    Great HomeKit Video Doorbell
    I recently replaced my Wemo Video Doorbells with this Aqara G4. I could not be more pleased with the upgrade. This review is written after three weeks of continuous use. I have generally found that Aqara devices just work without hassle, hang-up, or mishap out of the box. The G4 Video Doorbell was no different. Wired installation was a breeze (and having batteries installed as a backup is a bonus). The video quality is excellent. Homekit limits you to 1080 but somehow the picture looks obviously more detailed and superior to our prior doorbell cameras. I’d also add that both within Homekit and Aqara’s App, the “load” time for real time video is much quicker compared with the Wemo’s as well as our Eufy indoor cameras. That’s super handy when responding to alerts or doorbells. I wasn’t sure about the internal chime, but after using it a bit I can say they are great. Easy install of a microSD allows you to keep extended recordings locally (Homekit secure video stores video for 7 days). Because the chimes are installed indoors they are not at risk for being stolen. It’s easy to assign different chimes to each doorbell so that we always know which doorbell is ringing. We’re an Apple Homekit home and integration is flawless. Connectivity has been outstanding and we’ve not lost connection once still installation – my Wemo’s would drop at least once a week. Finally, I want to acknowledge that Aqara cleverly safeguarded the security screw that must be loosened in order to change the batteries (not that I will do that often given our wired configuration) – I dropped that screw on my Wemo’s on multiple occasions and it was a real nuisance to find it again. All in all, the Aqara G4 Video Doorbell delivers excellent performance, a great picture, and outstanding integration with Homekit.

    Works with Homekit, Mediocre Build Quality
    I was looking for a doorbell with Apple HomeKit support, including secure video, and this was one of just a few available options.The device connected to my HomePod easily. (I did have to key in a 6 digit code because the QR code was not detected.) The device refused to “bind”; this may hame something to do with my WiFi security settings and may affect use with the Aqara app, but does not seem to affect operation with HomeKit.The unit picks up power from my existing doorbell wiring but does not activate my old chime. Instead, the sound comes through the Aqara base and my HomePod.The video quality is fine. The jury is still out on the AI features, such as facial recognition and package detection. The intercom feature works as expected.My main complaint is with the build quality. It looks okay but is made of cheap plastic, and the screws don’t go into the plastic easily. I was able to mount it securely, but the screws aren’t as straight as I would like.Overall, I’m reasonably pleased with the purchase, and I’ve bought another unit for my back door.

    Terrible Battery Life, Doesn’t Work Wired
    I’ve never written an Amazon review before but felt compelled to warn others from making the same mistake I did. I’m coming up on 6 months of owning this thing and it’s been a frustrating mess of an experience.The doorbell “works” when on battery power, but you lose access to most of the features you’d actually want a smart doorbell for, and critically, you’ll have to budget for all the batteries you’re gonna be buying to keep this thing going. As other reviews note, this thing goes through batteries at a ridiculous pace. It’s 6 AA batteries every time you need to replace them, and even on the most restrictive power saving mode, where the thing is almost just a regular doorbell, it’ll still get nowhere near the advertised battery life.So wiring the thing would solve all problems right? You would think, considering Aqara says it’ll work with just about any transformer, almost any kind of voltage, AC, DC, no problem.Or so they say, it’ll work marvelously for about a week after you wire it, all the functions running and no more low battery spam. Then, it’ll simply just stop working. The doorbell consists of two parts: the actual doorbell, and a chime repeater you place inside the home that the doorbell wirelessly connects to. Some time after you go wired, it’ll stop connecting to the repeater, and the doorbell becomes a useless brick on your front door. The doorbell won’t ring, you won’t receive any alerts, and you can’t access the video feed.Go online and you’ll find hundreds of posts from other owners with the same issue after wiring the doorbell. Contact Aqara support and they’ll give you increasingly ridiculous suggestions to get it working again. Reset the doorbell, not working? Ok turn off night vision, no? Turn off accidental deletion protection, turn off tamper protection, and so on. One of these will magically fix it, which I suspect is merely coincidence, since you’ll get about another week before it’s broken again.Clearly something is wrong when using this thing on wired power, and Aqara either can’t figure it out or refuses to.In short, if you aren’t going to use wired power, and you’re ok with having a monthly battery budget just for your doorbell, then get this. Otherwise, look for a doorbell that actually works like it’s supposed to.

    I bought two of these, one for the front and rear door. This has been a great little camera which records to a hub that is kept inside the house. I have mine set to record 24/7 and I get about 5-6 weeks of archival footage. Reviewing the video is very simple – basically just drag the timeline and once I stop scrolling it starts playing within a second or so.The “privacy” filter lets you set areas that are blacked out (which are not recorded and do not trigger motion), but it would have been nice if you could have defined motion tracking areas without blacking out areas for recording. This wasn’t really a problem and I only knew of this because I have other cameras that have this ability so I’m missing a feature that I didn’t really need, but as this is software issue, a future update could change this.I love that I can assign any audio recording as a custom “ringtone” to each doorbell. It makes it easy to determine who is at what door, or if you have audio editing skills you could add dogs barking in the background of a ring, etc. For fun, you could get a recording of a doorbell being rapidly pressed for a long while and if you secretly use that, a single press will make anyone at the door seem very rude. lolMy only complaint is the camera slides onto the wall mounting bracket and a single screw holds it in place to keep it from sliding off, except that screw is on the right side of the doorbell/camera. This means if the doorbell is placed just to the left of your door trim, the trim could block your access to that screw. For my one doorbell/camera I could only mount it very close to the door trim so I had to either remove the trim or as I did, I custom made a very tiny angled screw bit to get to the screw. They should have put the screw on the bottom.Update: have had almost a year. Had an SD card for bit it wasn’t camera’s fault. Once replaced it started going again. I use old doorbell power, not batteries so it just works. There are a couple weeks in the year where for 15 minutes a day I get a lot of false messages when the sun is in the perfect spot, so wish android app had a pause notifications for just a few minutes. I have in both front and back doors and both record 24/7. Only issue with units is the backdoor sometimes has a 10 second delay from when you push the button to when it rings. Doesn’t happen on front door. This has been more reliable than any previous doorbell cam and it didn’t require a subscription. Would buy again.

    Integreert prima met homekit, goed te installeren, enige minpuntje is de resolutie van de camera. Dat zou nog beter kunnen cq moeten.

    Funciona perfectamente y con buena calidad de imagen , hay gente que dice que al pulsar el timbre no suena en el aparato exterior, pero eso se puede configurar tal y como me indicaron en el servicio técnico de aqara, con una automatización.

    J’écris ce commentaire parce qu’il est temps de changer les piles de ma sonnette après 7 mois.La sonnette fait le travail, tient ses promesses, et est facile à installer.J’avais seulement peur de la batterie : il faut quand même 6 piles, aussi j’ai acheté des piles rechargeables pour éviter d’en consommer trop. Au final, la durée de vie annoncée sur piles de 6 mois est tenue et dépassée : je suis ravi.Pas vraiment de point négatif à partager, je la recommande.

    Die Aqara G4-Türklingel ist bei mir ein Ersatz für die in die Jahre gekommenen Doorbird D202-Türklingel aus dem Jahr 2015 (NP 549,99€).Die Doorbird Türklingel hat uns in dieser Zeit gute Dienste geleistet, aber die fehlende Integration in Apple Homekit hat mich zu einem Wechsel bewogen.Folgende Kriterien waren mir beim Wechsel wichtig- Preis unter 200€- Apple Homekit Kompatibilität mit Homekit Secure Video- feste Verkabelung möglich- Optisch ansprechendes DesignDiese Kriterien sind meiner Meinung nach erfüllt. Die Verkabelung war relativ einfach (auch wenn ich aufgrund der mir zur Verfügung stehenden Möglichkeiten die Hilfe eines Fachmanns in Anspruch genommen habe).Aufgrund der zuvor in die Fassade eingelassenen Klingel, die zudem deutlich größer war, habe ich ein eigenes passendes Gehäuse im 3D-Druckverfahren angefertigt. Dieses integriert auch ein Nuki Keypad 2.0.Ich habe die Türklingel zunächst zu Testzwecken mit den mitgelieferten Batterien in Betrieb genommen und die verfügbaren Firmware-Updates durchgeführt. Die Einbindung über die Aqara Home App und nativ in Apple Homekit war sehr einfach. In meinem Fall gibt es bereits 8 Homepod minis im Haushalt. Diese habe ich als zusätzliche Gongs in Homekit aktiviert.Nach einigen Tagen im Einsatz (fest verkabelt und ohne Batterien) bin ich einfach nur begeistert. Das Bild ist gestochen scharf und auch bei Dunkelheit super. Bisher keine Abstürze oder Ausfälle. Das Gerät ist immer erreichbar und funktioniert wie vorgesehen. Die Verzögerung bis zum Klingeln der Homepods ist minimal. Sie liegt deutlich unter einer Sekunde. Nach Aussage des Elektrofachmanns sind die meisten schlechten Bewertungen bei der Festverdrahtung wahrscheinlich auf nicht optimale Stromversorgungen zurückzuführen. Ein 8V (AC) Netzteil ist für die Stromversorgung NICHT geeignet (wird häufig bei Altanlagen für den Gong verwendet. Daher ist unter Umständen auch ein Tausch des Netzteils notwendig. Es wird mindestens ein 12-24V AC ODER ein 8-24V DC Netzteil benötigt. In meinem Fall ist ein 15V-Netzteil vorhanden.##### Pro / Contra: #####+ Sehr günstiger Preis (90€ im Dezember 2023)+ Hochwertige Verarbeitung+ Lieferumfang (Winkelplatte, Gong, USB-Kabel)+ Gute Dokumentation+ Einfache Inbetriebnahme+ Sehr gutes Sichtfeld (besonders großes seitliches Sichtfenster)- bisher keineZusammenfassend bin ich einfach begeistert, was man hier für relativ wenig Geld geboten bekommt. Das ist meiner Meinung nach derzeit konkurrenzlos.Ich werde meine Bewertung im Falle von Änderungen anpassen. Wenn die Nutzungsdauer >3 Monate ist, wird ebenfalls eine Aktualisierung vorgenommen.===== UPDATE | 25.02.2024 =====Nach nun mehr als 2 Monaten im Dauereinsatz kann ich berichten, dass unter den korrekten Grundbedingungen keine Ausfälle aufgetreten sind. Ich habe meiner Bewertung im Prinzip nichts hinzuzufügen und bin nach wie vor begeistert.In einer recht aktuellen Rezension (3 Sterne) teilt der Bewerter einen Screenshot mit dem Gerätehinweis “Ein schlechtes Stromsignal beeinträchtigt das Ergebnis”. Dies bestätigt meine Vermutung, dass viele schlechte Bewertungen auf ein ungeeignetes Netzteil zurückzuführen sind.
