DAFANG

Looks like a good price on the new XIaomi Mijia Dafang cameras released last month I believe.

Home security IP camera with 1080p video resolution, with 120 degree field of view, equipped with pan and tilt movement functions. It also has night vision, Infrared-based motion detection, two-way audio and Micro SD recording.

From past deals it appears these are similar to Xiaofang cameras but also add pan and tilt features. Connects with Mi Home app.

Pay in AUD (~$25) on GearBest as their rate is lower than the current USD > AUD rate. Must be logged in to apply code, pay by PayPal.

Ensure that you use Australia Priority Mail shipping method to get the best/quickest shipping method available at this price, thanks to Bamzero. See photo here.

24/10 5pm: Back again for US $0.10 less (thanks doweyy)
16/11: Back again for $0.99 less

    Do you need to pay a monthly subscription to use this like some of the other ones? can anyone confirm?

    • iversonjack on 10/10/2017 - 16:54

      xiaofang doesn't need subscription, i'd assume it'd be the same for this one.

          Would you prefer the Chinese, Russians or Five Eyes to have access?

          Least preferred is your global hacker using it in a botnet.

          You can avoid some of this by using alternate firmware.

          At least these guys have a spine and aren't scared to tell people that they're watching.

  • RichDad PoorSon on 10/10/2017 - 17:04
    +1

    whats the difference between this and xiaofang? besides the form factor, is it just tilt and pan - does this mean it has a motor…?

    • scrimshaw on 10/10/2017 - 17:05
      +2

      Yes motorized. It's designed to mount on a flat surface and can pan or tilt.

    • b-radicool on 10/10/2017 - 17:06

      The description says "Infrared-based motion detection", which I think is different too.

      The Xiaofang only has visual motion detection (which is woeful).

      That said, I can't see a PIR detector on the pic.

      • scrimshaw on 10/10/2017 - 17:09

        the description on chinese websites say "IR-cut Motion Detection"

        I assume that the camera uses it's built in infrared emitter and the camera sensor itself to detect changes directly in front of it, with up to 9 meters in range. That would eliminate the requirement for a PIR sensor, since the camera sensor already "sees" Infrared.

        • b-radicool on 10/10/2017 - 17:14

          So it's no different to the Xiaofang, then?

        • 10101010101 on 10/10/2017 - 20:37

          @b-radicool:
          No PIR is better at avoiding false motion detection due to the wind. Will effectively detect heat movement which generally indicated a person or animal moving past

    • adr8 on 10/10/2017 - 17:23

      Also has 6 infa-red LEDs, Xiaofang has 2.

      • CVonC on 10/10/2017 - 17:53

        Gosh would that make it more sensitive to motion then since it can "see" more in the dark?

        • adr8 on 10/10/2017 - 19:25

          Just specifying the differences that is what super poor asked, take what you want from it :)

          Yeah.. and I was asking a legit question cos I know how sensitive the xiaofang is even on the lowest setting.

          Thanks for the neg anon lol.

          I know these were released later so am assuming they are better but will hold off purchasing till you can get them for under $20 AU as I already have the xioafang.

        • CVonC on 10/10/2017 - 20:09

          @dfaktz:

          It was a genuine question with an assumption based on previous experience with the xiaofang.

        • dfaktz on 10/10/2017 - 20:10

          @CVonC: Do you start all your questions with a sarcastic 'Gosh' and make sure to put some air quotes in?

        • CVonC on 10/10/2017 - 22:01
          +5

          @dfaktz:

          The gosh was warranted simply because the xiaofang's motion detection is way too sensitive (like us bunch of ozbargainers it seems) as it is as any owner would know. So given the fact that it only has 2 IR lights where as the dafang triples that amount, one would assume the sensitivity to motion may well be even greater.

        • stinkydog on 11/10/2017 - 13:14
          +1

          @CVonC: I wonder if the increase in sensors would result in more accuracy, resulting in fewer false positives?

        • CVonC on 11/10/2017 - 16:07

          @stinkydog:

          Well I would think the lights are more for seeing in the dark and the sensing is in the software algorithm?

    Nice deal, but a word of caution.

    The Mihome app sucks & the alternatives are clunky. And I assume you need to use the MiHome app to properly control the pan and tilt movement functions? Don't think the hacks support those, just yet.

    Someone with time, patience and technical know-how will enjoy, but they aren't straightforward to use. Phone OS upgrades frequently break the app functionality and the app contains a heady mix of Chinese, English and Chinglish.

    Oh and your location, wifi password and video stream all go to China. If that bothers you.

        Same here, MiHome worked after selecting Chinese servers. Be aware though that you will need to install MiHome to use any of these Mi products properly and the application will require just about every permission you can think of (on Android anyway) as well as your home wifi password. I ended up unistalling it, partially because of privacy concerns and also because i started getting random wifi and bluetooth issues. Tradeoff is I cant use these devices anymore except for the vacuum which seems to work ok without the app. Never tried any of the hacks so cant comment on them.

          To be fair other IoT devices I've added require the wifi password so it can connect to the wifi. Only exception has been Google Home which didn't require it, probably because the app just read the password from the wpasupplicant.conf file

        What do you mean by wrong MiHome app?
        There’s only 1 on iOS App Store.

        I am asking as after installing the beta iOS 11 I had the app showing me buttons with background developer codes.
        Eg. button.logout.something. - this text is on the button instead of just logout. Etc but they work.

        I since have upgraded to iOS 11 and .2 version still same issues.
        MiHome app have had 2 updates on the new iOS too.
        Also tried deleting and restarting then redown loading.

        • Abbi on 11/10/2017 - 17:01

          In google Play Store there is an app called "Mi Home" which is incorrect. I don't even know what it does. There is also another app that is "MiHome" and is the correct one. You can search the store for it by using "MiHome" (no space in between the words) or "mijia".

      In my experience no.

      I had two of the xiaofang for this prupose. The App sucks and if you/your mrs is like mine with a newborn, tired and angry, then these are likely to be thrown at someone.

      They just aren't reliable enough, the camera feed or app might freeze and you have no way of knowing unless you look closely at the time stamp. If your OS update or the app updates then they may simply not work. You can spend hours hunting for solutions online.

      • devpress on 10/10/2017 - 19:24

    • NobalaKoba on 10/10/2017 - 18:39

      As Ozimodo said, the app "will require just about every permission you can think of".

      They also have a difficult setup process, and aren't as reliable as you'd hope for, you know, a security camera that needs to be reliable.

      Don't think tin foil hats have anything to do with the above.

      • LJH23 on 10/10/2017 - 22:02

        I use the app and had no problem setting up either of my cameras. The only information I have given is my guest vlan wifi details. Otherwise they can treat themselves to riveting static views of my fence and a hedge. I'm sure the Chinese will seek to invade us ASAP to capture my lovely pittosporums

        • NobalaKoba on 10/10/2017 - 23:19
