For most buyers, yes: the Aqara Camera Hub G3 is the overall winner in this camera matchup, backed by a friendlier price, a stronger rating, built-in hub functionality, broader connectivity, customizable motion zones and gesture recognition. The Blink Outdoor 2K+ still earns its keep for anyone who needs to mount a camera outside, since it counters with weather resistance, color night vision and two-way talk and listen, all things the indoor-focused G3 does not offer. Buyers who want one device that doubles as a smart home hub and reacts to gestures, at a lower price, should pick the Aqara Camera Hub G3, while anyone covering a porch, driveway or backyard in the elements should lean toward the Blink Outdoor 2K+.
