New Device from Xiaomi Combines Smart Screen, PTZ Camera with 360-Degree Vision, Infrared for Night Vision, and Advanced Voice Assistant That Interprets Sequential Commands, Combining Automation, Monitoring, and Communication Functions in a Single Device.
Xiaomi Unveiled the Smart Home Screen 8 Gimbal Edition, a smart speaker with a screen that introduces the integration of a PTZ Camera in its line.
The assembly moves horizontally and vertically to cover the entire environment, records in 3K, and enhances surveillance with 940 nm infrared, designed for dark scenes.
In addition to serving as a smart hub, the device comes with Super Xiao AI, a voice assistant capable of interpreting sequential commands and maintaining natural dialogues.

Harvard scientists have created a tissue exoskeleton that does not look like an exoskeleton, with no rigid parts and reduced weight, using flexible cables and miniaturized motors to assist the ankle and hip, reducing the effort of walking by up to 23% in controlled tests.
The model debuts in China for ¥ 699 and has an official launch on August 21, with no forecast for other markets.
PTZ Camera with 360-Degree Rotation
Unlike traditional smart screens, the new device integrates a 5 MP module mounted on a gimbal. It allows 360° horizontal rotation to cover blind spots in the room.
Vertically, the device accepts adjustments of up to 30°, useful for aligning the framing according to furniture and installation height.
This assembly is aimed at home monitoring, featuring 3K images to capture fine details and reduce noise.
In low-light areas, the system activates 940 nm infrared LEDs, a range that helps maintain discretion and improves clarity without causing glare.
This feature ensures clearer images at night, making it suitable for use as a baby monitor, living room camera, or pet observation point.
8-Inch Screen for Different Usage Profiles
The front of the product is occupied by an 8-inch screen, which adapts content and interfaces to different usage profiles.
In a family context, it allows for baby monitoring, with easy access to video and shortcuts to common features. For children, the system displays curated educational materials and usage controls.
In adults’ daily lives, it includes productivity tools, schedule, and health reminders, transforming the screen into a quick panel for home routines.
The device combines functions that currently depend on smartphones into a single point.
Thus, without taking focus away from what’s being done, it’s possible to check the living room camera, answer a video call, or check messages, all from the base on the countertop.
Super Xiao AI Interprets Multiple Commands
The Super Xiao AI assistant equips the device and enhances the voice experience with interpretation of multiple commands in the same sentence.
It provides responses that consider the recent context.
In practice, the user can trigger a sequence of actions without needing to repeat the name of each device or service constantly. This approach favors typical household routines.
In a single request, it is possible to dim the lights, close the curtains, and start a playlist.
The system maintains natural dialogues, simplifying requests for fine adjustments and specific queries without leaving the same interaction.
Connectivity with Xiaomi Ecosystem
To integrate the connected home, the Smart Home Screen 8 Gimbal Edition offers Bluetooth 5.2 and support for Xiaomi Mesh 2.0. This standard facilitates communication with other devices in the ecosystem.
The goal is to centralize control of lamps, sockets, sensors, and compatible appliances, reducing the number of hubs and applications needed.
By adopting the brand’s ecosystem, the screen serves as an automation panel while also functioning as a point of media and communication interaction.
From it, the user can see who is ringing the doorbell with video, initiate a call, trigger the vacuum, or check the status of an air purifier, keeping everything accessible by touch or voice.
Monitoring and Privacy Features
As the product incorporates a camera, the manufacturer includes modes for home-targeted monitoring.
Among the expected functions are basic alerts, such as motion detection and more stable framing tracking thanks to the gimbal.
For nighttime use, the 940 nm infrared enhances surveillance capability without visible light, preserving the privacy of those in the environment.
Although the camera is the highlight, the focus is on environment control with visual assistance.
The user has visibility of the room when needed but deals daily with a hub interface that gathers the main commands, information, and reminders from the connected home.
Price and Availability
The Smart Home Screen 8 Gimbal Edition first arrives in the Chinese market for ¥ 699, with the launch taking place this Thursday (21).
So far, there is no forecast for sales outside China, which includes the absence of information on approval or official support in other countries.
What Differentiates the Model
The model’s differential lies in the PTZ camera integrated into the smart display, eliminating the need for a separate camera for monitoring.
The 360° rotation and 30° tilt expand coverage of the environment, while the 940 nm infrared keeps the scene visible in the dark.
In the software layer, Super Xiao AI enables sequential commands and contextual responses, a feature that enhances voice control efficiency for household tasks.
By combining monitoring, an informational panel, and an automation hub in a single device, Xiaomi introduces into the market a model that concentrates different functions into one base.
Do you believe that the integration of a PTZ camera and AI assistant in a smart display can replace the use of separate devices in home automation?
