Specifications
IMILAB EC6 Pro shoots in 4K (8MP) resolution, so the image remains clear and with a lot of detail even when zoomed in. HDR helps when there is both bright sun and shadow in the frame - the image is less "burned out". At night, the camera can display a color image with integrated spotlights, and in complete darkness it switches to IR mode. Two-way audio allows you not only to hear what is happening, but also to speak through the camera.
This is a PTZ type camera that rotates and tilts the image to cover 360° of the environment, and the 6× digital zoom helps you see in more detail. When motion is detected, automatic human tracking is activated, so the moving object remains in the frame. In practice, this is very convenient in the yard or at the entrance, when you want to see not „where someone was“, but where they went. In this way, one camera can cover a larger area.
EC6 Pro has AI detection algorithms that help distinguish between different events and reduce false alerts. It detects people, cars, animals, bicycles, as well as fire or smoke scenarios (beta). Once you determine what is most important to you, notifications become more accurate and less "noise" on your phone. Additionally, you can enable active deterrence with a siren and flashing lights.
The camera is controlled via the Xiaomi Home app: live view, PTZ control, notifications and settings in one place. You can create monitoring zones, change detection types and sensitivity to make the camera work according to the reality of your yard. It is convenient to share access with your family so that everyone can see what is happening if necessary. If you are already using the Xiaomi ecosystem, this integration is one of the biggest pluses.
It can be mounted on a wall, ceiling or pole, making it easy to adapt to your yard or entrance. The connection supports Wi-Fi 6 in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, and there is also a LAN (RJ45) connection if you want the most stable internet. IP66 resistance means that rain and dust are no longer a problem every day. The operating temperature is declared from −30°C to +60°C, making it suitable for both winter and summer heat.
You can store recordings on a micro SD card (up to 256GB), in the Cloud, or on a NAS, if you have such a solution at home. Micro SD is the simplest option without monthly fees, and NAS is convenient for those who want a centralized archive. Cloud is usually chosen as an additional backup if you want another level of security, although it is already a paid service.
The camera supports Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, so you can conveniently call up the image on a smart display or other compatible devices. This is useful when you want to quickly check the yard or entrance without your phone in hand. Voice control is especially convenient in everyday situations when you are in the kitchen, garage or with the kids. If you already have an assistant at home, this feature is a real time saver.
