In this video we're looking at the new Aqara Camera Hub G350 and Smart Video Doorbell G400, two of the most flexible HomeKit Secure Video cameras currently available.

The G350 is also the first smart home camera with Matter 1.5 support, which introduces camera compatibility to the Matter standard for the first time. While Apple Home doesn’t support Matter cameras yet, this makes the G350 one of the most future-ready cameras available today.

Both cameras support Apple Home, HomeKit Secure Video, local SD card recording, NAS storage, and RTSP streaming, making them strong options if you want reliable smart home cameras without mandatory subscriptions.

If you’re building an Apple Home smart home and want cameras that work today and prepare you for future Matter camera support, these are definitely worth a look.

Thanks to Aqara for sponsoring this video and providing the G350 and G400 cameras.
