Have had it for about 2 weeks now. It’s good. The night vision isn’t that great probably the biggest con but I love not paying a monthly fee and having HomeKit integration. I say go for it. It’s only $99 bucks too
I think it depends on what you are looking for, for me POE wiring is not possible due to wiring issues thus I was stuck using wifi for both models. Also for the image ratio wise I would prefer to have a horizontal view than a vertical view for my corridor shape. (Can view my post to see the difference) Image quality wise I prefer G410 as it seems sharper than the G400 (not sure if it changed through firmware updates) For the red light I prefer G410 as it only lights up when it detects someone on the mm wave sensor. Also based on the waterproofing wise mine is sheltered thus using both models didn’t matter.
I agree, they do seem bulky. In this case for the G4 and G410, there are 4 Aa batteries so the size is largely dependent on that physical perimeter. In the video I show the G400 though (I did a review of that too) this is significantly smaller as it’s a powered device only. It can use wiring or PoE and is actually really good.
Now you’ve mentioned it, I’m seeing the same thing. Recordings on HKSV are crisp and so is the live view through Aqara but the live view through the Home app is worse.
[https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-cloud-gateways/products/udr7](https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-cloud-gateways/products/udr7) plus [https://c3aero.com/products/ubiquiti-unifi-protect-g4-doorbell-pro-uvc-g4-doorbell-pro](https://c3aero.com/products/ubiquiti-unifi-protect-g4-doorbell-pro-uvc-g4-doorbell-pro) Probably the cheapest entrance in to getting a doorbell + appliance to run Protect. 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.
Are you still having issues with the live feed dropping in the home app? I was having that issue as well but it appears to be isolated to my iPhone only. iPad and viewing from Apple TV is fine. No drops. I have a 17 pro with that new n1 WiFi chip. I ended up toggling off WiFi 6e mode on my phone and I was able to keep a live stream going for 6 minutes before I closed it. No drops.
The WiFi 6e toggle is on your iPhone under the WiFi settings, click the little blue I on your ssid to dive further. It’s in there. No the quality is still bad on the iPhone. iPad and Apple TV look as good as the Aqara app. I suspect it could be because the iPhone home app is different from the others. Not sure it’s definitely a weird bug!
