That said, the Aqara Camera Hub G3 is not without its own strengths: it is the cheaper option, offers more storage flexibility, works double duty as a Zigbee hub, and adds customizable motion zones plus gesture recognition, none of which the Arlo Pro 6 supports. For anyone watching a porch or yard who wants weatherproofing and full-color night footage, the Arlo Pro 6 is the safer buy. For anyone shopping mainly on price who also wants a camera that can anchor a Zigbee smart-home setup indoors, the Aqara Camera Hub G3 still makes a compelling case.
