Review: Aqara G4 HomeKit Wireless Video Doorbell
The Aqara G4 is one of the few battery-powered HomeKit secure video doorbells available. I’ve been using it and here’s my take:
Key Features
- Battery operated with AC/DC power adapter option
- HomeKit Secure Video for end-to-end encryption without subscriptions
- Slick, modern design
If you’re after a wireless doorbell that uses Apple Secure video, the Aqara G4 is an affordable choice with no hidden subscription costs and a sleek appearance.
Setup & Performance
The setup was straightforward: simply connect it to your Wi-Fi network via the Aqara Home app, then add it to your HomeKit system. The video quality is clear during day and night, and the chime volume is adjustable.
HomeKit Integration
The G4 integrates well with other HomeKit devices. You can create scenes or automations like triggering a camera recording when someone presses the doorbell.
Verdict
The Aqara G4 is an excellent choice for those seeking a battery-powered, HomeKit-compatible video doorbell. It’s affordable, well-designed, and performs well.
