Updated October 2026
Data from Amazon and official Aqara and Reolink sites.
2026 verdict
Paid cloud, sitting beside a local card on both, does not decide this: the Reolink Duo 3 WiFi still leads the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro WiFi on picture and cabling.

Both security cameras take a microSD card, list continuous history and mark cloud as subscription required. The Reolink Duo 3 WiFi adds 4K, about 180 degrees, Ethernet plus dual-band Wi-Fi, IP67 and a two-year warranty. The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro WiFi stays at 2K and Wi-Fi only, and it spends the difference on a Zigbee, Thread and Matter hub, Apple Home, and alerts the Reolink does not list. Pick the Reolink Duo 3 WiFi to see a whole wall. Pick the Aqara when the camera must also run sensors.

What the differences mean

4K and Ethernet, or a hub

The Reolink Duo 3 WiFi lists 4K, about 180 degrees horizontal and 55 vertical, color night vision and a light. It has 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and Ethernet, though not PoE, and it is IP67 with a two-year warranty. The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro WiFi is 2K, about 133 degrees, IP65, dual-band Wi-Fi with no Ethernet, and a one-year warranty. The Reolink can fall back to a cable. The Aqara cannot.

The same card, plus a hub on one side

Both have a microSD slot, no built-in memory, continuous history, offline events, RTSP and subscription cloud. Neither includes a card. The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro WiFi is also a Zigbee coordinator, a Thread border router and a Matter bridge. The Reolink Duo 3 WiFi is not a hub. Storage will not separate them. The box of radios inside the Aqara will.

Alerts and assistants

The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro WiFi lists people, animals, vehicles, familiar faces, packages, baby crying and a smoke-alarm sound, and it works with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant. The Reolink Duo 3 WiFi lists people, animals and vehicles, works with Google Home and Home Assistant, and does not list Alexa or Apple Home. If the phone you open is the Home app, the Aqara is the one that answers.

What the wide lens is for

About 180 degrees on the Reolink Duo 3 WiFi is a driveway or a building face, not a nursery. The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro WiFi's 133 degree view is closer to a single outdoor cone, with the hub features doing the extra work. Both are wired, neither is a battery, and both have a siren, two-way talk, motion zones and a privacy zone.

What owners say

Owners of both praise a plug-in camera that does not ask to be charged, and both mention a first setup that is less casual than a battery cam. Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro WiFi owners single out color night vision close to daylight and dual-band Wi-Fi that stays up where other HomeKit cameras dropped. They worry about a short USB-C lead with no brick in the box, a spotlight they find a bit weak, and a mount that does not articulate freely. Reolink Duo 3 WiFi owners single out a crisp 180 degree view with little fisheye, stable Wi-Fi even at a distance, and local recording with no requirement to live in the cloud. They warn the ultra-wide lens wastes itself in a small room and that first setup may want a cable before the camera will join Wi-Fi.

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.
