What the differences mean

Connection and power

Smart home

Hub role

The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro PoE is also a Zigbee coordinator, Thread border router and Matter bridge, so it can run sensors across the yard. The Eufy Outdoor Cam E210 has no hub role.

Detection

Both detect people and animals and hear baby cries. The Aqara adds vehicles, familiar faces, packages and smoke alarm sounds.

Storage

The Eufy Outdoor Cam E210 has 8GB inside the camera plus a microSD slot. The Aqara records to microSD or a NAS over RTSP, with no built-in storage.

What owners say

Owners of both like keeping their footage local and report builds that hold up to rain and harsh weather. Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro PoE owners single out true-color night vision close to daylight, a PoE link with near-zero lag and no dropouts, and HomeKit alerts that show up almost instantly on an Apple TV; they complain about a mount that flips but does not swivel, a clunky Aqara app and a paywall for 24/7 recording unless they record to a NAS. Eufy Outdoor Cam E210 owners praise no monthly fees, an easy install with a magnetic mount and a long weatherproof cable, and reliable person and animal detection, but say the spotlight is dim, the app can take minutes to show a clip after an alert and shadows or plants trigger false alerts.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
