As its name suggests, the Aqara Camera Hub G2H is more than just a HomeKit Secure Video-enabled camera with an integrated Zigbee radio that allows it to act as a wireless hub. Hub capabilities mean that you can pair Aqara's incredibly affordable sensors, and with an onboard siren, you can use this 1080p camera as a DIY home security system.

Go Pro
Aqara Security Camera Hub Indoor G2H Pro
Aqara's upgraded Camera Hub G2H Pro adds full HomeKit alarm integration, additional storage options, and support for more voice assistants to an already feature-packed security essential. The G2H Pro also has a slightly wider — 146-degree field of view, and it retains the same Zigbee 3.0 smart hub functionality, so you can pair Aqara accessories directly to it with ease.
Loaded with extras
Aqara 2K Security Indoor Camera Hub G3
Like Aqara's G2H, the Camera Hub G3 supports the ability to act as a Zigbee hub for other Aqara accessories. The G3, however, adds motorized pan and tilt controls, IR blaster capabilities, HomeKit security alarm mode, and advanced Facial and Gesture Recognition technology, all while still being incredibly affordable.

eufyCam 2C 2-Cam Kit, Security Camera Outdoor — White
