A single device, Aqara's latest video doorbell, combines a camera and smart hub, and it's Matter compatible.
The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410, originally teased at CES 2025, has now been launched, offering a unique blend of security, convenience, and smart home integration. Priced at £129.99 / $129.99, this device is available to buy now at Amazon.
The G410 is more than just a video doorbell; it's a comprehensive smart home hub, complete with a 2K Ultra HD lens camera, local facial recognition, and AI-powered features. Its 175° field of view ensures that nothing goes unnoticed, while its two-way talk functionality allows for clear and easy communication.
One of the standout features of the G410 is its local facial recognition, which does not upload data to the cloud. This ensures enhanced privacy for users. In the Aqara Home app, users can also mask images in sensitive areas for added security.
The G410 also boasts cloud and local storage options with enhanced end-to-end encryption, providing peace of mind for users who want to store their recordings securely. Moreover, the doorbell comes with a built-in 95dB chime, adding a traditional touch to this modern device.
But the G410's real strength lies in its compatibility. It supports third-party Matter-compatible gadgets, making it a bridge between Aqara's Zigbee ecosystem and Matter devices from other brands. This means it can integrate with major smart home platforms like Apple Home (via HomeKit Secure Video for Aqara cameras), Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant, and Homey.
While the G410 itself is a Matter-compatible hub, the specific third-party Matter devices supported depend on the Matter ecosystem’s device support and Aqara’s ongoing firmware updates. However, the G410 can integrate with Aqara Zigbee devices such as door/window sensors, which then appear as Matter devices to third-party ecosystems.
Moreover, Aqara's recent products like the Camera G100 and H2 Dimmer Switch also support Matter, Thread, and Zigbee and can be integrated similarly through the G410.
Finally, users have the option to change their voice on the G410 to protect their identity, adding an extra layer of privacy to this already secure device. With its wide range of features and compatibility, the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 is a versatile central hub for integrating various third-party Matter devices into your smart home system.
- The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 isn't simply a video doorbell; it's a versatile central hub for smart home automation, connecting seamlessly with various third-party Matter devices, transforming it into a comprehensive smart home system.
- This modern device, the G410, allows users to integrate a wide array of smart home gadgets like Aqara's own Zigbee devices or third-party Matter devices, turning the home into a fully connected, technologically advanced smart home environment.
