IMILAB EC3 European version
IMILAB EC3 is the European version
The camera has the same parameters, but in the Mi Home application it works under European servers, which means higher connection reliability and more stable control.
The European version also comes with English voice commands.
Designed for outdoor
IMILAB EC3 is not a robust device at all. Its dimensions are only 117 x 116 mm. It's white, so it's easy for anyone to notice. In addition to scanning, it also has a deterrent function against potential thieves.
As it is an outdoor device, it must be able to withstand external conditions. This is what protection is for IP66which guarantees resistance to water and dust.
The camera is therefore resistant to rain, snow, sun and dust. Can work at temperature -20 to 60 ℃.
It can also function as a WiFi extender
The built-in signal is used for signal transmission WiFi working on frequency 2.4 GHz. You can even use the camera as WiFi Hotspot to extend the WiFi signal.
Alternatively, you can choose to connect directly via LAN cable RJ45. The camera has two ways to connect to the network, wireless or wired. Which one you choose is up to you.
The camera is powered directly to the mains. The power cord is up to long 5 m, to make installation easier.
The camera can be controlled via a mobile application We Home. You can be in the picture and anytime and anywhere in real time. In addition, the application offers a number of options and functions for controlling the camera.
FullHD video and 270 ° rotation
IMILAB EC3 can record in Full HD quality, ie in resolution 1920 x 1080 px. Its aperture is f / 1.6.
It is also unique to record an image at night. The camera has a so-called "Full color“Night vision. Colors and images recorded at night will be more beautiful and realistic.
IMILAB EC3 has a codec H.265. The camera can be rotated up to 270 °, thanks to which you can cover a larger area. This operation can be done by Me Home application.
Great features
Among the functions of the IMILAB EC3 camera we can find, for example detection of the human body. In practice, this means that if a person gets into the subject, the camera will automatically send a notification to the phone about the person's detection.
He also has built-in microphone and speakerwhich allows two-way communication. For example, you know how to communicate with a postman, courier or visit while you see them via the application on your mobile.
Another great feature is reserving the exact key part of tracking. From the whole shot, you will reserve, for example, the entrance on which the camera will focus.
repository
Of course, the camera saves the recording in several ways. The first is to save the record to cloud storage. It stores a 10-second recording on it in case of intrusion detection.
The second way is to save the record directly to MicroSD card. It can have a maximum capacity of up to 256 GB.
Is there any way to convert the Chinese version to the EU version?
thank you
Why do they advertise it as having key area surveillance („key area care“) ??? It doesn't! The EU version at least.
Also, the notifications are received with delay. And the alarm is useless. You can only activate it manually and is on for 10 seconds. What's the point ??
It useless for me because there's no key area selectable + alarm on human detection. Seriously, it fails at the main selling points !!! This is called false advertising!
I wanted to ask in the description it says that it connects to the server and if I bought it in a chat where there is no internet connection, it must always connect to the server first or it works without a server, ie I put a camera in the network and insert a memory card and nothing more or if you don't know how to recommend it to me
The camera will record video to the card even without the Internet, you will not be able to access it remotely via a smartphone, as it will not be connected to the Internet.
Please help - I have an IMILAB EC3 camera - I connected the camera via the MI HOME application - there is no code for this camera in the app, it does not catch where I can find the QR code for the camera? Well thank you.
Hello, what country do you have set in Mi Home?
Hello, I have the same problem - I have Mainland China set up. If I give Czech, I will have problems with the rest of the sensors again. Now, when I scan the code from the camera with the Mainland China setting, I get the voice "The device is not supported".
