Aqara - Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired)

I’ve had a great experience so far with my Aqara G400. Some folks seem to have trouble with it but they generally use it powered by batteries. I’ve got it hooked up to the mains and it’s been rock solid for me.

Same. I made my Reolink doorbell HKSV compatible via Scrypted, but the Reolink randomly croaked this week. Decided to try the G410 cause of native HKSV, but now the G400 seems like a more reliable option, even though it's a lower model? Who the heck makes a doorbell that's not fully weather resistant? I want an HKSV doorbell that works with my existing doorbell wiring that is reliable. That's it. Maybe Apple will make one eventually.

It says it has rtsp streams so you could record directly to an NVR. I’m just hoping it supports onvif so I can add it to Unifi Protect

Mine looks like it was produced yesterday and it’s been out in the weather for years now.

hopefully it’s a drop-in replacement to my hard-wired G400

Yeah it looks fantastic! Portrait aspect ratio makes total sense on a doorbell, I’m glad Aqara have finally come to their senses! I’ll be replacing my G4 with this. Yeah I doubt it works with existing chimes. It seems like it’ll come with a chime but I’d imagine it’ll be a simple speaker unlike the G4 and G410 chime which is where a lot of the processing is done for those doorbells. https://preview.redd.it/z4wl7hurd6nf1.jpeg?width=397&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c5afa0e07a39c28b2e7c8271521263a16cd4a77

Same here. I have these on two doors that face south and bake in the afternoon sun. Bought one in July 2023 and the other last year because my Aqara kept disconnecting.

I'm with you, hardwired to a transformer and I've really liked it (only had it for three weeks). It's worked great. I thought about the Ecobee camera but when I saw it had a subscription, I decided to pass (even though I really love my Ecobee Premium thermostat).

does the unifi doorbell stuff pop up on Apple TV? we are doing a remodel and going to be adding their wifi and cameras, was considering their doorbell but wasn't sure if it did this, and we loved it with our aqara we had before

My house was built in the 70s. I have apple tv + homepod as the homekit hub. Ecobee for thermostat, Aqara for smart camera doorbell (after trying out Ring and Eufy), Schlag for front door, Meross for garage door, a bunch of hue lights, a mix bag of light switches but slowly transition all to Lutron for reliability. As for camera itself, I still haven't found any good solutions that's reliable, I do have a bunch of Eufy that are not in my homekit. Personally, I wouldn't wait for the next best thing, because there will always be the next best thing, meanwhile I had to wait for the manufactures to catch up.
