Connect to HomeKit without Aqara App

I just bought a new Aqara G100, which is my first Aqara device. I’m trying to connect to HomeKit through the Home app on my iPhone and I keep getting an error that it can’t connect to the network. Am I required to first have the Aqara app installed and connect my camera to that before I can connect to HomeKit?

The camera G100 can be added to homeKit without the Aqara Home app,If you encounter problems when adding camera in HomeKit, here are the steps for checking:

Prompt “Unable to add accessory”. Repeated connection failures have caused error information in the iOS cache to be unresolved. Please restart the iOS device (iPhone or iPad) and reset the camera and try again.
Prompt “Accessory added”. Please restart the iOS device and reset the camera, then manually enter the HomeKit setup code to add the camera.
Prompt “Accessory not found”. Please reset the camera, wait for 3 minutes, and add it again by manually entering the HomeKit setup code.
