The Xiaomi Outdoor Camera CW300 is a weatherproof pan-tilt camera for driveways, gardens and entrances. A 4MP sensor behind an f/1.6 lens records 2.5K at 2560×1440, dual motors turn the lens in all directions from your phone, and AI human detection can lock on to a person and follow them. It is rated IP66 and can connect by 2.4GHz Wi-Fi or a wired Ethernet cable.

Xiaomi Outdoor Camera CW300 Picture: 2.5K and f/1.6
Xiaomi pairs a 4MP sensor with an f/1.6 large-aperture lens and records at 2560×1440, which it calls 2.5K. The wide aperture lets in more light, which helps at dusk and dawn before night mode takes over, and the extra pixels over a 1080p camera make faces and number plates easier to make out when you zoom into a clip.
Xiaomi does not publish the lens field of view, focal length or the exact sensor model for the Xiaomi Outdoor Camera CW300.
Pan-Tilt Tracking
Xiaomi describes a dual-motor pan-tilt design that rotates the lens in all directions from your smartphone. When the camera detects a person and locks on, it automatically follows and records them as they move. Xiaomi does not publish the exact pan and tilt angles, so we do not quote a degree figure for the Xiaomi Outdoor Camera CW300.
Night Vision and Deterrence
Xiaomi’s specification sheet lists two 850nm infrared lights and two white lights. Infrared gives black-and-white night video without lighting up the area, while the white lights switch on for full-colour footage when a person is detected, which shows clothing and car colours that infrared cannot.
When someone enters the monitored area, the camera can sound an audible alarm and flash its lights at high frequency to discourage intruders, and the alarm sound is customisable. A built-in microphone with AI noise cancellation and a high-power speaker allow two-way conversation with a delivery driver or visitor through the app.
Built for UAE Outdoors: IP66, Heat and Mounting
The Xiaomi Outdoor Camera CW300 is rated IP66 for dust and water resistance, which covers dust storms and heavy rain. Xiaomi notes that IP66 does not cover immersion in water and that the power adapter is not waterproof, so the adapter must sit indoors or in a sealed box.
The camera is rated to operate from -30°C to 60°C, while the adapter is rated from -30°C to 45°C, so mount the adapter in the shade. In the box Xiaomi includes a mounting bracket, an Ethernet waterproof kit, a mounting template, waterproof tape and screws; it can go on a ceiling, a wall, or a pole using 12mm hoops (not included).
Network, Storage and Security
You can connect over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi or plug in an Ethernet cable for a steadier link, which helps when the router is far from the gate. Recordings go to a microSD card from 8GB to 256GB (not included) or to cloud storage, and Xiaomi includes a 3-month rolling cloud storage service. An MJA1 security chip with unique encryption credentials protects the device. The app is Mi Home / Xiaomi Home, on Android 8.0 or iOS 12.0 and later.
Who This Is Not For
Skip the Xiaomi Outdoor Camera CW300 if your outdoor Wi-Fi is only on 5GHz: it supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only, though the Ethernet port is an alternative. It needs mains power through a 12V adapter, so it is not a battery or solar camera, and the adapter itself is not waterproof.
Xiaomi does not publish the pan and tilt angles, field of view or weight, and a microSD card is not included.
