The Xiaomi Outdoor Camera AW300 outdoor surveillance camera is an excellent solution for daily reassurance. We appreciate it even more when it is available for only 39.99 euros instead of 69.99 euros on the manufacturer's official website.
Xiaomi's catalog of connected objects dedicated to surveillance is now well stocked. The Chinese brand has notably designed several references of connected cameras, some intended to be installed indoors while others can also be placed on an exterior wall thanks to their weather resistance. This is precisely the case with the Xiaomi Outdoor Camera AW300, which can film in 2K and trigger a siren in the event of an intrusion, among other things. A reassuring device that crushes the competition thanks to its really low price today.

Initially displayed at 69.99 euros, then reduced to 39.99 euros, the Xiaomi Outdoor Camera AW300 is now offered at 39.99 euros on the brand's website.
An easy-to-install, rain-resistant camera
The Xiaomi Outdoor Camera AW300 surveillance camera comes in the form of a small cylinder equipped with two small Wi-Fi antennas, supposed to provide a more stable network connection. For its installation, nothing could be simpler: simply screw it onto its base, which will have been fixed either to the ceiling or to a wall. The camera can then be oriented at different angles. Note that it works with a 3 meter cable, which avoids worrying about the remaining autonomy all the time.
As specified above, the Xiaomi Outdoor Camera AW300 is resistant to water and dust, hence its IP66 certification. It can even operate in extreme temperatures, from -30°C to 60°C, that’s saying something.
Detailed images, even at night
While many outdoor surveillance cameras only film in Full HD, the Xiaomi Outdoor Camera AW300 films in 2K (2304 x 1296 pixels). Enough to make the captured images much sharper and more detailed. We are also entitled to a wide viewing angle which allows us to cover a sufficiently large area in front of the home. The device is also equipped with two infrared lights which allow filming at night. Added to this are two powerful white lights which are triggered as soon as human movement is detected, allowing you to obtain color videos, even when it is really dark outside. Videos that can then be stored locally on a microSD.
Finally, the Xiaomi Outdoor Camera AW300 comes with an application that provides several features, such as live video streaming or the possibility of defining precise detection zones that you want to monitor more. Sending notifications as soon as suspicious movement is spotted is also possible. Note also that moving vehicles can be detected by the camera up to a distance of 25 meters, and human movements up to 10 meters during the day. In the event of an intrusion, the AW300 can also trigger a siren and turn on a floodlight to deter unwanted visitors.
