Camera Hub G350: Dual-Lens Clarity and Smart Home Integration
The Camera Hub G350 is Aqara’s first Matter-compatible camera, offering seamless integration with major smart home ecosystems such as Apple Home, Google Home, and Alexa. It eliminates the need for additional apps or complex setups for live viewing, two-way audio, and notification features. The device also supports Home Assistant through RTSP integration and advanced Matter bridge functionality, and can stream video to Google Home, Alexa, and SmartThings-compatible smart displays. For HomeKit Secure Video, an iCloud+ subscription and an Apple Home hub are required.
Key features include:
-
4K x 2.5K Dual Lens: A 4K wide-angle lens provides an overview, while a 2.5K telephoto lens captures fine details, enabling up to 9x hybrid zoom. It delivers bright and sharp images even in low light or motion, with intuitive zoom operations.
-
Local AI for High-Precision Detection and Tracking: The G350 uses local AI to detect people, pets, and six types of sounds (e.g., crying, coughing, barking). Its 360° PTZ control allows smooth tracking across the entire space while maintaining zoom and field of view. It can also execute actions based on gestures like smiles or hand movements. Users can set important areas for automatic patrolling or move to a specific spot with a single tap.
-
Matter Controller and Connectivity: The device functions as a hub for existing Aqara Zigbee devices and can act as a Matter bridge, integrating Aqara Zigbee products into other Matter ecosystems. It supports over 50 Matter devices as a Matter controller. Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz/5GHz), Wi-Fi 6, and WPA3 ensure optimized communication speed and advanced security.
The Camera Hub G350 is available for 22,180 yen (tax included) and can be purchased from Amazon. It is also expected to be available at Rakuten, Yodobashi Camera, and other retailers.
Doorbell Camera G400: Reliable Wired Power and Comprehensive Coverage
The Doorbell Camera G400 is Aqara’s first PoE/wired power-enabled doorbell camera, designed for continuous operation. It supports Wi-Fi 6 and PoE/wired power for stable and clear video of the entrance area.
Key features include:
-
2K 165° Vertical Wide View: With a 3:4 aspect ratio optimized for entrances, it captures visitors from face to packages at their feet in clear 2K resolution. A 940nm infrared LED ensures bright, high-definition recording in darkness, with automatic and manual brightness adjustments.
-
PoE/Low-Voltage Wired Power: PoE compatibility provides power and communication through a single LAN cable, ensuring high stability, reliability, and uptime. It supports 8-24V low-voltage AC/DC wiring for 24/7 continuous operation. (Note: It does not support traditional physical chimes.)
-
Customizable Local Intrusion Detection with AI: Onboard AI performs local motion and human detection, allowing users to create and modify detection areas. Notifications are sent when the doorbell rings, and two-way audio is available via the app even if the doorbell isn’t pressed. Advanced AI cloud detection, such as facial recognition and package detection, is also supported. The Home Guardian plan offers secure cloud storage of recordings for up to 90 days.
-
Seamless Integration with Smart Home Ecosystems: Two-way audio and video monitoring are available via the Apple Home app. HomeKit Secure Video enables privacy-focused video management. Integration with Home Assistant for advanced automation is possible via RTSP/ONVIF, and real-time entrance video can be displayed on Google Home, Alexa, and SmartThings-compatible smart displays. (Note: HomeKit Secure Video requires an iCloud+ plan and an Apple Home hub.)
-
All-Weather and Secure Design: Supports up to 512GB microSD cards for 24-hour continuous recording and time-lapse. Automatic backup and ONVIF compatibility allow flexible integration with NVRs and external systems. IP65 dust and water resistance ensures stable operation in various weather conditions, and an alarm activates upon unauthorized removal for enhanced security. Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz/5GHz), Wi-Fi 6, and WPA3 provide optimized communication and advanced security.
The Doorbell Camera G400 is priced at 15,880 yen (tax included) and is available on Amazon. It is also planned for release at Rakuten, Yodobashi Camera, and other retailers.
