Aqara Camera G100 vs Aqara Camera Hub G2H Pro

The Aqara Camera G100 comes out ahead overall. It costs less, adds weather resistance for outdoor use, records sharper 2K video with a color night vision spotlight, supports RTSP streaming, and covers more alert types. The Aqara Camera Hub G2H Pro fights back with a better user rating and its unique role as a Zigbee hub, but as a standalone camera the G100 is the more complete package.

The core difference is purpose. The Aqara Camera Hub G2H Pro is not just a camera, it also works as a Zigbee hub that can onboard Aqara door and window sensors for automations, and it gives more granular customizable motion zones. The Aqara Camera G100 skips the hub role entirely and instead focuses on being a weatherproof, higher-resolution camera with color night vision and RTSP support at a lower price.

Weather resistance is one of the areas the Aqara Camera G100 wins in this comparison, meaning it is built to handle outdoor exposure. The Aqara Camera Hub G2H Pro does not match that weatherproofing here, which points to it being better suited to indoor placement.

Not in this comparison. Acting as a hub, bringing Aqara Zigbee sensors onto the network for automations, is one of the Aqara Camera Hub G2H Pro's real strengths. The Aqara Camera G100 is a standalone camera, so anyone who wants a single device to both watch a room and manage sensors should choose the G2H Pro instead.

The Aqara Camera G100 suits buyers who want an affordable, weatherproof camera that can go indoors or outdoors, with sharper 2K video, color night vision, RTSP support and a wide range of alert options, without needing any hub functionality.

The Aqara Camera Hub G2H Pro is the better choice for households already using, or planning to use, Aqara Zigbee sensors, since it combines an indoor camera with a hub in one plugged-in device, plus it carries a stronger rating and more precise customizable motion zones.
