Aqara Camera G100 vs Ring Indoor Cam Plus

The Aqara Camera G100 is the better overall camera, winning on price and adding IP65 weatherproofing, local microSD storage, RTSP, a spotlight, a siren and more alerts. The Ring Indoor Cam Plus has a higher rating, HDR and customizable motion zones, but it is indoor-only and leans on cloud recording.

Placement and storage separate them. The Aqara Camera G100 is IP65-rated for indoor or outdoor use and records locally to microSD, while the Ring Indoor Cam Plus is indoor-only and relies on cloud recording that typically requires a Ring subscription. The Ring adds HDR that the Aqara lacks.

Only the Aqara Camera G100 can. Its IP65 rating suits indoor or outdoor placement, whereas the Ring Indoor Cam Plus is built strictly for indoor use and is not weatherproofed for outside.

The Aqara Camera G100 does, recording locally to a microSD card with no subscription. The Ring Indoor Cam Plus stores footage in the cloud and generally needs a Ring Protect plan to save and review clips.

Buy the Ring Indoor Cam Plus if you are invested in Ring and Alexa and want a simple, HDR-equipped 2K indoor camera with customizable motion zones. It suits users who prefer cloud recording and easy setup over outdoor use or local storage.

Buy the Aqara Camera G100 if you want one affordable camera that works indoors and outdoors, with 2K video, local microSD storage, RTSP, a spotlight, a siren and native HomeKit support. It is the flexible, lower-cost choice for whole-home coverage.
