with security cameras.
    
    If the camera is covering a large area then you need the higher resolution to see the smaller detail. For example in a large room some one on the other side of the room. Remember lighting isn't going to ideal and a person's face may only show for a short time.
    
    I can see value in cameras with even higher resolution (which do exist). It can reduce the number of cameras required or increase the area covered.
    
    Without more details on this camera, I am going to give it a miss for the time being.

  I have another version of Xiaomi Mi camera. The way it works, you need to turn on the camera and wait for the sound prompt (in Chinese) to add your Wifi details into the Mi Home app. Once you add into the app, it will then convert the WiFi details + your app authentication info into a scannable QR code that the camera can scan it. Once the camera connected to the internet, the app will then search the server for the camera with the same authentication info and once found it, you will be connected to the camera.
  
  Btw, I found in Android, Mi Home is not working for these camera anymore. I have to download another app called Yi Home from their server (not from Google Play). It is better app and has more English part compared to the Mi Home app. But, it is inconvenient as you never know whether you downloaded a wrong version as I can't read Chinese.

      Depends on the thief. I've got alarm systems prominently displayed on the exterior, multiple cameras and one time this would-be burglar still attempted to break into my house in broad daylight… with me still in the house!
      
      Got his face on camera and everything and he ran off when he heard the dog barking. I was thinking, how stupid can you be to attempt this with cameras pointing in your face, alarm systems clearly displayed, etc… If that wasn't enough as a deterrent, I'm not sure what would be. Some people just lack common sense.

Does this come with free membership of Mirai botnet to enable participation in DDoS attacks? 80 internet connected CCTV models were recently revealed to have hard coded admin passwords. These cameras use Universal Plug-n-Play (uPNP) to punch holes through firewalls by silently adding port mappings.

  I bought the one you linked to replace my Xiaoyi 720p camera, but I find it useless as a security camera because its field of view is very narrow, therefore it can't do motion detection over a large area. It's actually worse than the Xiaoyi from this perspective.
  
  If you don't need motion detection/alerting and just want to view footage on-demand then it's probably okay. It rotates so it can cover a rather large area (just not at the same time).
- rexii2300 on 19/12/2016 - 11:59
