2026 verdict
Every ecosystem against built-in storage: the
Aqara Camera G100 is the better wired outdoor security camera of these two, with sharper 2K video and support for Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant.
It is also the more affordable one, records to a microSD card or a NAS with no subscription, offers RTSP and privacy zones, and Aqara lists Matter support as an upcoming update. The
Eufy Outdoor Cam E210 fights back with 8GB of storage built in on top of its card slot, IP67 sealing against IP65 on the Aqara, and free person, animal and baby crying alerts, but it records 1080p and does not work with Apple Home. Both have a spotlight, color night vision and 24/7 recording. Choose the
Aqara Camera G100 for HomeKit or a mixed smart home, and the
Eufy Outdoor Cam E210 for a no-fuss camera that records even before you buy a card.
What owners say
Owners of both cameras agree on the basics: setup is quick, local storage frees them from monthly fees, color night vision with the spotlight is useful, and the bodies survive rain and hard frost. Aqara Camera G100 owners single out HomeKit pairing that often works by scanning a code and a 2K image they compare with pricier cameras, and complain about a USB-C cable too short for outdoor installs, occasional Wi-Fi drops, overheating in long direct sun and AI alerts behind a subscription. Eufy Outdoor Cam E210 owners praise the strong magnetic mount, the long weatherproof cable and human and animal detection that cuts false alerts, while their complaints are a dim spotlight, an app that is slow to show the clip after an alert, shadows and plants read as people, and a US plug in some regions.
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.
