if u are asking if the dafang/xiaofang usage, it will generally depends how frequently you are viewing or downloading the videos.

viewing a few seconds a day will probably be enough. but if you are operating it continuously, then sure not enough. i see the transfer rate like 50-100kbps usually. there is usually a few seconds lagging effect as i know.

if you are downloading recorded videos from the unit over the net... guarantee not enough.

Boss, I scan the QR and ask me DL the chinese apps for ios. It is the only 1 and english right ?

Ya mi Home app. Select China server and English
You can also try Singapore server but not sure if that can work

Ok boss. Already DL. Go back try the new cam.

Have you guys encounter such problem.

Just got the cam yesterday. Time setup, plug in the usb, I hear a click inside. Orange led light up in front the cam. Wait and wait but nothing happen. The light suppose to change to green and will swing left/right ? I check it from youtube.

But my unit remain in orange light with stand still for more than an hr. USB plug in/out dozen time. Remain the same. Press the setup button dozen time, no sexy voice.

Wonder the unit have problem out of the box.

Is this the setting up stage?or after that?
Which server did you use?

It is setting up stage.

Using mainland China server. iPhone setup side have no problem and everything when smooth. Already at the add in device page where ask to connect cam, wait 15 Sec, press setup bla bla bla.

u may want to reset and unplug the unit. let it rest for a few hours or try reinstalling from step 1 the next day.

cheers.

is your wifi 2.4ghz or 5ghz?
it can only connect to 2.4ghz

not sure where you are stop but it is suppose to be like this -

1. open mi home app and select dafang from the picture list and add it
2. press the reset button at the bottom
3. once you hear the voice, check the circle and press Next
4. it will then ask you to key in the password of your wifi
5. the QR code will appear and you scan it with the dafang.
6. if it is successful - it will ask you select the Location and Name of your device
If it is not successful, you will need to redo all the above again. It may take several tries

please screenshot the page where you are having trouble

2.4ghz. It is maxis broadband and maxis original router.

Just now try in office. Same problem. Cam orange led light up and nothing happen. Won't change to green and dance around.

Office have 2 router. Both in 2.4ghz. Will it auto connect either 1 ?



Here the video I setup at home. Is it same respond condition as the rest unit ?



Here setup in office. Same condition as setup at home.



Setup procedure follow exactly. I can't even pass the "no.2. Press the reset button at the button". Or probably can't pass before no.1.

Confirm choose mainland China


Choose this Dafang .


And stuck at here

The setup in office is the next day. Same condition.

so after you press Setup, there is no voice prompt at all and this is where you cannot continue?
sounds like you got a bad unit

btw you are suppose to press Setup for 3 secs and let go.

Yup. till that level only. Can't move further without the respond from the cam.

I suspect the unit is faulty out of the box.

sorry to hear that. time to call the dealer

your dafang didnt even turn around when you first plug in the USB power?
should be like this -

Damn. 1st time buy Xiaomi gadget, give me bad impression.

Contact the dealer. Ask him come down to exchange another unit for me tomorrow.

Already watch few youtube yesterday.

It should turn green the light and dance.

My 1 sitting duck.

ya i know the feeling. Xiaofang was my first Xiaomi device and I got bad impression too.
i was skeptical to buy more but here I am with 71 xiaomi IoT devices all working good
you just happened to get a bad unit thats all. Not to worry

Boss, can the cam operate or view from PC ?
