    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    What is the required SIM card capacity for the Xiaomi C201 Smart Camera?

    Answer

    Based on the user manual for the Xiaomi Smart Camera C201 (Model MBC27), this device is a Wi-Fi-based smart camera and does not use a SIM card. It connects to the internet via a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.

    If you are referring to the MicroSD card for local storage (which is often confused with a SIM card slot), the manual does not specify a maximum capacity, but typical Xiaomi smart cameras of this generation support up to 256GB. To ensure compatibility, use a high-quality MicroSD card (Class 10 or higher).

    Key connectivity specifications for this model include:

    • Wi-Fi Operation Frequency: 2400–2483.5 MHz
    • Power Input: 5V / 1A
    • App Support: Xiaomi Home app
  2. Minha câmera pede senha de 4 dígitos no celular mas no app aparece 6 digitos. Me ajuda

    Joseanne asks Minha câmera pede senha de 4 dígitos no celular mas no app aparece 6 digitos. Me ajuda
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why does my camera ask for a 4-digit password on my phone while the app shows 6 digits?

    Answer

    The Xiaomi Smart Camera C201 typically uses the Xiaomi Home app for setup. If you are encountering a mismatch between the number of digits requested for a password, please consider the following steps:

    • Check the Password Type: Ensure you are not confusing the device security PIN (often 4 digits) with your Xiaomi Account password or a one-time verification code (which can be 6 digits).
    • Reset the Camera: If the app is stuck or showing incorrect prompts, perform a reset. Press and hold the reset button until the indicator light turns orange. According to the manual, Keeping orange indicates the reset was successful and the device is awaiting connection.
    • Update the App: Ensure you are using the latest version of the Xiaomi Home app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, as digit requirements for security codes can change with software updates.
    • Calibration: If the camera is connected but behaving unexpectedly, the manual suggests using the calibration feature within the Xiaomi Home app settings.

    If the problem persists, you may need to verify your region settings in the app to ensure they match your physical location, as this can sometimes affect the authentication protocols used.
