Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410

Great so far! Set up was a bit confusing but everything flowed once it connected. Also works well with HomeKit which is exactly what I was looking for. Video quality is good, motion detection is quick, had to set it to 2 second delay or else it sends notifications with the slightest movement. The fact that it has the option to either use the adhesive or screws is a plus. Only cons are it’s a bit on the bulkier side, also the amount of batteries it uses. Haven’t used this much AA batteries in one device since the Game Gear or those remote control cars from Radio Shack! Other than that over it’s pretty decent.

This is my first smart doorbell and I was admittedly a bit anxious about the setup, but it was actually really easy. I didn’t need to drill to insert the mounting brackets - was just able to use the screws directly into the wooden frame of my door and it stayed secure. It lit up right away going off the existing doorbell wiring from my home. The Aqara Home app was a pretty straightforward step-by-step setup process to get everything online and updated. It also support 5GHz WiFi out of the box, so didn’t need to force my mesh network to 2.4GHz or anything like that.

Feature wise, it ticked all the boxes for me which is why I went with this one. The biggest reason is that it has true Apple HomeKit integration with HomeKit Secure Video (so I won’t feel the need to add yet another subscription to my growing list of subscription services), resolution greater than 1080p, facial recognition is a plus.

So far it has been reliable. Was able to define the “alert area” in Apple Home and haven’t gotten any false alerts. Also haven’t gotten any “overheating” alerts so far (we’ve had 90-100°F days). Firmware was easy to update in the Aqara Home app, but did have some hiccups adding to Apple Home initially - might have just been my network or a timing issue with the hub still booting up after the update, as it did eventually work after retrying a few times.

Only minor gripe is that it doesn’t work with an existing chime and the Aqara chime hub is mandatory/needs to be placed close to the doorbell for a strong signal. Not a big deal though - the chime is loud and you can adjust the volume and tone with three default options or your own custom sounds.

I got the Aqara G410 mainly for its sharp 2K camera and native HomeKit Secure Video support, and so far it’s lived up to expectations in those areas. The video is crisp and detailed, with a decent field of view, and two-way audio works well. Integration with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Assistant, and Home Assistant is solid; everything connected without much hassle.

The standout feature is the built-in Matter and Zigbee hub. You don’t need an extra bridge to connect other Aqara devices, which simplifies things if you're building around their ecosystem. That said, unless you already have other Aqara gear, the built-in hub won’t add much on its own.

Motion detection is more accurate than with basic PIR sensors thanks to mmWave, but if you're using Apple HomeKit exclusively, you're still limited by its pixel-based detection. For more advanced automation, you'll need to run through the Aqara app. The battery life is mediocre.

Installation was straightforward, though the security screw placement could be an issue depending on where you mount it. Also worth noting: HDR is missing, so bright skies tend to blow out, and there's no free Aqara cloud storage anymore—just local (via microSD) or iCloud.

Still, for a HomeKit-compatible doorbell with great image quality and solid smart home integration, the G410 is a compelling pick, especially if you get it at a discount. Just don’t expect miracles from the mmWave sensor unless you go all-in on Aqara’s platform.

Estoy gratamente sorprendido con este timbre inteligente de Aqara. La calidad de imagen es excelente, con resolución 2K y una relación de aspecto 4:3 que da una buena vista vertical de la puerta. La detección de movimiento mediante radar mmWave funciona mucho mejor que otros sistemas que he probado; evita falsas alarmas por mascotas o sombras, y capta bien la presencia de personas reales. Además, graba directamente en tarjeta SD (no incluida), lo cual es un plus si no quieres depender solo de la nube.

El timbre funciona como hub para otros dispositivos Zigbee y Thread, así que me ha simplificado mucho la integración con mi domótica. Es compatible con HomeKit Secure Video, Alexa, Google y Home Assistant, lo que lo hace muy versátil. Lo tengo conectado por WiFi (soporta tanto 2.4 como 5GHz) y la señal llega bien, aunque el timbre se monta dentro de casa, lo cual ayuda con la conectividad. También trae las pilas incluidas para el modo inalámbrico, algo que se agradece.

Otra función interesante es el reconocimiento facial local: puedes configurar automatizaciones diferentes dependiendo de quién se acerque a la puerta. Incluso puedes cambiar la voz al hablar con desconocidos o configurar respuestas automáticas desde la app Aqara. En definitiva, un producto completo, seguro, bien diseñado y con una buena relación calidad-precio. Lo recomiendo si buscas un timbre inteligente avanzado y fiable.

De vorige Aqara doorbell beviel me al; deze is echt toch weer een aanzienlijk verbetering. Signalering, verbinding over twee frequenties, en vooral de beeldhoek! Integratie in woning is erg makkelijk en prettig

Très satisfait de cette sonnette Aqara G410. Dès l’unboxing, on sent qu’on est sur un produit de qualité : la finition est propre, les matériaux solides, et l’esthétique moderne (même si un peu grande par rapport à d'autres modèles).

📦 Installation : plusieurs méthodes de pose sont proposées (vis ou 3M), ce qui facilite l’intégration selon les contraintes de la porte ou du mur. On peut l’installer en filaire ou sur batterie, ce qui est très pratique. Dommage toutefois que ce soit des piles et non une batterie rechargeable.

📱 Configuration : l’appairage est simple et rapide, que ce soit via l’app Aqara, HomeKit ou Home Assistant (via le HomeKit Bridge, car très peu d'informations via une installation directe dans HA, ça viendra peut-être avec une MAJ). Aucun souci à signaler, tout a fonctionné du premier coup.

🎥 Qualité vidéo et audio : excellente surprise. L’image est nette de jour comme de nuit (la vision nocturne est efficace), le son est clair dans les deux sens. L’angle de vision est large, et on peut heureusement masquer certaines zones pour respecter la vie privée (ex. : éviter de filmer la rue).

🔔 Performances : les notifications arrivent quasi instantanément (1 seconde environ après appui sur la sonnette), et la détection intelligente repère les personnes qui restent un peu trop longtemps devant la porte, ce qui peut être rassurant.

☁️ À savoir : certaines fonctions avancées (comme les événements Aqara ou le stockage cloud) nécessitent un abonnement. Ce n’est pas indispensable, mais à prendre en compte. L'autre option étant de stocker les flux vidéos sur une carte SD ou un NAS.

I debated whether to upgrade from the G4 video doorbell. It was working well, but I wanted a wider viewing angle and decided to give the 410 a try. I have no regrets! The enhancement to the viewing angles along with the higher resolution are amazing and well worth the cost. Bonus, this unit slid right into the older model’s mounting bracket so my installation was super simple. Running on the electrical for the builder doorbell with no issues. Connection to HomeKit was seamless and easy. Now, the feature I didn’t know I needed… presence sensor to detect when someone is approaching or lingering at the door area. Face detection works well, too. I don’t think you will regret upgrading from the G4 OR buying the G410 as your video doorbell.

Il video-campanello è davvero facile da installare grazie alla possibilità di installare tutto in wireless senza necessità di cablaggi elettrici. Opzione comunque possibile grazie ai morsetti di alimentazione che permettono di evitare l'uso di pile (incluse).

Facile installazione dell'app e buona qualità audio/video. Anche la suoneria del cicalino fisico è molto forte e si percepisce in tutta casa. Ha comunque la possibilità di essere regolata e settare delle fasce orarie di quiete.

Se combinata con lo smartlooker permette anche di aprire la porta di casa da remoto (a patto che la chiave sia compatibile, creando un sistema degli accessi completamente domotico).

Peccato che non abbia la funzione di attivazione relè per aprire un cancelletto pedonale, sarebbe bastato davvero poco per renderlo anche un ottimo citofono esterno oltre che un semplice campanello smart.

Ottimo prodotto comunque se abitate in condominio.
