Xiaomi Mijia Aqara Smart Ip Camera - Connection Timed Out

[Arus73]

You purchased Chinese products for Mainland only use.. It even states so on the packaging.

Yes I know, but it worked flawlessly for about 9 months until recent updates of the Mi Home app. There was not any firmware update containing a Country ban like with the Yi Ants camera.
Furthermore, the very strange thing is that this camera is a gateway and many devices are connected to it (various sensors) and they all work fine even from outside the camera wifi network. Only the camera cannot be viewed...
Any other experiencing the same issue?

yes but the fact is you purchased a product clearly labeled for MAINLAND CHINA ONLY so that risk was yours to take.

yes you are right, but I have 20+ devices for Mainland China only and all of them work just fine. Anyway this device was never released outside China so I guess that all others who bought it and posted in this thread should face my same problem now, correct?

Yea pretty much... since you have no recourse with the product via Xiaomi you are kind of stuck.

New firmware just released and now I am able again to access the camera from a different wifi network. It sounds like Xiaomi listened to the feedbacks!

Probably because your connection to the Chinese servers cannot be made.

Hi all,
I had the same timeout issue with my new IMILAB EC5, and would like to share my solution.
After I tried all suggest solutions here which didn't help, I tried to connect the camera to a different router - and connection was successful.
So I checked and found that the first router was connected in a Bridge mode to the second router that I succeeded to connect to.
So I canceled the Bridge mode in the first router and changed it to a Dynamic IP mode - and then immediately I've succeeded to connect to this router too.

So make sure the router you are trying to connect to is NOT in a Bridge mode.
