2026 verdict
Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 is the stronger overall pick of this video doorbell pair, cheaper than the aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra and reaching far more of the smart home.
It works with Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, Samsung SmartThings and Home Assistant, and doubles as a Zigbee coordinator, Thread border router and Matter bridge, none of which the aosu doorbell offers. It also runs five months on six AA batteries, covers a wide 175 degree horizontal view, and adds custom ringtones, voice changing and automatic replies, all with free microSD recording plus seven days of cloud. The aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra answers back with a sharper 5MP sensor behind a seven-element glass lens, an included base station that holds two months of footage for free, and the better owner rating of the two. Buy the aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra for the sharpest image and simplest storage; buy the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 to get a doorbell that doubles as a smart home hub.

Camera and view
The aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra's 5MP sensor through a seven-element glass lens is sharper than the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410's 2K image, but the Aqara's 175 degree horizontal field of view is wider than the aosu's 166 degree diagonal.
Storage without a subscription
The aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra's included base station holds 60 days of footage for free. The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 records to a user-supplied microSD card at no cost and adds 7 days of free cloud storage plus RTSP for local access.
Battery life
The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 is rated for about 5 months on six AA batteries. The aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra is rated for about 90 days on its rechargeable pack.

What owners say
Owners of both doorbells like getting real storage without paying monthly, but for different reasons. aosu Video Doorbell R1 Ultra owners praise the included base station holding two months of footage at no cost, describe long-term units running flawlessly for close to a year, and credit support with replacing a faulty unit without a fight; their complaints are inconsistent real-world battery life and one report of unreliable human detection. Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 owners single out how fast it notifies, often in a few seconds where other brands took 15 to 45, and call its HomeKit Secure Video integration the best they have used, on top of free local storage with no subscription; their recurring complaint is buggy app and AI behavior, including face recognition that has broken notifications and recording until a factory reset, plus support owners describe as thin.
