4MP Camera Hub G5 Pro WiFi, True Color Night Vision Security Camera | 2.4/5Ghz WiFi, HomeKit Secure Video, Thread Border Router, Local Detection,Thread/Zigbee, Supports Alexa,Google Home, Outdoor

I’ve used most of the major camera brands over the years, and this is the best one I’ve found if you want HomeKit support, continuous recording to a NAS (I use UGREEN), and no forced cloud subscription. I currently have 9 of these installed, and all of them have been working very well. That alone says a lot, because if there were reliability issues, I definitely would have noticed by now. The picture quality is excellent, and the color night vision sensor gives very clear video at night. The spotlight is also super bright, and I like that you can schedule the indicator light on or off, which is a nice feature that not every brand offers. Another thing I’ve been happy with is how well they seem to hold up in Texas weather. The color and finish still look good, and the dual-channel Wi-Fi has helped keep them stable and reliable. I’ve also seen some complaints about the mount design, but I actually think it was designed well. It seems clear they prioritized a sturdier mount that holds the camera more firmly and reduces vibration, which I appreciate living in an area that gets major tropical storms and hurricanes. Out of my 9 cameras, only 1 needed a different angle than the standard mount allowed. For that one, I bought two 90-degree brackets and bent them to the angle I wanted, as shown in the picture. That said, I do think offering angled brackets as an accessory would be a smart addition. Overall, these check a lot of boxes that are hard to find in one camera: HomeKit support, continuous NAS recording, no subscription, strong night image quality, and solid reliability. After trying a lot of different brands, this is the one I’ve had the best overall experience with.

I have every camera known to work in the Apple HomeKit environment. I must say that these Aqara cameras, all models including this one, are rarely offline in HomeKit. Eufy, Logitech, Omna, Arlo, etc are offline constantly. Set it to automatic and the “fluent” setting kicks in and keeps your camera online. The picture remains perfectly clear and kicks it down a notch instead of it going offline completely. Other cameras just go offline. Yes you’ll need a hub but even their smart plugs have a built in hub. I use their pan scan cameras indoors and they track my ratties so I know when they’re being bad. They either sync up directly into the HomeKit environment seamlessly or you can go through aqara’s app and it’ll put it in your home environment with a flick of a switch. I opt to go into the app first as it has additional functions that you set up and they run in your apples home environment. Like calibration, animal detection, zero return set, etc. One camera liked to return home in an area that was redundant. I had as able to adjust where the lens returns to home in an area I need camera coverage. Of course if a dog or person walks by, it tracks your movements and sends a notification to your phone if you choose. I very happy with all Aqara products and most impressed with their outdoor security camera. So cool it connected right into the Aqara app then I sent it to Apple home through the Aqara portal. I can highly recommend ALL Aqara products including my new outdoor camera. Their products just work. And I have over 50 smart devices controlled by Apple home with Aqara leading the pack for reliability. Even native Nanoleaf products don’t compare and they’re exclusively made for the apple environment.

I’ve tested a lot of smart home cameras over the years, and the Aqara 4MP Camera Hub G5 Pro WiFi is easily the most impressive HomeKit-compatible cameras I’ve used. The video quality is crystal clear day and night, and the color night vision is surprisingly good. This camera was actually a replacement for three failed Logitech Circle View cameras I previously owned — all of them failed between six months to a year, and I got tired of constantly replacing them. Motion detection is fast and accurate, with smart AI features that can recognize people, packages, pets, and vehicles without constant false alerts. The build quality feels premium, setup was straightforward, and the dual-band WiFi connection has been rock solid. Aqara absolutely nailed this product. If you’re serious about smart home automation and security, this camera is worth every penny. Highly recommended!

Great quality, connects easily. Hub, motion detection is flawless. Lights work great, Claudio quality is nice. Excellent value compared to cheaper Aqara cameras. I have 3 models. No battery, needs to be powered. this is the best one.

First off, the camera performs very well. Color images even in darkness is really exceptional. Fully impressed with the electronics. Unimpressed that I have to figure out a robust mount and power supply. The usb plug on the back seems doomed to early failure in a wet and sometimes frozen outdoor space. In this regard, it seems more like an indoor toy and not an outdoor security solution. I moved away from Ring because I am trying to step away from cloud subscription services. Feeling some remorse as the outdoor Ring products I have been decommissioning have indeed been able to withstand the elements with waterproof connectors and mounts that have some heft.

I have 2 of the POE cameras install on both ends of my garage. They work so fast. The POE is basically instantaneous. The video quality it captures is very good and clear. The audio is very good. I use the microphone feature often with my kids and they can hear me talking through the camera very well. The field of video is very good. I get great coverage of my yard and driveway. They look great at night. Both of my pictures are at 9pm and it looks bright out. Worth the money.

Doesn’t hold charge at all for outdoor use. Would work well for indoor camera with continuous usb c charging. It does heat up with that though. If you can I would suggest PoE camera and use a PoE switch. That’s what I will be using after my refund. As for the app and functionality it’s great! I use a lot of Aqara products and integrate into Apple home. It’s one of the easier products for Apple home. Works will with the apple one subscription with the 2 tb cloud storage.

Great camera! I also bought the doorbell. Got rid of the other brands i had. Going to have these take over control of my home security. The battery life is great, or you can keep it plugged in as long as (the plug) is in safe, dry area. The field of view is great and the night vision looks like day! It’s simple to use and is and great value for the money!

J’utilise beaucoup d’objets connectés avec Apple Home, et cette Aqara Camera G5 est une excellente surprise. L’installation est rapide et sans prise de tête, la qualité d’image est très bonne, et la vision nocturne en couleurs est franchement bluffante. J’avais auparavant une caméra Eve Outdoor Cam, incapable de garder une connexion Wi-Fi malgré toutes les configurations possibles. Ici, c’est le jour et la nuit : la caméra répond constamment, et le signal Wi-Fi est stable (merci le 5 GHz). Elle est bien intégrée à HomeKit Secure Video, et une fois ajoutée dans l’app Maison, elle propose aussi un système de sécurité avec quatre modes (Absent, Nuit, Maison, Désactivé) qui se synchronise parfaitement avec celui de mon hub Aqara M3 (pas de doublon donc, les états se synchronisent). Cerise sur le gâteau : la caméra agit également comme un hub Matter et un routeur de bordure Thread, ce qui permet non seulement de centraliser mais aussi d’améliorer la stabilité de mon réseau domotique. Le seul point un peu décevant reste la puissance du projecteur intégré, moins performante que celui de l’Eve Outdoor Cam — mais c’est bien le seul défaut que je lui trouve. Points positifs : • Installation simple et rapide • Image de bonne qualité avec vision nocturne en couleurs impressionnante • Connexion Wi-Fi stable en 5 GHz (fiable, contrairement à l’Eve Outdoor Cam) • Compatible HomeKit Secure Video • Système de sécurité intégré (Absent, Nuit, Maison, Désactivé) synchronisé avec le hub M3 • Fonctionne aussi comme hub Matter et routeur de bordure Thread Points négatifs : • Puissance du projecteur un peu décevante par rapport à la concurrence Globalement, une caméra très complète et polyvalente, parfaitement adaptée à un environnement Apple Home. Je recommande sans hésiter.

I am committed to Apple HomeKit which makes the choice of outdoor cameras rather limited. I have a couple of Eve cameras, but when this came out I wanted to try it. I am blown away by the image quality and reliability. I use it with WiFi and it never goes offline…unlike the Eve cameras. The image quality is also much better especially the night vision. Super happy and will over time migrate the Eve to this. The only small downside is that it is powered by USB-C which makes it a little challenging when installing on an “in-wall” 220V light mount.

Ich habe mittlerweile 10 Cam‘s am 1-FamHaus installiert. 7 x im Außenbereich und 3x zusätzlich. Die Cam‘s zeichnet sich durch eine sehr einfache Installation und praktische Handhabung aus. Ich finde die verhasste Cloud aus meiner Sicht einer der großen Stärke der Cam. Gerade im Außenbereich wird verlässlich hochgeladen in die Cloud und via Handy jederzeit sicher einsehbar. Das kostet halt. Zusätzlich habe ich sämtliche Fenster mit Kontakten versehen und die Cam’s damit gekoppelt. Das ist eine Mega-Geschichte und kostentechnisch im Rahmen geblieben. Kurze Stichpunkte für Schnellleser: Positiv: - Sehr stabile WLAN Verbindung ( 2,4Ghz) zu den Cam’s möglich. Bei mir ab Terrasse 3-4 Meter in Richtung Garten. - Starkregen im Garten + heftige Schneefälle (auf Ständer gut überstanden) - Sehr gute Bilder am Tag - App erfordert Geduld und man muss sich einarbeiten ist aber machbar. Im Grunde hat sie viele Eigenschaften die benötigt werden. - Nachtsicht klappt am besten mit Strahler, hängend an der Decke. Hier werden sehr gute Ergebnisse erzielt. Im Übergang zur Nacht sind immer noch gute Ergebnisse möglich. Bei Dunkelheit ohne Licht ist das detektieren von Personen nicht möglich, sollte aber jedem klar sein. - Cloud ist unlimitiert, daher alle Cam’s für ein Preis für 12 Monate, find ich super , bei dem Dollar-Kurs ! - Kaum Fehlalarme, die Cam ist sehr sicher einstellbar, einige Kritik kann nur Unwissenheit als Grund haben oder schlecht eingestellt (APP besser studieren und nachträgliche Einstellungen verbessern das Ergebnis ). Kritik: - Nachtsicht mit IR-Strahler beispielsweise bei mir mit Mobotix, nicht vergleichbar. Da kommt die Aqara Cam immer noch nicht ran, sehr schade. - Cloudlösung könnte günstiger sein - Bei hängender Lösung könnte Wasser in die Cam eindringen, da Kabel von unten in die CAM eingesteckt werden. Ich habe diese unter einem Vordach angebaut und noch keine Probleme bezüglich Regen gehabt, muss aber bedacht werden. - Kein Netzteil beigelegt, daher muss für Power gesorgt werden. O,5 Ampere Stecker/Netzteile reicht nicht, Cam startet nicht. - Keine APP für PC aktuell, sehr schade - Weitere Kosten für sep. Netzteile beachten - UBS-C Kabel beispielsweise für Verlegung im Garten schwierig, da Vollgummi/Kabel nur bis 1.8m im Markt verfügbar. - LED-Licht in der Cam leider noch immer nicht per „Timer einstellbar“, warum ist mir ein Rätsel. Es geht nur 1%-100% Helligkeit und ON/Off . Die App könnte mehr bieten ! Fazit: Keine Ausfall bisher bei den Cam`s , super . Wer bei kompletter Dunkelheit überwachen möchte benötigt zwingend Cam’s mit IR-Strahler. Sobald etwas Licht allerdings verfügbar, sind die Bilder Okay bei Nacht. Am Tag gibt es nix zu meckern, top Bilder.

El proveedor entrego el equipo dañado, el cable no sirve y estaba abierto

Como todos los productos de Aqara, fantástico. Me encanta esta cámara, se instala fácil y tiene muchisimas funcionalidades a demás de ser un Hub donde conectar otros accesorios de la marca. Llevo tiempo con ella en el exterior y no he tenido ningún problema. Excelente!
