What the differences mean
Built-in hub
The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 doubles as a Zigbee coordinator, Thread border router and Matter bridge, so it can run Aqara sensors and bring them into other platforms. The Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 is a doorbell only.
Video
The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 records 2K with a 175 degree horizontal view; the Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 records 1080p across 162 degrees. Both keep black-and-white night vision.
Wi-Fi
The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 supports 2.4 and 5 GHz; the Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 is 2.4 GHz only, which its owners find weak through metal doors and brick walls.
Platforms and streams
Both work with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant. The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 adds SmartThings and an RTSP stream for local video recorders; the Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 has neither.
Motion zones and battery
Only the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 lets you draw motion zones. Both run on six AA cells or wiring, with 5 months rated for the G410 against 4 for the G4, though wiring is the better option on either.
Which one to buy if
- you are buying your first Aqara doorbell
The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 does everything the G4 does and adds 2K, 5 GHz and a Matter hub.
- you want to add Aqara Zigbee or Thread sensors
The G410 is itself the hub they need; the G4 would need a separate one.
- you record cameras locally with an NVR or Home Assistant
Only the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 offers RTSP.
- you only need HomeKit Secure Video on a simple wired porch
The Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 gives the same HKSV, free local storage and chime without the hub features.

What owners say
Owners of both Aqara doorbells praise the same core: HomeKit Secure Video that works, free microSD recording with 7 days of cloud, and an easy install that reuses the doorbell wiring. Both groups also mention buggy software. Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 owners single out notifications and video that arrive within a few seconds, dual-band Wi-Fi that spares them from forcing the network onto 2.4 GHz, and the Matter hub; they complain that face recognition can break alerts and recording until a reset, that a firmware update slowed HomeKit, that support is weak and that the battery panel is awkward to open. Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 owners praise durability in extreme heat and a loud chime, and warn that its AA batteries drain in weeks, that 2.4 GHz struggles through metal doors and masonry and that it will not record to microSD without internet.
Upgrading from the Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4?
Moving from the Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 to the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 buys 2K video, 5 GHz Wi-Fi, a wider view, motion zones, SmartThings, RTSP and a built-in Zigbee, Thread and Matter hub, in a body of the same size. HomeKit Secure Video, the chime, microSD storage and the six AA cells stay the same. It is worth it if the G4 struggles with Wi-Fi at your door or you want a hub; if it already works well on a wired porch, the gain is mostly resolution.
