If you’re considering adding a camera to your Aqara ecosystem, this video offers some crucial insights that might help you decide.
The Aqara G5 Pro is highlighted for its support of Matter and Thread protocols, acting as a border router, and offering decent night vision and Quad HD resolution. However, the review also points out significant drawbacks, including a problematic app with limited features, a poorly designed mount, and issues with wire management. The reviewer’s candid feedback about their experience, especially regarding integration with Home Assistant and HomeKit, is particularly useful for those deep into the Aqara ecosystem.
