Fails in warm weather – HomeKit is awesome though!
Although there’s a lot to like about this doorbell camera including the fact that it requires no subscription, plays nice with Apple HomeKit, and can use batteries instead of a wired connection, it suffers from a fatal flaw if you live in a hot area. In hot temperatures (or even just very warm weather) it will shut itself off during the hottest part of the day.I had the prior version of this device and upgraded for the improved picture and hoped it would reduce the lag that I experienced sometimes with video. More than anything, I had hoped that Aqara would have improved its ability to handle hot weather. The picture is better with a wider angle, but lag is still there but not as bad. Unfortunately, I do think the temperature management is worse. It is currently 88 degrees Fahrenheit and my doorbell just sent a message stating “Device temperature is too high, please check”. We’ve had a mild summer but typically we see temperatures over 100 degrees during the afternoon for about a month. I feel like this device is worse than the last one because I only got notifications that it was shutting off if it was over 98 degrees. Perhaps this isn’t an issue for you if you’re in a cooler climate, but it means my camera stops working for a couple hours each day in the summer. I will say it was still a good upgrade since the wide angle is nice and I could use the existing backing so that made swapping the unit very easy!If Aqara would make a more temperature resistant model, I’d upgrade again since it’s great not having to pay for and ongoing subscription and the HomeKit connection is solid. I also like that there is an option to change our voices over the intercom.

The one I was waiting for, after trying so many others
This doorbell works as advertised, actually better. I have tried Arlo (2 different models), August, MyQ (the worst), Ecobee, Belkin WeMo (2nd worst), Logitech (overheats all day in the summer and goes offline several times a week that sometimes requires a power cycle), and now Aqara.Finally a doorbell designed to respond quickly. All of the others took a minimum of 15 seconds (MyQ was a minimum of 45 seconds and sometimes not at all) to alert my phone and then most of them would not display the video for an additional 15 seconds or longer. Most times the person would have left by the time I was able to interact, so I would just have to go to the door to see who it was if I was home and ignore the doorbell interaction. The Aqara, displays a live video alert on my TV through Apple TV, on my phone, and Mac, so whatever I have access to at the moment, I can react quickly, it’s as close to realtime as you can expect.I have a 1.5Gbs fiber internet connection with a Orbi 970 router located about 10 line of site feet from the front door. So a strong connection to all the doorbells. I could get about 850Gbs on a speed test outside at the doorbell location. Support from all of the previous doorbells often suggested my wifi was the problem until I explained my wifi.Checking online after I discovered each doorbell was underperforming, I discovered I wasn’t alone with the issues I was having. This was why I kept trying new doorbells as they came out. I should have waited until others tried them and reported how they worked, but I was always so frustrated with the current doorbell, that I jumped at the chance to get a “better” one. None were better, until now!You can set alerts to trigger with just motion, before the doorbell is pressed, or if someone is lingering on your porch. The G410 uses mmWave for detection which is much more reliable than standard IR motion detectors and helps avoid false motion alerts created by wind blowing the leaves on the trees and other movement that isn’t a person, animal, car or package.It also offer facial detection and will offer a name on the notification if it recognizes a known individual (you can assign names to faces it detects).It works flawlessly with Apple Home, and is listed to work with the other major players.Installation was a snap. I’m using it direct wired, but you can optionally use batteries if you don’t have a previously wired doorbell.If you’re thinking about another doorbell, beware! I’m just one perspective, but the most important aspect of a video doorbell to me, is the speed the of notification and being able to promptly interact with the person at the door, if they can’t do that, they shouldn’t be on the market.None of the others I’ve tried come close to Aqara G410, it’s in a league of it’s own!!!

super idealny dzwonek

Fonctionne parfaitement même à plusieurs mètres du carillon. intégration HomeKit parfaite (attention HomeKit fera perdre en qualité car il ne prend pas en charge le 4k et dégradera la résolution).Dommage que Aqara ne propose pas son transformateur en France pour le connecter en filiaire !
