@Shane Hi Shane, love all your videos. You've helped me in the biggest way to build out my home automation/security system - I recently purchased 2, G2H Pro cameras. I'm curious if you know how I can connect them both to my Apple HomeKit system? I'm able to connect one of the cameras but for some reason I'm not able to connect the other. I'm wondering if its because they're both technically "hubs"? Any help is appreciated.

Hey thanks for the support! No, you are able to connect multiple Aqara hubs to the same homekit home. I have a G2H, G2H Pro, M1S and others all working in the same homekit home with no issues. I'm not sure why you are having trouble getting your camera to connect. If you haven't already, do a factory reset of the camera and try again. In some cases, your network settings may play a roll. Maybe disabling the 5 GHz band and ensuring you are on the 2.4 GHz wifi?

Questions: 1. What is the maximum size SD card that you can use with this camera to store video recordings locally? 2. How many days of recording do you typically get when using continuous recording on the SD card with a card of that size? 3. If you have both the Aqara Hub and this camera, can a child device that is attached to the camera still cause the alarm system to be triggered on the Aqara Hub? 4. What is the difference between HD and Full HD video settings? 5. Would it be possible for you to show a clip showing the difference between "normal" view (which has the fish eye effect) and the "lens correction" view? You mentioned that part of the coverage was eliminated using the "lens correction" view. I would be very interested in seeing exactly what that looks like. Thank you for another very informative video on this camera. I had already watched Rey G's video and ModernDayTech's video on this camera and I still learned a lot of new things about this camera that they didn't cover. But I will say that there videos are very good as well and are definitely worth watching. One thing that Rey G's video showed was how you can record a clip from the SD timeline and save it to your local Photos on your phone. Now that is an awesome feature. Thanks again Shane for all of your quality work and I am looking forward to your next video.

Hi, Frederick. I bought a G2H and i think i can help you with some of your questions. 1 - They say that the maximim size supported by Aqara G2H is 32GB (I never tried to use a 64 GB in it). 2 - With the continuous recording on a 32 GB Micro SD i can record up to 5 days (24h/day) of content. 3 - I don't use a Aqara Hub. 4 - The HD and Full HD reflect on the data that you'll be using to stream the video. 5 - You lost about 5%/10% on each edge/extremity of the recording area. It's not that much, but it's nice to be able to choose if you want to use the fish eye vision or the "natural, but a little bit cutted vision".

Is there a way to automatically arm and disarm the camera when leaving the house? I do have a door Aqara sensor as well. 2. I created a password for live viewing the camera. Does this only work for the device I set it up with or the password will be asked from any device that tries to access the camera? 3. I’m using an SD card inserted in the bottom of the camera. Usually, the live view shows a solid dark blue for the period in which the camera is on. But sometimes the solid blue line changes to a series of vertical bars. What does this mean? Thank you,

Hi Shane. Great video. I live in China and have been using this camera for about a month now I think. There are one thing I've noticed when setting the days and times for activity recording. For some reason it will actually record on the next day. Like I set it to record on Mon, Wed and Fridays. However it will record on the Tue, Thurs and Saturdays. Not sure if it is just for me. Curious if you have seen this? (This is in the Aqara app) Then in Homekit, for the life of me I cannot get it to start recording when I'm away. It uses my Iphone as the away device but it just never records, even if all the settings seem to be correct. Set to record on activity detection etc. Is there something I'm possibly missing? Would highly appreciate any help. Thanks. And I just want to thank you for all your vids man. If it wasn't for you I would not have understood most things Homekit related.

That's correct, you just won't get many of the extra features you get from the Aqara app if you use only with HomeKit. Hard to choose between those two because they are so different (and both very good imo). For Homekit Secure Video only, and you are not worried about anything else, I'd probably go with Circle View... it's just simple and works really well with HomeKit. Also, if you ever want to use it outdoors, then of course Circle View. But if you like some of those extra features from Aqara, local storage, and if you ever want to use it as an Aqara Hub, then the G2H is a great product. They are both good and have a place... just depends on what you are looking for.

I'm not sure I'd be comfortable doing that, but you can if you want to. I'm sure a lot would ride on your typical weather conditions and climate.

Does the aqara camera need an apple hub to be able to stream with a data connection in home app?

Yes, you need a HomeKit hub for remote access to cameras in the Home app.

Do you think this camera will work for me. I currently only have DSL downloads of 3.5-5mbps and uploads approximately .25mbps. For now I am only concerned with the live video. I will probably have access to fiber optics between 6-12 months.

Hmm...I’m not sure about those speeds. I’d imagine if you can stream video, like Netflix, you’d probably be ok. But if you have trouble with that, you will probably have issues with this. Should be good to go once you get that fiber.

Hi Shane, do you know if the hub function allow it to work with Google Assistant? I have Google Nest WiFi, I would like to connect the Camera’s hub function to Google Assistant, so that I can control it using my Google Nest WiFi. Thanks

Hi Shane ! great job!! Question? Can I turn off night vision thru the app? (sorry your video said a big YES ! ) This way the IR light does not create a glare .. Also can I turn off audio thru the app as an admin and allow guest users to monitor and get notifications but not touch the settings? .. Eufy allows me to do this, because I wish to face the camera out my window which is well lit at night. Thanks again

Thanks for watching! Not sure about adding other family members/users in the Aqara app. I have not experimented with that. I do know in the home app, when using homekit, you can add family members and choose whether or not they can “add and edit accessories to all the devices in your home.”

hey Shane. Do you know if its possible to set up the G2H camera and Aqara alarm system (hub), so that if the alarm is on, and the cameras detects motion you get notified? Either in the Aqara or Home app?

Yes, you should be able to set that up in the Aqara app.

This looks great. Is it possible to distinguish between the Chinese version and the others? I can see this on Amazon for UK and Germany but wonder if they are the Chinese ones as you said launch in Europe is later. Thanks.
@ShaneCreates

It is hard to tell. I'd say if the packaging is in Chinese then it's certainly the Chinese version and otherwise would probably be international. Also, at the moment, the international version is only available in white. Surprised you can find it on Amazon. I would only buy from the official Aqara Amazon store...I would imagine they will only have the international version available there when shopping Amazon EU.

Hi Shane. First, thanks for your videos. I was wondering if there are any advantages of getting the Aqara Hub instead of using the hub feature in this camera? My Aqara hub just died and I’m wondering if I should buy another one or get one of those camera instead.
@ShaneCreates

Thank you! The only disadvantage is that currently, the G2H as a hub cannot expose controllers like switches and smart plugs to HomeKit (Aqara app only). This is temporary, as I actually thought they had already solved this until I recently noticed. I’ve been told this will be updated in the first weeks of November. Also, I believe the G2H actually allows you to connect twice as many child devices. Aside from that, of course you either get a security system or a camera depending on which you choose. Hope this helps.
