Just wondering, if my location already set to mainland china, can I still add cameras that are global version? Because currently I'm using a china set, planning to add a global set.

When you change to global, if that set is not available in globally, it will grey out.

I think not as your xiaomi app will connect to the camera HW first before you can view the content.

If you previously have set to send alert to your phone, the video recording should be in Xiaomi cloud and can be downloaded to your phone (if the camera still intact). Not sure how you can retrieve these videos if the camera HW is not available to authenticate.

Maybe other experienced users would be able to advise you on how to retrieve them.

I just bought this camera. How do you record continuously 24/7? As in not record it by motion detection?

I see the Auto Record and recording mode options, and I've set it to uninterrupted video. But how do I initiate the recording? When I click the record on main screen, if I leave the app the camera will stop recording. Am I missing something here?

Edit: nvm wrong device thread

Hi My Dafang ( 2 units) is giving me the "use only in mainland China" message. My apps region is set to Mainland China since day 1, It was working fine before for years. Must be some firmware upgraded .

How can i recover it?

Thanks. The voice instructions are in Chinese. Very difficult for non-Chinese speaking person like me.

set the same SSID and password as your old router. Camera will connect back itself.
