Aqara Camera E1 vs Reolink Duo 2V PoE

The Reolink Duo 2V PoE wins overall, with a higher rating, longer warranty, weather resistance, 4K video, color night vision, and PoE reliability all ahead of the Aqara Camera E1.

The Reolink Duo 2V PoE is a wired, weatherproof outdoor camera powered over Ethernet with 4K video and color night vision, while the Aqara Camera E1 is a cheaper indoor camera with broader connectivity and storage support instead.

No, the Aqara Camera E1 does not support Power over Ethernet. That capability belongs to the Reolink Duo 2V PoE, which uses a single Ethernet cable for both power and data.

The Aqara Camera E1 supports more storage methods overall, giving it an edge in that category over the Reolink Duo 2V PoE, even though the Duo 2V PoE leads on most other fronts.

The Reolink Duo 2V PoE fits buyers who want a reliable, wired outdoor camera with wide-angle 4K coverage, color night vision, and strong privacy and motion zone controls.
