If your Xiaomi Mi Home Security Camera either of the Mijia 360-degree 1080p model, Dafang monitoring, or Xiaofaong camera is not working by having an issue of not connecting to your Android or iPhone smartphone app and not scanning the QR code, then here’s an easy fix for it.
In my case, I experienced the error and problem after resetting the camera and connecting it to the new smartphone. After it, it won’t scan the QR code displayed on my new phone nor it could be manually.
In your case, the cause might be different but with the same problem of not successfully connecting could be fixed with the following easy guide below.
Connecting to 2.4GHz on latest WiFi or wireless router with 5G and 2.4 GHz
The trick is that you need to have the Mi Home Security camera appear automatically on the radar of your Mi Home app. In this case, it will not require you to scan the QR code.
Again, after successfully adding your Mi Home Security camera, just update the application.
For iPhone or any iOS devices from Apple, if the latest app won’t work, you need to use an Android smartphone to add the device into your account. Alternatively, share the added camera on your Android phone to your Mi Home account in iPhone.

Nothing from the article worked, but thanks to everyone who suggested to take a screen shot and send that to a PC or laptop with a bigger screen, that really worked!!!
NGL, thought that was BS, just transferred the screenshot to my 16 inch laptop, put the image in fullscreen without any distracting toolbars or panels on screen held the camera in front of the laptop and moved it around for a couple seconds trying different distances and bam! it said it scanned successfully (in Chinese, I have a mainland Chinese version) .
If nothing else works gives this method a try, maybe even try to print the QR code on piece of paper.

As written in the post, my problem is caused because of iPhone application. So I just logged in to my account from my friends Android phone with latest version of Mi Home app and I set my camera successfully. Device is automatically came to my iPhone app as well.

To solve the problem I used the application “Vysor” in android, with the aim of transmitting the mobile screen to the PC. So with this solution I was able to read the QR code and finish the steps of the camera installation.

CHEPE says:
i love you, wwwashde, thanks.
Benj says:
thanks for this! nahirapan talaga ako mag scan using QR code
st says:
like wwwashde said – if you’re iphone user – send the screenshot of the QR code to laptop and scan from there. it worked for me too. just keep tilting the camera angle and it will scan in few seconds this way.
wwwashde says:
Take a screenshot of the qr code.
Then, send it to your computer (email, telegram, discord, …)
Finally, open the picture wiiiide on your computer.
I had been waiting for 1 hour, trying anything, searching on the web, finding nothing.
I was doing this in order to print it on paper.
It worked within a second – litterally.
