2026 verdict

Winner
Arlo Ultra 2
Last recorded priceAug 16, 2026$189.99
Currently unavailable on Amazon USA
As the flagship camera in this pairing, the
Arlo Ultra 2 pulls ahead overall on video quality and smart detection, winning on broader Wi-Fi connectivity, 4K video, HDR, a wider range of supported alert types, and customizable motion zones over the
Aqara Camera G100. Value shoppers should not write off the
Aqara Camera G100, though, since it costs less, holds a better user rating, and offers subscription-free local storage plus RTSP streaming, none of which the
Arlo Ultra 2 includes. Weather resistance and warranty are tied between the two, so the choice mostly hinges on whether flagship video and alert depth or price and storage flexibility matter more. Pick the
Arlo Ultra 2 for the sharpest video and richest smart detection, and pick the
Aqara Camera G100 if a lower price, a stronger rating and subscription-free storage are the priority.
