The Wyze Cam v4 also covers a wider set of detection alerts. The Aqara Camera G100's real edge is a privacy zone the Wyze lacks, plus Apple HomeKit and Samsung SmartThings support, and both shoot 2K with color night vision, a light, a microSD card and RTSP. Choose the Aqara Camera G100 if you want an inexpensive HomeKit camera, and the Wyze Cam v4 for sharper contrast, more alerts and pure value.

What the differences mean

HDR

The Wyze Cam v4 records HDR to hold detail in a bright window and a shadowed corner at once. The Aqara Camera G100 does not offer HDR, so harsh backlight is harder on it.

Privacy zone

The Aqara Camera G100 lets you mask part of the frame so it is never recorded, useful when a neighbour's window sits at the edge of the view. The Wyze Cam v4 has customizable motion zones but no privacy masking.

Platform support

The Aqara Camera G100 supports Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings, Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant, with Matter due through an update. The Wyze Cam v4 covers Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant but not HomeKit, SmartThings or Matter.

Alert coverage

The Wyze Cam v4 detects more types, including vehicle, package and familiar-face alerts plus carbon monoxide alarm listening. The Aqara Camera G100 is narrower, with people on the camera and animals, vehicles, faces and packages behind a plan.

Local recording

Both record to a microSD card and offer RTSP, and the Aqara Camera G100 can send a continuous stream to a NAS. Neither includes a card, and the Wyze Cam v4 also adds optional cloud storage.

What owners say

Owners of both cameras describe a setup that takes only minutes and video that looks better than the price suggests. Aqara Camera G100 owners call HomeKit pairing painless and praise the sharp 2K image, the spotlight-assisted color night vision and the IP65 build, plus recording to a microSD card or a NAS with no subscription. Their recurring concerns are a short included power cable, occasional 2.4 GHz drops, overheating under sustained direct sun, and AI alerts that need a plan. Wyze Cam v4 owners instead highlight the HDR image, the vibrant color night vision and the motion spotlight, and free microSD recording, while warning that smart alerts need Cam Plus and that it is 2.4 GHz only with no privacy zone.
