The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro WiFi is the better smart home camera than the Reolink Argus PT Ultra + Solar Panel, winning on Wi-Fi plus Ethernet connectivity, native RTSP, a longer alert list, stronger owner reviews and a built-in Zigbee, Thread and Matter hub. The Reolink Argus PT Ultra + Solar Panel goes another way: a solar-charged battery camera that records 4K, pans 355 degrees and tilts 140, with a two-year warranty and a lower price, although RTSP and Home Assistant need a Reolink Home Hub and it does not record 24/7. Both are IP65, save to microSD and include color night vision, a light, a siren and two-way talk. Choose the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro WiFi for a powered spot in a HomeKit or Matter home; choose the Reolink Argus PT Ultra + Solar Panel to cover a wide area far from any outlet.
