Aqara G100 2K security camera with 140° FOV

This compact security camera captures day and night activity with higher-than-HD resolution and a wide viewing angle, making it suitable for mounting indoors or outdoors to monitor entrances, driveways or living spaces. It combines colour spotlight night vision and infrared illumination to deliver usable footage after dark while offering two-way audio to interact with visitors.

Key Points

The camera records at 2304 × 1296 (3 MP) with a 140° field of view and an f/1.8 wide-angle lens for clearer scenes across a broad area. Night-time recording can use a colour spotlight for visible footage or a 940 nm infrared mode for discreet monitoring, which helps avoid alerting intruders. The unit supports local AI detection for motion and people, and offers cloud-based recognition for faces, pets and packages with a subscription, according to the manufacturer. Connectivity includes modern Wi‑Fi 6 performance together with WPA3 security, although the camera requires a 2.4 GHz connection rather than 5 GHz. For flexible smart home use it works with Apple HomeKit Secure Video, Alexa, Google Assistant and IFTTT, and can stream to third-party systems using RTSP. 📷

Usage Recommendations

Place the camera where the wide 140° view captures the main approach paths to your property while avoiding very close-up angles that can distort faces. For best night-time colour results, position the unit so the spotlight illuminates the scene without shining directly into reflective surfaces. The two-way audio is useful for greeting visitors or deterring unwanted callers, but consider audio privacy and local regulations when recording. Integrate the camera with HomeKit Secure Video for encrypted clips in iCloud, noting that HomeKit limits the stream to 1080p according to the manufacturer and that simultaneous HomeKit connection may reduce resolution in Aqara Home. For event labelling and expanded AI recognition, the cloud HomeGuardian plan is available, though local detection remains functional without a subscription. 🔒.
