Aqara Camera G100 vs Reolink Duo 3 PoE

The Reolink Duo 3 PoE is the better overall camera, with a higher owner rating, a high-resolution 16MP 4K dual-lens sensor, a 180-degree panoramic view, wired PoE reliability, IP67 build and a 2-year warranty. The Aqara Camera G100 is the more affordable option with more storage flexibility, a wider alert set and native HomeKit.

Coverage and resolution set them apart. The Reolink Duo 3 PoE stitches two high-resolution 16MP lenses into a wide 180-degree 4K panorama from one unit, while the Aqara Camera G100 is a single-lens 2K camera with a 140-degree field of view at a much lower price.

The Reolink Duo 3 PoE does, thanks to its dual 16MP lenses combining into a 180-degree 4K panoramic image. The Aqara Camera G100's single 140-degree 2K lens is capable but narrower and lower resolution, so the Duo 3 covers more ground in finer detail.

The Reolink Duo 3 PoE is powered and connected over a single Ethernet cable via Power over Ethernet, which needs a PoE switch or injector but gives a very stable feed. The Aqara Camera G100 uses 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and USB-C power, so it installs without any network wiring.

Buy the Reolink Duo 3 PoE if you want the widest and sharpest single-camera coverage, with a 16MP 4K panoramic view, wired PoE reliability and rugged IP67 build backed by a 2-year warranty. It suits large properties where one wide, always-online camera replaces several.

Buy the Aqara Camera G100 if you want an affordable, HomeKit-friendly camera with 2K video, flexible local storage and a broad alert set, without needing a panoramic view or Ethernet. It is the value choice for straightforward single-lens coverage.
