Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better overall: Aqara CameraHub G5 Pro PoE or Reolink Duo 2V PoE?
For coverage and value the Reolink Duo 2V PoE leads, with a lower price, a 2-year warranty, IP67 sealing and a 4K 180 degree dual-lens view recorded locally with no fee.

What is the biggest difference between the Aqara CameraHub G5 Pro PoE and the Reolink Duo 2V PoE?
Coverage versus integration. The Reolink Duo 2V PoE uses two sensors to cover a 180 degree panorama in 4K from one unit, while the Aqara CameraHub G5 Pro PoE is a single-lens camera that also acts as a Zigbee, Thread and Matter hub with a fuller AI alert set.
