Aqara Camera Hub G2H Pro vs TP-Link Tapo C100 comparison

Updated August 2026

Data from Amazon and official Aqara and TP-Link sites.

2026 verdict

The TP-Link Tapo C100 is the clear winner in this budget camera matchup, backed by a lower price, a better user rating, a longer warranty, RTSP support, a built-in light, and a wider range of alert types than the Aqara Camera Hub G2H Pro. The one place the Aqara Camera Hub G2H Pro still pulls ahead is its built-in Zigbee hub, which lets it double as a bridge for Aqara sensors, a role the TP-Link Tapo C100 was never designed for. Anyone who already owns Aqara Zigbee sensors and wants a single device to run both the camera and the hub should stick with the Aqara Camera Hub G2H Pro. Everyone else looking for a simple, inexpensive indoor camera with a solid track record and RTSP flexibility will get more for less with the TP-Link Tapo C100.
