What the differences mean
Camera, or camera plus hub
The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 lists a Zigbee coordinator, a Thread border router and a Matter bridge. The Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) lists none of those. That is the whole hub question: the G410 can sit at the center of other Aqara sensors, and the G400 cannot. The search phrase about a Thunderbolt hub is not what this sheet describes. The hub features actually listed are Zigbee, Thread and Matter bridging, not a computer port.
Ethernet and weather
The Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) is hardwired only, with Ethernet, 5 GHz and an IP65 rating, and no battery. The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 is a battery doorbell on six AAs, rated at 5 months, with wiring optional, 5 GHz, no Ethernet, and IPX3. IP65 is dust-tight and resistant to water jets. IPX3 is a light splash rating. A porch in driving rain is a G400 installation. A porch with no cable and a need for battery power is a G410 installation.
What each alert row says
Both list people, motion zones, voice changing, RTSP, Apple Home and a microSD slot. The Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) also lists animals, vehicles, packages and familiar faces, with those four marked subscription required, and 24/7 history on a card or an NVR. The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 lists familiar faces without that subscription mark, packages behind a subscription, and does not list animals or vehicles. It offers 7 days of free cloud beside the card. Color night vision is not supported on either.
Power-cut clips and range
The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 can keep an event when mains power is out, because it has batteries, and it publishes a 4 m detection range. The Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) does not list powerless event history, which matches a wired-only camera, and it does not publish a detection range. The G410 is 1080p and also marked as 2K. The G400 gives the picture as 1536 by 2048 and 2K. Both include a chime. Outdoor custom ringtone is listed on the G410 and not documented on the G400.
Which one to buy if
- you can pull Ethernet to the door and want the tougher weather rating
The Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) lists Ethernet, IP65 and a hardwired install, with animal and vehicle alerts on the sheet and no battery to change.
- the doorbell also has to be the Zigbee, Thread and Matter hub
Only the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 lists a Zigbee coordinator, a Thread border router and a Matter bridge. The Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) is a camera, not a hub.
- there are no wires and the doorbell has to run on batteries
The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 uses six AA batteries rated at 5 months, with wiring optional. The Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) has no battery and must be hardwired.
- you want animal and vehicle detection listed, even on a plan
Those alerts are on the Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired), marked subscription required. They are not listed on the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410.

What owners say
Owners of the Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) praise Apple Home speed, a press that arrives as a video call, and PoE that removes battery maintenance. The chime is the complaint: too quiet, and it will not drive a mechanical chime. Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 owners praise fast alerts, HomeKit Secure Video, dual-band Wi-Fi and the built-in hub, and they like not paying for basic microSD clips. Their trouble is software: face recognition that some say broke notifications until a reset, thin documentation, and a panel that is awkward to open for the batteries. A few praise lines mention color at night, while the same write-up's caveats say night vision is black and white, which is also what the spec says.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better overall: Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) or Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410?
The Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) as a wired camera. It is the better reviewed and more affordable, and it leads on Ethernet, weather rating and the alert list. The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 is the better buy only when you need the built-in Zigbee, Thread and Matter hub, or you need battery power.
What is the difference between the Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) and the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410?
The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 is a doorbell and a hub: Zigbee coordinator, Thread border router and Matter bridge, on six AA batteries. The Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) is a hardwired camera with Ethernet, IP65, no hub features and no battery. Both do Apple Home, RTSP and microSD. Only the G400 lists animal and vehicle alerts.
Is the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 a hub, or only a doorbell camera?
It is both. The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 lists a Zigbee coordinator, a Thread border router and a Matter bridge, plus the camera. The Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) lists none of those hub roles. Nothing on either sheet describes a Thunderbolt port. The hub comparison is Thread, Zigbee and Matter.
Do the Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired) and the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 have color night vision?
No. Both list black and white night vision, and color night vision is marked not supported. A line in the G410 owner praise mentions night color, which disagrees with that spec and with the same product's caveats. Use the spec: black and white after dark on both.
Who should buy the Aqara Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired)?
Doors you can hardwire, especially with Ethernet or PoE, where you want IP65, 2K on a card or NVR, RTSP and Apple Home, and you do not need the doorbell to hub other sensors.
Who should buy the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410?
Homes that want one Aqara doorbell to be the Zigbee, Thread and Matter hub as well, on battery or optional wires, with microSD, Apple Home and a 5 month AA rating.
