TapTechNews September 13th news, recently a woman shared the surveillance video of her own bedroom, saying that she suddenly heard a strange man speaking.
In response, a spokesperson for Xiaomi Corporation released a statement today, and TapTechNews attaches the full text as follows:
1. For the product that appeared in the relevant video, according to the screenshot information of the access record provided by the user, no one accessed at the corresponding time.
2. The camera of this model has a sound echo cancellation function (AEC). The sound emitted by the camera speaker will be filtered out by the echo cancellation algorithm after being collected by the camera microphone, so during the intercom process between the camera and the mobile phone, the sound played by the camera speaker will not be recorded and stored. If it is the sound emitted by this machine, it will not be recorded in the playback monitoring video.
3. The camera and related network services of this model have not been under network attack, and no unauthorized individual or device can have a voice conversation with this camera. The only way to have a voice conversation with the camera is through the real-time end-to-end encrypted communication channel established with the camera through the Mijia App, and the encrypted channel uses a one-time pad mechanism and adopts industry-standard encryption algorithms.
4. Through communication, we have obtained the user's consent, retrieved the device and tested it, and currently the device status is all normal. We will test it again later. At the same time, we also invited a third-party appraisal agency to appraise and test this product to ensure the public's right to know about security guarantees.
We attach great importance to user security and privacy protection. Xiaomi smart cameras are strictly designed and developed in accordance with relevant national standards and Xiaomi's Consumer Internet of Things Security Baseline requirements, and follow Xiaomi's product security development process. The products have undergone security evaluations and penetration tests at all stages of demand design and function development to ensure that security risks are identified and disposed of in advance and the products are safely handed over to users. The Xiaomi Security Center continuously verifies the security protection mechanism of the sold products to ensure the continuous effectiveness of the security protection level of Xiaomi products. Thank you for the attention of the majority of netizens and the media.
