What owners say

Owners of both cameras rate the picture and the night vision highly and like storing footage locally without a monthly fee. Aqara Camera G100 owners single out HomeKit pairing that works out of the box and reliable operation through heavy rain and hard frost, and complain about a USB-C cable too short for outdoor mounting, occasional Wi-Fi drops and AI alerts behind a subscription. Reolink Duo 3 WiFi owners talk about a 180 degree view with almost no fish-eye, a Wi-Fi 6 link that stays stable at distance and how it fits into a wider Reolink setup, while their complaints are a fiddly first setup, grainy detail when zooming on distant subjects and no waterproof connector for the Ethernet cable. Heat comes up on both sides: Aqara owners describe shutdowns in sustained direct sun, Duo owners a camera that runs warm.
