2026 verdict
A HomeKit hub camera versus a 4K pan-tilt: the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro PoE is the better overall security camera than the Wyze Cam Pan v4, winning on owner rating, Power over Ethernet, RTSP, alerts, hub duties and a privacy zone.
The Wyze Cam Pan v4 is the more affordable camera and still leads on dual-band Wi-Fi, 2K and 4K video and customizable motion zones. Choose the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro PoE when you want a wired outdoor camera that also runs Zigbee, Thread and Matter for the rest of the house; choose the Wyze Cam Pan v4 if resolution and a cheaper pan-tilt body matter more than hub features.
