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.

But honestly, will be the most expensive in the long run because it's like Pringles. Once you pop... It's honestly a bit of a problem at this point. THAT SAID: [https://www.amazon.com/Aqara-Doorbell-Wireless-Supports-Assistant/dp/B0F6CJF9M9](https://www.amazon.com/Aqara-Doorbell-Wireless-Supports-Assistant/dp/B0F6CJF9M9) < I've been overall very happy with Aqara products so far, and $120 gets you a doorbell with camera that operates with most smart home setups.

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

Later this year according to Shane Whatley’s IFA 2025 video - [https://youtube.com/watch?v=LLt\_vk\_0uSk&t=90](https://youtube.com/watch?v=LLt_vk_0uSk&t=90)

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 bought an Aqara doorbell cam for that reason.

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).
