Shanghai Imilab Technology Co., Ltd. — 4 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Shanghai Imilab Technology is registered to MAC prefix
60:7E:A4and 3 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with60:7E:A4, that block was registered by Shanghai Imilab Technology — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- A globally-administered IMILAB prefix identifies genuine IMILAB consumer hardware (most likely a Wi-Fi camera); apply standard China-cloud / default-credential considerations for consumer IP cameras.
About this vendor.
Shanghai Imilab Technology Co., Ltd. — branded IMILAB — is a Shanghai-based Chinese consumer-IoT company founded in 2014, holding four IEEE MA-L OUI blocks (60:7E:A4, 78:DF:72, 94:F8:27, B8:88:80), all registered to the registry address at the New Caohejing International Business Center in Xuhui District, Shanghai. IMILAB is an independent company rather than a Xiaomi subsidiary: Xiaomi is an early angel investor and minority shareholder (~8.52%), Fortune Capital holds ~4.25%, and IMILAB is one of Xiaomi's earliest "ecological chain" partners — its devices integrate with the Xiaomi Mi Home (Mihome) ecosystem and Alibaba's Aliyun AIoT platform alongside IMILAB's own app. The product line is dominated by Wi-Fi-connected IP security cameras (indoor and outdoor), with video doorbells, smart door peepholes, smart watches, and robotic vacuum cleaners filling out the catalog; cameras accounted for roughly 79% of revenue across 2019–2021. Devices connect over 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n/ac/ax). For network classification, any of the four globally-administered IMILAB prefixes on a device reliably identifies IMILAB consumer hardware — most likely a camera. No IMILAB-specific CVEs were found in this pass; the relevant risk posture is the standard consumer-IP-camera profile (cloud video routing through vendor/Mi Home servers, default-credential exposure, no published independent audit), with a local microSD/NAS storage option offered as a privacy-preserving alternative. As with all MAC/OUI entries, IEEE publishes no assignment dates for these blocks — any "date registered" shown on third-party MAC-lookup sites is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact, and is deliberately left null here.
- IEEE assignment
- 4 prefixes → Shanghai Imilab Technology Co.,Ltd, registered Shanghai, CN [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L (lines 1167, 8052, 24428, 38711)
- Registry / block size
- MA-L (24-bit OUI); holds 4 IEEE prefixes; no MA-M or MA-S entries [Confirmed] — IEEE MA-L; the IEEE MA-M registry / the IEEE MA-S registry have zero entries for this org. NOTE: IEEE's public OUI data publishes NO assignment/registration date; any "date registered" on third-party tools (e.g. maclookup.app) is a database artifact, not an IEEE fact.
