Aqara Video Doorbell G4 review

The Aqara G4 is the doorbell to buy if you live in Apple Home. It supports HomeKit Secure Video, so clips can go to iCloud, notifications reach HomePods and the feed pops up on Apple TV, while it can also stream to Alexa and Google smart displays. Face recognition runs on the device and can trigger Welcome Home scenes for each family member. Aqara includes 7 days of cloud storage for event clips without a fee, and a microSD card of up to 512 GB sits inside the indoor chime repeater, out of reach from the door, for 24/7 recording. The chime has a 95 dB speaker and also acts as a Wi-Fi repeater. It runs on batteries or a transformer, with batteries kept as backup. The weaknesses are the 1080p sensor and infrared night vision, both behind the 2K picks here. At $69.99 on Aqara's US store it is good value. We compared documented features and published prices.
