Two indoor cameras, and the Aqara Camera Hub G3 is the richer one: it beats the Ring Indoor Cam Plus on dual-band Wi-Fi, local microSD storage, person, animal and face alerts that need no plan, a Zigbee hub with Matter bridging and gesture recognition. The Ring Indoor Cam Plus costs less, is the better reviewed of the two and adds HDR, color night vision and two-way audio, but it saves no recordings without a Ring subscription and limits its free alerts to motion. It also works with fewer platforms (Alexa and Home Assistant), where the Aqara Camera Hub G3 adds Apple HomeKit and Google Home. For a HomeKit home or one built on Aqara sensors, get the Aqara Camera Hub G3; for a simple Alexa and Ring setup, the Ring Indoor Cam Plus is the easier fit.
