2026 verdict
For a camera that also runs your smart home, the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro WiFi is the better of these two security cameras, adding dual-band Wi-Fi, HomeKit and a Zigbee, Thread and Matter hub.
It records 2K with true-color night vision, stores to a microSD card or a NAS over RTSP with no forced subscription, and works with Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant. The Wyze Solar Cam Pan 2K wins on price and solar charging, panning 360 degrees and charging itself, but it has no RTSP and keeps its smartest alerts behind Cam Plus. Pick the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro WiFi for an Apple or Zigbee home with power nearby, and the Wyze Solar Cam Pan 2K for a sunny spot far from an outlet.

What owners say
Owners of the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro WiFi, several coming from Eufy, Logitech and Arlo HomeKit cameras, say this is the one that finally stays online, crediting its dual-band Wi-Fi and an automatic quality setting that steps the stream down instead of dropping it. True-color night vision is the other theme, described again and again as making a dark yard look almost like daylight, along with accurate local people, animal, vehicle and package detection, a schedulable spotlight and built-in Zigbee, Thread and Matter hub duties. Their main concern is outdoor power: an exposed USB-C connector with a short cable and no power brick, which some worry is exposed to weather.
