Aqara Camera G100 vs Reolink Duo 2V PoE

The Reolink Duo 2V PoE, as an outdoor security camera. It adds PoE, 4K across a 180 degree view, an IP67 rating, animal and vehicle alerts with no plan and a two-year warranty. The Aqara Camera G100 is the better pick for smart home reach, with HomeKit, Alexa and SmartThings support.

No. The Aqara Camera G100 is a wired camera powered by USB-C that connects over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, with no Ethernet port and no PoE. If PoE is what you need, the Reolink Duo 2V PoE is the one of these two that has it.

Not for recording: both save video locally to microSD, including 24/7 history, and both stream over RTSP. The Aqara Camera G100 puts animal, vehicle, face and package alerts behind a subscription; the Reolink Duo 2V PoE includes people, animal and vehicle detection.

The Aqara Camera G100 works with both, plus Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant. The Reolink Duo 2V PoE supports Google Home and Home Assistant but not Alexa or HomeKit.

Apple Home, Alexa or SmartThings households that want an inexpensive 2K camera with local recording, color night vision and a spotlight, indoors or on a covered outdoor wall.

Anyone wiring a wide outdoor area over Ethernet, such as a driveway, a yard or a warehouse, who wants 4K panoramic coverage, a vandal-resistant IP67 build and local recording to microSD or an NVR.
