i wonder can record from phone right? i dunno where is it saved in my phone...can only snapshot..but cant find the video...is it because i didnt insert memory card?

Yes, you can record directly into your phone. The recorded files are in your Gallery, for iOS. If you're on Android, try to search using a File Manager.

nice item

I cant seems to download motion detected video...

Somehow i managed to dump video to router with unifi modem without the use of mi router.

Hello,
I am owner of Xiaomi Dafang.
I managed to setup successfully, I can see the live image from the camera and other functions work well... But I have problem.. !

I have trouble sharing my Dafang camera live image with another Mi Account user ... It is supposed to work, I goto the settings menu and choose <share>, asks me the other account info., I give the correct details... and it says "Invitation sent"... BUT on the other user account NOTHING is received... No invitation... Nothing...
So I cannot share...???

Does anybody have this problem..? How do you make this work???

Thanks...!

[GUIDE] Setting up Network Attached Storage (NAS) for Da Fang IP Cam without Mi WiFi


Firmware used
Mi Home 5.1.24
DaFang 5.5.1.287

Modem used
TP Link Archer C1200 (v1 firmware)

HDD storage setup
Before plugging in the HDD into the modem, you need to create folders using a PC.
1) Create new folder named "TDDOWNLOAD" at root level of your HDD
2) Inside the new folder, create another new file named "xiaofang"
3) Done

Modem setup
The modem that i used comes with USB storage which is provided free from Unifi.

1) Plug in HDD into the USB slot at the back of the modem.
2) Login into the modem. I used 192.168.0.1 to access my modem.
3) On the first page you should be able to see the USB icon lighted up.
4) Go to "Advanced" tab
5) Click on "USB Settings > Sharing Access" on the left side menu
6) Under "Sharing Settings", change the Network/Media Server Name to "XiaoMi"
7) Enable "Network Neighborhood" and "FTP"
8) Under "Folder Sharing" settings, toggle OFF "Share All"
9) Click "+ Add". A new settings menu will appear.
10) Choose the volume name to the TDDOWNLOAD you created
11) Select and check "TDDOWNLOAD" as the Folder Path
12) Name it as "TDDOWNLOAD"
13) Check "Allow Guest Network Access", "Enable Write Access", and "Enable Media Sharing"
14) Click OK to confirm.

Mi Home App Setup
1) Access the Dafang Camera App from the Mi Home app.
2) From the "..." menu, click on "Camera Settings" then "Storage Management"
3) Click on "Video dump router", then "Start dumping"
4) "Success" prompt will appear if successful.
5) Done!

Remark
1) You need to insert SD Card into the Dafang IPCam before use.
2) Transfer from camera to the NAS is not immediate. It transfer during the preset time of 8am and 5pm.
3) If you are using Windows 10, you need to enable SMBv1 on windows setting to directly access to the video folder. But doing so will be vulnerable to ransomware attack. You can still access via FTP, but viewing the video can be inconvenient.

Modem setup page


This is how the folder would look like when there is successful video dump.

Great guide! Will give it a try later.

That's awesome, thank you very much. I got it to work on my Asus router. Not exactly like the steps above, more or less it gives me some idea; folder and volume name,samba sharing. I didn't create the xiaofang file though, just a folder under that name.
