When the light is low, the camera switches to an Infrared camera that allows you to see in through the veil of darkness. Of course, the resolution isn’t as crisp as we’d have hoped but it works well enough. Below is a side-by-side comparison of the camera view with the security lights turned on and the save view in pitch darkness. Tracking The camera swivels around, hence the 360 in the name, and in the app, you can set the camera to track people as soon as they come into frame.

Verdict Extremely cheap, the Mi Home Security Camera 360° 2K has a lot of features for the price. It’s the motorised pan and tilt that really stand out, letting this camera take in a full 360-degree view of a room.

Motion control is quite basic and, once again, this camera has no ‘home’ position so you have to remember to focus it manually on the area that you’re interested in. Despite shooting 2K resolution videos, the end results are a little soft and I’ve seen better 1080p cameras. Design and installation • Micro SD card slot • Can be wall or bookshelf mounted With its smooth white plastic body, the bulbous Mi Home Security Camera 360° looks quite neat. It can be installed on a bookshelf, although there’s also a screw-in ceiling mount for this one. As you can move the lens horizontally and vertically in the app, you don’t have to be quite as thoughtful about where you place this camera compared to a regular security camera, as you can also adjust the v...

The Xiaomi Mi Home Security Camera 360 1080p records clear Full HD footage and can use ambient light to provide color video in low-light situations. Extremely affordable and easy to use, the inclusion of a microSD card slot means you don’t need to pay for a subscription service to review recorded footage at a later date. However, it isn’t the most stylish-looking device, and since it is mains-powered, it’s less flexible when it comes to placement than other models on the market.
