I recently set up my Mi Home Security Camera 360 and shared it with my spouse and older kids. The process was pretty straightforward, but I did face some issues with permissions initially. I didn't realize I had to set them up for each family member, which caused some confusion. Once I figured it out, everything worked smoothly. It's a great way to keep track of things at home, especially when we're away.
Thanks for this guide! I have a quick question: Can I share the camera with multiple family members at once, or do I have to send separate invitations for each person?
