2026 verdict
Is a regular Wi-Fi security camera enough, or do you need one that works completely off the grid?
For most buyers, the
Aqara Camera G100 is the stronger all-round camera, undercutting the
Arlo Go 2 on price, carrying a better rating, shooting sharper 2K video, and pairing that with subscription-free local storage and RTSP streaming. The
Arlo Go 2 answers back with a real specialty: it supports more connectivity options overall, adds GPS, and offers customizable motion zones, making it the more capable choice for anyone monitoring a location or asset that has no reliable Wi-Fi. Most other specs, including weather resistance, warranty and video features, land as a tie between the two. If your camera will live somewhere with normal home Wi-Fi, the
Aqara Camera G100 is the easier, cheaper and better-rated choice, while the
Arlo Go 2 earns its keep only when connectivity flexibility and location tracking are the priority.
Price history compared
Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
