Setup guide · Bridge · beta
Connect your Xiaomi camera to storage you own.
Xiaomi cameras connect through a beta bridge that runs on your own hub, with your own login. Nothing goes through Unicam’s servers.
- 1
Install the Unicam hub
- Install Unicam on a Mac or Windows PC, or run the hub on a Raspberry Pi, NAS or Docker host on the same network as the camera.
- 2
Get the stream link
- Xiaomi cameras have no local RTSP. A bridge on your own hub signs in with your account and turns the camera into a stream
- Paste the xiaomi:// source link from the bridge into Unicam
- 3
Add it in Unicam
- Open Add camera and pick “Xiaomi / Mi Home”
- Paste the link and give the camera a name
- Unicam checks the stream before saving it
- 4
Choose where footage goes
- Sign in to Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive, or add a NAS, S3, B2, R2 or Wasabi destination
- Pick a record mode: Events (motion only), Smart 24/7 or Continuous
- Every clip is encrypted on the hub before upload
Good to know
- Bridges depend on the vendor’s service and can break when it changes. Treat them as an advanced setup.
