The person involved in the Xiaomi camera controversy responds: Posting the video was not intended to deliberately discredit Xiaomi

Recently, a woman shared a monitoring video of her bedroom on the internet platform, claiming that she suddenly heard a strange man speaking from the Xiaomi Smart Camera 2 PTZ version. The video sparked public concerns about the privacy and security of camera products. On September 14th, the camera user involved in the incident released another video, stating that the original intention of installing the camera in the bedroom was to take care of her child. Xiaomi officials have contacted her after the incident and sent the camera back to the manufacturer for repairs. She clarified that the previous video was not intended to maliciously discredit Xiaomi, but simply to share the potential privacy leakage issue with cameras. She further emphasized that many cameras may have these vulnerabilities and reminded everyone to be more cautious when using them, as there is no need to keep them on 24 hours a day
