Excellent Apple Home Secure Video camera (HKSV). I got this camera to use in my backyard. I am only using it with Apple HomeKit. It has been perfect. I was able to set it up and add it to Apple Home right out of the box. The picture is clear and crisp. The colors look good. It doesn’t lag or skip or anything like that. I’ve been happy with it. It is also currently -25 degrees Fahrenheit here and it continues to work brilliantly while my battery operated cameras all shut themselves down. Apple Home is limited to 1080P so the Aqara app would probably look even better. That is a limitation by Apple. Whaddya gonna do? The audio is not great though. It’s a tiny camera with a tinny little mic. That is a non-issue for my use case but if audio is important to you, be aware that the audio is poor. That is very common of cameras this size and pricepoint. I would not want to use it at my front door if I needed to communicate with people. Night vision is OK. Better than I expected but not great. But if you want a solid HomeKit camera to see your yard outside, this is the way to go. Just remember that your experience with this camera is heavily influenced by your Wi-Fi. This is true of all cameras. If you don’t have good Wi-Fi, no camera will work very well. If you plan on mounting it on the side of your house, be aware that you will probably need to purchase a longer power cable, depending on where your power connection is.

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.

For the price these are great HomeKit capable cameras - only issue is they get hot and shutdown if in direct sunlight outdoors if they are shaded no problems - I installed 3 of these 1 in direct south sun - shuts off at 1:00pm due to heat every day usually comes back on around 6:00pm after the sun is off of it usually but sometime it needs a power cycle - the other 2 are in north and east facing exposures and absolutely no problems of any kind great quality for the price - on the south one I have added a matter outlet to power it down at 1:00pm and back on at 5:00pm better solution than just letting it overheat. I even 3d printed a shield for the south one and it still gets to hot - so 4 stars - if you are not using in direct south sun you will have no issues and for you it’s 5 stars - I also have another brand camera facing south in direct sun also - same issue but that camera was 4 times as expensive however my printed shield did work on it - I can live with the heat issue for the price but it is something to consider if just not having a camera on for a few hours a day isn’t a realistic solution for you - this camera is really more for night for me so it works for me. The color night vision is nice their app is actually nice also but in HomeKit these work great. The setup is easy just scan the code and they setup and I’ve had no connectivity or issues of any kind with the other 2 -

Great little camera for the price works well works with Apple HomeKit. I have bought several of them and will buy more if needed.

Set this up in our dog's room so we can check on him while we're out of the house and it has genuinely been one of the best home tech purchases we've made. Video quality is outstanding — easily some of the best I've seen at the consumer level. Clear, sharp, and the 2K resolution actually makes a difference when you're trying to see what your dog is getting into. Setup on mine was completely painless. Bought a second one as a gift for my dad and that one gave us a bit more trouble, but we eventually got it sorted — pretty sure that was his spotty wifi more than anything to do with the camera itself. One thing worth knowing if you're running HomeKit: my wife can't view the feed through the HomeKit interface when she's off our home wifi. She can see it just fine in the Aqara app though. My best guess is this is an HKSV/iCloud+ subscription issue rather than anything wrong with the camera, but it's something to be aware of depending on your setup. Other than that quirk, this thing is a home run. We're already planning to replace all of our cameras with Aqara products. That should tell you everything you need to know.

PROS - Ideal size and practically discreet - Very good resolution when viewed on mobile devices - Precise motion detection - Very clear remote audio - No audio delay or response in conversations - Super clear night vision - The camera's own white light, although intense, is not intrusive - USB cable extensions can be used CONS - No power adapter included - Difficult to find a 1-amp USB-C adapter

Easy to set up and easy to connect to HomeKit! Exactly the two things i needed! Night vision is perfect for inside my garage and the motion detection catches every-time someone opens my garage door. Will definitely be switching to aqara for the rest of my cameras.

I’ve been in the market to find a camera the works with HomeKit Secure Video so I could ditch paying Google for a subscription for their cameras and streamline our smart home apps to just Apple Home. I think I’ve found it. One thing I really wanted was the QR setup against Apple Home so I did not have to use a third party app, which this camera did wonderfully. I just scanned the QR code and a minute later it was added to my Apple Home. The camera itself seems of a good build quality. I’m using it indoors and it blends nicely with where it’s placed. The only negative thing about this camera is it does not come with a charger. You will need to buy one or find a USB C spare charger from around your house. One other nice thing about this camera is their app allows you to do firmware updates and change settings without creating an account. Really need this as Apple Home can’t do the updates. Overall this is handling things great with our home setup. Coming on and off as we leave the house, recording great clips of motion it sees, and through Apple Home starting a library of familiar faces. All at no cost to our iCloud subscription which includes adding 5 cameras. Will definitely be purchasing more of these in the near future.

Wymieniłem dotychczasowe G2H i skończyły się problemy w HomeKit z kamerkami offline. Używam Hubów M2 i M3, więc ich brak w G100 mi nie przeszkadza. Jako kamera zewnętrzna też sprawdza się lepiej niż G6 bo jest mniejsza i dużo tańsza a ponadto ma większy kąt widzenia. Na razie same superlatywy!

Ich habe die Aqara G100 jetzt seit einiger Zeit im Einsatz und bin restlos begeistert. Für diesen Preis liefert sie eine Performance ab, die sich vor deutlich teureren Systemen nicht verstecken muss. **Hier meine wichtigsten Eindrücke:** * **Bildqualität & Nachtsicht:** Die 2K-Auflösung ist gestochen scharf, Gesichter und Details sind perfekt zu erkennen. * **Einrichtung & Konnektivität:** Dank Wi-Fi steht die Verbindung absolut stabil und die Übertragung hat kaum Verzögerung. Ein riesiger Pluspunkt ist, dass die Kamera direkt ins WLAN eingebunden wird – man benötigt also keine zusätzliche Bridge/Hub von Aqara! * **Smarthome-Integration:** Die Einbindung in die gängigen Systeme klappt reibungslos. Sie streamt absolut flüssig (auch die Zwei-Wege-Kommunikation funktioniert super). * **Flexibilität & Speicher:** Da sie nach IP65 wetterfest ist, kann man sie wirklich überall flexibel platzieren. Dass man Videos ganz ohne Abo-Zwang lokal auf einer MicroSD-Karte oder sogar auf einem eigenen NAS-Server speichern kann, ist heutzutage leider keine Selbstverständlichkeit mehr und verdient ein **Fazit:** Klein, unauffällig, wetterfest und vollgepackt mit modernster Technik. Wer eine zuverlässige Sicherheitskamera sucht, die ohne versteckte Abo-Kosten auskommt und sich perfekt ins Smarthome integrieren lässt, macht mit der G100 absolut alles richtig. 5 verdiente Sterne!

Meer dan uitstekende Apple Home compatible Camera met een bijzonder lage prijs!

It’s a real upgrade from tapos c100 with higher resolution(to 2k), HomeKit secure video integration while still being able to connect to nas(via RTSP). The setup was pretty straight forward and I’m able to see the video straight from the Apple Home App (snappiest in my opinion) besides the vendor app and nas. I would recommend this camera.

E' ancora presto ma la telecamera Aqara sembra molto affidabile. Buona la qualità video e abbastanza semplice la configurazione e l'integrazione nella domotica di casa, anche con con HomeKit. Ottima la connessione WiFi. Dopo qualche settimana di utilizzo posso dire che è un buon prodotto, con un buon potenziale e un ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Buona l'estetica.
