Software update plan for G410 and G100

Thanks to all users for their continuous feedback and tolerance towards Aqara products. I apologize for any inconvenience caused to users due to some software or hardware bugs. We have identified and fixed some issues, and are currently investigating some unkown issues. We are also evaluating the value and feasibility of some requirements. I provided some progress updates here:

G100

  1. Can’t view the video on Apple Watch issue: This bug has been fixed, and a new firmware will be released within next week.
  2. Offline issues for certain routers: we will make some connection optimizations. Please pay attention to the next firmware update.
  3. The motion detection is not sensitive: We will upgrade a new motion detection model, which will greatly improve sensitivity, but the firmware will be released later.
  4. Video unsmooth in HomeKit (but normal in Aqara Home): reason to be investigated. Usage issues in HomeKit are usually time-consuming and require patience for firmware updates.
  5. Noise occured after connecting to Alexa echo show: It has been confirmed that it was caused by the firmware update of the echo show. We have contacted Amazon but have not received a response yet. However, we have decided to update the camera’s firmware to adapt to the new echo show firmware.

G410

  1. Video can’t be viewed When the doorbell is directly exposed to sunlight: Thank goodness, we have finally gained some insight into this issue. As early as the G4 doorbell era, users have reported this bug. We have been researching for a long time and cannot find the cause, but G410 inherited this defect, which shocked us. We will solve this problem in next firmware.
  2. The infrared LED light does not light up during night vision: this bug resulting in a very dark image, we will fix it in the next firmware.
  3. The brightness of the video is overexposed: In the new firmware, we will open the brightness adjustment feature for users. The brightness can be adjusted separately during the day and night, and the brightness can be suppressed during the day to prevent overexposure of the screen; When other areas are too dark due to wall reflection at night, the brightness can be increased to display details in the dark areas.

Sounds good. Maybe the stability with HomeKit will also improve.

Any idea when the update will be released? Motion sensor indeed needs an update…

Hi all, will there be a fix to the motion sensor of the G410? Not sure if the problem comes from the motion sensor or from the overexposed lighting (front door is on the south side). E.g. someone can come from inside and walk away and the camera will not notice it.

Guys, the new firmware for G410 that fix the sunlight issue is ready, I have recived some friends’ account, anyone else want the pre-testing pls sent me your account and country/region, my email: donie.yu@aqara.com

Updated g410 to 4.3.8 last night. Sunny day today and same issue persists - zero improvement I’m afraid

Same here. I contacted support and they cannot do anything I believe, and if that’s the case next up for me is a refund cause I can’t use a doorbell that works only at night and on cloudy days unfortunately :weary: Still hoping they will fix it but tbh I’m starting to doubt it.

Any update on G100? Performance is still really bad in HomeKit, especially when placed outside

That’s great news, but 4.3.8 for G100 don’t work!
I’m glad to hear it, especially since I’m one of the people who’s been having quite a few issues with the G100 cameras after updating to firmware 4.3.8 a few days ago.

Est-il possible d’avoir des notifications instantanées sur le téléphone lors d’événements? (je suis sur Android)

Actuellement il y a une latence d’environ 5sec

Hi, can someone advise why my G410 night vision video is really bad?

I have this central circular lens issue like the camera is causing feedback on the video.

Is it a setting issue, I’ve tried all kind of video setting changes.
Moved from battery to now using full power supply 24v and still the same.

Thanks

Friend, please provide another night vision picture that contanted no car in front of the doorbell for me to confirm the issue.

I have the same problems.

It’s the same without the car there.
You can see someone else has same issue.

Hope it’s software related and not hardware?

Im still having problems with the ringer being delayed when the doorbell is pushed,

Recording to the sd card is also not taking place every time when linger is detected

Using a 410 running latest firmware, signal strength is sitting at full however running on batteries (these show full as well)

Don’t understand how the Aqara Camera G5 Pro has brilliant color night vision,
Yet this doorbell’s night video is shockingly bad.
