I bought one to try out, mainly to keep an eye on my new puppy around the house. But now I’m considering buying a few more for security purposes in my three flat.
The unit itself is tiny and seems pretty well made, the little articulated arm with a magnetic base is a nice touch that makes it pretty easy to put where you want it out of the box. I’ve run this off a rechargeable battery without issue, though primarily use it with the included wall plug.
The picture quality is pretty good, in full light or night vision. I’m more impressed by the night vision, it is surprisingly clear and detailed. Yes, it’s not great overall, and you’ll see some significant smearing if there’s a lot of action in the field of view, but it’s more than sufficient for basic security purposes, and it’s just a trade off for being able to pull up the feed quickly and store clips efficiently.
I didn’t even realize the camera had a microsd card slot, so I haven’t tried using that yet, but will soon! I also haven’t tried out the two-way-audio feature.
Of course, this camera leverages HomeKit Secure Video, so the software is by Apple and is all very good. Pulling up a video feed on my Apple TV or Apple Watch is a neat trick, and very useful. The camera itself responds quickly to the software.
The camera and HomeKit seem to do a good job recognizing motion, animals, and people. I usually have this pointed at my dog’s crate while she sleeps, and it will make a new clip whenever she changes position during the night, or if one of the cats appears in frame.
I really can’t find fault with this thing. You can’t do better in this price range for a HomeKit camera, I hope they make a weather proof, and battery or solar powered option soon!
So as a homekit camera, it's fine. I can't really complain or sing praises because the functionality is really dictated by Apple. But it's double use as a hub has proven to be pretty useful. I have the camera away from most of my other devices and hubs, so it could be useful where it is. I picked up the Aqara door sensor at the same time that needed an Aqara hub. It is very responsive, but it is also pretty close to the camera. I later picked up an Aqara light switch which is farther away from the camera/hub, and it works perfectly. These 3 are my first Aqara purchases and they work flawlessly. I've had a couple of instances where the door sensor delayed for a couple of seconds, but all other times (hundreds), it has worked instantly. I don't use the Aqara app at all and control everything through the homekit app. It's a little strange that the items aren't discovered as individual, stand alone devices, but the app shows them all as their own device. This makes sense since the hub is actually discovering them all.
Aqara is moving up on my list of "good" homekit brands. It's nice to know there are other reliable ones out there besides Lutron. Aqara is better priced so it's a realistic option now. I'm starting to find that hub requiring devices are far more reliable than wifi devices. Requiring a hub is definitely a plus in my eyes, but with that, the hubs need to have a variety of compatible devices. Aqara is starting to move up on my list.
I bought this because the price point is ⅓ the price of other HSV cameras. It replaced a Logi Circle 2 which was almost $200 and died after a year and a half of use and the company stated it was out of warranty and there’s nothing they could do (hardware error on their end). So there was no way I would be giving them my business again.
Initial impressions:
- FAST SETUP. A big selling point for this camera for me was that you DO NOT have to download their app to get it connected to HSV. Originally I was going to get a different brand but after hearing their shady app practices decided to spend the extra $15 and get this one. Easy scan code on the bottom of the camera to setup. If it doesn’t connect quickly you can reset it quickly as well.
- Field of Vision: I feel like this camera has a better field of vision than the Logi Circle as well. I can see my entire parking lot I have it facing.
- HomeKit automations: A really important feature I wanted was be able to see live view in the Home app to manage all my cameras. This does just that. You can fence off motion zones so you only get recordings for what you need. Additionally, this acts as a motion sensor which in combination with automations is the dream team. This is what I set up: Motion detected between the hours of 1 a.m. - 6 a.m. turn on the lights in the room for 5 minutes. Great to deter burglars and make them think their motion triggered you to wake up!!
- Bonus: uses a standard USB dongle vs. a bulky power plug. Also you can plug in a memory card for backing up footage.

Overall, these cameras offer great value for the money. They have lots of features in the native Aqara app if you are so inclined to use it. They are easy to configure, and have worked for me in Apple HomeKit with HomeKit Secure Video flawlessly which is the sole reason I’ve been buying into the Aqara family. If buying for use with HomeKit, note that functionality is reduced when using with HomeKit which is a limitation of the Home app rather than the camera or the Aqara app itself.
As I said, I have 5 of the G2H. From Aqara I also own 3 of the G3 camera hubs, 8 contact sensors with 2 more on the way, 4 water leak sensors, 2 motion sensors, and 1 temperature sensor. All of these products work perfectly for my applications (again, bought solely for use with Apple’s HomeKit). The ONLY issue I would note is that for the first time with any of these products, the G2H that arrived today appears to have been an open box. The usual plastic wrapping over the camera had been stuffed back in the box, and most disappointingly the 3M adhesive and magnetic plate were not in the box. Despite this, I had no issues with setup, and this doesn’t discourage me from buying Aqara again - though I’d love it if they would send me some extra 3M adhesives and metal plates for mounting.
