1. The timelapse can record anytime by pressing a button or by a preset schedule of sunrise or sunset. There is a record button on the Mi Home which you press to start/recording a video. Same goes for photos.
2. Tested with Samsung Evo Plus 64GB
3. Yes, working fine with the Mi Home app. All is recorded into the microSD card including sound. The video is quite fast when I'm watching from outside using mobile data as the bitrate of the videos is quite small. Only time is can't watch the timelapse video as it recommended to watch on same wifi network.
4. Yes, will send out notification on the Mi Home app when motion is detected. Just like the Yi Home cam. If not mistaken, it detected motion when there was lightning when at night before. The motion detection can set low, medium or high sensitivity in the Mi Home app.
5. Night vision will auto switch on when it's dark. The speaker is so so. But what to expect from a rm100+- home cam?

Make sure buy from trusted seller sure guarantee original. Anyway, XiaoFang is only for the China market.

Yeah but for less than rm100... Don't think they'll put a network port on it for POE...

It's around rm80-100 in lazada, gemfive, 11street, aliexpress, etc... Buy directly in China, it's about rm60-70 only...

+Jun 18 2017, 10:08 PM-->Yes both also can... I did the time-lapse video using a powerbank...

You can use as many units as you want... The Mijia app can support...

1-Only thru Mi Home app
2-Decent video quality. Not the greatest though.
3-Haven't test this out yet but should depend on how big capacity the powerbank used?

Seems to be a MiHome app issue.
