Xiaomi CW500 Dual Outdoor 2.5K Wi-Fi 6 Smart Security Camera – Advanced Protection for South African Homes & Businesses
 
When it comes to outdoor security cameras, reliability, clarity, and smart detection matter more than anything else. The Xiaomi CW500 Dual Outdoor 2.5K Wi-Fi 6 Smart Security Camera is designed for modern homes and small businesses that need professional-grade surveillance without the complexity or high costs of traditional CCTV systems.
 
This is not just another Wi-Fi camera. The CW500 Dual combines dual-lens coverage, 2.5K ultra-clear video, Wi-Fi 6 stability, and AI-powered smart detection into one robust outdoor unit built to handle South African weather conditions and real-world security challenges.
 
Dual-Lens Design = Wider Coverage, Fewer Blind Spots
The standout feature of the Xiaomi CW500 Dual is its dual-camera system. Instead of installing multiple cameras to cover different angles, this single unit uses two independent lenses to monitor a wider area simultaneously.
One lens focuses on fixed wide-angle coverage
The second lens provides pan-tilt movement for dynamic tracking
This means fewer cameras, simpler installation, and better overall visibility around driveways, entrances, yards, parking areas, and perimeter walls.
 
Crisp 2.5K Ultra-HD Video – See the Details That Matter
Security footage is only useful if you can actually identify what’s happening. With 2.5K resolution, the CW500 Dual delivers noticeably sharper video than standard 1080p cameras.
You’ll be able to:
Read vehicle number plates more clearly
Identify faces with greater accuracy
Zoom in without losing critical detail
 
Whether you’re monitoring your home, warehouse, office, or retail space, this higher resolution gives you confidence that recordings will stand up when you really need them.
 
Wi-Fi 6 Connectivity – Stronger, More Stable Outdoor Streaming
Unlike older outdoor cameras that struggle with interference and distance, the Xiaomi CW500 Dual supports Wi-Fi 6, offering:
Faster data transmission
Improved stability over longer distances
Better performance in environments with multiple connected devices
 
This is especially useful for South African homes and businesses where routers may be shared between smart TVs, phones, laptops, and other IoT devices.
 
Smart AI Human Detection – Fewer False Alerts
One of the biggest frustrations with basic motion cameras is constant false notifications caused by wind, rain, pets, or moving shadows. The CW500 Dual uses AI-based human detection to intelligently distinguish between people and background movement.
 
Benefits include:
More accurate alerts
Reduced notification fatigue
Faster response to real security events
You’ll only be alerted when it truly matters.
 
Full-Colour Night Vision with Smart Lighting
Night-time security is where many cameras fall short. The Xiaomi CW500 Dual features advanced night vision, combining infrared sensors with built-in white LED lights for full-colour night footage when required.
This allows:
Clear visibility in total darkness
Colour footage for better identification
Automatic light activation as a visible deterrent
Intruders don’t like being seen – and this camera makes sure they are.
 
Two-Way Audio – Hear and Be Heard
With its built-in microphone and speaker, the CW500 Dual supports two-way audio communication through the Xiaomi Home app.
This lets you:
Speak to visitors or delivery drivers
Warn off suspicious activity remotely
Monitor sound activity around your property
 
It’s an extra layer of control, even when you’re not on-site.
Built for Outdoor Conditions – Rain, Dust & Heat Resistant
Designed specifically for outdoor use, the CW500 Dual features a weather-resistant housing suitable for year-round installation. It handles rain, dust, wind, and temperature changes commonly experienced across South Africa.
 
Mount it confidently on:
Exterior walls
Poles
Gates
Under roof eaves
 
Flexible Storage Options – Local & Cloud
You can choose how your footage is stored:
Local microSD card storage (no monthly fees)

This flexibility makes the CW500 Dual suitable for both home users and small businesses looking to control long-term costs.
