Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 vs Wyze Duo Cam Video Doorbell

It's close, but the Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 edges it on a lower price and Apple HomeKit support. The Wyze Duo Cam Video Doorbell is better rated and offers dual cameras, 2K video, longer battery life and customizable motion zones, so it wins on features if HomeKit isn't a factor.

Cameras and platform. The Wyze Duo Cam Video Doorbell has two cameras (one for visitors, one aimed at packages on the ground) in 2K, while the single-camera Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 shoots 1080p but adds Apple HomeKit, which the Wyze does not support.

The Wyze Duo Cam Video Doorbell, rated up to 6 months, versus about 4 months for the Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 (which uses six AA cells). Both can also be hardwired, and both record locally to microSD without a mandatory subscription.

Yes. The Aqara Smart Video Doorbell G4 records to microSD with 7 days of free cloud, and the Wyze Duo Cam Video Doorbell records locally to microSD too, though some Wyze features like vehicle detection and longer clips need its Cam Plus plan.

Apple households and budget buyers who want HomeKit, subscription-free recording, and extras like custom ringtones and voice changing, all at a lower price than the Wyze.

Anyone who specifically wants to watch packages on the ground with a dedicated second camera, plus longer battery life, dual-band Wi-Fi and customizable motion zones, and who doesn't need Apple HomeKit.
