      Not by much however it is currently the best price. I'd focus more on providing information to users who already have some Xiaomi sensor products to know what this camera offers and how it differs from ordinary IP cameras.

    Is there any benefit to having two gateways?

    Is it detrimental to have two?

    • Benjamin7711 on 19/01/2018 - 07:49
      +2

      The benefit would be being able to space them out for wider sensor spread, aswell as being able to have more sensors synced in one system. The original hub can hold 30 devices, I imagine this would be similar

      • sickburn on 19/01/2018 - 12:39

        Does the Mi Home app support multiple gateways?

      • nix1016 on 19/01/2018 - 12:49

        Dumb question, but can devices connected to one gateway control devices connected to another gateway? e.g. I have a motion sensor currently connected to my gateway that controls the lights. Would I be able to still control my lights AND this camera with the same motion sensor without having to reconnect my lights to the gateway on this camera?

        • merill on 19/01/2018 - 13:23
          +2

          I have two Gateways (one on each floor) and you can set up rules that go across gateways. e.g. I set up the sensor at the entrance to make both Gateways play a chime. I have also configured a button to play a sound on both gateways.

      The camera has a wide 180-degree field of view and records in 1080p (audio too). It allows storage to a micro SD card or cloud. Data is encrypted in transmission and requires two-way identity identification to ensure the privacy of your videos.

        requires two-way identity identification to ensure the privacy of your videos.

        How does it do this? I assume you mean Two Factor authentication?

        • sky blu on 19/01/2018 - 08:37

          I believe it is a fairly new product from Aqara (joining other Xiaomi cameras in the market), I couldn't find more info and there aren't any in-depth reviews on youtube (only unboxing ones).

          I reckon the security feature would likely be 2FA too.

      Not long before they are going to do geo restrictions on this, that's what happened to Xiaofang. These were designed for their domestic market like xiaofang, Sooner it will become a piece of toy then in the bin. Lol

    • sky blu on 19/01/2018 - 08:54
      +2

      I think it's not yet supported. Going by previous Aqara products on this list this camera is likely to be supported.

      The Dafang isn't though. There are tutorials on how to hack it.

      • econzune on 19/01/2018 - 13:37

        Sky Blu, I googled a bit and cannot find any hacks for the Dafang to use it with HASS. Can you point me to any solutions, please? I have the Dafang and like it a lot, but cannot get it into the HA environment.

          Google for fanghacks and home assistant.

    • [Deactivated] on 19/01/2018 - 11:28

      In the meantime you could do some ghetto automation using a smart plug to control on/off. Linking on/off to presence detection would improve its 'smartness'

  • Remorhaz on 19/01/2018 - 08:15

    Thanks - grabbed one

    Question - does anyone know is there an easy way to "move" devices between multiple gateways in the house (i.e. have them change their association of which gateway they are connected to) - other than removing them manually from one gateway and adding to another? I'm also running Home Assistant so will I have to manually remove and re-add the sensors/etc there if they've changed which gateway they are attached to?

    I have one gateway now but have another on order - plus this new camera which is also a gateway - and so plan to distribute the gateways around the house for better coverage (two of my current smart plugs are a long way from my current gateway and sometimes disconnect)

  • foogle on 19/01/2018 - 08:31

    I was planning to get one for monitoring from my window but the max operating temp of 40C is a deal breaker esp with the recent above 40C temp in Sydney ;( does anyone know if the electronics just fry when it hits 42C ?

    • nobby148 on 19/01/2018 - 09:11

      Well I haven't had mine fried yet (fingers crossed) live out in the Liverpool area so gets pretty hot the 40 degree Max temp is another reason why I didn't buy it back in November. Hence why I'm using the yi home camera 2 to do the monitoring around the house

    Had I know this cam comes integrated with Gateway, I wouldn't have bought the Gateway on its own.

    • v00d00 AU on 19/01/2018 - 09:27

      I took it as it connects with the existing Gateway as with the other zigbee's, but interpreting it differently maybe zigbee's can connect directly to the camera gateway instead. If this is the case, can these communicate with other devices connected through the standard gateway & vice versa.

      And if it can act as a gateway, im sure its very limited to the number of supported devices/total connected devices

      • tempura on 19/01/2018 - 09:32

        I took it as it connects with the existing Gateway as with the other zigbee's

        But then it states "It has a gateway function, which allows you to not only view home dynamic remotely but also can be connected with Mijia body/door/window sensor, wall switch and other ZigBee equipment". My interpretation to it is, it is the Gateway and can replace the 1 round Gateway that most of us have. The only way to test is for someone to report back and see if it's working with all the Xiaomi switches and sensors.

        And if it can act as a gateway, im sure its very limited to the number of supported devices/total connected devices

        Hmmm the 'normal' gateway is up to 30 devices right? so I assume the same?

        • fratzhaus on 19/01/2018 - 12:26

          This is what I really want to know, I want a IP camera, but i also want a gateway.
          2 in 1 would be amazing.

          If anyone can answer.. please

        • v00d00 AU on 19/01/2018 - 12:33

          ip camera + gateway ~= $36
          gateway ~= $25

          maybe? makes the ip camera a very cheap option/alternative/deal if thats the case. The detail could always have been lost in translation, when the deliveries start arriving we will soon know :)

        • v00d00 AU on 19/01/2018 - 18:38

          But if your wanting a security camera anyway, that's one less device required, unless ofc you actually want the gateway in your bedroom

    • jackwoz on 19/01/2018 - 15:24

      I would not expect this camera to have an inbuilt gateway, rather it has the ability to connect to the gateway. Why would Xioami lose sales on gateways. (I could be wrong though)

      EDIT: Looking at the picture though it does seem to portray that it does communicate directly with the sensors of the gateway…Very confusing

      • KupoHo on 19/01/2018 - 15:59
