Overview
- The Camera Hub G350 launches as an indoor pan-tilt model that also acts as a Zigbee hub, a Matter Controller, and a bridge for connecting Aqara Zigbee accessories to Matter ecosystems.
- Hardware highlights include a dual-lens 4K wide and 2.5K telephoto setup with up to 9× hybrid zoom, 360-degree coverage, AI person and pet tracking, and a physical privacy shutter.
- At release, Matter functionality works only with Samsung SmartThings and early testing shows live view, snapshots, and two-way talk, with pan/tilt controls and recorded video access awaiting firmware and platform updates.
- Aqara’s Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) offers 2K video, a 165-degree field of view, Power-over-Ethernet or standard doorbell wiring with Wi‑Fi 6, and a mix of local and cloud AI detection across major platforms.
- Both devices emphasize local-first privacy with microSD storage up to 512 GB, NAS backup, and end-to-end encrypted cloud options, and are available now at roughly $140 for the G350 and $100 for the G400.
