2026 verdict
If your home runs on Apple Home, the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 is the stronger video doorbell here, and the EZVIZ CP4 is the peephole specialist for everyone else.
The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 shoots 2K with a 175-degree view, records to a microSD card or seven days of free cloud with no subscription, works with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant, and doubles as a Matter hub with Zigbee, Thread and a Matter bridge inside. The EZVIZ CP4 is a battery peephole camera that fits an existing door viewer, with a 4.3-inch indoor touchscreen, 1080p, infrared night vision and subscription-free recording to a microSD card, but only Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant. The EZVIZ CP4 is cheaper, better rated and more reliable out of the box. Buy the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 for HomeKit Secure Video and a built-in smart home hub, and the EZVIZ CP4 for a rental door with a peephole and no wiring.

What the differences mean
Platforms
The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 supports Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant. The EZVIZ CP4 supports Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant, with no Apple Home, so an Apple household should look at the Aqara.
Resolution and view
The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 records 2K with a 175-degree horizontal view. The EZVIZ CP4 records 1080p with a 166-degree diagonal view, so the Aqara is the sharper and the wider of the two.
Built-in hub
The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 doubles as a smart home hub, with a Zigbee coordinator, a Thread border router and a Matter bridge. The EZVIZ CP4 has no hub role at all; it is only a doorbell camera.
Installation
The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 mounts like a normal doorbell and can run wired or on six AA batteries. The EZVIZ CP4 replaces a peephole in the door, so it only fits a door that already has a viewer hole.
Software and support
The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 has the better hardware but the weaker software and support, with buggy AI features and thin documentation. The EZVIZ CP4 is the more polished and better rated of the two, though it lacks the advanced features.
Which one to buy if
- you want HomeKit Secure Video without a Ring-style subscription
The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 is one of the best HomeKit Secure Video doorbells and stores locally to a microSD card.
- you want the doorbell to also act as a smart home hub
The Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 includes a Zigbee coordinator, Thread border router and Matter bridge, something the EZVIZ CP4 does not.
- you rent and can only use the existing peephole
The EZVIZ CP4 fits the viewer hole with no drilling or wiring, the easiest option for a rental.
- you want the most dependable doorbell out of the box
The EZVIZ CP4 is the better rated and more reliable of the two, while the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 struggles with buggy software.
- you want a screen inside the home
The EZVIZ CP4 includes an indoor touchscreen that rings and can wake on motion, which the Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 does not have.

What owners say
Aqara Doorbell Camera Hub G410 owners who cycle through other brands keep coming back to speed and value: notifications and video arrive fast where rivals lagged, and the HomeKit Secure Video integration is called the best available, with a clear widescreen image and reliable people and package detection. They like the easy install on existing wiring, the dual-band Wi-Fi and the bundled Matter hub. Their complaints are all about software: the app and AI features can be buggy, one firmware update slowed HomeKit connections, documentation is thin, support is unhelpful, and the panel is awkward to open for battery swaps. EZVIZ CP4 owners, by contrast, are mostly content, praising the no-drill peephole install, the indoor touchscreen and clear day and night video, and warning that battery life falls off a cliff on a busy doorway and that the unit is not waterproof.
