Mi Security Camera App for Windows
Now you can live view your Mi Security Cameras directly on your Windows without the need of using an Android emulator (such as Bluetacks or Phoenix OS). The Official PC app which was earlier only available for the Chinese market is now translated into English and now have an option to choose the Mi Server for your cameras, However, this is still done with a simple code modification in the config file but it is by far the best option available to live view these cameras onto your PC. Earlier I also had written an article on this using the Chinese version but the only drawback with that was at that time that software only supported Chinese region cameras, this is fixed now and with a little modification you can select your own choice of server from the software. Continue reading below to know how to install it and what functions it incorporates.
As we have advanced, this application is only compatible with Windows (XP / 7 / 8 and 10) and although all the texts and menus are in Chinese, its interface is simple and intuitive.
Head over to the below link to download the Mi Security Camera App for PC.
Download Link Updated: 05/08/2021
Version: 1.5.8.0
Double click to open the exe file to start the installer and follow on-screen instructions to install the software on your PC, the interface of the exe installer will be in Chinese so you can refer to the above GIF to understand which button to click.
Now when you open the installed app it will only able to stream cameras in China Mainland region now to adjust the app according to your region just follow the below steps:
Head over to the installation folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\imilab\С°×ÖǼÒ)
and open the file config.dll in any of your editor (Notepad). You will see two lines in the config.dll file first one is for language and another is machineCode which represents your server region. By default the machineCode is set to cn which is for China Mainland, you just need to replace the cn with the below-mentioned codes as per your region and save the file.cn – China Mainland
sg – Middle East and Asia
i2 – India
de – Europe and UK
us – North and South America
Launch the software from your start menu after you have saved your chosen region in the config.dll file.
Login with either your mobile number with OTP or use email id and password to access your cameras. Make sure that you have added the cameras in your Mi Home Mobile App.
Once you logged in you can switch views to view multiple cameras, control audio, pause feed and more.
The Software currently supports only the Windows Operating system, It is not compatible with macOS, and other Linux OS.
PTZ Functions are not currently supported. Above all, it will allow you to Live View your Mi 1080p Basic and Mi 1080p 360 Security Cameras.
Logout functionality is buggy as of now, app will crash as you hover your mouse over the username, To do re-login you can run the IMIClientLogin.exe file from the installation directory.

Thank You, It Works perfectly.
HI
I WANT TO SIGN APP IN ENGLISH
Edit the config.dll file and change language code to "1".
There ain't no dll you idiot, what are you fucking about, you thief?
Try opening the app once you installed, the config file generates after you run the app for the first time. If its still not there then you can create a config file using notepad, save the file as config.dll and paste the following content in it replacing your server code.

{
“language”: 1,

Hi,
Thanks for redirecting me to this update.
I downloaded and installed the application, upon checking the config.dll, all seems fine:
"language": 1,
"machineCode": "cn"
But my Xiaomi Smart Camera Standard 2020 edition (MJSXJ02HL) doesn't show up, while it does in the Mi Home app.
What am I doing wrong? I'm connected to the same WiFi, no VPN.
Thanks for the input!
Is your region in Mi Home App set to China Mainland?
Set the region that you have in Mi Home app in the config file.
Yes, my mi home app is set to mainland china, and the PC app to "cn", so I'm guessing that's mainland china?
I think your camera is not supported as of right now. Please head over to this page (https://www.imilab.com/product_pc.html) to verify whether your camera model is listed. Upcoming updates might fix this.
I don't see any config.dll in the folder :/

This is the an official application developed by Imilab which is a subsidiary of Xiaomi in China. It is developed solely for the Chinese market but which some config edit we can use it for almost any region. Also the login system is OTP based so you don't need to enter any password.
The download link we provided is also from its official website so there is no third party involvement, we just provided a guide how to use it for your region, if you still think that it is some kind of fraud application then you are free to not use it.
