Xiaomi's Japanese subsidiary, Xiaomi Japan (Xiaomi Technology Japan), released two home monitoring cameras on June 30, 2026[1]. The outdoor "Xiaomi Outdoor Camera CW300" carries a suggested retail price of 7,980 yen (including tax), while the indoor, 4K-capable "Xiaomi Smart Camera C701 Pro" is priced at 15,980 yen (including tax)[1]. Both models feature local AI detection that identifies people on the device itself rather than relying on the cloud, positioning them as a way to monitor both the outside and inside of a home in high-resolution video[1].

Outdoor Camera CW300: Stronger Security with Local AI and Auto Tracking

The outdoor CW300 pairs a 4-megapixel camera with a large-aperture lens to deliver ultra-high-resolution video that stays sharp in fine detail even when zoomed in[1]. At night, a built-in light switches on automatically when a person is detected, enabling Smart Full-Color Night Vision that lets you check the surroundings in full color even in complete darkness[1].

At the core of its security features is a next-generation local AI person-detection algorithm that requires no cloud connection[1]. The camera identifies people accurately and quickly on its own, automatically tracking and recording their movement while sending notifications to a smartphone[1]. When a person is detected in the monitored area, the camera also activates active defense through sound and light, triggering a loud siren and a high-frequency flashlight to deter intruders[1].

Because the lens can be panned up, down, left, and right from a smartphone, the camera flexibly covers a wide area[1]. A high-sensitivity microphone, a high-output speaker, and AI noise cancellation together enable clear two-way calls even in noisy outdoor environments[1]. It supports three mounting methods—ceiling, wall, and pole—and its IP66 dust and water resistance keeps it running stably in bad weather[1].

Indoor Camera C701 Pro: Broad, Smart Coverage with a 4K Dual Camera and 9x Zoom

The indoor C701 Pro adopts a dual-camera design that combines an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens with a 5-megapixel telephoto lens to deliver 4K ultra-high-resolution video[1]. It supports 9x hybrid zoom, capturing everything clearly from a wide-angle view of the whole room to close-up detail[1]. An invisible infrared light lets it record clear footage in the dark without disturbing sleep with a red glow[1].

Its AI detection is designed for a wide range of uses, from single-person households to families, supporting not only home security but also baby cry detection and pet monitoring[1]. For moving subjects, the lens automatically zooms to the optimal size while tracking them, capturing fast movements smoothly[1]. It also supports gesture recognition—simply making an "OK" gesture toward the camera places a call to a linked smartphone—and voice control through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant[1].

A unique pan-tilt structure covers a wide field of view of 360 degrees horizontally and 180 degrees vertically, greatly reducing blind spots[1]. Communication uses a fast, low-latency dual-band connection for smooth video transmission[1].

Attention to Privacy and Security

The C701 Pro uses a built-in MJA1 security chipset so that each camera holds its own unique private key, and all data transmission is processed through the chipset to protect privacy and security[1]. It supports remote operation from the Xiaomi Home app, and the lens cover can be lowered manually to physically block recording[1]. Both the outdoor CW300 and the indoor C701 Pro share a design that centers on local AI detection and reduces reliance on the cloud[1].

Price and Sales Channels

The Xiaomi Outdoor Camera CW300 has a suggested retail price of 7,980 yen (including tax), and the Xiaomi Smart Camera C701 Pro is priced at 15,980 yen (including tax), both available from June 30, 2026 (Tuesday)[1]. Sales channels include directly operated stores such as Xiaomi Store locations and the Xiaomi Service Center Akihabara, as well as online outlets including the official Xiaomi website (mi.com), the official Xiaomi Rakuten store, Amazon.co.jp, the official Xiaomi Japan TikTok Shop, and Yahoo! Shopping[1][2].

Summary

Xiaomi Japan released the outdoor "Xiaomi Outdoor Camera CW300" (7,980 yen) and the indoor, 4K-capable "Xiaomi Smart Camera C701 Pro" (15,980 yen) on June 30, 2026. The CW300 strengthens outdoor security with local AI person detection, auto tracking, and active defense through sound and light, while the C701 Pro covers indoor monitoring with a 4K dual camera, 9x zoom, gesture recognition, and a privacy-protection chip. With cloud-independent detection and relatively accessible pricing, these cameras are worth considering for anyone who wants to cover both the inside and outside of a home within a single ecosystem.
