Every smart home we stock, ordered by how little there is to warn you about. Each product's recorded drawbacks are listed on its page, so the ranking can be checked rather than taken on trust.
Xiaomi Smart Camera C400 2.5K Indoor Pan and Tilt with AI Detection, with 3 recorded drawbacks against it. Dual-band Wi-Fi and NAS recording are what separate this from the Rs3,000 tier.

Dual-band Wi-Fi and NAS recording are what separate this from the Rs3,000 tier. The 5 GHz radio matters because a 2.5K stream on a congested 2.4 GHz band in an apartment block is where most cheap cameras visibly stutter, and SMB recording to a NAS means footage lands somewhere you control rather than on a card that walks out with the camera.
The specification worth reading is the one about subscriptions. This records to a microSD card you own, with no monthly fee and no requirement to keep paying to retain footage -- unlike most of the imported cameras in this catalogue, where the recording is the subscription. Qubo is a Hero Group brand with Indian service, which matters more for a camera than for most categories.
