Xiaomi has launched its Mi TV Webcam in India today. The device will allow people to place video calls in FHD resolution at 25fps via their smart TVs. The webcam allows a 71-degree field of view and includes dual far-field microphones for better audio performance during calls.
The webcam comes with a USB interface that will allow you to connect the device with a range of other Android TV-based smart TVs in addition to Mi TV and Redmi TV models. Overall, the Mi TV Webcam appears to be identical to the OnePlus TV Camera that was launched earlier this month.
Mi TV Webcam Specifications and features
The Mi TV Webcam enables video calls via Google Duo. It features a 2-megapixel sensor that supports 1080p video recording at 25fps. The camera also comes with dual stereo microphones that are capable of capturing audio from a distance of up to four metres. Further, there is a 3D image noise reduction algorithm that is touted to help reduce picture grain.
To offer some privacy, this Webcam comes with a physical shutter that can be slipped over the lens with a swipe when the camera is not in use. There is also a USB Type-C port for connectivity (a 1.5-meter USB-A to USB Type-C cable is bundled in the box).
Setting up the Webcam is easy thanks to its adjustable magnetic base that attaches to a smart TV or a computer. Once attached, users need to install the Google Duo app from the TV app store and pair it with the camera to make and receive video calls.
Xiaomi’s Webcam is compatible with Android TV 8 and above and is supported by all Mi TV and Redmi TV models. It is also compatible with desktops running on at least Windows 7. The device measures 80x35x67mm and weighs 45.6 grams.
Mi TV Webcam price and availability in India
The Mi TV Webcam is available at Rs 1,999 in India. You will be able to purchase the device via Mi.com as well as Mi Home and Mi Studio stores starting June 28. Notably, the pricing of this Webcam is lesser than that of the OnePlus TV Camera that debuted at Rs. 2,499. Both webcams have virtually the same specifications and design.
