Forgot to add RTSP support and Home Assistant integration which is the main reason (other than the white color) that I was looking to upgrade my two G4s. No mention if in the G400 but I expect that to be there but not mmWave or the Zigbee/Matter hub

Aqara only has 2 doorbells and 2 door sensors. Doorbells are g4 and g410. G410 is newer, the camera is a little bit nicer than the g4, and it uses a different(significantly more accurate/sensitive) type of sensor for motion detection. It can also act as a hub in case you want to get more stuff in the future. Door sensors also have the "original" and p2. There's no real performance difference i believe, but p2 uses the newer matter over thread communication protocol and can be added to HomeKit directly

Came in here to say this. It’s fantastic.

I really like anything from Aqara. It just seems to work every time. Have their battery powered from door camera and chime - the G4

Maybe every 2 months unfortunately. That is the bummer. But it depends on how much I sue the camera or people turn up and ring the doorbell

Yes G4 for sure. I also have the battery powered version but you can actually hook it up to use power!

For my purposes the G4 on batteries was non viable so it has been hardwired for a long time now and works well. I will upgrade when a 4K model is released.
