Excellent security camera at an excellent price.
I am a big fan of Aqara products because they offer a range of high quality products at reasonable pricing. This camera is a good example, its under 40$ and provides excellent picture quality.I installed this camera outside of my home to replace my old Lorex camera. The main reason was to create an automation that worked with my Aqara Door lock. Anytime the door unlocks, the camera plays a voice recording so anyone outside knows they can enter. This is a perfect setup that works well with my remote button and Google home app.The picture quality is great and there many features that the old Lorex camera didn’t have (Richards more expensive BTW).So far, I am very pleased with this camera and will recommend it to anyone.

Good for the price point
Decent camera for the price. For basic home monitoring it is sufficient and HomeKit integration is convenient. Install and setup was easy. Plenty of features you can’t find on some other options and doesn’t require a subscription for 24/7 recording (with sd card installed).However, WiFi connection says it is poor consistently when viewing local history from SD card through the app even though it has a strong signal. Not a huge issue and doesn’t appear to be gaps in recording but just minor frustration when trying to watch history at times and it is slow to load.Sound out when speaking is fine but incoming sound is easily distorted and gets feedback especially if there are multiple noises taking place.Alerts aren’t always accurate neither through Aqara or HomeKit but that seems to be a common complaint across many cameras.Difficult to find anything better for the price point but some opportunity to improve.Wouldn’t recommend if you have high security concerns but fine for an average residential user that just wants more visibility outside.

Cheap, Super Easy to Set Up, and Good Video Quality
I’ve been buying a bunch of Aqara accessories over the last two months as I’m switching away from the Blink and Wyze platforms. Both of those platforms offered really cheap but good cameras which, sadly, are not really compatible with each other or other smart home systems. I really wanted HomeKit compatibility and that’s where Aqara comes in because I really wanted the capabilities that HomeKit and Shortcuts offer.I grabbed a few of the higher end Aqara cameras (G5 Pro and G3) but didn’t need that functionality everywhere and wanted something price-wise that was similar to the cameras I was replacing. The G100 fit the bill nicely. I have three of them up and they’ve been really good so far. Set up was a breeze.I have one in the garage and another in the backyard which is mainly for watching animals. I’d definitely recommend giving one of these a try if you’re looking for something that’s a bit more affordable than the G5 Pro and the G3 but still has a lot of the same features.Keep in mind that as soon as you add it to HomeKit, the camera will not be in 2K anymore since Apple’s HomeKit restricts the resolution to 1080p so if you want to use the higher resolution, don’t use Apple’s HomeKit – stick with Aqara Home instead.

Avoid if using HKSV and need motion or object detection.
Bought these for the price, HomeKit secure video compatibility and IP65 rating. Setup was easy and initially seemed to work. Image quality is good, and the light gives a nice color image at night if you enable it.However they rarely if ever trigger for motion or person detection and thus are effectively useless for my purposes as HKSV only records triggered events. 3 different cameras all have the same issue in different locations. It’s not WiFi issue as image and connection is fine.In contrast my circle doorbell and tapo C125 cameras work flawlessly. Not sure why it doesn’t work as detection should be run from the Apple TV hub as I understand it, based on the image rather than a specific sensor, but regardless, something is different with these as opposed to other devices and it doesn’t work. Very disappointing. Buyer beware.Should have known better to buy a product immediately on release; now have to take these pieces of junk down and send them back. Live streaming only doesn’t really fit my use case.Unfortunately the c125 is not officially water proof or would just get more of those as they work very well; although placing high under my eaves should keep them dry and at the price they are almost disposable, and I may have to try it.

This camera is fair for its price, has sd card slot, and light, and even motion and human motion detections, the only lacking for me was the zigbee hub functionality, however for this price I don’t complain especially because it is outdoors too.

素人でもWi-Fi環境と電源があればどこにでも簡単に１台から設置できます。本格的なものはHDRがあったりカメラが複数台最初からセットになっていたりで敷居が高いと感じる人もいるでしょう。こちらはHDRは必要なくスマホのアプリで全て管理ができるのでとにかく楽です。使い始めるとホームガーディアンという拡張サービスのおためし版が強制的に始まります。おためし期間終了後はこれに加入しないと使用できる機能が制限されることになりますが、基本的な動体検知・人物検知・クラウドでのイベント再生・SDカードのフル再生・全体のモニタリングなどの機能は普通に使えます。顔検知・動物検知・車両検出・パッケージ検出・火災検知などの便利機能が使えなくなるだけです。小型ながら画質はキレイで暗視機能やライト機能は想像以上の性能だったので、サブスク無しでも十分な機能を発揮してくれています。お試し期間が過ぎてどこまで制限されるのかがよくわからなかったのですが、思った以上の性能で録画と再生と通知ができているので商品価値は価格以上です。とりあえず２台まで増やしていますが、今後あと２台追加する予定でいます。

Got this for use on my driveway to see when packages/people were coming. Have it working HomeKit secure video so the feed pops up on our Apple TV when someone is there. Works well and easy to setup. With matter announcing video camera support, hopefully that will make Apple update apple home to utilize the full resolution of the camera within the home app. It’s nice to have a reliable and inexpensive outdoor HomeKit camera. You do need an Aqara hub, but you can get one fairly cheap if you don’t already have one.
