Aqara Camera Hub G3 vs Arlo Pro 6

The Arlo Pro 6 wins overall thanks to weather resistance, HDR, color night vision, a broader range of alerts, a built-in light, two-way talk and a privacy zone. The Aqara Camera Hub G3 counters with a lower price, more storage options, its Zigbee hub role, customizable motion zones and gesture recognition.

The key difference is where each camera belongs: the Arlo Pro 6 is a weatherproof outdoor camera with color night vision and HDR, while the Aqara Camera Hub G3 is meant for indoor use and additionally works as a Zigbee hub, a role the Arlo Pro 6 does not fill.

Yes. The Aqara Camera Hub G3 costs less, supports more storage options, functions as a Zigbee smart-home hub, and adds customizable motion zones and gesture recognition, all areas where the Arlo Pro 6 falls short.

The Arlo Pro 6 is the clear pick for outdoor placement, with weather resistance, color night vision and HDR video, while the Aqara Camera Hub G3 is designed for indoor use only and lacks weatherproofing.

Budget-conscious shoppers who want an indoor camera that also serves as a Zigbee hub, with customizable motion zones and gesture recognition, should choose the Aqara Camera Hub G3.

Anyone monitoring an outdoor space who wants weatherproof durability, color night vision and a broader alert system should pick the Arlo Pro 6.
