Aqara Smart Doorbell G4

A microSD card is the only thing you'll need to get the full value from this doorbell camera—unless you also want the benefits of Apple's HomeKit Secure Video.

Tons of features ; Broad third-party ecosystem support, HomeKit in particular ; No subscription required (unless you want HomeKit Secure Video)

Very short video recordings—12 second max ; 1080p resolution is relatively low these days ; Many buyers will find it’s not sufficiently weatherized

This video doorbell checks off a lot of boxes, but a couple of glaring oversights relegate it to a second-tier product.

Smart doorbells that work with Apple HomeKit straight out of the box are pretty thin on the ground and almost all of them have drawbacks. The recently released Aqara video doorbell G4 offers a stylish alternative that takes a different approach and...

Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 review: A no-subscription video doorbell with some hiccups

Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 is a jack of all trades, but is it a master of any of them? We spent some time testing it to find out.

Good quality video ; Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Apple HomeKit support ; Free cloud storage, with support for local storage

Bulky design ; Inconsistent motion alerts ; Some connection and reliability issues ; Only IPX3 rated

The Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 offers plenty to like on paper, with wide smart home support, local storage and the biggie - subscription-free usage. However, some connection and reliability quirks, its bulky design plus so-so motion detection do...
