It records 2K with a spotlight for color at night, stores to a microSD card or a NAS with no subscription, and adds HomeKit Secure Video, SmartThings and an RTSP stream. The Wyze Solar Cam Pan 2K wins on solar charging alone here, panning 360 degrees and charging itself, but it has no RTSP and keeps most smart alerts behind Cam Plus. Pick the Aqara Camera G100 for a porch or garage near power and for Apple Home, and the Wyze Solar Cam Pan 2K for a spot with sun and no outlet.

What the differences mean

Power

The Aqara Camera G100 is wired and needs a USB-C outlet. The Wyze Solar Cam Pan 2K runs on a battery charged from the sun, so it fits where there is no power.

Ecosystem

The Aqara Camera G100 supports HomeKit with HomeKit Secure Video, SmartThings, Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant, and lists Matter as an upcoming update. The Wyze Solar Cam Pan 2K covers Alexa and Google Home only.

RTSP

The Aqara Camera G100 streams RTSP for a NAS or NVR; the Wyze Solar Cam Pan 2K does not.

Privacy zone

The Aqara Camera G100 can mask an area from recording. The Wyze Solar Cam Pan 2K has no privacy zone.

Coverage

The Aqara Camera G100 has a fixed 140 degree lens, while the Wyze Solar Cam Pan 2K pans 360 degrees and tilts 70, so it can cover or follow a much wider area.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of the Aqara Camera G100 single out how painless it is to add to Apple Home, often pairing by scanning a code, with HomeKit Secure Video and no separate hub. They describe a sharp 2K image and spotlight-assisted color night vision that beats cameras costing more, and IP65 reliability through heavy rain, wind and deep cold, plus free local recording to a microSD card or NAS. Their recurring gripes are the short USB-C cable that rarely reaches an outdoor spot, occasional 2.4GHz disconnects that need a power cycle, overheating in sustained direct sun, and advanced AI alerts that sit behind a subscription.

Price history compared
