The Arlo Pro 6 pulls ahead on HDR video, dual-band Wi-Fi and a rechargeable battery rated around 8 months, plus a broader alert menu that mostly depends on an Arlo subscription. Both deliver 2K with color night vision, a light, a siren and two-way audio, and the Arlo Pro 6 frames a wider 160-degree diagonal view against the Aqara's 140 degrees. Go with the Aqara Camera G100 for a fee-free wired install with native HomeKit, and with the Arlo Pro 6 for cable-free placement inside an Arlo system.
