Title: Great HomeKit Video Doorbell
Review: I recently replaced my Wemo Video Doorbells with this Aqara G4. I could not be more pleased with the upgrade. This review is written after three weeks of continuous use. I have generally found that Aqara devices just work without hassle, hang-up, or mishap out of the box. The G4 Video Doorbell was no different. Wired installation was a breeze (and having batteries installed as a backup is a bonus). The video quality is excellent. Homekit limits you to 1080 but somehow the picture looks obviously more detailed and superior to our prior doorbell cameras. I’d also add that both within Homekit and Aqara’s App, the “load” time for real time video is much quicker compared with the Wemo’s as well as our Eufy indoor cameras. That’s super handy when responding to alerts or doorbells. I wasn’t sure about the internal chime, but after using it a bit I can say they are great. Easy install of a microSD allows you to keep extended recordings locally (Homekit secure video stores video for 7 days). Because the chimes are installed indoors they are not at risk for being stolen. It’s easy to assign different chimes to each doorbell so that we always know which doorbell is ringing. We’re an Apple Homekit home and integration is flawless. Connectivity has been outstanding and we’ve not lost connection once still installation – my Wemo’s would drop at least once a week. Finally, I want to acknowledge that Aqara cleverly safeguarded the security screw that must be loosened in order to change the batteries (not that I will do that often given our wired configuration) – I dropped that screw on my Wemo’s on multiple occasions and it was a real nuisance to find it again. All in all, the Aqara G4 Video Doorbell delivers excellent performance, a great picture, and outstanding integration with Homekit.

Title: Terrible Battery Life, Doesn’t Work Wired
Review: I’ve never written an Amazon review before but felt compelled to warn others from making the same mistake I did. I’m coming up on 6 months of owning this thing and it’s been a frustrating mess of an experience.The doorbell “works” when on battery power, but you lose access to most of the features you’d actually want a smart doorbell for, and critically, you’ll have to budget for all the batteries you’re gonna be buying to keep this thing going. As other reviews note, this thing goes through batteries at a ridiculous pace. It’s 6 AA batteries every time you need to replace them, and even on the most restrictive power saving mode, where the thing is almost just a regular doorbell, it’ll still get nowhere near the advertised battery life.So wiring the thing would solve all problems right? You would think, considering Aqara says it’ll work with just about any transformer, almost any kind of voltage, AC, DC, no problem.Or so they say, it’ll work marvelously for about a week after you wire it, all the functions running and no more low battery spam. Then, it’ll simply just stop working. The doorbell consists of two parts: the actual doorbell, and a chime repeater you place inside the home that the doorbell wirelessly connects to. Some time after you go wired, it’ll stop connecting to the repeater, and the doorbell becomes a useless brick on your front door. The doorbell won’t ring, you won’t receive any alerts, and you can’t access the video feed.Go online and you’ll find hundreds of posts from other owners with the same issue after wiring the doorbell. Contact Aqara support and they’ll give you increasingly ridiculous suggestions to get it working again. Reset the doorbell, not working? Ok turn off night vision, no? Turn off accidental deletion protection, turn off tamper protection, and so on. One of these will magically fix it, which I suspect is merely coincidence, since you’ll get about another week before it’s broken again.Clearly something is wrong when using this thing on wired power, and Aqara either can’t figure it out or refuses to.In short, if you aren’t going to use wired power, and you’re ok with having a monthly battery budget just for your doorbell, then get this. Otherwise, look for a doorbell that actually works like it’s supposed to.

Title: EASY AND SIMPLE to Install
Review: I literally bought the Logitech camera and the pro recommended by them couldn’t even install it. I needed a camera that was compatible with Apple HomeKit and I decided to trust in this and it got delivered that same day. The pros left and I’m literally no pro at all but I’m able to install this all on my own. I love, love, LOVE the camera quality, durability, and the speed of its connection. The chime is really loud so we’re able to hear it. The night vision is also great, which is what we needed to see our cars parked up front. I love the security. I do have a popcorn background so I wasn’t able to use the adhesive, however, the plastic screw anchors really helped as it let it hang off the wall a little bit (meaning hammered it in and screwed the backboard in until it was touching the popcorn walls and laying somewhat flat and straight), meaning it didn’t go all the way in and I used white caulk to seal it as I was afraid of water getting in.It works with popcorn walls using this method. I also really appreciate that the chime doesn’t need to be hooked onto anything! No wiring required! Only gotta plug it into an outlet and you’re good to go!I recommend this for anyone that doesn’t fare well with wiring as this camera and chime both don’t need or require wires (no electrical work needed) and it’s wireless.The connection to the Apple HomeKit was fast and simple!EDIT: After using this for a while, the only downside I’ve noticed is that it sometimes disconnects and takes a while to connect usually within minutes but the longest it’s ever gone while disconnecting from my Apple HomeKit is around an hour to an hour and a half, but whiles it rare, it does still happen.Overall, I STILL do RECOMMEND it!

Review: Relación PRECIO-CALIDAD muy buena. Ha salido ya la versión mas moderna (creo que la G410) pero ésta ahora está a buen precio y se ve genial. Muy versátil gracias al funcionamiento mediante pilas (las incluye).Para lo que necesito, no he encontrado nada mejor y funciona genial. Al final he instalado 3 y las he integrado con Apple Home y grabación en mi NAS QNAP y van perfectas! Hacen todo lo que necesito (detección de merodeadores, grabación merodeadores y cuando accionan el timbre, interfono de voz cuando estoy fuera y en casa, etc). Sencilla de configurar. La recomiéndo si no quieres complicarte la vida.

Review: Prima video deurbel voor een prima prijs, incl chime. Installatie zou makkelijk moeten zijn, maar ik liep al vast om als eerste de chime te installeren. De app accepteerde de QR code niet, en handmatig invoeren lukte ook niet. Uiteindelijk is het wel gelukt en werkt hij prima bedraad en zonder abonnement. Ik heb er gelijk een micro SD kaart bij gekocht. En als prime member kreeg ik ook nog een leuke korting.

Review: Excellent video quality, very easy to set up and as it works with both HomeKit and can record to an SD card, it means you don’t need an ongoing subscription unlike other video-doorbells. I choose this over the similar Eufy one as it is compatible with HomeKit secure video, and will be upgraded to support matter. In terms of privacy, all recordings are encrypted before being uploaded to he cloud, so there aren’t the privacy concerns that I had with the Ring or Nest doorbells. The Facial recognition works well, but relies on the data from your Apple Photos app (if using in the Apple ecosystem), so if you don’t have faces labelled in your photos it won’t work with the doorbell. The motion recognition also works well, but if people move past very quickly it will not always wake up in time, but that may be because I have mine battery powered. If it is wired I think it can be more responsive. The motion activation is easy to customise and I have not had any false alerts, and you can also set an activation zone, but I have not tried this. As for the battery life, it is too early to tell. It has dropped to 80% after 2 weeks, but I have been using it a lot more than normal during this time to check it and set it up. Firmware updates automatically install easily and the doorbell rings through my HomePod and through the chime which is fantastic. The night vision is excellent, and although my upstream internet speed is only 1mb/s the live view seems to work well.My only criticism is that the chime, which acts as the hub, needs to be plugged in which limits where it can be placed. I would have preferred if this had a rechargeable battery so it can be more freely placed.UPDATE – on high use settings the batteries lasted 4 months. Based on this they could probably last 6 months in less sensitive settings.

Review: J’écris ce commentaire parce qu’il est temps de changer les piles de ma sonnette après 7 mois.La sonnette fait le travail, tient ses promesses, et est facile à installer.J’avais seulement peur de la batterie : il faut quand même 6 piles, aussi j’ai acheté des piles rechargeables pour éviter d’en consommer trop. Au final, la durée de vie annoncée sur piles de 6 mois est tenue et dépassée : je suis ravi.Pas vraiment de point négatif à partager, je la recommande.
